jet_li_wannabe made it here at 9:15, and I unfairly chewed him out, since he didn't realize how early we generally should be at these screenings. Fortunately, this was at the Regal, which holds about twice as many folks as Phipps. So we were fine.
Movie was damned fun, if not particularly good. Wasn't helped by the fact that Busta Rhymes was quite possibly the second or third best actor in the flick.
And that he spoiled a fact in his interview on Smackdown earlier.
But the flick was fun -- some very nice imagery harking back to the original movie (including an accidental recreation of one of the murders in that movie), as well as tributes to a lot of other flicks -- Blair Witch and Friday the Thirteenth Part 3, most noticeably.
And this was the first horror flick that's really used the Internet in a halfway intelligent way, which gets them bonus points.
But it's certainly not worth paying a ton of money for in the theaters. I mean, it's just not as good as Minority Report, no matter how much it wants to be. :-)
On the other hand, did Minority Report have any half-eaten rats? I think not.
And as an added bonus, Katee Sackhoff, who plays the yummy (if slutty) best friend of the lead, shares my birthday (although she's eight years younger. Gah).
