03.23.2006Well, I reviewed the first two, so I guess I kind of have to review #3. Final Destination 3 - if you liked the first two, you'll like this one. In a completely unexpected plot twist, several kids escape death because one of them foresees it, and the main character runs around for rest of the movie trying, unsuccessfully, to prevent their deaths. This time around the kids escape from a killer roller coaster thanks to Wendy Christensen (Mary Elizabeth Winstead). In a new twist, Wendy has pictures of all the kids that were saved by her hysterics, and the pictures tell her how each person will die.

Staying on are legendary actor Anthony Hopkins and the less-legendary-but-still-good Frankie Faison. Julianne Moore takes over the role of Clarice Starling, reportedly because Jodie Foster disliked the fact that agent Starling becomes a cannibal at the end of Hannibal (something that doesn’t happen in the movie, only the book). The movie starts with Starling about to take down a drug-dealer, Evelda Drumgo. The bust goes bad because of an over-eager partner, and Clarice ends up in disfavor with the Bureau, thanks in no small part because of an old acquaintance who harbors a grudge, Paul Krendler, played by the fantastic Ray Liotta (Goodfellas, Field of Dreams). She has a chance to get in good-graces again by speaking with Mason Verger, a former patient of Hannibal Lector’s, who may have information on where Lector is hiding these days. Mason is very rich, very powerful, and very-much missing most of his face, having carved it off with a piece of glass at Hannibal’s suggestion (with the help of a few drugs). Underneath some incredible make-up is Gary Oldman (Fifth Element, Batman Begins), doing a fabulous job when very little of him can actually be seen. Read moreThis is actually a hard movie for me to review. I remember as a kid walking through a movie theater and seeing a poster for it - the moth over Jodie Foster’s mouth, very distinctive. I had heard about it, of course, knew there was a lot of talk about it. Being 10, my parents wouldn’t let me see it. About 5 years later I had the opportunity to see it at a friend’s house during a sleepover. It was so boring I fell asleep within 30 minutes. Not a very good horror movie, in my opinion. No monsters, no gore, no scary killings. Read more08.24.2005When I was younger, I saw Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, and I liked it. And I really liked Christian Slater as Will Scarlett, he was like that cool older brother character. Ever since then though, he's pretty much let me down. This movie is no exception. Not so much with him being bad in it (not great, I'd say 7/10, passable), but everything else. For one, they made the same mistake as The World is Not Enough: they put a ditzy attractive blond in the role of a scientist, and it absolutely does not work. I cannot accept Tara Reid as someone with a brain, simply because she doesn't know how to play that role. Read more08.21.2005Forums!

Young boy has traumatic experience with <fill in the blank> that he must face again as a young man, while being scared of <fill in the blank>. Sound familiar at all? It should, if you've seen Darkness Falls. In one it's the Tooth Fairy and the Dark, in the other it's the Boogeyman and Closets. Change out the actors, and you get two movies for the price of one. In case you haven't guessed, I did not like this movie. Read moreSequels are always hard; you have to balance catering to fans of the first one, make sure new viewers aren't lost, and make it original. Final Destination 2 definitely caters to fans of the original; the whole movie is pretty much more of the same, but gorier. And this isn't necessarily a bad thing, assuming you liked the first one, which I did. The basic plot is the same: group of people avoid dying in horrible disaster, and now Death wants them dead. They are lead by someone who has premonitions (A.J. Cook this time around), and are populated by skeptics, believers, and people you know are going to die. I didn't think the movie was scary at all, but it was entertaining. There are characters killed that I didn't think would die, and they definitely pushed the gore to a new level. Of course, it's really nothing that hasn't been seen in half a dozen horror movies by now, but that's Hollywood for you. Read More
