Speaking of horror franchise movies that gets a straight to DVD release, Curse Of Chucky came out today and from my viewing I found it to be a solid return. Hope the other fans here get to it soon and leave their opinion!
As for the other movie I watched today, I'm surprised myself because I willingly watched Battleship. Promised I'd never watch it but randomly felt like giving it a chance. It wasn't as terrible as I'd assumed before, honestly. For a movie based on a board game it was probably as good as it could've been, but there was still no reason for a movie to be made based on a board game and I think that's a major part of what hurt it. Still, you had to love the obvious use of the Battleship in the end and such. If you're in the mood for some mindless Michael Bay like (I'm shocked to learn he didn't direct it) explosive action, go for it. Also, I'm glad Liam Neeson disappeared half way through the movie for some reason. Really out of place, he's great and all obviously but shouldn't have been in it.
I feel bad for Taylor Kitsch, his acting career simply seems to be cursed. Wolverine: Origins, Battleship, John Carter... he's just not meant for movies I guess. I thought he was great when it came to the comedy aspects of Battleship though, those really held the movie together for the moments they went that way (such as the excellent opening), maybe he should try a comedy? Surely he could have his own TV series? I just want the dude to have some success.
