50 flightplan and the corpse bride

flightplan with jodie foster has grossed 70 million at the box office and still gets people to the theatres. the reviews were very bad and i did not want to see it, but if a movie can still draw people after 6 weeks or so it must be good word of mouth. i took my chance. the movie started of really bad. it was obvious that the director tried too hard to impress but failed in doing so. i also did not get the whole 'let's make the audience doubt from the first minute wether the main character is crazy or not' effort. you already know who the bad guy is after 15 minutes and you just want to see how the storyline will evolve. thankfully enough the storyline was interesting. i was constantly thinking: how will they make this last for 90 minutes, but they did. the end is poor of course, but the movie was entertaining and that's what's i mportant

tim burton's corpse bride is totally different. it's creepy and funny and i loved it. i was a bit too tired while watching the movie so i did not fully appreciate it as i would have in an awakened state of mind and there were too little laughs, but i liked the story and the idea and the gothic charm of it.

i did sneak in the theatre where they played The Fog, the current number one in the states, but i left after 20 minutes. i liked the fact is was shot in new england... but apart from that it just looked like another boring hollywood horrorflick

oh by the way: the preview of SAW II is very scary but gets an AL certificate, meaning everybody can see the previes, the trailer about the two gay cowboys (one of which is jake gyllenhaal) gets a PG 13 certificate... explain that to europeans...
