"Vacancy" & "4:Rise of the Silver Surfer"

We saw both these movies, "Vacancy" & "4: Rise of the Silver Surfer" this week. All I have to say is that both movies sucked...bad, especially "4:Rise of the Silver Surfer"

"Vacancy" is a thriller/slasher/horror movie starring Luke Wilson (I do think he's cute *wink*) and Kate Beckinsale. Though I consider both of them good actors, this movie just doesn't do it for me. They played a couple whose car broke down in the middle of nowhere (haven't this been done so many times before?) and had to spend the night in the only motel available. While watching movies in their room, they realized that the movies shown was actually taped in the room they were occupying. The normal thriller/slasher stuff ensued after that and then blah, blah, blah and more blah....

"4:Rise of the Silver Surfer" is the sequeal to the "Fantastic 4" movie starring Ioan Gruffudd (Mr Fantastic), Jessica Alba (Invisible Girl), Chris Evans (Human Torch) & Michael Chiklis (The Thing). Though I wasn't too impressed with the original movie, this sequal is even worst. It looked like the producers/writers threw in a few lines (stupid lines, that is) just so that they can have a sequel. Yes, there were a few cool special effects in it but that doesn't mean anything if there is no plotline and the acting was so bad. Neither of the actors, Julian McMahon (Dr Doom) & Doug Jones (Silver Surfer) included, were very interesting.

I definitely would not recommend either of these movies....
