3 Out Of 4...Sucks!

In anticipation of the cold and the holiday, Nicol and I took a trip to Blockbuster on Wednesday. We picked out four movies, since we don't have cable yet, and I can't watch football. SNIFF. SNIFF. Our choices were: Dark Knight, The Mummy 3, Burn After Reading, and Ghost Town. Personally, I thought all four would be great movies to watch...wrong.

First movie: Dark Knight was okay. Heath Ledger was as good as promised, but it was wayyyyyy too long, and I thought the inclusion of Two Face was lame. Not my favorite.

Second movie: Burn After Reading, which should be re-titled to Burn Before Watching. It was stupid.

Third movie: The Mummy. I love the first Mummy, and the second one was pretty good. This one, though....sucked. It seemed that the script was written by the same writers of Josh and Drake on Nickelodeon...the lame parenting attempts...please. As usual, the special effects were good, but not enough to rescue the movie.

Fourth movie: Ghost Town. FINALLY!!! This one was funny.

I'm really disappointed. What a waste of money. I wonder if Blockbuster would give me a refund?

I haven't heard of Ghost Town either. :)

I liked Dark Knight. I haven't watched Burn After Reading and probably won't now. I liked the first Mummy, but haven't watched any after that.

Thanks for the info!
