Few movies: Red Eye, The Island, The Descent
Wes Craven's Red Eye was a nice thriller: compact (just 80 minutes or so), exciting, fresh and with relatively few plot holes. It was quite nice and certainly slightly better than we expected. Worth watching!
The Island has all the trappings of a big summer movie: A-list stars, it looks gorgeous, the action is fast-paced, the idea is clever... Too bad most of the movie was about unlikely chases. Scarlett Johansson, who's a good actor, after all, focussed on being a pretty little lamb and the movie was chock-full of product placement. The plot holes were huge, gaping monstrosities and the whole movie was way too long. Not good!
The Descent, in the other hand, is one of the very best horror movies recently. With no supernatural elements, the movie relies on the environment to build up the pressure. That works, as going into dark, claustrophobic caves is something I would abhor and avoid at all costs. I was bloody scared from the beginning! Excellent movie, definitely worth seeing!
