No. Really. Don't. Had I not got it at the $1 machine, there would be a smoldering pile of rubble where Blockbuster was.

I knew it would be stupid, but not that stupid.

What compells someone to make such garbage?

Its 60 minutes I can never have back. Ever.

It's that short a movie???? Or, did you give up early?

It said 78 minute run time, but credits began to roll shortly after the 60 minute mark.

Damn, that's a short flick. Thought movies had to be a certain length or something... Reckon it was for the best though <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

Best <90 minute movie I've seen recently was Cloverfield. 1:07 at credit roll.

Imdb gives it an 84 minute runtime...I guess they count the 'I will survive' musical montage at the end as the movie?

You didn't like Cloverfield, did you? My 14 year old wanted to rent something "scary" a few weeks ago, so I got that. I slept through almost all of it, but she said it was terrible. The handheld camera crap turned me off big time. We also watched I Am Legend, No Land For Old Men (or something like that), and Waterhorse. Waterhorse was the best movie of all of them. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

Has to be one of the worst movies of all time to get a 98 rotten rating <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

Cloverfield is actually a 3 minutes movie. This is how long I managed to get through before I turned it off. I could not even comprehend what is the movie about.

I actually did like Cloverfield. Thought the HandiCam was kinda cool, in a Blair Witch kinda way. You are correct that it's definitely not scary. My 8 and 10 year old boys loved it. I am Legend was somewhat ok. Little boring and very overdone topic-wise. Kids liked that one too. No Country for Old Men was a Cohen Bros. Nuff said. Random violence. (kids didn't watch that one, if you were wondering <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shame.gif" alt="" />) Rather pointless flick IMHO. Haven't seen Waterhorse yet. But, it's in the BB que.
