I watched the remake of
My Bloody Valentine (without the 3D) last night. I figured it was only fair since I sat through the remake of
Friday the 13th. I'm not much of one for slasher films mostly because I am deeply uninterested in seeing an abundance of naked women in films. Let alone naked women who are chased by a serial killer for 15 freaking minutes. While wearing high heels. Which sadly is what My Bloody Valentine offered. All I could think during that sequence was 1) OH FOR FUCK'S SAKE and 2) given the types of shots they used, this movie would have been rated X if it had been Jensen Ackles running around naked for 15 minutes. Of course, it would have been a far better movie if it had been Jensen Ackles running around naked for 15 minutes.
Then again, at least Jensen got to have some sort of depth of character at the end of the movie, even if it was maddeningly mild (jeez just go for over the top already!). Poor Jared Padalecki was the most boring man on the planet in Friday the 13th. He is looking for his sister and he'll have none of your boobs or short skirts, thank you very much.
I kind of wish the two of them would get cast in better movies. They're not terrible actors on Supernatural; they can emote when given good enough material. I'm not asking for Oscar-worthy movies. Maybe just a decent action flick or thriller? Hey, it looks like Jensen might be in
the next Resident Evil movie. As long as it's more like the first one than the third one. ;-)
