Jason and Shawn review: The Girl Who Kicked The Hornets' Nest and Frozen

The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest

Jason: Wow this is a lot of movie! This is a fitting finale to a fine trilogy that ups the ante in terms of suspense and even action. There's some great edge-of-your-seat moments and nice character touches. Best of all events from the last two movies really pay off here. Everyone gets what's coming to them and there's even a surprise or two. Fans of the series will love it. Those who are new to the material will be completely lost. I'm giving it a Good, and will be buying the trilogy now that it's complete.

Shawn: This being the third installment it was by far the best one. I still found all the characters shallow, weak, and didn’t have ANY attachment to them whatsoever. Except for the supervillian. They could have played that up a lot more. It ties every other boring entry up nicely without much confusion. It is a well made series, but still sucked in my opinion. I am, however, willing to give this one a high ugly, but it's still and Ugly. I am happy to be done with this series.

Jason: Fuck this movie! A trio of boring, spoiled twenty somethings put themselves in a situation where they get exactly what they deserve. 'Nuff said! In fact it's this trio of unlikable, and ultimately dumb, characters that sink would could have been a decent thriller. There are a couple of cringe inducing moments but not enough that I'd ever want to watch it again. Writer/director Adam Green should stick to making fun slasher movies. An Ugly from me on this.

Shawn: Dramatic high point: girl pees on ski lift and loses her dignity. I don’t know, I just didn’t like the movie. The actors were fine, but the movie wasn’t really worth the hour and a half, save for a little gore and wolves eating people. Let me stress LITTLE. I’m not really sure how they could have made this movie exciting. Shawn Ashmore was great though. An Ugly on this one too.

Next on the chopping block: The Girl Who Kicked The Hornets' Nest and Frozen

Shawn will break out the whiskey and shot glasses tonight as he celebrates the final review Film Reviews From the Basement will do in the Millennium Trilogy as the executioner's axe falls on The Girl Who Kicked The Hornets' Nest.

The first two films, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo and The Girl Who Played With Fire, are his most hated of all time, which doesn't bode well for Hornets' Nest. He gave each an Ugly. What will he give the last film in the series? Stick with us!

Note: Jason will review the movie too. He gave the previous two a Good.

Then the Basement Dwellers set their collective sites on Adam Green's Frozen. Jason and Shawn dug the writer/director's slasher film Hatchet, but this movie's about three people trapped on a ski lift. Is Frozen the next Buried? Tune in tonight and find out.

And stay tuned in for a lengthy discussion on remakes, complete with audio clips of course, the latest movie news and music by Subplot A, The Sleeveless Tease and other under-the-radar talent.

The thrills begin at 10 p.m. PST on 92.5FM CFBX Kamloops and www.thex.ca. Don't miss it!

And now some previews:
