Solid remake of Quarantine

Quarantine is a remake of the 2007 Spanish horror film Rec. This movie has been receiving amazing reviews from horror fans including myself. It leaves you on the edge of your seat, terrifying and action packed. When people hear about a remake happening so soon they suddenly think that it's probably going to turn out bad and sort-of ridiculous. However, the cast and trailer were both very good and it happened to be better than other remakes including one missed call, and The shutter. The story basically talks about a young girl who is filming with her cameraman in Los Angeles when they receive a call from a apartment.  They soon go to check it out and then make a frightful discovery regarding one of the residents and find themselves Quarantined by the government in the apartment building.  If you had seen the first movie you would realize it is the exact same plot just with new scenes in between.  Those too were also good. The action was intense and strong. Although this movie had many positive aspects of it and the casting was good, there were also some flaws to this movie.  The movie sort-of dragged out in some parts and some characters were really pointless to be in it.  If you had seen the first one you would probably be extremely disappointed with the directors of the film ; only because the plot and many ideas were the same as the first movie. Therefore the director of the first movie should be given most of the credit to Quarantine.   They had also lied to the audience and said that they had changed the ending of this movie when clearly it turned out to be basically the same. So, lying to the people, and remaking a film less than a year? Not such a god start with directing. on a  whole though, i thought this movie was really good and it leaves you completely freaked out in so many parts. I do advise anyone to watch this movie , so don't be ignorant over a movie with subtitles because it really was an amazing film

GiiRLL CRAZY MUCH?

You ever heard of the line "You don't know what you have till it's gone"?  It seems like every one's blind to who actually likes them, Everyone meaning guys. We all know of course girls mess up almost as much as guys, but when it comes to things such as "committed relationships", they soon forget what the word "committed" means.  I think most girls fall for the wrong person some point in their life but mostly because they fall to quickly.  As soon as their date looks like Brad Pitt , many girls think this might be the "one" for the rest of their lives. Yeah, most of the time teenager relationships are no fairy tale endings.  I don't know about you but I'm always asking myself why can't guys grow up to be a little more mature, then to be girl crazy and want more than they already have? It's like their only satisfied with more and more girls. I'm not saying all guys are but most girls get heartbroken over these reasons and it's honestly pathetic. I mean, are there any decent guys for girls to look forward to?  Unless the shoe is on the other foot, that's when guys start to complain and they soon to ask why are they always the target? I think the reason to immature guy minds is because they're afraid to get hurt first and it might affect their "tough guy" image ; but they should only know its not impressing anyone but maybe the other jerks that are exactly like them. All I'm saying is that girls should watch who they fall for and give it time before their head over heels with their so called prince charming ; because you never know what he might turn out to be.
