1408

I watched 1408 a few days ago, it was a decent movie overall. (Look as though it was based off a Stephen King short story)

The movie was staring John Cusack, who was a writer that wrote books on hunted hotels, inns and bed and breakfasts.

From what the movie let on he didn't really like his job, and most of the times he was never afraid of the place he stayed.

The fact that it showed so blatantly that he never got spooked out by the places he was staying at you knew what the movie was going to be about.

He got a postcard from an anonymous person saying don't stay in 1408....

The postcard was of a hotel in NYC.

When he started to look into the hotel and the room he saw there had been a lot deaths in that room, he tried to book a that room via calling the hotel and was just hung up on.

So he took a trip to NYC.

When he got to NYC the hotel manager told him that the room is unavailable, after a long conversation, he got the room....

In the end the room was basically pure hell, I'm not going to detail every part of the stay, because it would clearly ruin a movie that is actually worth seeing.

I will say that there are parts that were a little predictable, where you will thing come on, don't go out the window!

It was entertaining enough to where I didn't feel like it was a waste of time, but not the best movie I've ever seen!

I would say that the suspense of the movie was it strongest aspect, it really was an edge of your seat type movie...you had a idea of what was to come but just didn't know when it was going to happen.

The weakest part in the stereotypical stupid moves that people in horror movies make that cost them injury or death....the "oh come on" scenes.

Beowulf

I wish I hadn't of bothered renting Beowulf... in the voice of comic book guy from the Simpson's "One of the worst movies EVER".

I remember reading the Epic tale of Beowulf when I was in high school, and thinking that it was interesting, had to understand...but interesting

The movie was nothing like the epic tale it was a poor interpretation of a timeless story.

When the movie first started and I saw it was CGI, I was thinking "oh cool intro" about 3 minutes later I was thinking...when is the CGI going to stop.

The only positive is that the CGI did look fairly real, but not real enough for an entire movie.

CGI should only be used to supplement live action.

I don't know what more to say about a poorly done movies, there wasn't an true camera work seeing as how it's CGI.

If you read reviews on rotten tomatoes everybody that liked the movies talks about how great the CGI was but not much about the content of the movie.
