My Thoughts:
Seems I watched this one once before and didn't get much out of it. Guess that is what I get for watching it before the earlier films. I loved it this time I watched it! Knowing all about the psychic and her team before going back to her childhood home really helped. Who would have thought! LOL Now I am excited to get my hands on and watch Insidious: The Red Door.

X-Men: The Last Stand, a review by Dragonfire
My ThoughtsThis movie is entertaining, but I don't think it is as good as the first two X-Men movies. Nightcrawler is done and there is no explanation for where he is after it seemed like he was going to stay with the X-Men at the end of the second movie. Gambit is still missing. The plot, or should I say plots, had potential that they didn't reach. After all the set up for the Phoenix/Dark Phoenix story in the second movie, the way he was dealt with in this movie failed. The origins of Phoenix is completely different, though I suppose the explanation in the movie is easier for people not familiar with the source material to follow. Jean/Phoenix ultimately ends up not doing much and the chance to do a story about Phoenix is wasted. The plot connected to the cure is interesting, but it also isn't that developed. It could have been a more powerful plot if there was more time devoted to it and how some of the mutants were tempted by the cure...or struggled with the decision to get it. As it was, mutants were just shown showing up and waiting in line to get the cure. The impact of the cure - specifically as it relates to a few characters - isn't fully dealt with it. Each of the stories would have worked so much better if they had been in their own movies instead of crammed together into one. I still wonder how much the change in director played a part in the plot. There is an interesting scene after the credits that seemed to have potential for future movies that so far haven't happened.
Overall, the movie is entertaining, but it isn't as good as the first two movies.
I did get a review posted on Epinions after first seeing the movie in the theater.

DS9 6.08 Resurrection

Director: LeVar Burton
Cast: Avery Brooks (Captain Sisko), Rene Auberjonois (Odo), Michael Dorn (Lt. Commander Worf), Terry Farrell (Lt.

This time around, two characters from the mirror universe come to DS9. Mirror-Bareil and mirror-Kira. I never found the character of Bareil very interesting which made this episode rather dull.
