the eye spy

the whole premise for the eye is pretty darned cool, and the look of the film is nice - its VERY sharp and clear and I assume digital. BUT, its just fucking boring. I want scary movies that are MEAN. As flawed as The Ring is, at least its MEAN. Gothika had a bunch of those cheap scares in it, but without giving away anything, it is at its heart a NICE movie like "what lies beneath." FUCKING BULLSHIT! Fuckin' weak ass horror/thriller movies.

I think there are some cultural things in the eye that bug me too, like the music. Whenever theres some sappy love shit going on, its THE WORST music you've ever heard. I dunno - they just have a different aesthetic with some of their shit i guess. YUCK!

Saw some decent previews though. ACTUALLY, there's a new Ashton Kutcher movie that looked kind of cool and it TOTALLY LOOKS LIKE THEY RIPPED OFF JON! Its about this guy who discovers a way to go back in his past. He can pause time, rewind, or whatever. So, he goes back to change something. Then other shit goes wrong. So he keeps going back and shit gets worse and worse. Looks pretty rad. I can't tell for sure, but it looks like in one scene he does some REALLY violent shit, and then rewinds- yeah, probably all weaker than JONS story is/was/coulda/woulda been, but still neat.
