Don’t hold a Grudge

Most reviewers said the scariest part of “The Grudge 2″ was that they made a sequel — but since it opened at Number 1 (taking in $22 million over the weekend) we get to poo-poo those who called it �?a pile of No. 2.�?

Hey, boring “poo poo�? is the new pretty.

Brown stains aside, I thought it had a few good moments, but a large part of the film was very slow paced. It gave us too much time to wonder about our miserable lives.

The fun part — for the people that went with me– was wondering how much they paid Sarah Michelle Gellar; who returns only for a short cameo, to introduce us to a new heroine. I place my bet at around 10 mil (that’s about one million a minute).

There were girls in “skimpy outfits,�? and Jennifer Beals shines as “a stepmom-turned-psycho-killer�? — um, we hear the bad spirits made her do it.
The problem here is the new Grudge doesn’t go anywhere, its a replay on a theme rather than the continuation of a story. — and put at least one of us to sleep.
