Pass the Popcorn: Knowing

Nick Cage discovers a code that reveals all the major tragedies in the last 50 years in Knowing. But does it also reveal the end of the world? That's what I was trying to find out.

From the first trailer to the DVD release, I never really wanted to see this movie, especially after it got bombed by some critics. But Donnie said give it a try, and who am I to turn down a suggestion.

As much as I didn't want to like Knowing, I couldn't help but be captivated the whole way through. It wasn't the best movie I've ever seen, but it was much more suspenseful that I had expected. I'm also not sure I loved where the eventual plot went, but I didn't mind the ride either. Overall, Knowing wasn't the perfect movie, but it's perfectly suitable for 2 hours of entertainment on a Saturday night while the kids were sleeping and I was waiting for my wife to get home from work. The bottle of wine didn't hurt the cause either.
