Movie: Insidious

It has been a very long time when any movie gave me the chills, especially a horror movie. Well, I got one in the middle of the movie "Insidious". It is a throwback to the classic horror movies even with the old school music. (My friend who has not seen many old horror movies thought it was very odd.) I won't tell you exactly where I got the jitters but it definitely happened.

The movie as a whole was pretty darn good too. No plot holes, no items outside the realm of the movie logic, no impossibly stupid or smart people. I did guess the ending but my friend did not. Also no crazy amount of gore for no reason. What really kills a movie (other than the commercials giving away the ending, which this did not luckily) is seeing more blood come out of one person than they could possibly have in their entire body. This never happens and I am very glad.

So if you like to be scared, or are one of those people who like to spend half of their time in the theatre watching a movie between their fingers, give this one a try. Watching with a packed house made it even more fun. I swear some girls were just screaming because so many others were freaking out next to them. Don't worry, I'll be there to protect them :>

My love/hate with movie commericals

I watched "Predators" on opening night and I have to say I liked it a lot. But one thing really ruined it for me. It was not the actors, the special effects or the plot, it was the trailer for it I watched a few weeks ago.

There is a scene in the commercial when about a dozen red triangle targets are pointed at the main character signifying that he was being targeted by multiple predators. I was waiting for that to happen in the movie and it never did. This annoyed me greatly.

This is one of the many reasons why I believe there should be rules for movie trailers. If they are not followed, people will be hung in the town hall for all to see how evil they are;

• Commercials will not show scenes that are within the last 30 minutes of the movie.
• Commercials will not show plot twists that are within the last half of the movie.
• Commercials will not show scenes that were deleted from the movie.Commercials will not show scenes that were changed from the movie unless it was make specifically and obviously for the commercial.
• Commercials will not show all the good parts of the movie so there is nothing left interesting to see.
• Commercials will not show the entire plot of the movie
• Commercials will not show reviews from people no one has heard of
• Commercials will not use the term "of the year" or "of the decade" in it. (Especially when the year just started!)
• Commercials will not not show scenes so quickly as to not actually be able to see anything.
• Commercials will not be shown more than twice per TV show they are being shown on.
• Commercials will not pretend to be child friendly only to have a lot of adult content in the actual movie.
• Commercials will not pretend to have a lot of T&A in the movie to have little or none.

Did I miss anything?
