To be fair, I sure as [expletive] wasn't going to pay to see that in a theater. Very few movies have that status for me anymore. If I watch a movie for minimal cost at home and it sucks, no harm no foul other than lost time.

That's part of what bugs me about it. I go to the theater five times a year or so. This was one of the ones that successfully lured me out to the big screen. And it wound up being my least favorite movie since "Crash" or "A.I.".

I feel like I was completely robbed. Because if I had known what that movie was really about, there's no way in hell I would've gone to the theater for it. Hell, I may not have even watched it for free.

I knew I wasn't going to see it because I hate the handheld/camcorder method. The trailers also strongly hinted at DB main characters. So I spoiled myself by looking up the plot on the web hoping maybe there was something interesting at the end. I had the same reaction JL is having now.

The Book of Eli is awesome. Great twist.

I couldn't finish Crash.

And I just got through watching all of Cop Out, so that say's something.

I was being all ironic and GRB referential.

I recently re-watched Clue: The Movie for approximately the 800th through 802nd time. Like The Goonies, it more than holds up because of the fantastic nostalgia factor. Plus I have a renewed overwhelming French maid fetish.

One of my all-time faves. It's been a long while since I watched it, I'll have to watch that next time I'm in the mood for a comedy.

It's early, but all The Social Network reviews that are out are extremely positive.
