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:
