Reviews and whatnots..

Movies:
"The People Under the Stairs"

I have oddly seen this movie before, I think I was around 12-14 years old when I saw it for the first time. At first I was like, "what a ridiculous movie!" and well that was the end of it. I believe a grammar school friend of mine came over to my parents house and brought it with her OR I went to her birthday party and saw it there. Anyways, I have seen it like 4 times total as of recently. Today, oddly enough, it was on BET channel and well I talked myself into seeing it. Nothing else was good on and it doesn't hurt to see it again or at all. It seemed to me like a low budge film at first glance and well wondering now if it was a book first then made into a movie or was it just an idea spilled out there and well, it was made. Basically its a kid from the ghetto who's family is getting evicted from their home and well, need money in order to pay what needs to get paid. Friends of his decide to rob people and oddly enough these people are not ordinary and do carry cash or old coins. As the story progresses, the guys get caught in the home and well have sudden deaths, the kid is the only survivor. He realizes that strange things happen in the house, along with a little girl living there under...strange circumstances. If interested in reading more of it, you can check it out here. Surprised its directed by Wes Craven, but it makes total sense now....why its different and well weird. If you like thriller, old school movies, twisted plots and somewhat happy endings to all of that, this is your movie to watch!!

Tv movie:
"Bag of Bones"

So the ending to it was today on A&E channel. A repetition of part 1 was before the conclusion and well a repetition of both parts followed afterwards. I really liked how it ended, he gained what he lost in the beginning of it...its how I see it. Sadly for him to go through every event he went through, but in a really good way he did...as like clues. He had dreams or daydreams of what happened in the town he was staying to write a story for his company. Plot twist is involving his wife with it and then twisting it to his past and well another lady from the past. He wondered why his wife was so interested in this lady and well, she found out how she was tied to her husband. He of course in the end of it all, knew why he was having those dreams and how it tied it to him. I don't want to give out anything if you didn't see it, but let's just say there's a curse involved within the whole story, but it was broken in the end of it all. I really like it and like I said before, stuff like this by Stephen King, makes me want to write again. Yet every time I want to write about a specific topic/event, its been done by him already....I'm sure of it. Hopefully I can find a good topic or so he hasn't done and well, finish it well. Sadly, if you missed seeing this movie I am not sure when they will repeat it on tv, so check your local listings for that!!
