John Adams ****

I watched the first installment last night of the HBO series, 'John Adams'. It's very well done.

I think this sort of historic biopic is important for us as Americans to remember exactly what I forefathers went through in creating this country. We always hear how we should be grateful, but it puts a whole different perspective on things when you're living it with them.

The series is very well done, and I'm really enjoying it so far. I'll let you know how the rest of it goes.

Drag Me To Hell **1/2

'Drag Me to Hell' is a horror movie as you may have guessed. Have I mentioned how incredibly stupid I think horror movies are??? First, they're just stupid. I ruin it for whoever may be watching with me through my roars of laughter. Second, they are usually perpetuating the whole demon-possession theme which I think is absurd to give that crap more power. (If you think you ever have this problem, get help.) And third, what's with the whole embracing fear thing?? They like to be scared... I don't get it. And I don't get scared. I laugh?? I got scared the other day when the concrete truck in front of me had a blow out. I got scared when the TV almost fell on me, with the DVD player cord strangling me. I don't even get remotely scared watching these movies. Sure, there's the shock factor when something jumps out at you. But it's just shock for me.

So, I guess as a horror movie it was probably ok. I only gave it the 1/2 because I think Justin Long is great. Gotta' love the Mac guy!

As for the kids, it's your call. Typical horror movie. Not really any nudity or sex, but plenty of fear and creepiness.

How to be a Serial Killer **1/2

'How to be a Serial Killer' is listed as a 'dark comedy' on Netflix. That was kind of stretch for me. The basis of the movie is a guy who is instructing people at a seminar on serial killing. This is done mainly through a retelling of events as he instructs the video store clerk, who becomes his 'apprentice'.

The comedy here is weak. I didn't get any good laughs. It's just disturbing.
I liked the end, at least.

'How to be a Serial Killer' really isn't appropriate or entertaining for anyone, in my opinion.
And I thought video games and horror movies made killing seem commonplace!?
