Occasional Movie Reviews: Cabin In The Woods
Um.
Look, it's hard to do anything new...or even good...in this genre. And movies are not Joss's medium. Plus I never go to the movies because it's too expensive and it always sucks, but Tracy and JQ made me go, and the concession stand practices extortion. Plus I ate to much popcorn with too much "golden flavored popcorn topping," i.e. "butter," on it. Bleh. That sh*t's nasty.
Whedon always has good dialog and clever bits of business along the way... And, damn, Buffy/Angel and Firefly? Nobody even ever does one thing that good. CitW is, sadly, more in the Dollhouse sector of the Whedon oeuvre. So...well...not what you'd call the good sector.
But it's got some funny bits and snappy dialog, and it's exciting to see some of the old Whedonverse faves on screen. And, again, this stuff is hard, and at least he was trying something new and...and...
Just don't get your hopes, like, up...

I loved the hell out of this movie but its pretty much aimed only at horror fans.
I'm a huge horror fan, but didn't muck like it. That seems to make me the odd man out, as it's rating over 90% at Rotten Tomatoes...
Er, *much*...
