DOOM


Great beginning to this GAME based MOVIE. The ROCK has done a great job. But something went wrong in the end. You’ll know what I mean. Rosamund Pike looks beautiful. No real story to it. Just the regular. Something goes wrong during an accident on a Mars based space lab. And ofcourse the Dead start walking….and there are wierd looking creatures (you’ll know what I mean if you have already watched Resident Evil or Dawn Of The Dead). The Rock and his team are sent to this space station to eliminate the danger. And so they try doing. Whether they FAIL or SUCCEED..watch DOOM to find out.
I would rate this as a One Time Watch on the DVD for DOOM lovers.

Since I now have sufficient time to post several reviews of flicks that I’ve seen (and enjoyed), I’ll do so. You see, unlike Mr. USC, during working hours, I’m extremely busy and can never seem to find time to update his blog as quickly as he would like. If I were to leave it up to Mr. USC, he would have me halt my job responsibilities (much like what I’m doing right at this moment) and post something….anthing, to his most beloved blog!

So, Mr. USC, this is especially for you….hope you enjoy.

The Fog


“The Fog” - not quite sure what Selma Blair was thinking when she took on this role; she plays a single mother, disc jockey withher own radio station. She’s not exactly a primary figure in this horror flick and the few scenes that she’s featured are lackluster at best.

As far as horror flicks go, the storyline was not too bad - revenge with a hint of romance - different from the usual gory details that are prevalent in this genre of filmmaking. I’m a big “scary cat”, so I jumped out of my skin at the most appropriate times in the movie. If you want scare easily, then this is the movie for you. Those that are more “seasoned”, may not be impressed.

A must see - NOT! But, if you’re bored or have seen ALL the other movies you’re dying to see, then this flick is not a complete waste of your time.

Mystic River


Great beginning and excellent build up towards the climax. Climax sucked though. Was very disappointed with the end.
Story begins with three young boys playing on the street. A couple of guys posing as cops take away one of the boys and hold him captive in a room and abuse him for several days. The boy somehow manages to escape soon though. Scene Cut. Next scene, we see the lives of these 3 kids all grown up. How that episode affected each of their lives is shown as the story proceeds. The 3 guys meet once again this time connected by a murder investigation of one of their daugters. The story twists and turns and to see what happens with the investigation and how that was related to the events that happened in their childhood watch this movie atleast once on DVD.
My 3 out of 5 stars for this one.
