Let me start by saying there is no way I am going to sleep tonight. I do not scare easily, but this movie, The Ring , has scared the living you-know-what out of me. This film is a recycled version of a Japanese film, Ringu, but that film was withheld from release in this country, so as not to spoil the American version.
The premise of the film is that people are mysteriously dying 7 days after viewing a video tape. The tape is described as being "someone's nightmare". An investigative reporter starts looking into the story after her teenaged niece dies suddenly. The reporter, Rachel, discovers that her niece's friends also died, at the exact same time, exactly 7 days after viewing the tape. Her investigation leads her to a horse farm, a mental hospital, and a really creepy lodge.
The film does leave a few unanswered questions, which drives me a bit crazy. There is a false ending, which I found amusing because when it happened, some people started to leave. Once they realized that it was a false ending, they started to come back. You'll know that it is a false ending, because it is too neat and a bit generic (FReepers are smarter than the average Joe).
The tagline for this movie is: Before you die, you see the ring. I am not going to tell you what the ring is, because that would be too much of a spoiler.
Just do yourself a favor and see it during the day. Bring someone with you to hide under, but don't be surprised if they try to hide under you.
Now, you'll have to excuse me, I have to go turn on every light in my house.
I couldn't agree more.
Me clean the kitchen, you must be kidding.....
By the way, Go Texans!
Thems fighting words this week.
Go Browns.
Think your Browns will throw away the game for my Texans??!
LOL
BTW, I am going to see The Ring again today. I am taking Alex's mom. Alex, on the other hand, who is still scred, is taking his little sis to see Hansel & Gretyl.
No. The Browns were already charitable this year towards the Steelers and the Ravens. It's clearly "no more mister nice guy" time.
Art Model has a reserved seat in hell for stealing the team....
(/gloating)
And next we got the Jets....should be back to .500 by Sunday, why the Houston team hasn't won since week one.
Uhhh....being an expansion team 4 years ago
A win is a win.........so :-P
And heck the Iggles won too...go Philly (my NFC team).... I know you hate them!
