DVR recorded movie ratings #25

Okay, for some reason I recorded a movie which I thought I hadn't seen. I knew what the movie was about after seeing the name and jumped on it. After watching the first five minutes, it seemed somehow familiar. After 10 minutes passed, even my hubby had said something to the same note. Then I went on to summarize the movie and I came to my blog and noticed that I had not reviewed it. Very few times has that occurred and it's quite upsetting because I really want to keep track of movies I've watched at home on my DVR. I've watched a few other movies that weren't recorded and most I don't blog about because it's simply not worth it at all. But anyway here goes...
  • Red State: This was the movie I was referring to when I said that I had seen it. This movie was done by Kevin Smith and SO not like his other movies. Some dumbass teenagers want to get their fuck on and they go to a trailer where some haggard older lady lives. Ya, three teenage idiots are planning on fuckin this one lady, cause you know, it's a fuck and nothing else. Well, they get more than they bargain for. Get knocked out and one awakes to find out he is inside a cage and taped/tied up. Someone pulls the cover off the cage and he sees his friend nailed to a cross and about to be crucified for some religious thing. Somehow, the caged boy manages to break free and run away only to get caught again and tortured for a bit. The movie goes on with him struggling and trying to escape. I thought the movie was okay, sadly there was this one actor who I don't really like and he kinda killed it for me. I give this movie 3 Daisy-girls and don't go out through some gravel/dirt road to a nasty looking trailer to fuck an old haggard lady. Unless you REALLY want to.
  • The Innkeepers: This was not a recorded movie  and I kind of got caught up in it. Not because it was all interesting and shit. Well, it kind of was, but I was waiting to see what would happen. It turns out that there are 2 innkeepers who are asked to stay to work for a few days and since staff is low and the inn is about to close soon, they agree to work and sleep there. It is somewhat known that the inn is haunted and the guy innkeeper has a site about it. He tells the girl innkeeper about it and they even have a microphone to record noises they may happen to hear. Well, the girl starts to experience some of that scary shit and tells the guy about it. He kind of plays it off and tells her to just relax and go with it. They decide to get drunk and she happens to get the idea of going down to the basement (where some lady hung herself) to see if they find anything creepy. It's a fucken maze down there and no fucken way would I ever go down there. Anyway, They sit RIGHT where she killed herself and the girl calls out to the lady. They feel a tingly sensation and the girl feels the lady. The guy just sits there with the recorder. She then says that the dead lady is right in back of the guy, he gets creeped out and runs out of the basement. Fuck that, I would have too. When back at the inn, he tells her he made shit up on the site and that he has never experienced anything of that sort whatsoever. He decides to leave and the girl is there by herself, except for 2 customers. She then goes to find shit on her own and she goes back down to the basement when the door closes behind her and she runs over to the doors that go to the side of the house. Those doors are chained and the next scene is of an ambulance and the guy talking to the cops. He told the cops he left after hearing scary shit and that the girl stayed. There is no explanation of how she died, but the guy was holding her asthma inhaler. I've read a few reviews of this movie and a lot of people didn't like it. I thought it was okay. I guess her death was more of leaving it up to the viewers. My guess is she either died of an asthma attack or the fucken ghosts/spirits/whatever killed her somehow. I give this movie 3 Daisy-girls.
  • Somewhere: Ooooh Stephen Dorff is aging very nicely. He plays an actor who is pretty much burnt out with being a celebrity (even though he is an up and coming actor), but still embraces it. He has the cash, the car, stays at a nice hotel in Beverly Hills, and has girls around him at all times (of course, he pays them). He gets a wake-up call when his 11-year old daughter shows up saying that mom had to go do something. He doesn't know what to do at first and still has women coming over at night while the daughter is sleeping, but is there having breakfast with them the  next morning. He takes her to wherever he is going to be making an appearance or working locations and soon becomes close to her. She makes nice meals for them and he states he hasn't had that in quite some time. The father-daughter relationship grows more and more and time passes by and he is loving it, but in the back of his mind he knows that it will not last and isn't sure if he is fit to be a full-time dad. In the end, she goes away to a summer camp and you can see how it affects him and her. This is a Sofia Coppola movie and her movies tend to be surreal and quite making the scenery speak for itself. I loved it. I give this movie 5 Daisy-girls. 
  • The Brothers Bloom: This movie was on while I was getting ready for a job interview. I saw that it had just stared and decided to record it because it looked pretty amusing. It stars Adrien Brody, Mark Ruffalo, Rachel Weisz, and Rinko Kikuchi. Adrien and Mark are con brothers, they've been that way since they were young. They come across Rachel, who has mega bucks and want it on it. She is a kooky character who had been raised indoors because she was allergic to so many things. But that wasn't really the case, and she was allergic to the aluminum that was used on the syringes. Moving on, she realizes it's a con but goes along with it since her life has pretty much been blah. So, she decides to go along with it. But this con has ups and downs, kooky turns and such. It was a very amusing movie and I wasn't expecting much, but I got a lot. Rinko was hilarious as Bang-Bang and only spoke about 5 words in the whole movie. I give this movie 5 Daisy-girls.
