watching movies one cup at a time

Welcome to Ice Cubes In My Coffee :: The Caffeinated Movie Guide. I love movies and I have strong opinions about all of them. When they are great, they can change your life. And when they suck, you can at least have fun ripping them to shreds. I have seen a million movies and I have a bunch of movie facts and trivia stored up in my head - it's time to share. I'm going to be filling this movie guide with reviews on an ongoing basis, building up a large library of reviews so YOU, the movie-watching public, will know what movies are essential viewing and what movies you must avoid at all costs (hint: anything with the words "Starring Dane Cook"). I will also be posting some interesting articles and lists along the way as well. So grab a cup of joe and settle in for some movie talk!

Mirrors

Starring: Kiefer Sutherland
Director: Alexandre Aja
Year of Release: 2008
Rated 4 cups

This movie falls into the genre of ripoffs of The Ring. It’s trying to be as good as that and as creepy but it falls very short. It’s a very weak story and the characters make very sudden jumps in logic that doesn’t feel natural. They go from “You’re crazy. You need to get help” to “oh my god, you’re right! The mirrors are trying to kill us!” in a matter of minutes. Kiefer figures it all out pretty damn fast considering no one else could or even came close. There are a few gory, bloody scenes that feel very tacked on to appease the gore porn crowd. And in general this movie feels very unoriginal and spit out just to pass the time. Don’t bother.
