Fangirl Friday 5

Fangirl five Friday is a weekly meme host Nancy Drew is my Homegirl and what it's meme that has you list the top five things you've been fangirling about this week.

1. Cabin in the Woods: I saw Cabin in the Woods this week and it was one of the weirdest films I've ever seen but it's also probably my favorite horror movie I've seen. I overall really liked the film but I don't feel like I should say much about it since I don't want to give away too much about it.

2. Vampire Diaries: I really loved this weeks episode with the 20s dance in which most of the cast dressed in clothes in the style of that era. I also was really emotionally effected by this episode and I felt like a lot happened. I also enjoyed all the sweet Stefan and Elena moments we got.

3. Revenge: This was another exciting episode and I felt a lot happened. I really just enjoy this series and I feel like there's always a good amount of entertainment value and then ever now and then they throw in a  good twist which they did in this episode.
4. The Darkest Powers series: I've finally started reading the second book of this series and I love that the pace at the beginning of this book was still pretty fast like it had been at the end of the first book. I also love that it seems like some questions I had at the end of book one are starting to be answered.
5. Fruits Basket:I've finished my reread of Fruits Basket this week and I still love the ending of the series more then any other series. I also loved seeing the last few couples get together including my favorite couple of all time. I really loved seeing all the characters grow up so much over the course of the series which is one of the reasons why it's my favorite series.

Movie Review: The Cabin in the Woods

                                                The Cabin in the Woods Review

Cabin in the Woods is about a group of college students who go away to party at cabin in the woods for the weekend but then they are all killed off one by one. Although this plot line sounds just like a lot of other slasher films it's not for several reasons first off you actually care about the characters, my favorites were Marty and Dana. The second reason is because the movie explains why characters in horror movies make such dumb choices.

Spoilers will appear for next couple paragraphs. I really liked seeing everything that happened to the college students was engineered by this weird underground facility that was full of people who made sure that at least five of them will die and how they were all okay with the roles they played in their deaths.I found the workers to be pretty enjoyable to watch even though they were clearly fine with doing immoral things. I found it both interesting and sick that in a way the young people would choose which way they would die.

I like the whole idea of each group that is sent out is divide into six roles and that the workers insure that they'll fight their stereotypes. The characters and their categories are the whore: Julie who we actually doesn't seem like a whore because the only guy she ever got close to having sex with was her boyfriend. Then there's the athlete: Curt and the Scholar: Holden. Then there's the fool: Marty who ironically was the only one that wasn't completely fooled about what was happening to them and he actually was able to survive despite the workers plan and for a quite a while without their knowledge. Then last there is the virgin: Dana who isn't actually a virgin but they work with what their given.

I loved that Dana and Marty were able to find out what was going on in the end and although I found the ending really quite odd and I didn't completely understand it was still satisfying that there were at least some answers given. I also loved that all the monsters were released on the workers because it felt like karma for them all to die horribly, I was also shocked at how much blood there was towards the end but I loved that they were willing to make it so gory.

No more spoilers. I overall really enjoyed the film and I liked that it's different from everything else I have seen so far. Please tell me your thoughts on the movie.
