I promise this will be short; much like this film.
Well, like this film should have been.
I get it; Ryan Reynolds is trapped underground and its terrifying. I was incredibly uncomfortable during the movie; it was that intense style of film making that really makes you feel like you are in the space with him. However, I felt as though the plot lacked a serious amount of action, and it didn't follow the rise and fall of action normally associated with a story. It was more a series of events strung together while hot-boy Reynolds is suffocating to death. Don't watch this, sorry Ryan.

The Beaver
Okay. I think Mel Gibson is a hot mess who would seriously benefit from some therapy and maybe a good shopping session. It would seem as though his crazy has infiltrated his acting, leading him to choose bananas roles.
Thus, "The Beaver" was born. Gibson is the main character, a once successful business man who's life spirals out of control leaving him empty. He finds a busted old beaver puppet in the garbage and decides to use it as an alternative form of therapy. Now, as strange as it sounds, for like the first 50 minutes I thought this was cute. The beaver allowed him to rejuvenate himself, approach people with a different attitude, and get his family back together.
But then, all hell breaks lose. The beaver quickly turns to a horror film style plot line, and by the end my only response was "uhhhh, what?". I would say rent this if you want to watch the weirdness that is Mel Gibson currently, but other than that it is just going to make you have weird thoughts and worry about the sanity of people.
Really a very strange story.

Whoops.
So sorry about that whole "disappear for several months" thing. My bad.
Good news is, I've kept up with the stats and, as I expected, no one missed my movie updates. It happens. Main thing to keep in mind is that this is my personal log of movies I've seen, so no biggie if no one reads. I've been at the movie blog for 2 years now, and I have a ton of backlogged reviews to share! Since I've been blessed with a quiet Thursday morning, let's get cracking!
Just kidding. In retrospect, I really like the blog with the movie title in the top so....here goes!
