Cabin in the Woods

R, 2012

   I didn't have very high expectations of this movie, I must admit, but it totally surprised me. Right after watching, I thought, "Wow!" and listened to the music that played during the credits. It's a more sinister Hunger Games. It's horrible right up until the end, when it starts to make sense and ends up... well, no spoilers here. If you like gory horror movies with a little bit of mythology thrown in, this is a five-star movie that you'll love.

This movie is not for children, thus the R rating.

Legends of the Fall

R, 1994

     This was a great movie. Though it's more than two hours, it didn't really feel like it. I did know it was from a book without looking, just because how the story's told and everything. Brad Pitt is a tragic hero in this film, and he's a good one. Definitely worth watching at least once. I recommend for anyone who's old enough to appreciate the adult content and who enjoys a good story, with its ups and downs. This one's going on my shelf.

This movie is rated R for multiple reasons. I do not suggest for anyone less than the age of eighteen. Make sure you watch this before even thinking about letting your kids.

The Duchess 

PG-13, 2008

     This movie wasn't the most interesting movie I have ever seen, but it was very well done and worth the time to watch. The acting, costumes, story line and everything was great. I just felt trapped with the main character and wish there would have been some way to live happily then. I think that was one of the points of the movie, to show how women used to be treated. I highly recommend this movie to any who like historical dramas and women's issues in society. 

I wouldn't suggest this movie for anyone less than the age of 15, due to the mild sex scene between the Duchess and her out-of-wedlock lover. I don't consider this movie for immature audiences, due to the lack of interest I believe they would have for it.

Contact

PG, 1997

     I haven't read the book, but the movie was really easy to follow and quite interesting. Really worth the time and money, I feel. I also think it backs up some theories and ideas I have for my "Aliens" book, which I haven't started writing yet but have growing inside my head.
