Black Christmas (2006)
Wow. Are you kidding me??
Wow. Not worth the 7 dollars I paid to watch.
I walked into the theater, and wow! December 26, and nobody there except for me. I sat down and started watching the previews. That's when the people started arriving.
Can you believe that a mother went into the theaters with her (seemed to be) 3 year-old? I thought to myself, "If this kid starts crying in the middle of the movie I have been waiting so long to see, I am going to go crazy." But by the first 25 minutes of the movie, I was the one who was about to cry.
I love most actresses who performed in this movie. But they seemed one of those unknown actresses who are hyper to be acting in a movie exhibited all over the country. They were just plain dumb.
The killers, wow! Glen Morgan tried to create such a fascinating, and disturbing back-story for Agnes and Billy, that made me want to leave the theater at the scene when his mom has sex with him, and nine months later, has a child. Yet, I felt like I had to sit there, and watch the movie sink even more in this clearly-fake-snow crap.
The deaths were incredibly stupid, and the blood looked so fake (as well as the snow, if I haven't mentioned!). He tried to make this remake of a classic into another silly-just-want-money flicks such as Final Destination, which most people love. Yet, there is a slight difference of these two movies. Final Destination is made for people to have a wild laugh at how surprisingly (should I say?) smart situations the writer puts the characters in to DIE. This movie is about two demented killers, psychopaths. Go watch this movie if you want to see most deaths off-screen (Ha?), and girls getting killed by icicles, umbrellas, ice skates, Christmas trees, blah blah...
And what was up with Billy's sudden obsession with the eyes? Jesus! I love scary movies, but this one looked like a comedy without any funny moments, except for the quote "Excuse me, But I love your coat!" at a moment where... ah, I'll let you watch the movie.
The movie is rated R strong horror violence and gore, sexuality, nudity and language. This should be a PG-13 child flick! Go watch the Bob Clark directed classic from 1975. You'll be much better off with that.
The Hitcher (2007)
Better than what I expected.
I went to see "The Hitcher" this past Saturday with an awkward feeling in my stomach. I was never a big fan of the 'old' one, directed by Robert Harmon, and staring Rutger Auer as our 'Hitcher-Psycho'.
The 2007 movie was directed by Dave Meyers {Foolish}, and starred Sean Bean (Lord of the Rings) as John Ryder, Sophia Bush (Stay Alive, John Tucker Must Die) as Grace, and Zachary Kninghton (The Mudge Boy, The Prince & Me) as Jim.
But as I was saying, I was never a big fan of the '86 thriller. I thought it was too... should I say "slow"? And not horrifying enough for me? Remakes have a bad reputation of screwing with the original movie's plot, but since I never really liked the old one, I was up for this one. I knew it would be more violent and bloody. And boy let me tell you, it was.
The movie tells a story of a couple who get tormented by a mysterious hitchhiker named John Ryder. He sure does make their lives a living hell.
The movie had a lot of scenes "pratically-the-same" from the old movie. And although I am sad to inform you, Sean Bean (he did a great job!), but he is just not Rutger Hauer.
The film was rated R for strong bloody violence, terror and language. Go watch this movie if you enjoy a movie that makes you jump once or twice during its whole 80+ minutes, and scenes that you might say to yourself "Omfg, it's so gross, but I can't look away!" such as one of the main characters getting torn apart while he was tied between two trucks, and a very graphic throat-splitting.
Unfortunately (hmm?), I will give this movie 8 starts out of 10, even though I sure enjoyed it (it is worth buying the unrated DVD when it comes out), but it's just I wanted to see more violence (haha!), like most remakes tend to have.
Definitely worth the tickets. =]
