( Thoughts on the pilot behind the cut ... mildly spoilery )

All in all, the pilot was okay, but I definitely sense potential for the show to become Must-Squee-TV.

OMG!  A sequel that's as good as the orginal!


Title:  The Descent Part 2, 2010
Directed by: Jon Harris
Written by:  J. Blakeson and James McCarthy
Starring: Shauna MacDonald, Natalie Jackson Mendoza, Krysten Cummings, Douglas Hodge, Anna Skellern
Rating: R for strong bloody horror violence, grisly images, terror and language.
Genre: Horror|Adventure|Thriller
Runtime: 94 min.
Synopsis: Distraught, confused, and half-wild with fear, Sarah Carter emerges alone from the Appalachian cave system where she encountered unspeakable terrors. Unable to plausibly explain to the authorities what happened - or why she's covered in her friends' blood - Sarah is forced back to the subterranean depths to help locate her five missing companions.
Notes:  The Descent Part 2 is a really frakking good movie.  I am shocked, but oh so pleased.  I honestly thought that the movie was going to be terrible due to the fact that the first one didn't really seem to leave room for a second, and that a new director was coming on board, but this movie was very, very, very true to the original.  And what is truly remarkable about it is that it actually fits perfectly with the events of the first film.

I don't want to say anything more about it now and risk spoiling anyone.  Just watch and then comment about the awesome!

Because I totally would have watched it before this if I knew that:

and

That Dr. Laura Baker and Eve would have this Jennifer/Needy-esque tragic love affair!

I doubt the director will ever come out and be like "yeah, they were doing it" like Karyn Kusama did with Jennifer's Body, but Laura totally had a girl-boner for Eve and in the end Eve proved how much she totes loved Laura too.

I mean these movies are ridiculous, don't get me wrong. I saw Species when I was like 13 and the only thing I remembered about it before watching the series this weekend was that Natasha Henstridges boobs made me gay. Honestly, I remembered nothing about it other than her being naked a lot and being really, really hot ... and I was pretty sure that she was an alien or something, lol.

Still, as dumb as they are the movies (I and II at least, III so far is suffering due to the fact that there is no Marg, Natasha was only in it for like five minutes and her boobs didn't make an appearance, and the fact that Robin Dunne *shudder* is in it) are as entertaining as they are ridiculous and there ain't nothing wrong with that!

It's likely that only about three people will read it, but there will be fic for this pairing soon. I know, of all the things to inspire me to actually write after this dry spell it's Species II fic. Species II. If I wasn't so happy to have finished a piece I would be disappointed in myself.

Movie Review: The Hamiltons

Okay, so I just got through watching a movie called The Hamiltons, and I absolutely floved it. I don’t want to gush too much about what I loved about it, because it’s one of those movies where if you know too much about it before going in it kind of ruins for it you. Like how I just thought The Sixth Sense was ‘okay’ cause one of my asshole friends told me Bruce Willis was dead before I saw the movie! Asshole.

So I’m not going to be an asshole and ruin it for you.

Tagline:

( Every Family Has Secrets  )

Plot:

The Hamiltons seem to be an ordinary American family, living in a small town in Northern California and dealing with the problems of everyday life. They've also been recently adjusting to the untimely death of their parents. David Hamilton, the oldest, has taken it upon his shoulders to pick up the responsibility for the orphaned family. Twins Wendell and Darlene are darker than the other two siblings and have become more conniving in the past few months. The youngest and most sensitive of the family is Francis. Francis recently found an old video camera his parents owned, and is using it to work on a school project about his family. It's through Francis' eyes that we soon get to know the Hamiltons and realize that there are much more disturbing elements lurking below the surface of "ordinary."

Comments:

The movie, directed by a duo credited as “The Butcher Brothers”, is not a typical horror film so much as a really cool thinking person's horror film. On a rather limited budget, The Butcher Brother (whom I hope to see more work from) managed to craft a good old-fashion, creepy, psychological scare fest that packs some pretty powerful shocks while using minimal - but effective - gore and make-up effects (kind of like those great creepy atmospheric movies from the 70s, only it doesn’t test your gag reflex every fifteen minutes).

The family in the movie really is the definition of dysfunctional, and its fascinating watching them navigate through the mundane everyday problems and issues that most people can relate to, coupled with their unique situation.

I thought the story was engaging, and I was creeped out by, fascinated by, and surprisingly enough by the end touched by the family. After twenty minutes, I WANTED to see how and why this family was so screwed up.

Cory Knauf gives a solid performance as Francis, the young man that has so much to say, but cannot. He really shows how torn Francis about his family and the isolation that is felt by many teens struggling to find their place as they hit adulthood. Mackenzie Firgens gives a performance as twin Darlene who is deliciously vicious and sexy at the same time. And I though that Samuel Child had some really great moments as the responsible, repressed, oldest sibling David who is struggling valiantly to try and hold things together but is increasingly frustrated as everything seems to be spiraling out of control.

I highly recommend that you give it a watch … and then comment here so that I have people to squee about it with!

P.S. I'd stay away from the imdb message board for the movie until you see it because some ass put up spoilers for it in the title of their post)
