Jug Face

Is it just me or her eyes are abnormally large? 

Synopsis

Review

I...did not like this movie at all. I wish it was a lot better than what it turned out to be. There are some well known actors.. well one I recognized which is the mom of the lead character. There were a lot of gender issues that plagued her and she found out she was pregnant before she got married.. her mother wasn't too happy about that. She was subjected to vaginal examinations... all sorts of things. I didn't like the movie and I won't recommend it.

Synopsis

This story is mainly about a family who moves into a home where every family member but the mom was killed. The children will haunt the house and try to kill the family who moved there. Meanwhile, the son meets a girl who lives next door and they unleash the deadly spirits in the house. Later, something unbelievable happens.

Review

"Haunted" definitely kept my attention. I'm a super horror fan, so if I thought it wasn't worth watching I would have turned it off within 5 minutes. What I really loved about this movie was the creepy narration of the wife and mom whose family was killed in the house. It starts off as a typical haunted house horror story, but it ends quite differently. I didn't like the ending very well, but I do understand the purpose of why it ended that way. It isn't the typical ending, that's for sure. 

What I wanted the writer and director to do more of was to further develop the story of the girl who lived next door. It seems as if it is very random and I couldn't piece it together. I did like that the story took place in the middle of winter. Most horror stories don't. The atypical nature of it is what's so cool about the story, but it also made things not quite fit together sometimes. I don't want to say a lot because I don't want to give the story away. I would recommend the movie for others to watch.

Review

I think this movie is really chilling. I would recommend this movie to anyone. I think it gives you a lot to think about and you have to get the whole idea. The acting and the camera angles are great. I don't want to say much about the storyline because I do want you to watch, but it's basically about not so good people trapped in an elevator... and the devil is there with them. They have short to do and say what they have to do to figure out why they are trapped in the elevator to begin with. Pretty cool movie.

Supposedly, there's a small buzz going around about living in "tiny houses." The few people who live in tiny houses choose to do so because they are environmentally sensitive and/or they want to save money on mortgage and other bills that come along with owning a permanent home.

I thought this documentary was very interesting, but I'm wondering if there are many more people out there who want to live in tiny houses, but they don't have the means to build one or they don't have the desire because they haven't heard of such a thing existing. I wish they would have gotten more interviews with people who live in them.. maybe a wider scope.

I didn't like the filming too much. It seemed like an amateur did it, but I am pleased with the information and insight that was provided. It made me think about building my own tiny house! I may build one in the future.. when I'm older. Right now I don't see any use for it since it looks like it won't be comfortable for a family of four.

I Finally Finished The Twilight Series!

Oh, my gosh! I have finally finished my Twilight series movie collection! I went to Walmart this morning to find a cover for my Kindle and I glanced over to a huge case of dvds on sale for $5 each. Like always, I couldn't resist and for good reason this time! I walked away with Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse! I already bought Breaking Dawn I and II a few months ago (my favorite one) and I wanted to finish my collection. 

I adore this series. It is so beautiful and elegantly made. I wish I could watch all 4 movies every day of my life, but that would get boring after a while, would it? However, I will watch the ones I bought today and watch Breaking Dawn for the..... I've seen it more than once. Let's put it that way. I'm excited! This is one series I hoped would never end. 

Mystical Journey: Kumbh Mela

If you are familiar with Indian Religious practices, then you may know about the Kumbh Mela, the largest Relgious festival in the world happening every year in India. A well renowned actor, Dominic West goes on a pilgrimage to Northern India to partake in the festivities. I would call this a mini documentary since it is only 46 minutes long on and available Smithsonian channel. It gives you a glimpse into this wonderful festival and also some information about the religion and culture. 

What's So Appealing about Orange Is The New Black?

I can pretty much get the hype behind some television shows I don't watch (not really), but I'm having trouble figuring out why Orange Is The New Black has such a following. Is it the acting? Is it because it's set inside of a jail? What is so appealing about this television show? I know that most of the actors chosen for the show are not well known, so I'm guessing the storyline is interesting? 

I tried to watch the very first episode of the show and I did not get glued in like the rest of the universe. I'm sure something is there, but I can't find out what. My confusion is similar about shows like, Boardwalk Empire and Mad Men. I cannot get into those shows for anything! I sort of feel like I'm boring.. And I always don't like what everyone else is watching. Clue me in! Why are people so excited about this show?
