I watched "The Ring" last night. I was really expecting something better. The first fifteen minutes were the best of the whole movie. Other than this, the movie wasn't scary at all. It was boring. It was as if I'd seen the characters in other movies before. I mean, you had the career driven mom that never spent any time with her kid, and the kid who looked like a Culkin relative and called his mom by her first name. Then she goes to all this trouble to research the danged tape, and finds out that she was safe anyway just because she had made a copy of it. How the hell did this tape get made in the first place? And who makes a tape? Make a DVD! Tapes are so 80's.

Should I be worried that someone gave me this movie?

And if you're wondering if I viewed the actual cursed movie on the DVD's special features....I did not. And I've never said "Candyman" in front of a mirror five times either!
