Frozen good, Paris bad

Frozen - 3 stars

Simple enough setup: 3 college kids get stuck on a ski lift. They are halfway up the mountain, the staff turns off the lift, turns out the lights and goes home. To make matters worse, it's Sunday night and the resort doesn't open again until Saturday. Of course they don't have their cell phones. If they wait it out, they will freeze to death.

This was a very effective thriller. I will definitely think about it next time I am taking a ski lift up the mountain.

From Paris With Love - 1 star

Lame and boring. John Travolta shows up 20 minutes in and he injects some life into the movie for 5 or 10 minutes. Then everything he is doing gets old and tired. The movie didn't make any sense, and the fight scenes were edited so badly that you couldn't tell what was happening. There is no reason to see this movie.
