The Strangers (2008)
The first half is tense and taught; it toys with the audience and gives them only enough well-calculated chills to generally startle. It's unfortunate that the last twenty minutes undo such hard work, causing the film to sink lower and lower into the depths of horror movie cliche. The final scene is embarrasingly contrived. Liv Tyler is magnetic, the real scares are icy, but ultimately this is forgettable.

The Relic.
I loved the book and had great memories of the movie. However, ten years have not been kind to the movie. On my second viewing, I got so bored I went to the refrigerator. (NOTE- when I write that I went to the refrigerator in my pseudo reviews, it's bad.) I'm going through all of PRESTON and CHILD'S books and I thought it would be cool to watch their one movie adaption. Wrong. They changed so many things from the book that I became resentful and bored. It was ALIEN meets JURASSIC PARK. This is an example of why I often really don't like to watch a movie more than once. I like to keep the original impression in my mind. Often , repeat viewings ruin my pleasant memories. Anyone else have an opinion on this movie or book?
