"Whiteout," a big-budget and highly hyped movie about Antarctica, is arriving in theaters to some of the worst reviews ever. It has an 8 percent rating at Rotten Tomatoes as I write this. That makes "Star Wars Episode I" look like "Gone With The Wind."
I was going to go on a tirade about how this is all too common, but instead I'll just make a few rental recommendations : "The Fast Runner," "Krasnaya Palatka" ("The Red Tent") and - sorry a sentimental favorite - "Never Cry Wolf." Or any account about Shackleton that isn't docudrama (one of those aired a few years ago and it was excruciating, sort of like "Titanic" forgetting the real drama had to do with the boat).
