Scream 3: More Laughter Than Screaming An odd movie that would make people laugh more than scream! I personally got mixed reviews of this movie from friends before I saw it. Some people loved it while others said it sucked. I wanted to see this movie the night it went into theaters, but tickets were sold out! :( Plus, my friend wanted to see "Down To You" instead! Oh well!
Here's the plot:
Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) is now older, and seems to be at peace in her new home. Yet still, she keeps her home secured just incase knowing what has happened to her in the past. Still the spine-chilling deaths of her friends and her mom still haunt. Meanwhile in the glamorous hills of Hollywood, "Stab 3" is being shot. Director Roman Bridger (Scott Foley) is making movie magic along with a list of young (and fictional) actors: Tom Prinze (Matt Keeslar) as Dewey, Sarah Darling (Jenny McCarthy) as Candy, Jennifer Jolie (Parker Posey) as Gale, Tyson Fox (Deon Richmond) as Ricky, and of course, Angelina Tyler (Emily Mortimer) as the ever famous Sidney.
From out of the blue, Cotton Weary (Liev Schreiber), the man who was originally accused of murdering Sidney's mom, and his girlfriend, Christine (Kelly Rutherford), are brutally murdered at Christine's home. Yet Cotton and Christine are only the beginning of the brutal killings that soon take place in young Hollywood. All of the sudden, little by little, the cast of "Stab 3" are being slained, and the killer's main target is once again, Sidney.
And there's another mystery going around besides the murders of the "Stab 3" cast....what happened to Maureen Prescott in the 1970's and what does she have to do with (*fictional*) 70's actress, Rena Reynolds???
That's the main plot to the whole story basically. With the return of Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox Arquette) and Dewey Riley (David Arquette), and of course, as whole new cast of helpless victims and allies, "Scream 3" makes it's mark as the final chapter in the "Scream" series.
"Scream 3", unlike the first and second ones, offers a little bit of suspense, and a bit of comedy with Parker Posey's character, Jennifer Jolie. It's unpredictable to see who the MAIN killer is (although I guess a lot of people know who it is already even though they didn't see the movie). I have to say, I found most of the characters quite amusing. That's probably why some people thought this movie was a bit of joke.
Yet I liked "Scream 3", and I must say, I'm glad I FINALLY got to see it! :) I wish the "Scream" series would continue, but I'm glad it ended the way it did. Plus, once you see the third one, it connects the first and second "Scream" to the third one. And after you see it, you kind of think to yourself, "Oh...it all makes sense!"
"Scream 3" didn't leave a lasting impact on everyone who saw this movie, but that's only normal. Yet to all "Scream" fans, the final chapter is truly intense and not to mention unforgettable, and is a true classic that will eventually go down in film history along with it's predecessors ("Halloween", "Friday The 13th", etc.)! :)
