I only saw this movie for Alexander Skarsgard. Seeing him with his shirt off was worth $10. Everything else in this movie is total crap. Great review. Right on the money.
@askarsfan2011 Thanks a lot I'm glad you agree. That one was pretty hard to sit through, but at least you got something out of the topless Skarsgard lol.
Rotten Tomatoes: remake= 42%, original= 91%....huge difference! Have you seen the original? I can't imagine how the story would be THAT much different. I didn't see it (and I usually only watch your reviews of movies I have seen), but I still enjoyed the review and probably WILL NOT see the flik.
@Beaniann Yeah that is a huge difference! No I haven't seen the original but if Dustin Hoffman is involved then I'd hope it'd be pretty decent. This is one of those movies that you definitely don't have to rush to... ever.
I think you did great on this review, Eric . (Eric, right?) The review made me laugh and actually think if I wanted to see this or not. You made it sound so bad that I don't ever want to see it. I love when Corey sends me your reviews. They're so entertaining to watch, and I enjoy seeing how others thought about the movie. Your reviews, are by far, my favourite to watch, ever. Bravo! Great review on a shitty movie.
@KCS012345 Yup I'm Eric. Thanks a lot, I'm really glad you liked the review! I'm also glad that you don't ever want to see the movie (you just saved an hour and a half of your life) lol. I'm also happy to hear that my reviews are your favorite to watch, thanks a lot for that, that tells me that I'm doing something right. I'll try to keep it up. Thanks again!
I didn't have trouble sitting through this 14 minute review because it was entertaining and you hit on good points, but you did fumble and repeat yourself a lot and I think it could have been cut down more. That aside, it was funny at times, and I liked the beginning and how you tied the straw dog in with what you were saying at the end of the review. This movie seems like an aggravating pile of shit.
@m1ndp0wers Ya, I watched it again and while I find that the majority of the quick cuts where you cut yourself off in mid sentence, could have been redone, it doesn't really take too much away. Though times when you fumble with what you're saying like when you said, "the husband's inside..." 1:16 and where you say, "that's not the worst part..." 7:59 and then repeat again after the cut that it's not the reason, could have been either cut or redone.
@m1ndp0wers Also I feel that when you talked about Lincoln in the closet with the girl, you could have made your point quicker, and at 10:23 when you say, "brought him..." could have been redone. It's fine when you're acting like the characters and fumbling, or you're angry, but when you're just trying to explain something and you fumble, it just doesn't look good. It was still entertaining though.

Favorite part, and something I was saying just before you said it:
Ex-boyfriend - "Well did he give you a reason not to trust him?"
Me - "Ya, he fucking...
Eric - "Ya, he fucking walked into my house uninvited!"
Me - LOL

@ShawnNovella Good, I'm glad you thought it was interesting enough to sit through. Do you know what parts you think I repeated?
