Night Shift: "Now there's 90 minutes I'm never getting back."

Hi, all. Sorry that it has been so long. I have been totally out of reading mode for the past week for so. I took some vacation time last week, and ended up getting totally sucked in to playing "Legend of Zelda" games on my Wii. Another one of my guilty pleasures, I must say. Another reason that I am taking it slow, is because I think that Santa might be bringing me a Kindle for Christmas, and I don't want to start the next novel, The Stand, until I have that. So, I've been reading slower, and in the meantime I have started to rent some of the movies in this collection.

Let's dish about the first movie. A complete atrocity: Graveyard Shift.

Wow. Now there's 90 minutes that I'm never getting back. This movie took everything that was totally creepy about the story, and screwed it up. I mean seriously, that was the most well lit basement that I have ever seen. I don't even think they were using flashlights half the time. And in these kinds of movies, why oh why does there always have to be some "king monster". I liked it so much more when it was just a whole bunch of crazy rats attacking people, and not one big ugly monster. And of course there had to be some stupid, inconsequential love story in the middle of it all. Ick.

All in all, a completely forgettable interpretation, but then again, I really wasn't expecting much more.
