The Messengers - DVD Movie Review
I like scary movies. This movie was better than your average scary movie. It had creepy kids. It had crawling ghosts. It had Dylan McDermott. Anyway, it didn’t do anything original. It was like the Amityville Horror and Stir of Echoes combined. The plotline didn’t explain a lot of things. The characters weren’t really well developed.
Still, the movie had us jumping and creeped out a little bit. It was fun to watch even though it wasn’t that great a movie overall. Compared to some of the other stinkers in the genre, I think if you like scary movies, you will dig this flick.
The Golden Compass - DVD Movie Review
Whoever was in charge of the book, or movie script or whatever resulted in the finished movie “The Golden Compass,” really hates the church. I don’t know why, how, where, when, or whatever. In fact, I don’t really care. That isn’t my battle.
That being said, “The Golden Compass” was quite an entertaining movie. Between the little girl, the battling polar bear, the air pirates, Nicole Kidman as the Magisterium (SP?) and all the CGI action, I loved this movie. Really entertaining. I recommend it highly to anyone who likes fantasy movies and doesn’t have a hatred for kids stuff. I know a lot of people out there hate kids movies for some reason. If that is the case then you might not like this, but for everyone else, I think you will dig it.
I love the idea that everyone in the world has a weird “spirit animal” called a demon. I look forward to the follow up movies.
