How one Movie Preview Can Ruin a Whole Weekend (dum dum dum)
so last weekend, we made plans to go see the strangers. the movie is about three masked strangers that invade a couple's house. at first they just mess with them, but then it turns violent. you can guess the ending.
so we make plans to go see the movie friday night, the first night it's out. the parking lot is more packed than i've ever seen. every girl in the world was there to see sex and the city. we get there late, and the movie is sold out. i was very upset. there were no other showtimes that worked, so my night was ruined. saturday comes along and we get tickets through fandango. preparation is key.
i won't dance around my point anymore. the movie was terrible. even the 15 year olds in the front of the theatre were laughing. it was 1% scary. pretty much though, it was really stupid, boring, untalented, any other negative adjectives apply here. you always waited for something to happen but it never did.
for most of the movie, they used the same camera angle. they used a hand-held view, kind of like you're viewing the movie through your eyes (i hope that made sense). there was no way that it should have been rated R. there was a little blood near the end, but it was in an old horror movie fashion. you could just tell it was fake, and you just sat there shaking your head. i think the reason why it was R was because of the idea. this could actually happen (not trying to make you scared). but yeah, it's just a very believable plot.
liv tyler did a good job. she was very believable. that, plus one line from the movie, were the only positives. liv tyler asks the strangers why are they doing this. one of them answers, "because you were home." that is such a mind-fuck answer. it shows how crazy those people were. they just pick a house out of a hat.
both of my nights were devoted to this movie. it was a big let down. =(
that is all. congrats to obama.
i thought this was pretty funny
