Movie Reviews

As promised, i shall review the last 2 movies i went to go see in theatres!

i heart huckabees:
with an all around amazing cast, including 2 hotties jude law and the hunky mark wallberg (sp?), along with naomi watts, there was much eye candy. the movie was slightly slow paced, but all around funny, not hilarious, but more like dark comedy. i wanted to watch something that would stimulate my mind slightly more than all of the chick flicks i have been watching lately, and this did the trick. i luved it. on a different note, shauny fell asleep for a bit in the beginning, found it kinda weird, but kinda liked it too.
i give it 2 thumbs up.

the grudge:
since this movie was made by the same director of the ring, i was expecting something a bit more scary. somehow, when the entire audience is laughing at some scenes that obviously are not supposed to be funny, that tells me that the movie isn't that scary. i just found some parts to be boring. yes, the constant clicking noise this "monster" makes is slightly annoying/freaky, but its now just another noise that shaun can use to scare me and other ppl!

although there are parts that are suspensful and somthing pops out and scares you, there are also parts that try to play with your mind and freak you out, but neither is done really well. shaun will tell you i was scared however, since his hand really hurt from all the squeezing it had to endure. the only thing this movie has going for it is the element of foreignness. since it is made in japan, it seems slightly more creepy. another factor that makes me feel better about why some things just totally didn't make sense is the fact that there is supposed to be a sequel AND a prequel, which would help to explain alot i think. I would probably go see the others, just to understand it.
1 thumb up i guess.
