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.

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.

All Good Things 

R, 2010

     I don't really know what to say. I need closure and I have my suspicions. This movie angered me a little, saddened me a little, and even scared me a little, but I was interested until the end.

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo

R, 2010

     I read the books, and they were great, though the first was my least favorite. The movie is totally better than the book, though I'm not sure if a person watching the movie without the book would follow along all that well... But totally worth the time and money!

PG13, 2006

     Quite a long movie, but what a thrill to watch! I expected a movie about a giant ape, because I knew virtually nothing about this movie, and got a film concerning the tyranny of the real world with dinosaurs, humungous bees, and other huge special effects. I loved it not only for its superficial superiority as a movie, but also for all the implications concerning beastliness and beauty, psychology and tyranny, and the world we really live in. I highly recommend this movie for anyone who has the time to watch it.
