Mirrors

A movie where your reflection is evil.

The trailers looked great. I couldn't wait to see this movie. And I wasn't dissappointed.

I am a horror movie junkie. It's not often you get to see a really good horror flick. Sure, slasher films are a dime a dozen, blood and gore are everywhere. But give me a good horror movie with a good storyline and I'm hooked...

Mirrors had a great storyline. And the gore scenes, even though there could have been more for my taste, were great. In my favorite scene, a woman rips her jaw right off of her face.

Kiefer Sutherland plays Ben, a former dective running from his "demons" and trying to piece his life back together. He gets a job as a night watchman and the horror begins.

I recommend you see this movie. It is a good ride. Check it out on the IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0790686/.

I give Mirrors 4 stars: because the movie did pretty much, well, ROCK!

Until next time, dear readers... Happy movie watching!!

Get to Know Sour Orange... Why I Love Movies

I love movies. It's a passion of mine. Nothing helps me to escape reality more than a good movie. Sometimes, a good movie can bring me closer to reality. Movies are like that; they touch you if written well enough.

I love movies for so many reasons. There are the memorable moments:



you know, those moments you see in a particularly great movie that just stick with you for hours after the film is over.


Then there are the moments in movies that just make you crack up, laugh, and sometimes squirt Pepsi out of your nose:



you know, those crack me up, make me go nuts, belly hurt from laughter moments...


And let's not forget the moments that bring tears to your eyes:



happy tears or sad tears, those moments seem to be so powerful that they provoke a significant response from your core being...


And then, my favorite movie moment of all, those moments that scare the crap out of you:

moments that make you freak out at the littlest sound outside your window; images that haunt your dreams...


The greatest movies have at least two of these moments, in my humble opinion. Make me laugh and cry in the same film and you have yourself a lifetime fan.


Movies are made up of a series of moments. Just like life. However, in the end, I think that most of us watch movies just to get out of our own life now and then. Take us away from our reality and be whisked away into a land much different than the one we know and love...


So, why do I love movies? I love movies for the moments. I love movies because I like to take a vacation from reality, even if it is only for an hour or two, once in awhile. Movies do that for me. And I hope they do the same for you.


So, why do YOU love movies??

Hellboy II: The Golden Army

So, have you seen Hellboy? It's actually a fantastical, comic book like movie about a demon baby, who was brought up from hell from Nazis and recruited by the "forces of good" to help fight the "forces of evil." The first movie has a lot of what you're looking for in a good "dark comic" movie; action, romance, and above all, colorful characters. The story was great, and the movie was fun to watch.

I was excited to see a sequel to Hellboy. The villains looked even more intriguing, and the new characters seemed to be interesting. All and all, the movie was good, but it lacked something the first movie had: a good, fulfilling ending.

Hellboy II seemed to end abruptly, making you thirst for more. You know by the ending that there will be another in this series, and I have a feeling it really won't measure up. Just a gut feeling, but I really think that it will pale in comparison to its two predecessor.

Hellboy II was, all in all, a good watch. Like most sequels, it wasn't as good as the first, but it was good. You got to be thrust into that comic book world again, and even got to know Hellboy's friends a little better. Actually, you got to see what it would be like to sit and have a few beers with them.

I give Hellboy II: The Golden Army 4 stars: because when you watch it, you feel like you are in that world.
