the abandoned,
it is one of the '8 films to die for".
it sucked @ss. the plot was nonexistant. seriously, had to stop drinking because i thought i was getting too drunk to understand, but it wasn't that. even after i stopped, the plot just continued to uravel.
and i still don't know what that stupid movie was about. i asked hubby -but he had no clue, and he wasn't even drinking.
he said he thought maybe he should have started, tho...
the good ones ("films to die for" ) so far are..
unrest
penny dreadful (was ok- lots better than 'cujo'. ;)
gravedancers
hamiltons (my fave-so far)
wicked little things
dark ride
I don't want to see reincarnation. i don't care for the director.
and i'm dyingDying to get my hands on the Snoop Dogg one, but i haven't seen it out yet.

I have two right off the top of my head.
1) "Scary Movie". I knew ahead of time that it would be a parody of recent horror films, and that wasn't really going to get me to see it. Then a local movie reviewer gave it positive remarks that was over and above the jokes that the adverts showed, so I decided to give it a go.
That was a waste of time. It turned out that the humour was rather infantile and pedestrian. While I can take a fair amount of foul language, this movie seemed to be uttering it just because it could. I'll admit that the ending was rather interesting, but I was glad to leave the theatre.
2) "Children of Men". This movie was based on a P.D. James book from the 1990's where for some unknown reason people couldn't have children anymore. The book went into a great level of detail of how society (British in particular) might evolve in 25 years after the last child is born. I recall reading it with fondness, so when they were making the film, I knew that I wanted to see it.
Boy was I disappointed. True, roughly the same setting is created, but instead of focusing on the infertility issue, the movie goes off on a wild tangent about illegal immigration, which was something that Britain was fighting with extreme prejudice. Gee, I would think that if your population is declining that immigrants would be welcome. Also, the movie seemed to be a commentary on the nature of war in general, which on its own is fine. However, this was not the film to do this in. (Hypothetical quote: "We can't have children anymore. Let's kill everybody!")

It's not a new movie, but I wanted so much to watch "Saw". I heard people telling me that it was so scary and that many people had to leave the movies before the film ended, and things like that. When I finally watched it, it wasn't scary at all. I love horror movies, but I'm having troubles finding good ones lately.

"Rising Sun". The book was way better than the movie! I thought how can Sean Connery and Wesley Snipes go wrong? I think it was all in the adaptation from a book to a film. Isn't that sometimes the case?
"Collateral" was another one. Sorry, but I fell asleep in this one! Can you imagine with all that gunfire?! I guess I didn't have insomnia that night!

Yeah, Star Wars, the Phantom Menace. What the heck was George Lukas thinking?! I mean really, Jar-Jar Binks?!!! That was the lamest character I've ever seen.
