Nothing I'd watch again. Once was enough. I guess it doesn't live up to my standards ( Dont ask what they are cuz I dont know ) Just some movies I dislike, whether if its almost similar to another movie that I loved. Weird I know.
I wrote a review, I think. I thought it would be better. But then again, some people have a thing for Tom Cruise. LOL

Excellent, Ethan Hawk had a very good performance. It was a surprise to see Adrianna from Sopranos in there, she also did a pretty good job. Lots of twists and turns. Suspense most of the time. Lots of gun shooting, people dying. I liked it.
Hide and Seek- well if you liked secret window you would like this movie. It wasn't that eventful, a little boring. It wasn't really that scary, it made me jump one or two times. The only time I was actually entertained is after the "Twist".
The little girl did an excellent job, like always. The little girl Im referring to is the girl that played in man on fire and jersey girl. She is a very talented actress.
FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS: It's all about high school football, but I loved it! Great realistic action and a good story. Best watched with the surround sound turned up!!
THE VILLAGE: Not what I expected, but I really liked this one too. My husband and my son both hated it, but what do they know? My daughter really liked it too, so maybe it's just not a guy movie. It's pretty deep but a great movie.
I recommend both.

How could anyone like the village after seeing the previews. It was total opposite with me, my boyfriend thought it was alright and I was just horrible disgusted by it.
Did u see the previews before you watched the movie? Well they made it out to be really scary, and it wasn't. So when I went in with those expectations, and then the movie didn't meet them I was disapointed. It was nothing like the previews made it out to be. Maybe if I didn't have those expectations I would have liked it.
Yes I did see the previews and I also went in thinking it was going to be scary which is why I said it wasn't what I expected. But I tried to not let that sway my opinion and came out at the end really enjoying it.

Yes, it was a "movie", but who is going to send a blind girl out thru a forrest to bring back help? C'mon, they could have tried to make it more believable. And Rose*Marie, the old movie was better than the first one and for it's time, it was a good movie. But then, so was The Lottery. lol
But that was the point. They sent her BECAUSE she was blind. She was "safe" and couldn't come back and report what she saw. Thereby keeping the secret.

I got the point. It was just ridiculous, like when she fell in the big hole in the forrest. If the father had cared anything about his daughter, he wouldn't have sent her out like that. And the 'beast' might not have known she was blind, how would he? He was a beast, after all, not an intelligent lifeform.
