House At The End Of The Street


               
     Why did I see this? It's PG13, I should know better. Yet I feel deprived for good horror in the theater so I went. It wasn't super boring, but I wouldn't recommend it. Unless you have a crush on Jennifer Lawrence, cuz she's in a tank top for most of the film, which can be enough for some people. The story was ok, I liked the "twist" or whatever you would call it. But they don't show anything, from the beginning when the girl kills her parents, the POV is under the bed and all you see is bloody feathers.  I guess it's good for people who really can't watch movies with blood but want to see a "horror" movie. 




 This Guy was kinda cute though.

Shortie for Silent House


This one wasn't really that bad, more like ok, definitely not awful. 

Here's my notes:
One continuous take
Interesting idea, but makes for some really long scenes
But makes for built in suspense
Small cast
Think about how things were executed more than other films
Minimal use of music but good use of sound
Pretty rad Victorian house
Huge house with like three stories and a crazy basement
Flash light up the room, I hate that, it’s fucking scary!
How did they do the make up? 
Great ending! 

I would recommend it to horror fans, totes worth a look. Some people can handle the slower ones and if that's you, it will be one you enjoy. I haven't seen the original but it may be worth a look. 


What To Expect When You're Expecting




     This movie was ok, I liked when the dads were talking shit about being a parent, mostly because I don’t like kids. I like to watch shitty movies like this to remind myself that I don’t want kids. I liked that the color scheme was bright and pretty and the picture quality was pretty good too. I wasn’t too bored. It was only at the end that I stopped paying attention, when the babies were born. I’m not interested in the whole ‘I love my baby’ thing. I would recommend it if you like babies or want a shitty movie that takes your mind off your shitty life for a bit.  Also I liked all the different comedians I recognized in it (I did make an involuntary grunt when I saw JLo was in it though) I don’t feel like a better person for watching it, but I don’t feel worse either.
