The Grudge (2004): very scary that's for sure. i don't know why i continue to torture myself by watching scary movies. and i can't just walk out cuz i don't want to waste the money. i'm sure i'll learn some day. as far as scariness goes, its like a 9, but the movie quality of it sucked. they focused too much on scaring the crap out of me and not enough on the story. its also hard not to compare it to the ring, which was by far superior. the script was completely terrible and unbelievable. reminded me of the many "great" teen scary movies of the late 90's. there was just no substance to it. good flashbacks though. and my last thought is about the ending. if you are gonna see it, don't read any further....the end sucks my butt. this whole time she is fighting this thing and trying to figure out the mystery and stay alive, all just to die at the end. imagine the family dying by the aliens in signs, or that little cracker dying at the end of sixth sense. "i see dead people, but its okay cuz now i can help them as long as i don't die. crap, here comes a dead person to kill me." the end. i'm all for unhappy endings, but only when they fit. didn't fit here. don't see it.
Saw (2004): i'm still recovering from this. it was one of the most gruesome, demented movies i've ever seen. in fact, during the movie i had already made up my mind that i wouldn't buy it because it was so demented. bad way of thinking on my part though. its like saying that because this movie had too much violence or sex or language, i'm not gonna buy it, despite it being a freaking amazing movie. that's never been my style, so i'm gonna have to say that i'll be buying this one, as should you. you are always guessing throughout the entire movie and it never got slow. i even thought i was so smart cuz i figured it all out within 20 minutes, but i should have known better. i love the movie seven and didn't think this movie would compare, but it really does. story is just like that of seven, but this movie pushes the envelope just a tad more than seven did. either way, it will freak the shit out of you and many times you'll have to look away from the screen, but it will be worth it i promise! so go buy it. see it now if you still can, then buy it when it comes out.
man, john peel just died. for all those that didn't know of him, you probably won't care that he is dead. sucks though. go google him or something and find out more about him. the man sure knew his music.
going snowboarding (hopefully) up in park city next friday. they are having some educational thing and since i work for the educational system, they are offering $15 tickets. isn't that rad? hopefully kim will be able to get work off and we can go together. looks like thanksgiving is out for denver. just don't have the money and time. plus i'm gonna be hitting the books like mad during that time. well, i say that i will, so we'll see. looks like mom isn't moving here. don't really have a thought for or against it. just hope she's happy and it all works out. chris is living with the bastard step-dad though. not his bastard step-dad, but mine. its his real dad. actually, i'll call him my bastard ex-step-dad since he's got nothing on me anymore. anyways, i'm just ready for the weekend to be here. need a break from school. week went by fast though and the end will be here before i know it. death is an interesting topic in my head these days. and i'm beginning to realize how important 2005 will be compared to every year of my life, past and to come. kinda getting scared. alright, i got nothing else to say to you. goodbye.
