Phantoms, a review by Dragonfire

Phantoms

My Thoughts

I enjoy this movie overall, though the book it is based on is much better.  Too much has to be condensed or completely eliminated for the story to have the same feeling as the book.  The movie does have a creepy atmosphere and some decent action scenes.  The pace does move a little slower, which might bother some viewers.  There is more attention given to building suspense instead of just relying on special effects like some movies do.  The effects the are alright, though they aren't overly impressive, especially what is the major effect for the movie.  The plot is interesting even though it isn't as developed or strong as it was in the book.

I enjoy this movie even though the plot could have been stronger and more suspenseful.



I did get a review posted on Epinions if anyone wants to take a look.

Symbol, a review by Tom

Symbol

My Thoughts:
A strange movie. It is two separate storylines which only come together at the end in a very strange way. One story is about an Japanese-Mexican family where the father is having a wrestling match that day. It is a rather straight forward storyline. The other is very strange: A Japanese man is imprisoned in a very strange white room with a lot of "switches" in the wall. Each one of these does another, often bizzare, thing. You watch him trying to get out of this room and often funny ways and you see him getting more and more desperate. This is a movie I can recommend again.

My rating:

Valentine's Day Episode Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

Sabrina the Teenage Witch: Season 2 Episode 17: The Equalizer
Roland the Troll returns on Valentine's Day. And this time, he's gotten Harvey out of the picture and stolen Sabrina's heart.

My Thoughts:
While still enjoyable... I didn't care for this one quite as much as the Valentine's Day episode from season 1. For some reason I never cared too much for the character of Roland.

My Rating:
