Ha! Debating whether to watch GODSEND tonight despite the atrocious movie reviews it received:
+ Roger Ebert: "...a bad thriller, completely lacking in psychological or emotional truth."
+ Boston Globe: "Godsend makes swill of religion, science, family, and morality. It has the sensitivity of a cactus, the ingenuity of a square wheel, and the integrity of a CEO."
+ Rolling Stone: "Every scare is telegraphed. Every surprise is recycled from a better thriller."
+ and if USA Today hates it, this movie must be REALLY bad: "...a poor man's Shining, with some lame Sixth Sense and Omen elements thrown in."
+ finally, a random Yahoo movie reviewer wrote: "Godsaid...don't waste your money. It wasn't the worst movie I've ever seen but it was right up there with the best of them. You know a "scary" movie is bad when you fall asleep during it. The movie started out BAD and just kept getting worse. I almost walked out(some people did), but I kept thinking, "the GOOD part is coming any minute". The "GOOD" part never came. The acting in the movie wasn't all bad....but my only question is what would possess these fine actors to make such a terrible movie? Don't waste your time or money....this isn't even a good renter!"
Question-of-the-day:
Should I spend money on this gloriously shitastically fucktacular movie?

Well, actually, I can't remember the last time I heard it. But it made me smile.
