A quick word on "Catfish"


I actually saw this last week and wasn't able to get around to it. Like almost everything you've heard, it's best to go in without any foreknowledge, so I'm really not going to bother going into the set up. You can glean all of that from the trailer. All I will say is that if you've been hyped up into believing this is some Blair Witch-style horror fest, you'll be sorely disappointed. Whether you think it's a hoax or not (I can't really decide), it's a compelling (though not overwhelmingly so) and entertaining assembled-footage piece about the so-called Internet Generation.

Grade: B-

Watch the "Catfish" trailer...if you dare


No, it's not a horror film...I don't think. According to some who have seen this festival hit, it's best to have seen next to nothing about it. Call me a wuss, but when the tone of this preview started to shift, I fast-forwarded through the rest of it. Maybe I missed something in that 25 or 30 seconds that I skipped over, but I still have no idea what on earth is going on with this pseudo documentary, but I'm dying to know the big secret.
