Seven Days (2010)

There aren't to many movies that surprise or shock me anymore.  I had a great time sitting and watching this movie. It is more than your average torture horror movie.  It has a typical story of revenge but there is much more to the movie than just guts and gore.  I have heard some different views on the movie and being brutal and sadistic.  It does have a little bit of originality to the scenes of torture.  Was it a tough watch for me? No. I really got engaged into the movie and the character development.  You really see the main character spiral into the depths of hell.  Honestly to sum it up A dad seeks revenge on man that murders and rapes his daughter.  Really is a powerful movie that will bring you into the insanity.  Type of movie that covers all types of emotion with the main character and the victim.  I would say watch it if you enjoy engaging and well constructed torture horror movie. 7/10

Tooth Fairy (2010)

"Do you smelllll what The Rock is cooking".  Yes I do actually and it was this terrible movie. If The Rock is cooking anything it smells like burnt sugar that someone farted on.  My wife turned this on because was on one of the premium movie channels.(Think goodness I didn't pay to watch this movie or waste a Netflix delivery). Dwayne Johnson stars as Derek Thompson Tooth Fairy.  He is minor league hockey player and is just a plain ole asshole.  He is forced to become a Tooth Fairy for one week.  Blah blah blah. It is a typical "learn the error of your ways" style of family movie.  I really hope Dwayne lost a bet on playing this role.  It also stars Ashley Judd as his girlfriend Carly. Julie Andrews also stars as Lily the head Tooth Fairy.  The part with Seth MacFarlane as Ziggy is probably the best scene in the whole movie.  Really don't waste your time on this movie unless you want to see The Rock in pink spandex.  I am not a huge fan of Dwayne but I would rather be watching him kicking someones ass and blowing shit up. 3/10

Exam (2009)

A movie that is based in one room with 10 characters.  Wow doesn't sound like much of a movie.  I was pleasantly surprised by Exam.  Really a great movie with great characters and dialogue.  It is smart well written and keeps you guessing the whole time. I caught a trailer of the movie on The Human Centipede I think and was very intrigued by the movie.  And that we finally have it available in the US and on Netflix Watch Instantly it was one that I was going to make time to watch.

The movie is directed by Stuart Hazeldine and tells a story of 8 highly qualified candidates to join a secretive and powerful company.  They are sat in a room with no windows and are told by the Invigilator (Colin Salmon) to answer one question and have 80 minutes to answer the question.  They are told 3 rules that they must obey or be disqualified, don't speak to him or the guard in the room, don't soil their paper and they can't leave the room. Once the test begins they all turn over their papers to find them blank on the other side.  They all seemed confused as there is no visible question. One of the candidates starts writing on her paper and is quickly kicked out of the room.  Once the candidates realize that they can speak to each other they start to try and figure out what  is the question and what is the answer.  Then they start to discover its not what the Invigilator said it is what he didn't say.

It is not a fast paced thriller to keep you on the edge of your seat.  It is a slow burn that slowly starts to unravel at a steady pace.  The acting was superb in my opinion.  The characters start to reveal their true personalities as the movie goes along.  So the character development really kept me into the movie. I can say I really did enjoy the movie.  I gave it  7/10.
