Ready or Not-- My take on the movie with spoilers!

PLOT SUMMARY: When Grace is told to play a game of hide and seek on her wedding night, she doesn't realize the game is anything but innocent.  Marriage can be very tricky when you come to think about it. Sure, you may sort of know your partner for a long time, and who knows how much can you really know about someone? Then there are the in-laws you need to deal with. Imagine becoming a part of someone else's family, living with them, sleeping and eating under the same roof...I mean, these are people you barely know, but somehow, the second you sign a contract, you're part of the family. Of course, in this situation, the bride has more challenges to face, considering she has to give up her last name and her home to come live with her husband and in-laws. Ten years down the lane, will your partner still be the same as when you met them first? Or will the pressures of starting a family, growing old, and being financially stable take a toll and crack the marriage? For some, it m

Ghost in the Graveyard-- My take on the movie with spoilers!

PLOT SUMMARY: When Sally returns to town following the death of her friend during a game of GHOST IN THE GRAVEYARD, she can't imagine why everyone in town is keen on protecting her.  Every time I see kids in movies playing in the woods, that too after the sun has gone down, I wonder where their parents are. Do the parents know that their kids are playing hide and seek in the graveyard where sometimes fresh graves are dug and left out open for them to fall in?

Itsy Bitsy-- My take on the movie with spoilers!

PLOT SUMMARY: A family moves into a new house only to be stalked by a giant spider.  We’ve all heard the Itsy Bitsy Spider nursery rhyme as a kid. It seemed so innocent then, didn’t it? It’s about this little spider trying to climb up but getting washed down by the rain. Does the spider give up? Nope. As soon as the rain stops, he climbs again. Whether or not he succeeded in this endeavour, is never revealed. Perhaps this is why I never developed a fear of spiders. Spiders seemed so innocent in the poems and stories we read as kids. And they did get rid of the pesky flies.

Wounds-- My take on the movie with spoilers!

PLOT SUMMARY: Will's life spirals out of control when he finds a phone left in his bar. Just in case you thought a wound was an opening to whatever gooey, gristly thing is inside you, well, here comes a movie to make you freak out about every cut you may get. Wounds has plenty of drama and every sentence is punctuated with profanity. It’s actually a story about a guy, Will, who owns a bar. Basically, he takes everything for granted and doesn’t care much about his surroundings. He’s the kind of guy who gets everything and wants to sustain this mediocrity. Except, like every human being, he wants more. But that is buried so deep inside him that it takes a weird incident to jolt those hidden desires. In the first scene, we see evidence of this.  WOUNDS Movie Plot  Will is at the bar, attending to his friend Alicia and her new boyfriend Jeffrey. He has a job at the bar, a girlfriend, and good friends. He should be content right? Except we see him unsuccessfully trying to hide his disd
