I watched Barbarian last night. I had heard that it was best to not watch the trailer so I didn't. I was really enjoying the movie until the second act. The first act was fantastic, it built tension excellently and had me in suspense. The second act stumbled for me, the shift in tone with Justin Long's character felt a bit off, but suspense was still decent. By the third act though, I had decided that the movie was going in a direction I was not interested in. I would have loved to see more of the history of the house and the monsters rather than the one scene, which to be honest, was not enough to explain the old man.
**SPOILERS** I also was confused for certain character choices. If the old man had the gun the entire time, why did he only shoot himself once Justin Long appeared? How the hell and why were all those tunnels built? The lead female pissed me off. I get that we all are compassionate, but she cared far too much. I don't know, the movie had great potential, but after the first act I wasn't feeling it. |

I'm too lazy to google but it starred Powers Boothe for the supernatural one, I think. Identity or the movie you already stated? LOL.

I dunno, I thought it was a nice change and there are clueless ppl like that...well, not to the tape-measuring scene extent haha but to his behavior re his colleague and how he 'explained' to his boy.

I thought the scene about 'the father' was really good. The way the camera was right behind him all the time made me feel like you were there with him. Also, that scene was a very creepy and effective way to show his history and how 'the mother' came to be. Another thing about that scene was how the neighborhood originally looked vs how it looked now. It added atmosphere imo. |

I really wanted to like A Christmas Story Christmas, but I just couldn't. I'll watch it again WITH people, but I'm done

Because this is something that could actually happen. As much as I love Halloween and Halloween II, that kind of stuff isn't real life. |
