Slice into Insanity....: Movies!

I have been sick for the past week so I'm a little behind but hopefully gonna catch up. Since all I wanted to do was watch movies that is what we did. We watched a lot of our favorite movies and a few new ones. So here are a few of the newer ones.

Finally got around to watching A Perfect Getaway. I loved it. The story line was great, the cast was great and the twist was amazing. For their honeymoon, newlyweds Cliff and Cydney head to the tropical islands of Hawaii. While journeying through the paradisaical countryside the couple encounters Kale and Cleo, two disgruntled hitchhikers and Nick and Gina, two wild but well-meaning spirits who help guide them through the lush jungles. The picturesque waterfalls and scenic mountainsides quickly give way to terror when Cliff and Cydney learn of a grisly murder that occurred nearby and realize that they're being followed by chance acquaintances that suspiciously fit the description of the killers. I give this one a 10! Watch it, so so so good.

I was really excited to watch The Final Destination. I loved the first 3 but this one was ok not the worse movie ever but def. not the best. A group of friends go to the Speedway to watch a race and one of the guys has a premonition about a crash that kills tons of people there. Well he starts freaking out, they go outside and than there is a big crash. Some of the people who were suppose to die didn't and now death is searching them out and killing them. It's the same story line as the others but the cast wasn't so great and just didn't have the same feel. I'm giving this one a 7 right now but I'm not totally sure yet. Watch it maybe you'll like it more.

Brownlog rented Public Enemies because we both wanted to see it and it ended up being amazing. The casting was great and of course the story line was great as well. This is the story of the last few years of the notorious bank robber John Dillinger. He loved what he did and could imagine little else that would make him happier. Living openly in 1930s Chicago, he had the run of the city with little fear of reprisals from the authorities. It's there that he meets Billie Frechette with whom he falls deeply in love. In parallel we meet Melvin Purvis, the FBI agent who would eventually track Dillinger down. The FBI was is in its early days and Director J. Edgar Hoover was keen to promote the clean cut image that so dominated the organization through his lifetime. Purvis realizes that if he is going to get Dillinger, he will have to use street tactics and imports appropriate men with police training. Dillinger is eventually betrayed by an acquaintance who tells the authorities just where to find him on a given night. I give this a 10 hands down!

We watched the movie The Echo. It was actually pretty good. I had never heard of it and we just watched it by chance and it was good. Bobby Reynolds is released on probation from Rikers and moves to the old apartment in East Village, New York, where his lonely mother lived and passed away. He finds a job as mechanic at the Houston Auto Repair shop owned by the supportive Hector Rodriguez and tries to rebuild his life. However, he is deemed an outcast and his former friends and neighbors do not want to talk to him. He meets his former girlfriend, Alyssa Foldes, who works as waitress and studies in a design college. Bobby hears weird noises and finds blood in his apartment, and overhears an argument between an abusive police officer and his wife and their daughters. Soon he discovers that the next door apartment is actually empty and he is haunted by the ghosts of the deceased family who were not helped by the neighbors who lived there at that time. I give this one a 9.
