cave red eye Horror movies and or thrillers very seldom appeal to me so I wasn't sure what I would think of the two movies that I saw tonight. The Cave was the first on the list and as mentioned in the more positive reviews, I liked the National Geographic style photography of the diving sequences. They seemed very authentic to me. The rest of the movie was a heavy borrowing from Alien, Pitch Black and Predator, which I saw as more of a strength than a weakness. Obviously this movie wasn't breaking any ground, but I don't think that that was its intent. As for Red Eye I was amazed at how much Rachel McAdams looked like Jennifer Garner and I have to wonder if that was done on purpose. For most of the latter half of the film she did seem to be emulating Sydney Bristow more than anything else so it made sense to me. Whether or not that was intended, I found her to be more attractive as a brunette than I did as a blonde in Mean Girls. |
