OK, I finally got a chance to check out the 4 movies that I got through my new online rental dealio...
Anyway, all 4 were OK, and 2 were better than I was expecting.
1. Silent Hill- This was better than I thought it was going to be. It had a different storyline to the usual horror flicks (I'm not familiar with the game, either) and I thought Radha Mitchell did an awesome job. There were a few more grosser things in there than I was expecting too. Bleh. :lol: But overall, it kept me interested, and I can't say that about many horror films these days. One thing though, I'm not quite sure I understood the ending, so if anyone can explain that to me, I'd appreciate it.
2. The Hills Have Eyes- not bad and not as gross as I thought it would be. I didn't find it particularly scary though, which was a bit disappointing. The characters were really well played and interesting though, so that kept me interested. Aaron Stanford in particular did a great job.
3. Proof- Not bad. Gwyneth Paltrow was amazing; damn that woman is versatile. Julia Roberts should take notes! :lol: Jake Gyllenhall was good as well, and I liked his quirky performance, and Anthony Hopkins is always good. Again, it kept me interested but it was a little anticlimactic, and I pretty much could see how it was going to play out all along. Still, not a bad film.
4. The Family Stone- also better than I was expecting. If you're a fan of quirky family movies, then I'd say give this one a go. I always love Craig T Nelson and Luke Wilson so that's a bonus. And whatsherface from The Notebook was good as well. Diane Keaton is always good, so I won't even bother going there. Anyway, an amusing little family romp and I quite liked it.
Phew. Glad I finally got a chance to watch all those. I'm ready for my next batch! :lol:
