Rented Zombieland and watched it earlier this evening. It was entertaining but not really funny at all. I can't say that I laughed one time. Like I said, it was entertaining, but not really funny.

Whatever I rent, I'm going to have to do it now because my neighborhood Blockbuster Video is going out of business.

Really? Not even during the celebrity cameo?

Not really. I enjoyed it, but it just wasn't funny. I laughed out loud watching movies like The Hangover, Super Bad, etc... but not this.

Finally watched Paranormal Activity and wow. I figured it was bad but damn. The only thing keeping my interest was the chance that the female would get naked lol.

I don't think Zombieland was supposed to be that type of humor though. Movies don't necessarily need to be hilariously funny to be funny. If that makes sense.

Did you like that? I thought it was a pretty weird movie. Not all that great, but it was worth watching.

I thought it was out of the norm....I think that was why I liked it. Ferell has done several quirky movies. I get tired of the same Hollywood crap all of the time.

By the way, for those thinking about renting Whiteout.....it was terrible. I have no idea how that even made it to theaters.

Rented Bandits over this past weekend. Enjoyed it, however, I'm not a movie buff and enjoy most every movie I see.

I thought it was a great movie, and was one of the few times I thought Ferrell did a great job acting. The midget scenes were hilarious haha

I just watched "Red Violin" last night. Excellent!

Kinda weird to see Samuel Jackson in a movie like that, though. But it worked!
