My mother decided to watch
The Uninvited with me this evening. It was one of those movies with a mystery the audience is suppose to figure out, but the screenwriter(s) thinks he's so clever they'll never see that final "twist". Needless to say, I was worried my mother would be upset with me before the movie's end like
this time.
I called the person behind the fire 6 minutes and 30 seconds into the movie. For the record, I have not seen the Japanese movie it is based on,
A Tale of Two Sisters. I will also admit the
Sixth Sense-like ending was not on my radar. And I did enjoy the person's comment of why she did what she did. See, I don't
always get it correct.
I blame the marketing of the film. Of course the person who is made out to look like the bad guy/girl turns out not to be the one, when the whole tag of the movie has the phrase "a shocking twist you won't see coming". Excuse me, but you told what was going to happen before I even saw the first five minutes of the film on that sentence alone.
I think my mother's done with watching movies with me. When the credits rolled, she got up and left me alone in my room, mumbling a few choice words of how she should know better than to watch a movie with me. Funny, I saw that ending for our evening too.
ETA: In an effort to prove I don't always figure out the endings, I had no idea Shane would Croquet Mallet Smash! Pilar at the end of
Weeds last night.
