Paranormal Activity 3 was expected to do well, but it became the biggest horror opening of all time this weekend, grossing as much as all other movies in this weekend's top 10 combined. We've seen the first one and passed on the sequel, but from the sound of it, we'll have to catch up so we can check out the latest one. Quite surprising ...
Yesterday we went to Adam's place and watched
Tucker and Dale vs. Evil. It was a good, over-the-top slasher, so it was rather gory, which of course made it funny at the same time. Adam's place has a mini theater in the complex, so reclining seats, Blu-ray, a big screen and surround sound made it extra fun!

Tomorrow we're going to go see
Johnny English Reborn, and while it most likely will not be a box office topper, we're big
Rowan Atkinson fans (
Black Adder, not Mr. Bean) so it should be a good time. Speaking of Black Adder, it seems that after more than a decade since the last iteration (and almost 3 decades since its debut) there is a new installment in the works. Now THAT is a cunning plan!
What's up with those
Batman: Arkham City issues? I can understand that something slips through the cracks, but no less than four snafu's in one package? That's just inexplicable and unforgiving. Good thing I'm waiting for the PC version later this month, maybe they'll have found their head, because it's sure isn't on top of their torso.
