Went to the West Wind Scottsdale Drive - In tonight. 1408 and Fantastic Four 2 were playing. We went well prepared, hit QT for drinks and snacks, then Long John Silvers for greasy fishies. Got there well early, web page said 8:30 start, we were there at 8:00. Got through the line in about five minutes, got our spot. Waited for sunset. Found out they LIE!. 9:00 start. But 1408 was good.Creepy premise, and pretty well executed, but no fear chills. I think it's because they didn't do enough to set up an antagonist as a character. Of course the room is the antagonist, but they didn't do enough to characterize it. Most of the stuff that happens just seems to be stuff that happens to the character not being DONE to him. More of a amusement park ride kinda vibe. Still good overall though. Didn't stay for the second movie. Drea was too hot. The clincher was me finishing my drink in the middle of the credits to 1408. And that was my big 64 OZ Carl's Jr cup. So, it was decided. No Fantasic Four 2. As I didn't care for the first, I can wait for DVD. Drea is certain to buy and/or Netflix is. Oh an there was a trailer for Shoot 'Em Up. I admire it's title for straight forward honesty. Looks like a good, gun blazing action-fest.
