Worst movie I have seen in awhile...

Rating: 2/10 (22 January 2008)

Not only was I able to predict the end of the film after 10 minutes, but I kept wanting to pinch myself to see if I was really in the movie theater, much like John Cusack kept wondering if he was really in the hotel room. I am a huge film buff and love all types of movies, including horror films. Perhaps what has tainted my judgement is the fact that within the past week I saw 2 works of art : "The lives of others" and "La Vie en Rose." Compared to "real" films, 1408 is completely pathetic despite acting efforts by two normally great actors, John Cusack and Samuel L. Jackson. Normally I write reviews only of movies I enjoy, but this time I felt compelled to warn people that this film is completely predictable and sometimes pathetic. Obviously this is my own personal opinion and I respect people who enjoyed this film. Just throwing that out there so that I don't get attacked!
