The International. Rating:R


A while ago, I saw a movie called the international. It was the first R rated movie that I saw in theaters. It had two actors that I like, Naomi Watts and Clive Owen. It was an action movie, about a bank that liked to kill people. I'm serious, there wasn't a great structured plot, but the acting and action was really good, and overall I liked it. Rotten Tomatoes gave it 52% good reviews, saying that it was pretty good, but the plot was kind of preposterous. My favorite scene is when they are in the museum, and everybody starts shooting at each other. It was graphic bloody violence, shown in a cool subtle way. I still think Clive Owen should be the next James Bond. I think he could out-do Lazenby and Brosnan. This movie was not that popular on DVD, but it did pretty well in the box office, and I really wanted to see it ever since I saw a preview for it.

Catching Up

It's so weird, but I have not posted since April. It didn't feel like a really long time to me, but maybe that's because I've been so busy. Again, I can't tell you all the movies that I've seen recently, but I can tell you about some of them. I've gotten to see more mature movies now, and I'm going to start off with two of those. I hope you are still reading my posts.

Boogeyman. Rating: PG-13


I haven't posted in a while, so I can't remember all the movies that I've seen. I'll talk about the unforgettable ones though, and that doesn't necessarily mean that they're good.
The first one is Boogeyman, a movie about a man who goes back to his childhood home because he suspects that the Boogeyman lives there, and he can't take the curiosity. It is from 2005, and is a horror movie. I personally, thought it was pretty good. The critics did not feel the same way, but I don't always agree with them. It had some pretty effective scares, and fine acting.
One thing that I have never seen in a horror movie before, that they did in this, was that sometimes when the guy was about to open a door and you knew something was gonna jump out, they tilted the camera a little bit so it looked diagonal. This helped make it scarier for some reason. I do admit that it was kind of ridiculous, but still fun and exciting.
This was the first really scary movie I saw by myself. I was browsing On Demand, and my mom wasn't home. I saw this, and remembered seeing previews for it when I was little. I called my mom to ask her if I could see it, and since it was PG-13, she said yes.
Boogeyman got 13% good reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, but I would have given it 70%. I don't know why the picture is like that. That's not what it looked like when I put it in.
