Young Adults. What a crappy movie. I thought it would be funny but no it pretty much sucked.

Is this the one with Charlize Theron? That's what my sister said; she said it was a lot more depressing than she anticipated, despite what the ads made it out to be.

Yeah that's the one. Didn't make a lot of sense. I'm not sure why it was labeled a comedy.


Do you really care where I sent this from?

I enjoyed Young Adult the second time around.


Anyways I saw this, and well stay away from it. It's bad

Audition

I thought this was heralded to be one of the more disgusting/disturbing films of all time? I'd say it missed that mark by a long shot, but that's okay anyway. The mere idea that I went into the film having that preconceived notion just shows how ****ed up I am all the same.

But no, seriously... aside from maybe two squeamish moments (perhaps three, but I almost consider two of them to be one the same), the gore substance is pretty much left off screen. It's not even an ultra disturbing film in general, and in fact it actually has a pretty nice developing story. The last half hour almost seemed to tail off for me, but once it finished I gave a good ten minutes of thinking about it, and I realized that the last part gives the rest of the film a lot of layers to work with. It has depth that's worth discussing with other people who care enough to share their opinion about what this movie was really about.

On the top layer, it's a bit of a downer. Once you dig deep into it (and should one ever re-watch it afterward), I'm sure there will be a lot more to enjoy about the main character arc. But a disgusting film? I wouldn't really put it up there with the worst of them.

Safe House.

Meh. Very average movie. You could see the plot twists coming a mile away. The editing and camera work also left something to be desired.

Agreed completely. Denzel is just amazing to watch as an actor, but everything else was average at best. Denzel's just so great though lol. Probably my favorite actor.

Yeah it's not really a comedy although I found it to be somewhat funny. I thought Charlize Theron and Patton Oswalt did great, and I loved the ending. I enjoyed the movie.

I agree about Safe House, though I thought Ryan Reynolds did pretty good playing in a non-comedy role. Still an average movie but not a complete waste because of Reynolds and Denzel. The ending was bad.

Shutter (2004)

Asian horror films are just naturally creepy, there's no way around it. Take the exact same film, put in American actors and the English language, and it just wouldn't be as creepy. It doesn't help that Hollywood tries to do more than they should, and muck it up anyway... which lends me to believe that the U.S. 2008 remake was a tanker. So, I watched this one as a middle of the night viewing. Probably not the best thing to do before going to bed.

Not that it was the scariest film that I've ever seen, but because it taps on the idea of being alone and never feeling safe (even in your dreams) would start to make you feel vulnerable during this time. Plus, it is about spirits being seen in photographs. Why can't that freak someone out?

It was an okay film, kept me awake and on the edge. There were some good startle scenes, and some small things here and there that reminded me of 1408, of all films. I'm on a bit of a horror film binge on Netflix, so if anybody wants to advise any others (especially foreign ones), throw them out there.

Re: What movies have you seen recently?

So my girlfriend is coming to visit in a couple weeks, and we're planning to watch Butterfly Effect, but we also want to find a super scary movie to watch.

I mean a movie that seriously scares the **** out of you. Any ideas?

I've heard Insidious and Frozen are pretty scary. Haven't seen them, but my dad said he saw them and they were pretty freaky.

I saw both. Insidious was admittedly creepy until the final third of the film. They take you out of their own element and make things too expository for the worse. Frozen isn't a scary movie in terms of jump scares, but it's scary in its own right. Stuck on a stopped chairlift on a snowy mountain? Yeah, think about that one overnight. Neither film is bad in my eyes, so I would recommend them.

Not too many films "scare the ****" out of me, so I don't really know what to recommend in this case. I will always defer to The Ring, and maybe Paranormal Activity if you still haven't seen it. Everyone gets scared in different ways.

Glad to hear Frozen is a good film. I've been contemplating whether or not to buy it on Blu-ray. Target has it for $9.99.

I liked Frozen, but I've had other people tell me it was one of the dumbest movies they've ever see ...and I can see where they're coming from.

I still enjoyed it though.
