I loved seeing the preview for this in the theaters during a movie that was in a genre that had me thinking the folks who decided to preview a horror movie during it must have been high, lol.

It was a blast watching my wife pop out of her seat. She even did it again at another film when the same preview aired, despite knowing what was coming with that second stupid nun from off-camera.

Dumb movie looks soooooo dumb.

I saw a promo poster than had the last N in Nun backwards like the NIN logo. They should have stuck with that! Maybe Reznor threatened to sue.

Went to see Peppermint with the SO. I remember looking over at her and saying "So, this is basically The Punisher, but a with woman instead." Regardless of it being derivative, we both enjoyed it. I'm always down for some revenge killing flicks.

TL;DR: Peppermint? More like Punishmint, amirite?

Over the weekend I watched The Nun and Searching.The Nun was fine, it had some cool moments and effects, but Searching was amazing. Like so good I will buy it when it comes out digitally.
