Bad Friday Movie Night: I "Knowing" went!


It's Friday Night and we had just left our grandson, Avery's, T-ball game.  If you have not gone to one you are missing a treat.  What other game can the batter hit the ball, all the adults shout run, and the little girl playing third base runs in and touches home plate!  Where else when the ball is hit between first and second base, the fielders fall in a pile and wrestle for the ball.  But I digress. After the game we realize that we have time to make it to our Friday Night movie.  we check times and movies and realize we have seen all the good movies.  Never stopped us before!  Let's see, we have  Seth Rogen, Mall Cop (Observe and Report), Hannah Montana, or Fast and Furious 3 with tag line New Cars, Original Parts.   Mall Cop sounded gross even though the previews minus the crude stuff was funny.  Ms. Montana (We saw Miley in Vegas!).  Fast and Furious (stupid movie, cool cars).  Okay, so the cars won.  We head to the Cinemark only to find it Sold Out!   I look up on the board and see that "Knowing" is playing and about to start.  I did not want to see it when it came out. But there is popcorn and the weird Nicholas Cage who gets worked up about National Treasures  and the end of the world.  This movie was every bit as believable as watching Vin Diesel makes cars fly and stuff.   It to spoil the ending for you but it was suspenseful until about 2/3 through it and the writers said, "How do we end this thing?" 
Somebody else says, "Remember ET.  A spaceship can come at the end, but for fun lets burn up the earth."  I found some of the disaster scenes detestable, showing a graphic airline crash and other too graphic scenes.  I would say that it is not worth renting.  *star.   

The couple next to us got up and left (after an hour!).  I would have left too, but I still had Milk Duds!

The world comes to and end at 7:35 pm and again at 9:30!  This was close to Scientology!
