1408

Point I Fell Asleep: 0:52 out of 1:52 (46%)
Location: Home
Time I Started Movie: 8PMish
IMDB: http://imdb.com/title/tt0450385/

First of all, let me say that I'm not a fan of horror movies. But how scary can a movie with John Cusack and Sam Jackson be (remember "Snakes on a Plane")? I've been a fan of John for a while ("Grosse Pointe Blank" and "Identity"), but he's been making some duds lately ("The Contract" and "Martian Child".) As for Sam, his reputation in "Pulp Fiction" has taken him far enough. I'm getting tired of being disappointed with all his movies like "Snakes on a Plane", "The Man," "Basic," etc. Anyway, the movie started off strong. I actually thought I'd make it through the entire movie, but sure enough, zzzzzzzzz. The movie was about a haunted house writer who visits this haunted hotel room #1408 and that's when the $hit hits the fan. It was such a crazy twisted movie that I'm still in shock of how bad it was. Maybe it's because I miss the symbolism and allusion. Either way, I didn't enjoy it at all.
