Journey to the Center of the Earth, a review by RossRoy
just posted these here because I use this thread as a view log. (From RossRoy's Random Viewings on November 12th, 2009) The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning, a review by JimmyMOVIE / DVD INFO: Title: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning (2006) Genre: Horror Director: Jonathan Liebesman Rating: NR Length: 1h36 Video: Anamorphic Widescreen 1:85.1 Audio: English Subtitles: English and Spanish Stars: Jordana Brewster Taylor Handley Diora Baird Matthew Bomer R. Lee Ermey Plot: Take a bone-chilling journey into evil, and witness how Thomas Hewitt became the infamous and deranged serial killer Leatherface. Born under the most gruseome of conditions, an abandoned baby is found and taken in by the demented Hewitt family. As he grows under their morbid nurtuting, Thomas develops a ravenous appetite for chainsaws and torture. This is unfortunate for four teens captured by the shady local "sheriff" and brought to the Hewitts' sadistic house of horrors. There, the teenagers must fight to surivive as Thomas' murderous desired are unleashed and Leatherface is born. My Thoughts: Typical horror movie made in the years 2000: it's very violent, bloody and over the top. No that it's that much of a negative but more subtlety and restraint is more efficient to create a suspense. Of course this film make the same error than many other recent horror movies do: the killer is misunderstood and he was bullied as a kid so it's not his fault if he is like that (newsflash for you filmmakers, all of us were in their youth and 99.999% of us turn as normal adult. Enough with that it's the society fault not mine crap). I won't say the evidence that this movie had too many characters (I know they wanted to expand the family, but that doesn't work). Anyway this is the R. Lee Ermey show and this is the real reason to watch this film, since he is great in this and bring back his Full Metal Jacket personality. Evidently the film is previsible, but it is called "the beginning" so you know that it won't end well for the protagonists.It isn't a great film per se, but the film is better than most recent remake.
