Vantage Point & The Bank Job

Has anyone seen either of these two movies? I rented both for the weekend. The reviews on IMDB seem to pretty decent at least. I very rarely rent movies but was in the mood to watch a couple tonight.

Vantage Point was entertaining. A little bit of a reach in terms of plot but still engaging. Haven't seen Bank Job yet.

Bank Job - not bad, but Vantage Point was kind of stupid.

Both could have been better, but neither was bad. Bank Job had some good moments.

I just got done watching The Bank Job and thought it was a good movie overall. I rented it on Blu ray and could see myself purchasing it.

The highlight of the night is that I went and purchased a new sub before I watched the movie. I ended up with a Velodyne DD-12 with a black lacquer finish. And boy oh boy does this sub sound freakin' amazing. I wasn't intending on spending that much on a sub, but you get what you pay for when it comes to audio and I certainly don't regret the purchase.

I watched Vantage Point tonight and thought it was pretty entertaining and it held my interest throughout the movie. Not sure I would buy it, but it was worth the watch nonetheless.

I liked Vantage Point, but tired of the "rewind" perspective they used to tell the tale.. I thought it was a great story, but thought it could have been told better.

Rent, Buy.. NETFLIX!! I don't understand why so many people spend thousands of dollars on DVDs, how many times will you actually watch that movie. 2 maybe 3 times in 5-10 years. I LOVE movies but there are only about two dozen I would ever considering owning.

Some people collect. It trips me out when I go to someone's house and they have like 2 DVDs in their collection.
