Last night I watched “The Woman in Black”.  I thought it was a pretty good movie, both from a scary point of view and a plot point of view.  There were definitely several points that made me jump and actually gasp out loud.  In terms of the plot, I feel like scary movies don’t usually really have one and if they do, it makes no sense at all.  In this movie, there was actually a plot line and it actually made sense!  I’ll definitely be sleeping with the lights on tonight.  In case you missed the preview, it’s below.  Also, in case you couldn’t tell, if you’re in for a few jumps and being creeped out for about an hour and a half, watching “The Women in Black” is definitely a good way to do it!

I’m a big fan of scary movies…or at least I am until I sit down to watch one.  Once I’m in the theater or on the couch, I usually end up watching the majority of the movie from between my fingers, which are open just enough for me to catch glimpses of what is going on on the screen.  Once in college, two of my roommates and I decided we were going to watch “The Exorcist” so we went to the video store and rented it.  By the time we got it back to our apartment, me and one of my other roommates had decided we were too scared to watch it just from looking at the cover…true story!  With that being said, check out this SCARY preview!

Friday night I went to see “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo”.  I thought it was very good.  The storyline of the movie followed the first book really closely…up until almost the end.  Without giving anything away, the part I’m talking about has to do with Harriet.  I personally wasn’t a huge fan of the difference…I preferred the way the book did it.  However, my boyfriend said he actually liked the movie’s twist better.

Also, for those of you who were worried that the first movie had parts from the other books in it, I only noticed two parts that weren’t in the first book.  The audience finds out why Salander is the way she is and she also has another encounter, by choice, with her mentor.

I think the actress who played Salander did an amazing job in the role.  The movie was around 2 and a half hours but it held my interest the whole time and we were even at a later showing.  Some of the scenes were pretty graphic, but not overly graphic…if you’ve read the book then you know what I’m talking about.  Needless to say, I highly recommend seeing this movie.  I am super excited for the second one to come out!

I don’t know about you but I am pretty excited to see “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo” in theaters.  As I mentioned before, this summer my boyfriend and I took several long car trips and we listened to this book on his Ipod.  Unfortunately, he couldn’t wait to find out the ending so he listened to the finals chapters without me, requiring me to actually pick the book up and read the last ones myself.  Luckily, I had it readily at hand.  Anyway, when we were in New Hampshire for Christmas we watched the Swedish version of the movie with my parents.  (Okay, HE watched it with my parents…it had subtitles and I was really tired so I slept through most of it.)  The parts I did see though made me even more interested in going to see the US version because I want to see if it follows the book more closely.

I saw Breaking Dawn: Part 1 yesterday, along with the rest of the Crazy Dog crew, minus Pete.  I must say, it was quite entertaining!  There were, of course, a few cheesy parts, like when the werewolves were talking among themselves, but I think this was to be expected as all of the movies have some parts like this.  I also had a hard time not giggling to myself whenever the werewolves were on screen, as they were basically the size of whales and looked pretty unrealistic.  Other then these few complaints though, I really thought the movie was pretty good.  They did an excellent job with Kristen Stewart’s make-up…and this is all I will say to not ruin it for those of you who haven’t seen it yet.  I also think they ended the first movie at a perfect spot that will keep viewers excited for the second movie to come out.

I’ve read the first three books, but didn’t get a change to read the fourth book before the movie came out, so I didn’t know the complete storyline.  I had a basic idea of what would happen though, as everyone was talking about Breaking Dawn when the book first came out.  I definitely want to get the book read before Part 2 comes out in the theater!  For those of you who have seen it and read the book, how do you think they compare?

For all of you Twi-Hard fans out there anxiously counting down the hours until the midnight premiere of Breaking Dawn: Part 1, I give you the trailer again to help you pass the time!  Enjoy…and if you see it tonight, let me know how it is.  I’m going to see it Sunday.

I don’t know about you, but I am VERY anxiously awaiting “The Hunger Games” movie!  This book, which is the first installment in a trilogy, is by far one of the most entertaining books I have ever read.  I was hooked as soon as I read the first chapter.  I know the book is meant for a younger audience, but every single person that I know that is around my age who has read it has loved it too.  Suzanne Collins definitely knows how to write a page-turner!

Check out the below trailer and then if you’ve read The Hunger Games, or even if you haven’t, you can share in my excitement!

Once again I’m in the Christmas mood today.  Maybe it has something to do with the fact that there are a few flakes flying outside?!  Anyway, here is today’s video that makes me happy…the original trailer from “A Christmas Story.”  Enjoy!

Just in time for Halloween, here’s a trailer to what I think is one of the scariest movies out there.  Happy Halloween!

Here’s this week’s scary movie trailer.  I went with this one because this movie truly terrified me.  The night I saw this movie, I didn’t fall asleep until the sun was coming up the next morning because every time I closed my eyes, all I could see was the creepy little girl sneaking up on me.  Enjoy!
