I had thought about writing a blog entry, today, but I lost interest, so I changed my mind.  I decided to watch the movie, Ring Around The Rosie, instead.  Well, now I'm interested in writing a blog entry, again.

  Starring Tom Sizemore, Gina Philips, Randall Batinkoff, and Jenny Mollen.  There are others, but they are of little importance.

  Here's the product description from Amazon.com:

Ring Around the Rosie is a supernatural thriller about a woman (Gina Philips, Jeepers Creepers) who travels to the family estate and finds herself condemned to a house with buried secrets from the past terrorizing and haunting her present. When Karen Baldwin's ailing grandmother makes a final request ' for Karen to clean out the family's mountain estate and liquidate its assets, which she would be allowed to keep ' she and her boyfriend, Jeff, drive out to the family's old, sprawling run-down mansion where Karen quickly meets Pierce (Tom Sizemore, Heat, Black Hawk Down) who takes care of the horses in the stables - he's dark, mysterious, strong and commanding.

  Let's see what kind of stars ratings it's gotten so far: 1, 3, 1, 3, 4, 4.  I suppose I'm not too surprised that someone gave it four stars, but this was my favorite four-star review:

WARNING: Do not watch this movie with your girlfriend!, April 11, 2006
Reviewer: Pat Dillon (Waban, MA)
Because she will make fun of you for getting so scared. Maybe it won't happen to you, but it definately did to me. We rented this last night and it scared the crap out of me. My girlfriend has yet to stop making fun of me and that will probably be the last time I watch a horror film with her. Nevertheless, I really enjoyed and I'd recommend it to anyone looking to get scared.

  I'm kind of wondering how Pat Dillion even got a girlfriend if he found this movie scary.  But, I guess I am just assuming Pat is a male.  I suppose Pat could be a lesbian, and if so, not the one that wears the pants, most likely.

  I've never done this before, but I've decided I will leave my own review at the site.  Just click the picture above and then scroll down to the reviews.  Look for Humanimal.

  If you don't want to, or can't, read the review, then I'll give you a quick one, here.  It was all in her head... and it mostly sucked.  I'd like to leave it at that, but it's worth mentioning that it has a cheap ending.

  On a note less specific to this movie, though still applicable, I really hate... well, I'll just call them cock-tease movies.  I'm not all about the T&A.  I mean, with some movies, they wouldn't be as good if they DID have it, but don't tease me about it.  At least twice her psychosis ruins the mood.  Has her boyfriend ever gotten any?  This isn't about sex, but if you're showing two people starting to get busy, even if they're going to quit, for whatever reason, at least have the decency to whip out a tit for two seconds.

  There was even a very brief scene of her alone in a bath tub.  I mean, come on!

  But, I must give the movie some kudos.  There was one small part that I was moderately proud to see.  This harkens back to my Saw II blog entry, but I'm still talking about Ring Around The Rodsie, here.  There's a scene where she's fighting with the caretaker, and I forget the exact order of the events, but at points during the course of events, she stabs him in the leg with a fire poker, punches him in the crotch, and he's laying face down on the floor, half concious.

  She goes to her sister to get her out, and as they pass him on their way, she (the main character) stomps him in the back two separate times.  Good for her.  That's a little closer to being smart about dealing with someone trying to kill you.  Of course, the smarter thing would have been to grab the nearby fire poker and go to work on him.  You have the options of stabbing him through the back, bashing in his skull, or both.  You can even alternate between the two, just to keep 'em off guard.

  I guess I'll stop here, so as to end on a happy note.
