We watched this movie last night courtesy of Blockbuster. I thought it was a pretty good film, if you like character studies. Brian, on the other hand, didn’t like it at first, but after thinking about it all day, decided it was a decent movie.
Jennifer Aniston starred, and this was definitely her best movie role to date. As it turns out, she really can act. Who knew?

Brian’s boss is always lending him movies. They guy has eclectic tastes, to say the least. Because I’m too lazy to summarize the plot, here’s an excerpt from the back of the DVD, “When mysterious deaths plague the Shady Rest retirement home, it’s up to an aging, cantankerous “Elvis” and a decrepit–and black–“JFK” to defeat a 3,000-year-old Egyptian mummy with a penchant for sucking human souls!”
Need I say more? Brian actually liked the movie. In case you haven’t figured it out, I did not. I will say that it was better than An American Haunting, though.
