New moon?
16 years ago
General
Went to see it over the weekend. I know it's the second of a series, and I didn't see the first one, but it didn't take me long to figure out the whats and wheres of what was going on. To be honest, after seeing "New Moon" I have absolutely NO INTEREST in seeing the other movies in the series. Aside from about 12 seconds of cool special effects, which I've already seen in the movie trailers, this film was a complete yawnfest. I was totally bored. other than that, I'll hold my toungue so I don't spoil it for those of you who still want to see it.
What is it with movies these days anyway? The last few I have seen:
"Paranormal Activity": Again, 12 seconds of coolness, already seen in the commercials, wrapped up in a film that went fucking NOWHERE. The kept billing this as the scariest movie EVER--- Um, not even close. I was more frightened using the restroom after the show. Great gimmick with the whole"YOU demanded it!" thing.... I wish I could demand a refund.
"Jennifer's Body": Ugh... this movie was SO BAD that I had more fun watching the trains go past at the drive in than watching the screen. I kept praying for the credits after every scene ended. Just a rediculous, bad, bad movie. The gory scenes were awfully executed, the story was totally weak, and I'd really like to know who RATES these movies, because aside from some swearing no worse than youd hear walking through the mall from the local teenie-boppers, there wasn't any reason at all for an "r" rating. There's more nudity on the daytime soaps. I mean, if the movie sucks THAT BAD, at least give me more than a few glances at side-boob for my 8 bucks!
"Zombieland!" Ok, this was a fun movie. Good to see Woody Harrelson really enjoying his role, he can be very entertaining when he's in his element, and he was in this role. The plot wasn't anything too deep, but it didn't need to be. Part of the movies charm was it's "B movie" feel. it worked well, and had me laughing the whole way through. Money well spent on this one.
"The Fourth Kind" Woah...THIS is what I had expected from Paranormal activity and didn't get. Creepy, scary at times, with some surprises that scared you not from shock value, like a loud noise to surprise you, but stuff that made your skin crawl it was so freaky. I won't go into it to spoil it for you, but this was probably the best one I've seen in a long time. Go see it if you can.
well, I'm rambling.
Love to all, RK.
