37 - Frozen

    Three friends on a ski trip wind up getting stranded on the chair lift at the end of a day of skiing, leading into a week that the slopes will be closed.

    In concept, this fits into a genre of man-v-nature thrillers, and it's easier to portray the movie as being a 'serious' movie.  This seriousness takes away from the enjoyability of this movie.  When I take it seriously, I'm more bothered by plot holes.

    In particular, there are wolves in this movie.  The existence of the wolves isn't a problem.  The fact that they attack people is.  After doing a bit of research, there are wolves in New England, but they don't seem to run in packs.  They've all been loners.

    They also aren't about to attack a live person who isn't posing them a threat.

    The characters don't seem too likable, but I'm not too concerned about that.  It's more of an annoyance during the first quarter of the movie.

    With some more careful handling, this movie could have been really good.
