Im in film appreciation this semester. Every Wednesday night we watch a movie as a class. This week we watched the 1982 John Carpenter movie The Thing.
This is a horror film but I didn't find myself too terrified (until of course my friend explained how she thought the monster looked like a spider, my biggest fear). The only reason I couldn't look out from behind my hands is the gore that John Carpenter found the need to put in. Blood + guts = a disgusted ebeth.
The story is about a group of researchers in Antarctica who stumble upon an alien ship and an alien that shapshifts into perfect replicas of human beings. I felt unsatisfied at the end, wanting to know what happened next.
After the movie I searched IMDb to find out more about the movie and found out that they are making a prequel to the movie. It will have the same title. This is going to be difficult for me to watch. Movies today seem to scare me more then the horror movies from the past.

Paranormal Activity 2
I have no idea how I got talked into watching this one.
I hate scary movies. And this one definitely terrified me. I couldn't fall asleep afterwards for the longest time.
The movie is a prequel to the first Paranormal Activity (which I did not watch and I probably never will). The movie centers around a family with a newborn baby boy. One day the family comes home to find all their things thrown around the house. The only room not touched was the baby's room. Thinking it was a burglar and not wanting it to happen again, the family puts up cameras. Most of the rest of the movie is seen through those cameras. The cameras catch some crazy things happening (doors opening by itself, shadows, the pool vacuum lift itself out of the pool, and the cabinets all opening at the same time just to name a few).
The movie was completely messed up and I had my eyes covered most of the time. Definitely not one I will watch again!

The Roommate
Saw The Roommate last night with my roomie Ashton.
The movie was completely psychotic. I didn't think Leighton Meester had it in her. She played her role so well it's scary. I will never be able to look at her the same way. Watching this movie made me so glad I would never have to be a freshman in college again!
The movie is about a girl from Iowa coming to school in LA for her freshman year. She is paired up with a random roommate who turns out to be Leighton Meester. Through the whole movie you can tell she's just a little off. *Spoiler Alert* One example is when she kills the kitten in the dryer.** All she wants is her roommate to be her best friend. She finally completely loses it and things do NOT go her way.
I'm glad I can say I've seen it but I will probably NEVER see it again. It freaked me out way too much!
