The plot: The film follows the parents (Goldwyn and Potter) of Mari Collingwood (Paxton), who attempt to get revenge on a group of strangers, led by a man named Krug (Dillahunt), that have taken shelter at their home during a thunderstorm.
I think Sara Paxton, Tony Goldwyn and Monica Potter all did a excellent job.
Its a good movie, just not that nesscary.

The Plot: After spending time in a psychiatric facility, young Anna (Emily Browning) finds significant changes in store at home. Her widowed father (David Strathairn) is now engaged to her mother's former nurse, Rachel (Elizabeth Banks). One night, the ghost of Anna's mother appears, screaming for revenge and accusing Rachel of murder. Anna and her sister, Alex (Arielle Kebbel), start to investigate, but they may be unprepared for the lethal battle of wills that ensues.
Both Emily Browning and Elizabeth Banks are excellent in this film.
A good horror film.

I preferred the first one. This seemed like it was going great and then that end bit just seemed to appear out of nowhere. I didn't understand quite why she was so upset by it. Instant WTF? moment. And then later on, right before the end, the bar scene and her vow for revenge...also another WTF? moment. In my opinion Tate, what they'd done wasn't so bad, so now I'm debating whether to read the last one.
I'd love for Jameson and Tate to get together but if it's as much of a mind-f*ck as the first two books I'm not sure I wanna read it.

The plot: When an inner-city Detroit foster mother (Fionnula Flanagan) is murdered in a botched holdup, four of her now-grown adopted children suspect it was no random killing. Rising musician Jack (Garrett Hedlund), former-Marine Angel (Tyrese Gibson), hotheaded hockey player Bobby (Mark Wahlberg) and settled-down husband and father Jeremiah (André Benjamin) go on the hunt for neighborhood criminal kingpin Victor Sweet (Chiwetel Ejiofor) while being trailed themselves by the local beat cops.
The cast is good, the action is good, the suspense is good and its a good thriller.
