It all started with Miley Cyrus and a dog with a god-complex. Along the way, we've seen an inexplicably deranged miner murder an entire cast (and plot) and one of the most terrifying and emotionally scarring children's movie in cinematic history. Whenever any movie is released in 3D, we'll be there opening night (unless its about the Jonas Brothers).
Coraline in 3D had been one of the most anticipated films for our group. A lot of us had read the Neil Gaiman's creepy children's story on which the movie is based. Overall, the group really enjoyed the film and the fantasy world it portrayed.
The film was just as creepy and unnerving as we would have hoped. With colorful, imaginative scenery and exciting characters, this movie kept the entire group greatly entertained.
We were all excited for the second 3D film of the semester. It had promise; it was advertised as the "perfect date movie". Some of us had our doubts though about My Bloody Valentine in 3Dees (mainly the girls). The date is January 15th and we all arrive to watch the midnight opening. Overall, we expected it to be more of a amusement park-style 3D "adventure" rather than a movie and for the most part, we were right. Sure, it was exciting. Sure, there was gratuitous violence and sex. But then again, we are teenagers. This is what we like, right?
Mhmm... Pizza. So the villain is frightening, the victims are attractive and the gore is plentiful. The group had a better time making fun of the movie than actually watching it, but at least we had a good time. We left the theater with most of our souls forever scared by the violence and gruesome deaths, but then again, I'm sure we've all seen worse in countless other films. (i.e., Audition, Tokyo Gore Police, Battle Royale, to just name a few). If you're a fan of easily mocked and somewhat goofy horror movies, then you'll probably enjoy this. Just don't get too attached to any of the characters, even the ridiculous ones.
