Movies to Watch and Not To

We watched four movies yesterday. It was a 50/50 weekend. Half of them were really good and half were not.

First with the not so good (I always like to get the bad out of the way first).

I picked up a movie titled Thicker Than Water for 5.00 at Wal-mart. Now the reason I chose that movie was because Lindsey Wagner (Bionic Woman) and Melissa Gilbert (Laura on Little House on the Prairie) were in it. I have always admired both of these actresses. And when I was a child and the only Melissa I knew, Melissa Gilbert and Melissa Sue Anderson were my favorites...but I digress. This movie had a poorly written story. It went all over the place, was predictable and not all that captivating. All the good actors and actresses in the world could have made this a good movie. But it was at least tolerable to watch.

Knock Knock...a slasher movie picked up by Daniel, was horrible. Not only were the slasher scenes horrific (me with eyes closed or averted), the story was a dumb rip off of Nightmare on Elm Street. The characters were cardboard cut-outs who couldn't have delivered a compelling line if a gun had been held to their head. I wanted to take the disk out and break it up into little bitty pieces and send it back to the producer of this horrible movie, but Daniel said we had to keep it as a reminder of what makes a bad movie bad.

Now onto the much better movies....
