The International (2009)
No who done it...
My girlfriend loves..."who done it's". Whenever she sees a trailer that remotely looks like a "who done it" she is "so there" BUT this is no..."who done it" We both went expecting to find mystery and intrigue. I know the trailer has him killing the banker...but I expected them to flip the switch on that and have a bigger picture. BUT NO! not at all. the whole time you know exactly what is going down and we are just supposed to cheer for clive and naomi...and hate the big bad bankers who we know are doing all this bad stuff. Now..maybe if I was expecting that I would have liked the movie more, but I was not...so I was quite bored. My girlfriend was yawning and we had to have a drink after.
Re-Animator (1985)
Loved it, I laughed and my girlfriend was scared.
I found it so funny, my girlfriend is in the medical field and sees freaky stuff all the time. I couldn't take what she sees. Blood, guts, goo, phlegm, all of it. BUT when it comes to "scary" films she cannot do it. I told her this one is gory, but funny. We sat down, watched it and I am lucky I still have a girlfriend. Funny enough I saw the film back in 85 when I was kid and did think it was totally gross, but now much of it looks very cheesy to me. Not all of it, some of it is downright disgusting, but much of it. I was entertained on such a different level, since I am now "a mature" man it was a good experience, but I had to kiss a lot of butt that night. I recommend this film to anyone who is not looking for a "serious" horror film, likes gore, corny, but fitting acting and wants to have a good time.
Dimples (2008)
Good if you do not want to be spoon-fed
I heard about this flick through a friend and grabbed it the other night. Watched it with a friend and he thought it was alright, but I liked it,especially for a low budget horror film. I thought the acting was not spectacular, but I have seen plenty worse. It definitely was not bad. There was some very funny dialogue, some good jump scares, some alright gore (low budget)and a cool/different story. I thought anyway. There is a psychology here that I liked quite a bit. It also was shot well. The twist through me for a loop and I didn't seeing it coming. I think this was a good effort. I recommend it, especially if you don't like to be spoon fed and want something a bit different to watch.
