...action is to straddle the thin line of hip irony and ride it until it breaks. The early scenes of BW2 are entirely self-aware and play like a wicked little horror satire, from the inspired opening montage to, even better, a group of awestruck foreign tourists that stare at the trees with wide-eyed wonder while babbling about Coffin Rock and little stick figures. These are the glimmers of the film I dearly wish Berlinger decided to pursue. Instead, he has his troupe camp out in the woods and, after a night of drunken revelry, awake to find their...
...Yankee, Andy Pettitte, would, when his turn came, stare down the same tunnel with a look of smoldering Sicilian sanpaku.

Fight the impulse; if you must gaze at the Corrs, buy a poster, not their album. It's easier to stare at them when that bad pop music isn't distracting you anyhow...
