Tonight I saw:
Fire In The Sky - After hearing so many good things about this flick and people calling it the only truly scary alien abduction flick I needed to see it as I am a fan of the genre. This movie stays true to the praise it gets, while it may not be scary to everyone it certainly is very creepy in the flashbacks to the actual abduction. As its from 1993 the alien prosthetics are less convincing but still look creepy and not the usual little grey men. Acting and story are good and overall it is one of the better films in its genre. Next movie to see like this is the forthcoming Dark Skies...lets see if it breaks the recent mould of bad abduction flicks!
Girls Against Boys - This is a new rape revenge flick but its not as violent or disturbing as the likes of Last House on the Left and I Spit On Your Grave. The actual rape is off camera and then the victim gets together with a girl she just met to find revenge on the guy that raped her. The actual "revenge" part is not that great either, when they find the rapist, off screen body part removal so again nothing can be seen. Once thats done the woman she becomes friends with becomes obsessed with her and things turn lame. Wont spoil it for those who want to see it but the last half hour is not good at all as you can tell what will happen. The ending was also cliche so overall its not a great movie. Im not saying I enjoy watching rape scenes but I prefer rape revenge movies with balls and violence. This was a bad effort! I know a lot of people did not like I Spit remake but I did and this movie makes it look like a 5 star flick!
