Drag me to Hell

Drag me to Hell was OK.  I'm not really a huge Sam Raimi fan, although I did enjoy the first of The Evil Dead.  The ending for Drag me to Hell was kind of...bleak.  I kind of thought angry gypsy lady was like, awful.  YOU WON'T GIVE ME A FREE PASS WELL DIE...!  Uh, what?

Also, am I weird for thinking Justin Long is kinda hot?

Saw

About a hundred years too late, I watched the first Saw.  I'm not planning on watching any more of them...I can't believe they made seven (? or however many) of these movies.  I did see the original short in a film class a few years ago.

Saw is clearly a meticulously thought out film/story.  I think it could've been a better film if the entire thing were set in the room....don't get me wrong, it was kinda cool that Danny Glover was in it, but it would be a better psychological thriller without all the outside stuff.

I do kind of think the whole serial killer draped in a velvet cape thing is ridiculous, though.  I mean, no, not even kind of, it just is.  So are props like above ^ Why would a serial killer bother with goofy props like that?  To be fair, I am not one of those people who thinks clowns are scary.

I mean, serial killers are passe...not artsy.  Any real cops probably would've caught this guy so quickly anyway.  I.e. canvassing hospitals after he got shot for people admitted with gunshot wounds.  Duh, I'm just somebody who's seen too many cop shows and I know that.  And any number of other mistakes the cops in the movie made that real cops wouldn't have overlooked.

The whole "this guy has cancer so he's full of rage, and he hates people who do shitty things in life" thing is weird......I say they should bring saw back for an 8th (9th? 10th? which is it?) movie in which a SUPER serial killer takes the serial killer from this movie and puts him in the ULTIMATE GAME.

I Walked with a Zombie

Tonight I went down to The Stanford Theatre ♥ to see I Walked with a Zombie. There are some old cheesy horrors on the upcoming program and a double feature would make a great date for any movie buff couples!

Anyway, I Walked with a Zombie is a different kind of zombie movie....it's a sensitive, romantic zombie movie.  A rom-zom if you will.  It was alright...the face of the guy above ^ was pretty crazy...I can't believe I was the only person i the theater who lol'd

Teeth

I really liked Teeth.  I thought it was well done.  I love girl power fantasy type movies like this.  The mis en scene  and foreshadowing were good.  The kid from Nip/Tuck was in it too.  I used to watch that.  The skinhead look really matches his face.
