Red Riding Hood

Yes, I saw this movie. "Why" you ask? I'm a sucker.

I'm a sucker for Catherine Hardwicke. "Why" you ask?

I don't know, I just am. I loved Lords of Dogtown(come on, a roller skating camera operator? Sweet!) and I loved Twilight. (I read every book and I'm happy about Rpatz as Edward!)

That said, I did not love Red Riding Hood.

This film was SAD. Yes, I give this film a rating of SAD.
Not only was the acting as pathetic as a kindergarten Christmas play, but the editing SUCKED, the score SUCKED, the production design SUCKED and the script SUCKED.
Amanda Seyfried can do NO WRONG, in my eyes. (Hello, remember Mean Girls?) but how in the hell did they get Gary Oldman and Lukas Haas? Come on!!Weird.
Shiloh Fernandez is oddly handsome, in a Joaquin Phoenix way, and I love Joaquin, so eye candy went well with my flask. Max Irons was robbed of any possibility of greatness, as was Billy Burke, Julie Christie and Virginia Madsen!?!?!

The only way to see this movie is very much the way I did. See it with the 6 women you see all the Twilight movies with, pack a flask and create a drinking game based on actions in the movie.
Example:

• Each time Amanda pulls her red hood off or on, SWIG.
• If someone is sewing, SWIG
• If a character sighs deeply, SWIG
• If Niki Reed is in the film, SWIG

Oh, and be sure to whisper and crack up Aloud, a lot.
