I liked Wrong Turn much better than Cabin Fever. Ironically, I own CF, and not WT. I am a true child of the horror genre, and have been avidly watching them since I was about 10. I love em, regardless of how cheesy they can be. And yes, I am fully aware of the cheese factor.
I felt Cabin Fever left too much unexplained. Where did the disease come from to start? Yeah, I know, the dog had it. The hogs had it. Where did THEY get it?
And the freaks from the general store, what was their deal? What was the kit they had? They made a big deal over it (reminding me vagually of the ever so famous line, "Bring out the Gimp"), only to have them all killed off, and the kit forgotten.
The whole thing was comical at best, and reminded me more of the Scary Movie trilogy, than the Scream trilogy.
Bruce Almighty we bought almost right off. I'm a big fan of Carrey, and he was great in this one. It was reminiscent of Liar Liar, in that he was playing a semi-serious character that felt he was getting screwed over, and circumstance stepped in to change it.
Anger Managment was beautiful. I loved it. It cracked me up, start to finish. I'm such a cheap movie whore in those regards. Honestly, there are few movies I don't like. If it holds my attention for at least half of the movie, then it's done it's job. I don't look for a deeper meaning, I don't analyze the plot, and I don't listen to the critics, or even other people's opinions of a movie. If the trailer looked good, and 500 people I knew all said it was rotten, I'd still go, and very likely end up liking it, at least marginally.
There are few genre's I don't like, as well. I'll just as readily sit through a romantic comedy, as a horror movie, or an action adventure Jackie Chan movie.
It has to have a plot, and then I'm happy. Might be why I really don't like porno's. Yeah, I'm odd that way.
