John Dies in the End

— I watched the weirdest movie of the weekend – “John Dies in the End” (DVD) – and I’m still not sure if it was worth seeing or not, but it was an unusual mix of genres. Kind of “Buffy”, “MIB”, and “Ghostbusters” meet in parallel universes directed by a young Quentin Tarantino with an eye toward becoming an instant cult classic, and originally written with Cheech and Chong in mind for the lead roles. Just very weird. (I also saw Michael Bay’s “Pain and Gain” and it was mostly pain and not worth anyone’s time unless they just want to test their tolerance and endurance.)
