Bad Movie Alert

It was one of those occasions, when the limits of time made it such that only a few movies were avaiable for our selection.

You know that feeling, when you gotta pick between Possibly Bad Movie A and Possibly Bad Movie B, and all the logic in your head have lined up to form a little protest line with picket signs saying "GO HOME!!! NOooooo!!!!" but you still do it anyway because there's that little glimmer of hope that you might discover a good movie which people avoid because of a bad title...

Ya that feeling lor.

Anyway, lesson learnt tonight:

1. Nothing good to watch, don't watch.
2. Shall not watch anymore movies with:
a. prehistoric animals
b. bats
c. giant bats
d. prehistoric giant bats
e. time travel


Actually, i'd steer clear from anything involving humans being chased by animals. The last good movie with that theme was Jurassic Park, and i think it kinda spoilt the dinosaur-movie market.

But well, A Sound of Thunder, other than having yummy Edward Burns (who did not manage to save the show), had terrible blue screen action (the Daytona crash stimulation in the arcade was better than the computer animated car crash I saw), terrible acting of fellow constipated actors, terrible lines, terrible directing.. terrible everything.


But!

It does make me want to read the short story it was based on. Sounds like it'd make much more sense on paper than on film.
