I know this is crazy late but the internet isn't working at my house. I really enjoyed freeway and it’s probably my favorite movie we have watched throughout the whole semester. I think if I were to have watched this on my own I wouldn’t have gotten that it had to do with red riding hood. I actually thought this movie was really entertaining and ridiculously funny. I really like how Reese Witherspoon played Vanessa I’ve never seen her play such an interesting character. It’s weird because Vanessa was very innocent and naive in my opinion but still very intense and vulgar. I guess it was like a child she didn’t have a filter when she saw Bob’s mutations she hysterical laughed and made fun of him or when she was talking to the cops she just said whatever she wanted. I also liked how she just goes into the diner no problem after she murders someone and orders food like it was no big deal she just killed someone. I found her honesty very entertaining. I also enjoyed how unlike the original little red riding hood Vanessa manages to hold her own throughout the entire movie and it was nice to see after she kills Bob the cops show up and it’s kind of like ha she didn’t need you to show up anyway. This movie was a good laugh and I really enjoyed it.
I kind of can’t believe the semesters over it seems like yesterday we were watching La Jetee. I really enjoyed this semester. I have seen many movies I would have never picked up to watch if it wasn’t for this class. I’m excited for the movie today I am sure it is going to be something very crazy and entertaining just like the rest of the films.

Vanessa's "innocence" is one of the clever things in the film, I think, because it takes us right back to the roots of the red riding hood tale: the story of a child using her wits.
