Silent House

Okay, it's another Friday and that means another release of some new movies! This week, the movie that kind of got my attention was the trailer for a 'turn on the light' kind of feeling. Silent House. I guess you could say I was in the mood for a good scare. If anyone out there ever saw The Devil Inside, we needed something after that to make us think that scary movies could actually be good anymore. Silent House is not that movie. It's just a small step.

The movie is based on a woman who goes to her family's lake house and finds her and her family secluded. They end up having no contact with the outside once in the house. Of course that would happen though, right? I was really hoping that the trailers on TV would actually mean that the movie was even scarier in the theater. It wasn't the case for The Devil Inside and it wasn't the case for this film either.. It's yet again one of those movies that shows all the good stuff on the TV and just prolongs a story with all the good parts in the previews.

Also, the fact that the movie was barely even at 90 minutes. 88 to be exact. The first 50 minutes builds the hype, seen the previews, then the last half hour just comes to a complete stop and that's the story. I'm sorry, but I don't really find any really good scary movies out there yet. I vote this one is just a small step from The Devil Inside and hopefully we can go up from here. I hope there's going to be that one scary movie that just blows all of these out of the water. Waiting for that one to come!

Project X

Going a different route once again on a movie review. After seeing previews for this movie, I knew that it was going to be an adult film. Parties, drinking, and flirting. Three things that late high schoolers and early college go-ers are surrounded by. What better way to view what these are like and exaggerated a lot than in a movie.

This movie doesn't really have anyone really well known. I think it's based on an actual event that's happened in Pasadena, California. It's storyline is based on three anonymous high school seniors that decide to stand out in their group of peers by throwing a party that no one will ever forget.

This movie contains a lot of adult humor, alcohol, drugs, etc. Things that most of our age group love to watch because it's what we think our lives are about. Even though it's probably nothing like that. We just like to think it is. I thought of this movie to be really intense with the things that happen with this epic party. Things that a huge, and I mean huge, party would contain. It's comedy is for a certain type of audience, I believe. If you liked Superbad, you'll really like this movie. Cause to me, it's like Superbad on steroids. As long as the humor is your type of humor, this movie is great. I personally liked the movie and I am sometimes one of those people who think my life is that intense. But, in reality, it's nothing like that. I recommend this movie to an audience of our age.
