I was hoping to see a good, found footage movie about Bigfoot in "Willow Creek". Instead what I got was a bunch of half-wit interviews with locals (& no credible witnesses, I mean I get it was a movie but at LEAST ONE witness needs to be credible) & some of the WORST interaction between boyfriend and girlfriend ever put on camera.

Jim and Kelly decide to go retrace the infamous Patterson-Gimlin Bigfoot footage of 1967. Kelly is a non-believer while Jim is determined to get footage. I will not give away any spoilers because THERE ARE NOT ANY! This movie NEVER gets going. Where as Blair Witch Project was interesting while slow moving, Willow Creek has 12 minutes of interesting things happen. The ending looks like it was shot by a 7th grader and you are left wondering WHY IN THE HELL DID I WATCH THIS FILM??? Bobcat Golgthwait wrote and directed this. I hope like hell he NEVER HAS IDEAS LIKE THIS AGAIN! Willow Creek is dried up. Avoid!

So I just got finished watching Rage (The original title was Torarev, a type of Russian firearm ). I was pretty in to it actually and that is a HUGE surprise given that Nic Cage pretty much will do any film now for a few dollars. And then...the ending happened but lets review the whole thing shall we? Nic Cage plays Paul McGuire, a reformed criminal whose daughter gets kidnapped one night while hanging out with 2 of her male friends at her house. My 1st complaint is that this girl (who is very cute) is hanging out with 2 of the biggest losers this side of the Mississippi. I mean really? Anyways, lets move on. Danny Glover (who REALLY needs better roles...c'mon it is DANNY F'ING GLOVER) plays the lead detective and assures Paul that they will find her and to "let the cops do their job". Glover's talents are wasted with a horrible script for him. I really wished they has used someone else for this role. Anyways, Paul does not heed the police at all. Paul decides to get the "old gang" back together and busts some heads to find out who took his daughter.

I was really into this movie despite less than stellar acting. Cage plays Paul as a legit grieving parent, one who knows his past very well may have caught up to him. The lengths he goes to try to find out what has happened to his daughter does not seem that far-fetched to me. Kane (played by Max Ryan) is worth watching in the film with pretty decent acting. The rest of the cast is average-bland (but Aubrey Peebles sure is easy on the eyes though!) The biggest problem I had with this movie is the last 15 minutes made me wanna kick something (or somebody). It is like when you watch fireworks and the last one is a complete dud. Up until the last 15 minutes I was ready to give this movie a solid 6.5 rating, BUT it dropped to a 4.5. The end will just make a LOT of the early parts seem rather foolish. Not horrible (like most people up here say) but not amazing either.

Decent action film with a horrible ending.
