The Hitcher

This horror/suspense/slasher flick stars Sophia "We've Got" Bush and some other no-name actors. Well, actually there's this one guy I recognize from The Rock movie where he was wielding a big stick. I know you ladies wouldn't mind seeing that. The Rock's nemesis in that movie, whoever he is, was in this movie. Beautiful thought he was hot.

Anyway, this movie, considering the genre, was pretty entertaining. There's nothing better than an hour and a half, light movie that lets you escape from reality for a while and doesn't make you think. It was pretty riveting. It had enough action and blood to keep my attention. Not like Saw blood, but enough that made me say, "Damn!!" Sometimes, I think I'm Black. Or colored. Depends if you're racist or not. Which I'm not. I love the Black man. Not in a gay way. Show me the money!!

Okay, got a little off track there...

So, this movie was about the typical college-aged couple going on a road trip to meet the girl's friends so they can talk about how he is in bed and typical girly $hit like that. That is what you girls talk about, right?

They end up giving this sketchy guy a ride and I'm pretty sure you can figure out what's going to go down for the rest of the movie. I won't ruin it for you. Let's just say that it was kinda fun watching even though it was kinda predictable. Well, you might know WHAT'S coming next, but you probably won't know HOW. Actually, with all the mistakes the couple made, I'm surprised the movie didn't last only 10 minutes.

Whenever I watch these types of movies, a few questions always pop into my head:

1) Why would you give a total stranger a ride? Are you not feeling the creepy vibe?

2) If you're trying to get the attention of another driver while you're driving, wouldn't you concentrate on the road and make your passenger flag down the other driver? Probably save you from getting into an accident or two.

3) If someone is clearly trying to kill you, but you somehow injured them, wouldn't you check to see if the person was really dead? Wouldn't you at least keep running him over with the car? Maybe that's just me.

4) If the cops were after you and you know you didn't do a damn thing, wouldn't you just turn yourself in and explain? Beats having even MORE cops chase you.

5) I know I'm always in the mood, but do you really have time to ooof in the shower when a killer's after you? Or does it somehow heighten the pleasure? I knew rape was a good thing.

Pretty good movie if you're into scary movies. Deena liked it. I liked that she liked it. I personally find horror/suspense movies to be quite funny. I like to guess when someone's going to die or just appear out of nowhere. Or maybe laughter is my defense mechanism for dealing with fear. Either way, I'm usually entertained. I think the last time I was truly scared while watching a movie was "Sixth Sense". Other than that, not really. Actually, "Strictly Ballroom" scared the bejesus out of me 'cause I was so horrified that someone would have the nerve to make such a piece of $hit.

I give this movie two funbags to grab onto while having two minutes of hot shower sex as you get poked two times, once by a blunt Johnson and on the second time around, a long, thick, sharp knife...
