So I’m not one to write movie reviews, generally because I have a weird taste in movies–anything scary but not torture, comedies but not slaptick, weird but not too weird. I really wanted to see Vacancy when I saw the trailers for it, but I wasn’t sure how good it would be. Luke Wilson has a track record of having the same acting manner in a lot of his roles. I really liked him in The Royal Tennenbaums, but other than that, I’ve never thought he was hot and as an actor, he’s never really impressed me. And Kate Beckinsale, well, is alright. She’s a good actress, she’s pretty cute, but she isn’t anyone that really jumps out at you, you know? But the movie just appealed to me. Maybe cause I love scary movies, or maybe the whole creepy-hotel thing looked fun–either way, I saw it tonight.
I loved it! The movie was only an hour and twenty minutes! That’s pretty short but it ended up being perfect because it ended at the right time.. nothing got drug out, like you often see in movies (cough, cough.. Identity). And, to my surprise, Luke Wilson did a great job! He put on some weight.. whether it was for this movie I don’t know.. but he looked so good! Very sexy and did a great job in the movie. Kate Beckinsale did a great job with her American accent and, as usual, did a great job acting. I was pleasantly surprised. There weren’t really any slow parts and there wasn’t anything in it to suggest a crappy sequel. Just a flat out, good, suspense/thriller movie. If you like scary movies, I suggest you see this one!
Oh and, if you’ve ever seen the movie Swimming With Sharks starring Kevin Spacey, you probably remember the guy the boss always picks on–Frank Whaley. He was great in that movie and he’s resurfaced and did a great job in Vacancy. But it is probably easy for some guys to play a creep.. right?
Here’s a blurb about the movie:
In the new thriller Vacancy, Luke Wilson and Kate Beckinsale star as David and Amy Fox, a young couple stranded out in the middle of nowhere after their car breaks down. Checking into the only hotel in the area, they find nothing to do except watch TV. Strangely, however, the low-budget slasher flick they watch turns out to have been filmed in the exact room in which they’re staying. And when they discover hidden cameras surrounding them and filming their every move, it appears that they are the new stars of another grisly movie, already in production. (Source)
So here are some pictures below of Kate Beckinsale and Luke Wilson. They’re both hot and now I have crushes on them. Go see the movie and tell me what you think! I can’t wait for it to come out on DVD.
