Movie review: Teeth
Jun. 21st, 2008 09:32 pm
I haven't posted a movie review for ages, have I? Well, my movie this week was one I've been looking forward to for a while.
There have been some pretty horrific movies in the history of cinema. When The Exorcist was first released, it was so shocking people were carried out of early screenings on stretchers and nuns lurked outside theatres to bless the people coming out so the devil wouldn't get them. When the last Saw movie came out, there were stories about people becoming so ill from watching it the cinema staff had to call ambulances. And I've frequently seen extra warnings on movies, like for strobe lighting effects.
Today was the first time I've ever bought a movie ticket and had the person who sold it to me warn me it's really gruesome and "are you really sure you're ready for that?"
The movie was Teeth and, yes, the person who felt it necessary to warn me was male.
( Because teenage boys SPOILER SPOILER shouldn't be funny...but it really, really is. )
I will stop short of actually recommending this movie; but if you're female and your sense of humour runs to the dark side, you'll probably enjoy it.
ETA: On a totally unrelated note - M&S fresh strawberries with vanilla liqueur cream are absolute heaven.
