The Cabin in the Woods (2011)
I wish I didn't see this movie
Apart from many other deficiencies in this movie, the overuse of unimaginative stereotypes to create fear or intrigue was insulting— references to stupid college kids, red-neck guy quoting scripture, references to Christianity, punishment and iconography. All it does is create confusion and it shows no original thought which is not grounded in history or today's reality. 90% of the demographics that would watch this movie have no context of history, nor do they care. All they care about is entertainment, which accounts for the high ratings. Unfortunately, when the audience sees the same stereotype played out over and over again in the same type of movies, it becomes reality. The filmmaker has a larger responsibility to its audience. I hope the people that worked on this movie weren't duped into thinking that they were producing a quality film.
Don't attempt to be intelligent or ground-breaking when you're clearly not. This is GARBAGE.
The Stone Angel (2007)
I found no connection to this movie/story
I found the characters mediocre and the story uninteresting. I never had to read this book (thankfully), or it would have been a painful experience. I got the tickets to the preview for free but it still wasn't worth my time, or my friend's. I think this story is not worth telling. It's like saying that old people have a past before they got old (no kidding). The lives of the main characters were painful to watch, one generation no better than the next at avoiding stupid mistakes. However, I think the actors did the best they could with a lame story. I've always been a big fan of Ellen Burstyn. I'm writing this review to counteract the positive reviews given, which unfortunately convinced me to give this movie a try.
