House of Wax - one place I would visit

Advantages: All the things I expected from a horror film and more
Disadvantages: Predictable ending

***Why did I watch House of Wax*** As an avid horror fan I do try to watch any new horror films that have been released. If the film looks really good then I head the girls to watch it, if it looks fairly average I will wait to hire a copy. Unfortunately my partner does not share my enthusiasm! I actually missed watching this film at the cinema so I rented a copy. ***Cast**** Elisha Cuthbert as Carly Jones (24, The Girl Next Door) Chad Michael Murray ...
...BFF) ***The plot*** House of Wax is remake of a 1953 film that goes by the same name. While the opening credits roll we get to see a brief scene where a couple are forced to put their child into its highchair after the father brings the fighting and screaming child into the room. As the child continues to have a uncontrollable tantrum the child is strapped it its highchair the mother gives the child a good slap and asks the question 'why can't he ...

Watch The Adoption Rates Plummet

Advantages: Scary, tense, good plot and acting
Disadvantages: Hardcore horror fans will be disappointed

...saw that they were watching Orphan I decided to sit and join them for a bit. I had heard good things about and didn’t know when I’d get another chance to watch it without having to pay anything, and wanted to see if it lived up to all the hype. Orphan is a horror film which was released earlier on in 2009, and is not to be confused with the Orphanage: a Spanish horror film which also came out fairly recently. Orphan is set in the United States and ...
...adopt 9 year old Russian orphan Esther, as they wish to give the love they had for their stillborn child to an unfortunate child who deserves a loving childhood. Esther is a fairly unusual child, choosing to wear old fashioned dresses instead of the jeans and t shirts as advised by her new mother Kate, and so she is made fun of at school. Esther seems like a fairly normal girl at first, or as normal as one could be for someone orphaned and adopted ...

Review of Orphan

Pick a child, any child.........OOOPPPPS not that one!

Advantages: strong finish
Disadvantages: first half is slow

When I saw the poster for this I knew it was going to be really bad or rather good. It took a while to convince my hubby to give it a go but he finally backed down when I gave him the 'puppies', I mean puppy dog eyes!!! The film starts out following a couple who have recently suffered a miscarriage. They already have two children but decide that they'd like to adopt another although it appears that the father wants this more than the mother. They ...
...Esther. At first Esther appears to be a real sweetie who is intelligent and bright but it soon becomes clear that she isn't all that and a bag of potato chips! I have to say that I wasn't too impressed by the first half of the film and I was in fact rather bored. The acting was mediocre and this combined with the fact that the director was trying very hard to build up a relationship between the viewer and the onscreen family which didn't quite work ...
