The Ruins (2008)
I liked it...
All in all I think it was a pretty good movie. It had some gore and the plot wasn't to bad. There were some parts that I just didn't get. Since they had fire..why didn't they try to burn the plants? Also when they first lowered the German guy down (can't remember his name) to get the cell phone the rope was broke like half way to the bottom of the pit. But later when the girls went down to get the phone some how the rope grew much longer. The ending was left open for a sequel I guess. It wasn't a bad movie. It had some scary parts that made me jump. The acting could have been a little better. I believe this was a book first. I would assume that the book would be much better then the movie as most books are.
The Descent (2005)
The girls got on my nerves
The worst part of this movie was the girlfriends. I found them very annoying and the acting was bad too. First of all who goes into a cave without telling anyone else and does not even bring a map? I wanted to slap her for being so stupid! The monsters were creepy and there were moments that I did jump. There was a lot of gore, but the movie at times was so dark that it was hard to see. I also did not care for the ending of the movie either. If it came down to me and one of my friends lost in this cave...I would not leave her to the creepy monsters. I would not want to be the last one alone with those things! My main problem really is the characters in it. I did not find them real enough..maybe it was just bad acting...I don't know. So I gave it three stars.
Circle of Eight (2009)
Could have been better
This movie starts out with a young girl moving into a new apt in the city. The first thing I noticed was that she only has one box of stuff with her? I kind of get the the story line somewhat. Some things they show...like the two lesbians making out in the dark, dank building made no sense. What was the reason? The never show them again. Another thing that bothered me was that Jessica never locked her doors! Here she is a single woman living by herself in a nasty rundown apt building with a bunch of strange people who are always popping into her apt uninvited! You would think she would learn to lock her doors...at one point she was taking a bath and again Evan walks in on her....HELLO lock your doors girl! I must say that the best part in the movie was Ed! Too many holes in this movie...could have been much better!
