Movies my parents rented
My parents have never been great at picking movies to rent. The rarely do it but when they do it takes them a while to find ones they like. I still can't comprehend why they rented Hauunted Mansion last time. Any way this round goes as follows:
1) Hitch - formulaic romantic comedy with very few moments to comedy worth laughing out loud about. Very forgetable.
2) National Treasure - very reminiscent of The Da Vinci Code, hiding clues to a hidden treasure in obvious sight to everyone. Also very much like Tomb Raider with a male lead, so much to the fact that Jon Voight played the father of the main character as well as Lara Croft. And does the act that played Boromir play anything else besides bad guys, other examples being LotR:FotR and Goldeneye. OK I guess but not something that needs to be seen. The blonde is nice to look at though.
3) White Noise - thriller about EVP. the jumpy parts are forced with the sudden loud sound or the flash of someone on the screen that the main character is watching. I keep zoning out so I may have missed somethings but it seemed kind of jumpy in the plot and short on reason they went to some locations. Reminded me of The Ring. not really worth seeing, I figured out the fate of the main character about 25 mins into the movie. it's nice to see that Michael Keaton is still getting work.
After watching all of these, my mom made the suggestion of sending me for movies next time. I'm not sure how they would take low budget zombie films. They might like Office Space though.

They'd love Office Space. They would not love your usual horror remake/Rob Zombie crud. Because, really, who does....

crud? you wound me with your words.
total crud.
who are you to criticize about picking out movies anyway?
Man, if only I could remember the names of some of the stinkers you bought and brought home....
i never bought movie for anyone but myself. sorry if i don;t suckle hollywood's man teets. i felt like i had to take a few chances because i knew i would not see some of them any other way. oh and Dreamcatcher was fuckin hilariously awful.
wasn't Dreamcatcher an Aaron pick anyway? God what a freakish movie. I love those ones that are so crappy they are great to laugh at...
and yes, i said crud. BTW, I saw the new RobZombie movie trailor...looks like your cup of tea.
