Mirrors, a review by addicted2dvd

Mirrors
Look deeper into the world of Mirrors with this thrill-packed DVD featuring an unrated cut of the film, plus over an hour of shocking special features, including deleted scenes and an alternate ending you've got to see to believe! Attempting to pick up the shattered pieces of his life, a disgraced former cop (Kiefer Sutherland) takes a routine job guarding the charred ruins of a once-famous department store. But the terrifying images he sees in the store's ornate mirrors will send him on a pulse-pounding mission to unravel the secrets of the building's past...before they destroy his entire life!

My Thoughts:
This is a movie I got with a gift card I got for my Birthday. It was a complete blind buy as I never even seen the trailer for it at the time. I grabbed it for 2 reasons. First because a good friend of mine suggested it. and also because it stars Keifer Sutherland of 24 fame. The DVD has both the Theatrical version and the unrated version of the movie. I watched the unrated version. And let me tell you I loved this movie! It is a good story... it has atmosphere... and it does not shy away from the gore either. I thought Kiefer Sutherland was fantastic in it. I will say the movie lost a little something going into the ending of the movie. But not so much to ruin your enjoyment of the movie. I also didn't care much for the very end of the movie. I mean it wasn't really bad... just I would of preferred it to be different.

Friday the 13th - Part V: A New Beginning, a review by RossRoy

WHAT THEY SAY

MY THOUGHTS

Well the series is starting to feel a bit redundant here. It also reeks of studio involvement/director sellout. I mean, it's worse than an Agatha Christie novel! Always the same plot, just a different setting! They did try to mix things up a bit, but boy did it fall flat on its face and I can't even think of a single reasoning how they thought, even for a mere second, that it would work and that fans would still like it! (well, I guess fans did like it enough.. after all, there's still 5 movies (6 if you count the Freddy crossover, 7 with the remake) to go! (click to show/hide) I'm talking about the fact that "Jason" here is a mere copycat! With a different mask to boot! I can pretty much sum up my feeling for this installment with a single onomatopoeia: meh! Is it me who is different? I mean, you could do a "Friday the 13th" in 60 seconds very easily. Line up 10 teenagers, have them each say their name, then have random sex, because we all know you need boobs to sell a horror movie. Then have Jason kill each of them from behind, one after another, in rapid succession. Have the last person finally notice what's going on, pull a knife and drive it into Jason's head. Cut to mental institute, add quick dream sequence of imaginary Jason attacking. Voila! Friday the 13th in 60 seconds! (click to show/hide) Ok, it's not actually for a Friday the 13th, but it's close enough: http://www.angryalien.com/0605/freddyjasonbuns.asp But then, that's me being a bit harsh. It did keep me entertained. It's just gotten to a point where the movie is just too predictable. But I give it points for having an actress who actually bears the name Voorhees: Debi Sue Voorhees who plays Tina. And she's incredibly beautiful! And we get to see her naked!
