Our rating system:
Rating :
Jumbo Popcorn= Excellent Movie : Fantastic movie and you need lots of popcorn to enjoy while watching
Small Popcorn= Good movie: Overall worth watching, a small popcorn bag will do
Microwave Popcorn= Average: If you have NOTHING else to do than watch this movie.
Empty Bowl= Bad Movie: This movie isn’t worth your time or the extra calories from popcorn so don’t bother
we started off with a fun icebreaker and then moved into reviewing our selected movies.
for our first meet we reviewed the following two titles:
- Don’t be afraid of the dark, and
- Cry wolf
DON’T BE AFRAID OF THE DARK
summary:
A young girl inadvertently unleashes a race of ancient monsters while exploring her father’s 19th century mansion. Descending into the depths of the house, Sally gains access to a secret lower level that has lain undisturbed for nearly a century, when the original builder vanished without a trace. When Sally accidentally opens the gateway that kept the creatures locked up tight, she realizes that in order to prevent them from destroying her family she must convince her skeptical father that monsters really exist.

overall evaluation:
**the general consensus was Don’t be Afraid of the Dark was a rather un-watchable kind of movie, with a rating of somewhere between Microwave popcorn and Empty bowl
*****CRY WOLF
summary:
**A group of students at an exclusive private school decide to have some fun by creating an urban legend and seeing how far it will spread. When a woman is murdered not far from the school’s campus, the students create an elaborate mythology about a serial killer known as “the Wolf,” whose motives and methods would make him a likely culprit for the recent crime. However, when other people begin dying at the hands of “the Wolf,” the students are forced to admit to their lie in hopes of stopping the killings. But will anyone believe them? And how does the real-life killer know so much about the backstory of “the Wolf”?
overall evaluation:
****the general consensus was, that while the unfolding of the events in Cry Wolf was somewhat predictable, it was an engrossing movie, and for sure a much better watch than Don’t be Afraid of the Dark, with a rating of somewhere between Small popcorn and Microwave popcorn
…
After our movie evaluations the discussion somehow shifted to Bollywood and a face off between Shah Rukh Khan and Amir Khan…
And unfortunately for all you SRK fans out there…Amir Khan had more supporters 
but I guess thats a story for another day another thread in another life in another world 
We Hope to have a variety of different genres and movies for your critique for our subsequent club meets …
so stay tuned and please join us for the next meet if the selections this week didn’t catch your fancy
Here’s hoping to have the pleasure of your wonderful participation at our next meet
Cheers!
