I Saw Scream 4 And It Was Made of Win!

If you were like me (a totally normal girl who first saw Scream as a teenager while learning to control her frizzy hair) then you probably credit Scream as one of those movies that defined--or at least was a huge part of your middle school/high school experience. I can't tell you how many times I crowded 15 of my friends onto a couch to watch the slasher flick, or how many times I crammed onto a friend's couch with 15 others to watch it again.

Also there was the time when after a viewing, me and my bff ran into the living room with knives screaming and scaring EVERYONE. Or the time we watched it at night and all the boys started banging on the windows in masks.

Scream was basically one big scream after another for me and my friends. The bigger the scream, the better.

And then they made the sequel.

And it was ok. I've always been a HUGE fan of Kevin Williamson, his meta-scripts and his ability to poke fun at himself and write hilariously self aware characters who know they are playing a role in a movie but just can't help playing the role even though they know what it means and that this isn't really a movie, it's real life, except it's totally a movie :-)



Felicity, don't date Ben! Or...I'll kill you.

But then there was Scream 3. And honestly...I can't remember a thing about it except that Noel from Felicity was one of the killers and it mostly took place on a movie set. Right?

So I had pretty much NO hope for Scream 4 when it was announced. But after hearing a LOT of good things, I decided to go see it with some of my high school friends (the friends who crammed onto my couch and screamed a lot).

And it ROCKED! Seriously, Scream 4 was Kevin Williamson making fun of Kevin Williamson making fun of Kevin Williamson. It was hilarious. And I had the best time breaking down my continually evolving list of suspects with the bff. I don't want to say too much and give anything away to anyone who hasn't seen it--because really, half the fun of a Scream movie is figuring out the baddie and seeing what on earth happens next. But seriously, it was as good as the first. Where Scream was a scary movie making fun of the fact that it was a scary movie, Scream 2 was a sequel making fun of the fact that it was a sequel and Scream 3 was about something...and Noel...Scream 4 was essentially a remake making fun of the fact that it was a remake. And it rocked!

Bonus: Adam Brody!

You should all see Scream 4, at least to see my face.

So who else saw it? What were your thoughts? And does anyone want to see it again with me?
