Movies that start off great but go downhill from there

I, like many of you, have watched more movies on DVD than at the movies. So with that in mind here is a list of my top movies that I had to turn off because they were so bad..............but started off great. This will be a post that I will add to as time goes by so you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed at the bottom, so you will be notified when I update it.

Top of the list is The Scorpion King 3: Battle for Redemption.The movie should have been as good as the first 2 in the series but with the addition of the ninja warriors and the elephants, I had to turn it off as being totally unreal or even close to good fantasy writing. I didn't see the end so if aliens from Mars showed up in the last 20 minutes, don't tell me............I am not interested.

Next up is another movie that had some really good reviews and strange as it may sound is in the top 10 rented movies on Blockbuster. That movie is Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.It actually starts out as totally believable. You can remove the historical Lincoln from the fantasy Lincoln in this stage of the movie. For me the point of turning it off was just after the battles in the Civil War were just fought and all the soldiers in the confederate army were vampires. Top that with the reason that they had slaves as unwilling blood donors and you just turned my stomach. Sorry, didn't finish that one, as I thought it was a total injustice to the people who fought and were used in the real Civil War. What the movie should have done was remove the name of Lincoln, remove the vampire soldiers in the Civil War and you would have a decent fantasy movie.

J.K Rowling just can't leave the Potter tales alone

J.K Rowling is at it again. After publicly announcing that she has finished writing about Harry and Hogwarts she is publishing another wizardry book. This one is to raise $8 million dollars for a children's charity. Titled "The Tales of Beedle the Bard", it is a collection of 5 stories narrated by Albus Dumbledore.

In this book she will include her own illustrations. It is scheduled to be released in December 2008. She had mentioned that this book is her goodbye to the Harry potter series. I would just like to know how many times does this woman have to say goodbye? Why doesn't she just admit that she will not stop writing about Harry Potter and his world. No one will blame her for making more money off of a good thing.
