Boo.....The Ring Two

Ring Two


Soundtrack


A coworker was offered free passes to see The Ring Two , Wednesday, the day before it opened. She doesn't like scary movies, so she asked me if I wanted them. I said Yes. Scary movies about ghosts and space aliens and such don't really bother me. As long as it is not realistic then I can deal with it. Now, if it is about some mass murderer or something, then thats what scares me and I don't like those. But the ghost of a little girl at the bottom of a well.... piece of cake.

The screening was hosted by KLSX FM. I got in the really long line. Dern, I haven't been in a line where practically everyone was smoking cigarettes in such a long time. I don't know if its the Horror Movie fans, or the KLSX listeners that are the chain-smokers. But I am somewhat allergic. And since having the walking pnuemonia over the Christmas holidays, my lungs are still pretty sensitive. So whenever one of the people in line lit up, I would start coughing.

Somehow my friend flaked out on going with me. I called him on his cellphone. He muttered something about his cellphone not working and not being able to call me. Great...I would have to go to the screening alone. Just then, a coworker from
a different department joined me in line, and soon a third coworker joined us.

We sat in the very first row of the theatre. But this is good. At The Arclight, the first row is still way far back from the screen. So actually the first row is the best row - at least in the theatre we were in.

What can I say about The Ring ? Its ... the Ring. This second installment is alot more scarier than the first one. And the special effects are alot better than the first one. There were quite alot of moments where I was covering my eyes, hiding from the terror. But the other thing I like ... it is so unrealistic, that I don't get to scared. Just enough scared.

Naomi Watts is great as the mother trying to save her some from the evil ghost.
And Sissy Spacek is great as the mother locked away in a mental institution. (Even tho the LA Times review said she resembled Michael Jackson in her wig.)

The audience viewing Horror movies are the interesting bunch to watch. The strangers sitting next to me just absolutely howled with laughter at all the scary parts. It sounded to me that they were thoroughly enjoying being frightened.
