The Thing- Cheap thrills, mediocre story, but the graphics were worth seeing on the big screen. Forgettable movie, but It was entertaining and a decent date night movie overall.
Dream House- Not the ghost movie I was hoping for. I guess I should have watched the preview. I knew within 20 minutes 'who did it', but they were trying so hard to generate suspense and create clever unexpected twists it just turns into a weird convoluted waste of time. I feel like it had potential to be better but it just fell flat.
Real Steel- I really thought this was going to be live action Rock'em Sock'em, but it was much better than I thought it would be. It turned out to be a cute little underdog story. My son loved it. Stupid and ridiculous but I loved it anyway.
Haunting in Connecticut- I love scary movies and ghost stories. This one was fit the bill. Pretty cliche scares. It had a decent back story and the acting was good. It had suspense and some good boo moments. I was really interested it because it was 'based on a true story', but as usual I was disappointed. Aside from it being a funeral home and the son possibly having cancer that's where the similarities end. The real family sounds so crazy they could have written a drama about them.
