Do I have high Movie standards?

Posted by on May 11th, 2008

Okay,


This post is a bit off topic from my usual SSDS type posts (which I will be returning to shortly).  However, this post will focus on two movies which I recently rented and I have to say I was a bit disappointed with both.


The first movie, Cloverfied, which had all kinds of internet buzz around it was my first disappointing rental.  The Blair Witch style movie style coupled with the, IMO, lame storyline really sunk this one for me.  Also, I watched the special features at the end and there was all this talk that the monster was supposedly calling out for its mother or something to that effect.  How in the heck were you supposed to glean that from the storyline???


The second, which I just finished watching, was 30 days of night.  This looked pretty cool from the trailer, famous last wordsI suppose, but I was kind of left hanging at the end.  Don’t get me wrong, I think this one was better then Cloverfield but still I feel like it didn’t quite make the grade for me. 


So, do I have high Movie standards?
