Brain Freeze -- MAJOR SPOILER ALERT

Last warning -- this whole post is a spoiler:

Having just watched Disney's Frozen, I was unfortunately reminded of this turdfest of a film, and finally had to comment.

Now before you go all "you gotta suspend disbelief" on me, let me just say... no. I'll suspend nothing. That's not how I enjoy a movie, and I've watched and enjoyed Monsturd (2003).... about a killer piece of shhh.

What Monsturd did that Frozen did not... is live up to it's title.

I could give two plot-holes about wolves and open winter jackets. The final straw for me was that NOBODY FREEZES. A fricken thriller called Frozen and nobody ends up like Nicholson in Shining. That's how this garbage should have ended. Instead, it's Frostbite. Or Wicked Cold. Frozen it ain't.

1 out of 10.

Maybe if they went with a different movie title you wouldn't be so disappointed. Like something to do with skiing or being attacked by wolves.

Ha. I'm thinking... Ski Wolf.

The whole movie is rather absurd, but I'd certainly be more forgiving with a more representative title. But really, it's not shot well either. I saw it in the theater (at the director's screening, no less) and never felt a sense of fear... or a sense how high up they were. The whole thing's shot so damn tight, it's a few good long shots short of competent.

haha...what was that other disney movie from the 90's... White Fang? Frozen Dances With Wolves. Dude, Wheres My Skis?

Anything thank just plain ol' "Frozen". Yeah we get it, it's cold up there :D

Ha. Dude Where's My Skis is amazing. Great work. I see a new thread on this board -- alternate titles. Please... start it. In honor of The Happening... which of course is... The Crappening.

That shot of Nicholson, with his eyes all screwed up, in The Shining, was not done well ~

I loved The Shining but some scenes were pretty stupid. That ^ one and the 'Here's Johnny' line...blah....

But at least he was frozen, Denise. At least he was frozen. Whereas characters in Frozen were.. i dunno... chilly.

Curious, what did you not like about that shot in The Shining? I loved the whole maze sequence.

Mr_Ram^

Hey there!

I admit that 'Frozen' was a rather misplaced title for this movie.

I can't however think of a good replacement off the top of my head.

'2 Guys & A Chick In A Lift'? 'Forgotten'? Or maybe your 'Chilly'? LOL ;)

'The Shining' ~ Love Kubrick, loved the book, and loved the film. I also loved the maze scene(s), but I thought Nicholson looked...well...'stupid' is the only word I can think of, in that scene. Plus the cut to and away from that scene (the editing) was rather awkwardly done, IMHO.

Thanx for asking and nice chatting with you!

I'm willing to Overlook that minor discrepancy.

I used to have the Willem Dafoe living under my bed.

It's very fair to say... I am not willing to overlook this. Ha.

Consider Hatchet, Mr. Green's other... eh hem... masterpiece. Imagine the killer using only... oh I don't know, a meat cleaver, and not a hatchet. Same thing. As a matter of fact, is a hatchet even used? Goodness, I can't watch it again to find out.

Am I being anal? Yup. Titles matter.
