messengers review

it sucks



seriously...

let me explain...i am a HUGE fann of the eye. it is actually the ONE movie i wont watch alone, even during the day. i thought this looked really cool (check my post earlier).

i wont spend a ton of time regurgitating the plot, what of it there is. suffice to say, every SINGLE scare is in the trailer...yeah...there is ONE big scene. one. the ending is a complete letdown.

that said, i have to say kristen stewart is a revelation. she is sympathetic and has just the right amt of teen confusion and rregret for this role. i think she is going to have a long and brilliant career, as she seems to have some level of taste in choosing her roles already. if you see this movie, she will be the one thing that does not let you down.

and the little boy. he's cute.

but its not scary. its not that interesting. the pang bros have a great film in them. this isnt it.

2 stars, and those are both the work of ms. stewart. if this had starred, say, an olsen twin, it would be a 1/2 star film at best.

I was afraid of that.

I just rented Hard Candy. I've heard good things about that one. I'll post a review and let you know.

i saw hard candy...i will be interested to know what you, or anyone else who has seen it, thinks. i had a reaction to it, and i think it will be hard for people to watch it and not have a reax...oddly enough, not necessarily the way it wants to take you, but i will wait for your review to make those commenmts

also, i also wrote a screenplay about 10 years ago called 'hard candy'. it has nothing to do with this one, but now i guess it is officially dead...not that it was ever going to be revived anyway, but i should sue just for the hell ofm it! if i win, i think i might have to look up a couple screenplays i wrote a while back...one was about a guy who liked to fire people at work...

the other was a guy that went to our high school named eric thomas.

collectively, these two screenplays were...

the terminator...and ET

and yes, i am fully aware that were anyone here who knows me i would be most deserving of a slap for those two horrible jokes...

but you know, without the pun, for comparison, real humor just isnt as funny...just liek, without overcooked, mushy spinach, pizza and ice cream wouldnt taste as good...

so i did that in the name of humor, mike...and we all kow you have made you occasional contribution there as well!

incidentally, this is a thread about the messengers, and it is really getting the attention it deserves in this thread.

although i a considering 'oxide' as a potential name for one of my kids, now...do you think 'oxide' works for either gender?

No. Only for girls.

hmmmm....too bad that oxide pangh is a boy...or at least, i am assuming that, as one of the pang 'brothers', he is a boy.
