Review:::Dead In The Water, Twixt, The Cottage

Dead in the Water (2002)  

I so wish Netflix had an "It was OK" rating.  I didn't necessarily not like it (2 stars) - but I didn't like it either (3 stars).  So...here I can give it 2 1/2 stars.  The twist at the end redeemed it some.  The characters were pretty wooden and the dialogue seemed forced.  I was expecting a little more from Henry Thomas (E.T.)  Definitely not his best role.

 

The Cottage (2012)

I am a big David Arquette fan so this is almost painful to write...but this was not good.  It was slow and the characters were wooden and very two-dimensional.  I felt the whole cult part was not explained efficiently as were the roles of the daughters.  It was just lacking.  There just seemed to be sections missing from the plot.  I can see where they were going - I just don't think they got there.

Twixt (2011)

Not bad.  It definitely isn't what you expect from a Francis Ford Coppola movie.  The Godfather this isn't.  Very low budget but Val Kilmer's impressions were hilarious during his writing scene.  I actually re-winded and watched that part again.  Bruce Dern was typically manic - but that was ok.  It worked here.

Super Bowl Sunday - 15 Hottest Guys of the NFL

On this Super Bowl Sunday, Jordan, my now 15 year old daughter, thought we needed a new "Hot Guys List".  She has already been working on a list for 2013, but we felt, because of the Super Bowl, this one should be NFL based.

Before you get to the end...I will say that # 1 is the only one we agreed on.  There was much bartering and discussion over the rest of the list.  Numbers 2 and 3 were where most of the disagreement went.  I was nice and let her pick the # 2.

Here is our list...enjoy:
