Alright, time for an update;

The Pacifier. I believe it's a new Disney film...with Vin Diesel in it. Yeah.

Dude, no, that looks funny. Seriously. There were some funny jokes in the preview. "Elf ambush." Hehe. I'm going to see it.

Trainwrecks should be limited to complete trash, like Son of the Mask and Sky Captain.

Ok, I'm also a closet Vin Diesel fan. Sue me. Heh.-jay

Okay, from the previews of SoM, the dog in the family got most of the attention, but a baby came along, dog finds an ancient mask, and he comes up with a plan to kill the baby or something.
Crap.

Yeah, the Pacifier looks funny. That doesn't belong in the topic. (( IMO ))

^But then from the other preview of SoM, it's about the baby somehow having all of the Mask powers and the parents finding out/dealing.
But then from the other other preview, it's about Alan Cumming dressed up as a Norse jester trying to get the Mask back from the dog/dude/baby.

Which all adds up to one question: Why did they greenlight a Mask sequel 11 years later without any of the original cast or characters except Ben Stein?

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Some things I don't get...

The baby does'nt need the mask to use it's powers... how did that possible?

Second, the dog has the mask on during the day in one scene... the mask IS'NT SUPPOSED TO WORK DURING THE DAY!!

^^My question can also be interpreted as "What movie exec would think that such a sequel could possibly make money?"

Diesel played in some good movies like Saving Private Ryan and Boiler Room. He's not a really good actor, though...

Apparently (from what I've read in a review on AICN) that baby gets the Mask powers because he apparently was concieved while Jamie Kennedy was wearing the Mask (I don't even want to imagine that)

Ah, if only Mystery Science Theater 3000 was still around... We've got plenty of movies that are just begging for it...

^^That's sorta what I figured, but all the previews make it look like Kennedy's character had never seen the Mask before his dog got it, which didn't happen until after the baby was born.
This serves to support my 3rd theory of idiocy:

If I'm saying it, it must be true. Add "Boogeyman" to this list.

I call this movie a wasted opportunity. The openning "scare" started out alright (seeing a robe getting up and start moving when the lights went out) but then turned really corny (father getting sucked into closet -- many times). Other scares were far and few between. Then just when it looked looked like the movie was picking up, it went into a noisy CGI-filled finale, in which has so many fast cuts it would make your head spin.

It looks like Sam Raimi's Ghost House Pictures is now 1-1 (or 0-2 if you didn't like The Grudge)

I'd like to know how TBS made Incivincible look good.

Anyone here mention the Haunting? High quality ****, right there. 2 friends and I saw it as the only people in the theatre. I climbed up the back of my seat, and made shadow puppets on the screen. We only went in because the flick we wanted to see was rated R, and Cinemark are a bunch of nazi bastards when it comes to id.

^ Though The Haunting is my least favourite of the many haunted house movies I've seen, it's not all that bad a movie.

^ No, Constantine is far from terrible.

Freddy Got Fingered is terrible.

Rollerball is terrble.

Gigli is terrible.

Constantine is a popcorn flick for entertaintment value (which I quite enjoyed)

Edit: This is why I don't like movie reviews. A good movie to someone is hated by someone else. There is no such think as a good or bad movie. It's just a matter of opinion.
