Little Miss Movie Reviewer

This week I did two movie nights. First I watched Boondock Saints. I'd never seen it, but I'd heard so many people raving about it that I decided to give it a chance when I saw it was on IFC Wednesday night. 



I can't help it. I like mobster movies and TV shows. The Godfather. Goodfellas. Mob Wives (Bet you weren't expecting me to list that one!). Overall I liked Boondock Saints, and I'd watch the sequel. I suppose you could say it's a dark comedy, and I was totally in the mood for that. It was just one of those nights Wednesday. 

Thursday I went for something a little scarier, The Resident with Hilary Swank and Jeffrey Dean Morgan. 



Talk about messed up (and a little boring if I'm being honest), The Resident is about a young, single woman who moves into an apartment rented from Morgan's character after a being cheated on by her ex. The landlord develops a crazy obsession over the woman and stalks her endlessly. Probably not the best choice for me to watch since I'm a young, single woman on her own, but it wasn't too scary. In fact, I kept hoping it'd get a little scarier but it never happened. It was creepier than anything and creepy in a way that you saw coming all along. =/
