Friday, February 11, 2005 :::
Finally saw the movie everyone's been raving about since its release - The Grudge.
Not bad, but there was absolutely no substance to this film. - Which isn't necessarily a bad thing. For what it was - a simple, creepy horror flick - it was above average. It just doesn't warrant repeated viewing. And I didn't think that it came close to the effectiveness of The Ring. The Grudge was kind of a hodge-podge of jumpy scares and creepy images, all tied together by an extremely simplistic haunted house story. The Ring was more than that. Anyway, Japanese (turned American) horror is still drastically better than m0st of the stuff the US has been putting out; it'll be nice to eventually see these scare tactics put to use with stronger plots. The Ring 2, anyone? *crosses fingers*
Caught a pretty awesome flick on Cinemax tonight called Wishcraft. I'd have to describe it as a mixture of Scream, Drive Me Crazy, Wishmaster, and Can't Hardly Wait. Trust me, it's damn good entertainment. Stupid, exciting, grab a beer entertainment. A solid 3.5 out of 5 stars. Enjoyed it more than I did The Grudge. If you dug Club Dread, you'll probably dig Wishcraft.
Enjoy the weekend...
