The Mothman Prophecies - Trailer

Saw the Mothman Prophecies last night. Not a bad supernatural, sort of horror, sort of SciFi, sort of mystery, movie. Even Richard Gere was tolerable. The only thing that annoyed me was there wasn't enough time spent on the Mothman -- not much exploration at all of the title character. I suppose Richard Gere's fans would like the movie however.

10,000 BC: Trailer and Review ... of sorts

I just came back from seeing 10,000 BC with my youngest. It was action flick, and like most, it stuck to the formula -- just lacking the moments of humour we've come to expect of late. The violence was kept to at the PG level, and the movie had a good pace. It was enjoyable. Huzzah! ... for the white guy who was living peacefully in his village, minding his own business of hunting mammoths. When his village becomes the victim of pillage, murder and kidnapping ... yes, they took our hero's girl. If the bad Arab guys, who spoke with supernatural alien voices knew who's girl they had ... well ... there wouldn't be a movie, I suppose. Along the way to rescue his girl and defeat the entire Arab army -- who for leisure, encourage slaves in their pyramid building by whipping them -- our hero collects a ragtag army of blacks, who were just waiting for a white guy to come and lead them. It was fun, since I checked my brain at the door.
