Written and directed by Darren Lynn Bousman, this movie follows two brothers who come to believe that the date 11-11 has ominous connotations for them and their family. It’s a movie with heavy religious tones, so it may not be for everyone. Personally, I think it’s gonna piss off atheists and zealots alike. Which I’m guessing is why my unbelieving brother didn’t like it so much. That and the fact that he hated the motive, thought it was impossible to “win”, and he hates – and I do mean hates – twist endings.
But oh, the twist is good!! At least as far as I’m concerned. The whole story is good. I liked the motive. Sure, there were no rules, but I think that was the point.
We both did agree that the movie was scary. DJ and I cursed at the TV more than once. It also had a good cast, good direction and great effects.
DJ does not recommend the film of course, but I do. You just have to go in with an open mind.
I suppose I could list my favorite movies here, but instead I'll give you a strange glimpse into what makes me TaraRomero.
1. I love comic books. I'm particularly into anything X-Men related and everything Harley Quinn.
2. My celebrity crush is Chris Evans (AKA Captain America). He's even more political than I am and he's not afraid to show it, plus he's really, really hot.
3. I love baseball and more importantly the Boston Red Sox, even though I've never even been to Boston. LOL
4. If I won the lottery tomorrow, after paying off my debts, I'd buy a smallish house somewhere in Southern California. I have got to get out of Texas.
5. My cartoon hero is Tina Belcher. Her and I share a soul.
6. I've been rescuing dogs since I was a teenager and firmly believe that fur babies belong inside and on the furniture.
7. I'm very much addicted to Hallmark Channel. I love their sappy movies, especially the Christmas ones.
8. I have 2 tattoos. An "E" on my ankle for my first lost fur baby. And a ladybug on my wrist named George after George Romero told me he liked it. May he RIP.
9. I'm a bit of a night owl. Not that I go out a lot, it's just that I prefer to be up at night and asleep during the day. I'm a vampire like that.
10. I have an unhealthy relationship with potato chips. My favorite are Herr's Sour Cream & Onion.
