Two weekends ago we went to see The Ring. When it first came out I thought the previews looked good. My friend Daniel also recommended it, seeing he's a picky bastard like me and he and I share the same taste with other things I figured The Ring would be worth seeing on the big screen. Before moving down here to Houston I rarely saw movies at full price. Most of the time I wouldn't get to see movies at all, there are a bunch I never got to see from last year. We would almost never see movies at full price, when Lon and I (or Matt and I, or whoever and I...) went to the movies it was to the dollar theatre. The theatre played second-run movies and sometimes we'd miss movies because they wouldn't go to the second run or they would get there earlier than most movies do. Anyway I'm used to paying fifty cents to a dollar fifty for a movie, and it was fine that way. Since I've been here we've seen 8 Mile and Jackass (same night, snuck into Jackass right as it was starting, great timing) Harry Potter and The Ring.

The Ring was good, but could have been so much better. There were too many plot holes and things left unexplained. Plus some things coulda have been left out while others were expanded. I think every scary movie needs to go through me first, I know terror....

The movie had decent effects and a great concept but fell short of its potential. I'm not saying it wasnt scary, it's just hard to be afraid of someone you can relate to.

Always remember to quit while you're ahead.
