Overall though, in my opinion it's one of those movies you see once and debate whether or not you should of paid to see it.

are there naked titties? some of those chicks are hot and if the movie sucks well at least you had naked titties as a cosolation prize.

What the fuck are naked titties? Couldn't you have just said topless chicks?

Topless chick is simply a chick sans-top.

Naked Titties are titties sans-covering.

A chick could be wearing a top, but still have some naked titties.

All topless chicks have naked titties however*.

*Unless they are wearing pasties which then introduces the discussion of what actually is required to make something a "top"

Ripe · 04-05-2008, 10:07 AM

Wait... is it considered topless if they take off their shirt, but still have a bra on?

If someone says "titties" in reference to a movie, I better see full boob and nip, therefor "naked titties" is redundant.

All this debating on proper terminology is getting us nowhere, fellas.

Tits or GTFO. We need the answer. Or rather, I need it, because my girlfriend wants to see this and I'm not going to see what it most likely a terrible movie unless there are some Jena Malone tits.

The preview I saw for this looked terrible... Have fun Grave!

naked titties are different than just titties, all girls have titties but naked titties are titties which are unfettered by clothing or creative camera work or hands covering them up, the naked titties are shown on screen. the question is did they show naked titties in the Ruins or not ? how fucking hard is that question?

Yagaroshi · 04-05-2008, 04:54 PM

I'm not too sure which one was Jena Malone but if she has like a b - small c cup, yes, naked titties WERE shown. Quite a few good ass shots and one of those girls is in her underware for most of the movie really. Just enough to keep a boyfriend interested and make it look like you are very serious about this movies wonderful plot!

This one falls right between...

Go see for a few bikini/bra/undie/naked tittie shots and some minor gore with a few cool scenes.

Or

Just go watch Drillbit Taylor.

The OP kind of ruined one of the scenes and 'gotcha' parts to it. So please ignore it. Actually, his entire post needs to have that spoiler button added to it.

"The Ruins" was pretty good. The characters acted like real human beings for once. Realistic human behavior is something that the nutgobblers in Hollywood get right maybe 1 in 20 movies, so I would give it a positive score just for that, but it was a good horror movie on technical merits as well, and had a somewhat unconventional ending. I would recommend it.

Taloo · 04-06-2008, 10:57 PM

The book was awful and I can't imagine the movie being much better.

Cybsled · 04-07-2008, 05:15 AM

The way the movie was described on aintitcool was Day of the Triffids meets Cabin Fever.

Cathan · 04-07-2008, 06:44 AM

The blond shows her tits and she's pretty good looking, the other girl doesn't...

I thought it was slow and the "bad guy" was weak. It may win some points for originality and realistic human behavior but that's about it. Turistas was much better on the gore effect and I would give it a higher rating than this one. I saw 7.3 on IMDB and my girl loves horror but it was disappointing, hell even Bug was better as it is more similar to this movie imo...

Yep.

For those who've seen the movie, and don't care to read the book:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: Group of friends on vacation in South America get invited to see some Mayan ruins that aren't on any tourist stop and is hidden within the forest. They arrive at the ruins and everything goes to hell pretty quick. The locals confront them and won't let them leave the ruins. They freak as soon as the "tourists" touched the vines. From there they go up top thinking they're safe from the locals, when the ruins start picking them off one by one. I personally found it to be a bit slow, and not what I was expecting at all. I'm kinda mixed on this film. It was good in the fact it was different, a change of pace from your today's "run of the mill" horror movie, and it was bad because as mentioned above, it was slow. The vines that completely covered the ruins inside and out are alive, and were actually pretty creepy. The flowers on the vines could mimic sounds, especially high pitched sounds, i.e. Cell Phone rings. Which I thought was kinda cool and again a change of pace. Overall though, in my opinion it's one of those movies you see once and debate whether or not you should of paid to see it.
