Boogeyman

[StevieNicksEO17]

Just saw this movie tonight...I was freaking out like the whole time! Except the end wasn't that bad... My friends and I went to see Hide and Seek instead but my friend Sarah forgot her ID! Poopoo! So we got stuck seeing Boogeyman... Anyone else see these movies?

I don't do well in scary movies. I'm too nervous and fidgety.

I saw "The Wedding Date" last night; I had low expectations for it, but the movie didn't even reach them. Debra Messing wasn't good at all. But at least Dermot Mulroney is cute.

Tonight, I may finally be seeing "Finding Neverland."

Mulroney is so short, I almost can't believe it.

There is nothing out there that I want to see right now, surprisingly. Everything looks like crap. They're showing Cabaret with Liza down the street, I might go see that later.

Haven't seen any horror movies lately, and I'm not a fan of horror movies, anyways. Although, my fave is Lost Boys, it's not too gory though, except that one part, and I usually fast forward through that. Ew. LOL

I've only seen 3 movies this year....

The Passion of the Christ
The Incredibles
In Good Company

He is on the short side, but I'm 5'2", so it could work. Plus, I love the scar on his lip.

'Tis definitely the slow season for movies. Post-Oscar, pre-summer.

I can't believe you guys don't like scary movies! Oh man I saw The Grudge also and it came out on DVD on Tuesday so I have to buy it! I can't wait for the Ring Two to come out!! Anyone seen the Ring??

Granted, I only saw it because I'm a hardcore Buffy fan and Sarah Michelle Gellar was in it (just like how I only saw Darkness Falls because Emma Caulfield was in it and yes I'm still bitter that Joss had to kill her character).

The Ring, however. Ho****. Freaked me out.

Nothing out right now really looks good, though. :\ My mom always wants to see lame movies, but I always want to see the stuff that looks good. Which is usually why I tend to gravitate toward indie films.

I dug The Grudge. It was incredibly lame and pretentious (they call it "non-linear storytelling" and I call it "showing-off"), but it had some truly chilling moments. That chick with her jaw missing scared the bejesus out of me. The original was better, though, same with The Ring.

Mainstream movies suck these days, moreso than ever.

I hated The Grudge.

Worst. "Scary". Movie.


It wasn't scary a bit. I actually fell asleep during it. It was just lame...nothing else to say about it.

I thought The Ring was pretty putrid, but I'm looking forward to the sequel because Sissy Spacek has a big role in it.

I think The Ring 2 (as in the American version) may be okay as it's directed by Hideo Nakata, who directed Ringu and Ringu 2. (He's also directing the remake of The Entity, which sounds promising).
Oh and I like The Grudge, even though it's exactly the same as the original, although in a way it works better in the Japanese language, but it's always good to see Ted Raimi.

I HATED Ringu 2, but I'm certain Ring 2 will at least have some redeemable qualities if Sissy signed on for it.

She has so many movies coming out this year that I can't keep up!

It doesn't seem like you guys like scary movies too much... A lot of them scare me! In a lot of movies though you can tell when stuff is going to happen, so you prepare yourself for it. But that's okay

I think it was just you.

I called her Dirty Pillows for years.

American audiences are rather stupid, that's why. They need everything spelled out for them, they can't handle any ambiguity or anything that requires thinking.

I was just reading a giant article on how, etc. Asian movies are marketed. American studios buy them, but with only a few exceptions don't market them properly - even movies that have won numerous awards, etc. The times they have marketed them, they have done really well. But i read a few cases in the article that just pointed to very inept studio bumbling - and that's also when they talked about the remakes - studio heads think that they need to be remade/changed to appeal to american audiences. But again, the few Asian films they have marketed have done very well.
Anyways.
