Lost Woods. I tried to watch it on Youtube. It was bad, and I turned it off.

Had the same issues with this one as I had with House on Pine Street, which were the repetitiveness of the scare effects (sounds, furnitures moving and doors opening and closing). Would have been such a cool ghost flick if what it did at the very end had been used throughout the entire movie. But with that being said, it's hard to be really annoyed about a movie that doesn't contain a single dull moment. Unless you find movies about haunted houses dull, then you're probably better off watching something else.

lolz! Ditto...if there's an element like a ghost of a creepy old lady in your story then heck! you should exploit that one as far as you can. As a low budget horror feature it's a passable watch for the haunted house movie lovers only and I agree about the repetitive scare factor issues but House on Pine Street was a better film, IMO, at least in terms of direction, story development & the 'doors'!

DOWNFALL (2003). Very good depiction of the last couple of weeks of The Third Reich, based on Trudi Junge's recollections (Hitler's secretary). ****1/2

Or maybe quit living in denial and admit you like these movies.

Maybe all of them? The inhumanity!

Ride Along 2 (2016)
This was so bland and boring I quit watching. I'm surprised I lasted an hour.
Tried watching the rest the day after but I turned it off after a couple of minutes. A PG-13 Ice Cube is just sad and Kevin Hart gets more annoying every time I see him. That guy is so unfunny it hurts.

God Kevin Hart is annoying. Why'd you even bother?

Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003)
4/10

"Unrealistic"

The thing that irked me the most was some unrealistic action. Which may sound odd or insignificant to some, but for those who respect the original's documentary style immersion, and remember this remake's "police film" opening, a cartoonish action shot can nudge that car off the suspension-of-disbelief track for the duration.

What was the scene? While Morgan "male friend #1" was running through the bountiful amount of sheets hungout to dry, Leatherface completely lops off half of Morgan's leg with one swing of a chainsaw. It's just physically impossible... Why include that? That's not horrific, that's comical. There's more poorly designed action violence... like when Leatherface stands still while Biel takes multiple chops at his arm. Is this the director of Toxic Avenger?

And when the film has little else to offer -- with unlikable boorish protagonists, sketchy shallow plot, flat villains, and a host of routine horror cliches and shots -- don't diminish the horror with unrealistic action violence.

R. Lee Ermey did a great job as the sheriff. Eric Balfour, as Kemper, held the story together by its threads. Jessica Biel's body was ridiculous, but her character was shapeless and uninspiring.
