Don't Be Afraid of the Dark

Last week I watched a movie called, "Don't be Afraid of the Dark", and it was absolutely horrible. The movie actors are, Guy Pierce, Katie Holmes, and Bailee Madison as the little girl. I like Guy Piece's acting normally but I'm not a Katie Holmes fan at all but I wanted to see it just to give it a chance and of course it's because a horror film. It was completely different than what I thought, in a bad way.

Here's a brief synopsis and movie statement:


"A young girl sent to live with her father and his new girlfriend discovers creatures in her new home who want to claim her as one of their own."

Even the concept of this film, I didn't enjoy. The little girl who is the main character spends most of the movie not talking and is very sullen. She then discovers the creatures from the furnace of the old mansion that she and her dad, " Guy Pierce and girlfriend, Katie Holmes had just moved into. Finally this lonely little girl Sally opens up the furnace in the the basement because she starts hearing voices calling out her name. Shen naively sets these creatures free. At first Sally thinks they are nice and friendly but can only be out when it's dark out, hence the title.
When Sally finally figures out these creatures are trouble, she confides to Katie Holme's character who believes her and goes to research the story of the old house.

I wouldn't want to give away the ending, in case you still want to check this horrid and predictable film out.

I wanted to see the movie also because it was written by Guillermo del Toro, who's work I usually enjoying watching. If he had been directing the movie, it might have been a little better but not as much. I found my self laughing so hard just because of all the bad acting in "Don't be Afraid of the Dark." I can honestly say that there wasn't anything I enjoyed about this film and being completely honest in this movie review.

Now if you are like me and feel you have to see it just because it's supposed to be a "horror," which it isn't at all. It was a rip off of the movies, "Labyrinth," "The Gate" and the creatures were ripped off from the creatures in "The Descent."

All in all, I give it two thumbs down, Hopefully my next film review will be a better one.

Bag of Bones

Last weekend on channel A&E, I watched a two night movie event called, "Bag of Bones." It's based on the the Stephen King novel and stars, Pierce Brosnan, Annabeth Gish, and Melissa George. I had been looking forward to seeing this film for about a month now and got to see a behind the scenes look into the movie, and it definitely caught my attention.

Here is a brief synopsis of "Bag of Bones."


Several years after his wife Jo's death, novelist Mike Noonan, played by Pierce Brosnan, still suffers writer's block. A dream inspires him to return to the couple's summer retreat in western Maine, a lakeside house called "Sara Laughs." Shortly after arriving, Noonan is caught in the middle of a custody battle involving the daughter of an attractive young widow, played by Melissa George, and the child's enormously wealthy grandfather. He also discovers that "Sara Laughs" is haunted and that his late wife, Joanna, still has something to tell him.

The more Noonan starts to investigate about his wife's death and the secrets of the town, more strange things start to happen. He begins to see more of his wife's ghost as a deformed swamp corpse, along with other women shown in the same scary way. He also begins to see other ghost figures, including children. It seems the more and more he investigates, the worse these visions happen to him.

While watching this film, I definitely went in with an open mind. There were some movie critics who didn't like the film because supposedly it was a lot different from the novel. In any movie I watch, I try to not base it on the book. I don't see how people can compare because in film, it's a completely different medium than a book. Both are two different ways to tell a story.

When I started watching the film, I admit it started out slow for about the first 30 minutes, but then definitely turns into a scary psychological thriller. The story also had many twists that kept me on my toes and I couldn't keep my eyes off it. The movie definitely picks up and as a viewer I was very surprised by the turn of events that happen and what Noonan learns.

By the end, I really enjoyed, "Bag of Bones." At first there were moments that didn't make sense to me but as the movie progresses, the events begin to connect. I liked how everything came together in the end and I do recommend seeing this film if you get the chance. It's on the A&E Channel and you can also see it on demand. I recommend "Bag of Bones," to check out. Even if you don't think it's the best interpretation of the Stephen King novel, it's definitely still something new to check out and you'll appreciate the unexpected ending. Pierce Brosnan did a wonderful job of staying in character as Noonan, even with all of the crazy and macob things that happen to him. Everyone was perfectly cast in this film.

New and incredible drawing created by illustrator, artist, and writer, Nima Sorat. Just like me, he has a turn on for women being strong, powerful, and sometimes a bit crazy!!!

Enjoy this drawing and quote, straight from the illustrator's mouth:

"The drawing is of some femme fatale character who shot some fella in the tub. Don't know what exactly the chap did,but she let him have it regardless. -N. Sorat
