1408 (2007) [PG-13] -- W.I.P. Scale™ Rating: $9.00
Review-lite: Failing to live up to the hype, 1408 takes us down a déjà vu filled road we've been down before starring John Cusack as a paranormal debunking pulp novelist with a sad heart due to the loss of his daughter to some disease. Some unnamed soul guides his to a stay in room 1408 where few guests have lasted more than an hour ending up either dead or checked out. The frustrating derivative, recycled plot takes us nowhere new and ends without much ado. Try to talk yourself out of seeing this film and hope for a sequel, believe it or not, to Identity instead.

Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007) [PG-13] -- W.I.P. Scale™ Rating: $12.00
Review-lite: The Fantastic Foursome is back with a brand new villain known as the Silver Surfer. The Surfer is determined to destroy our planet, and the only ones who stand a chance of stopping him are, of course, Mr. Fantastic, The Invisible Woman, The Thing, and The Human Torch. With outstanding visual effects, the film sets new standards of expectations for films that follow to top these. The one major drawback stems from too much soap opera for nearly a third of the running time was confined to either touch-feely lines or social lives. (click for full details and complete review)
