The Hangover!

THE HANGOVER

I watched it in NZ not very long ago, and i found it very surprisingly good comedy, fo

r a low-budget film (you can tell by the appalling realism of props haha). It has a quite a number of funny moments, and unlike those films where they show all the humor in a 60 second clip, this movie hurls many comedic situations at you shot after shot that will leave you cracking up non-stop. ^^

Much male, stereotypical humor, but quite many of females friends who watched it found it surprisingly amusing as well. Just take it as a film that will offend all sexes equally. =D People who have experienced a hangover will definitely under stand and enjoy the movie on a better scale. HAH. XD

Justin Bartha returns from National Treasure to be casted as the main role(kindof), Heather Graham from a very tight filming schedule (shes done 4 films this year), Bradley Cooper and Zach Galifianakis whom all performed equally exceptional. Also, a cameo from Mike Tyson! lol

I might, be thrown lot of criticism by those who will find this kind of humor unappealing and low for their tastes for comedies but hey, just know what you're gettin into when you see this XD

The Ruins

Introducing....The Ruins! I saw it quite a while ago and the release date in US was april 2008 so its like 2 months old.


Plot: Four tourists travel goes on an Mexican holiday and stumbles upon a German who urges the tourists to visit an ancient Mayan temple. Upon arrival they meet unfriendly locals and their lives change forever.


This is not your average clichéd horror *cough* Prom Night *cough* (XD howie), but it delivers a new way to terrorize the audience. OK, I admit there weren't that many scares (maybe 1 that I jumped at) but the film keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole time. The acting is superb and their emotions shine through, the death scenes were fairly gory and very depressing but the ending only slightly tips me off.
I heard the book had a different and better ending so if you'd be able to read the book before seeing the film I recommend you do it. The film's kinda disturbing, gory, well-acted one, and i reckon it's the best horror film of the new century, with an original piece of cinema that achieves the status of an instant classic.

Starring hot young stars Laura Ramsey of SHE'S THE MAN, Jena Malone (INTO THE WILD), Jonathan Tucker(PULSE), Shawn Ashmore(XMEN).
