	PromNight2008 3:06pm, June 25, 2008 PROFILE - MESSAGE - REPORT I hated The Mist. Bad CGI ruined the entire thing. Also, I really need to see Sweeney Todd, but I always have second thoughts whenever I come close to renting it for some reason.
	darkdescent 4:35pm, June 25, 2008 PROFILE - MESSAGE - REPORT The only nice thing i can say about Sweeney Todd is that it has nice cinematography, everything else about it was bad. Even the always reliable Depp couldn't save it.
