Late Movie Reviews

I've totally been lagging it up on my reviews lately so here are a few quick ones in a nutshell.

The Unborn- 6/10

Decent movie, however slapping the PG-13 rating on this one didn't help it any.  I did enjoy the dog in the dream with the rubber human mask. As for the scare factor though there wasn't too much that wasn't predictable.  They tease the medicine cabinet scare almost to overkill.  Ending is decent but I didn't think the exorcism part of the movie was very well done at all.  I can't particularly say why, I just never got into it.  The "80 year old Bryce Havens" running backwards up the stairs and then having his head spin around 360 was also hillarious and a highlight of the film.

Defiance- 7/10

Good movie, but rather depressing going Schindler's List style here. This one is about rebel Jews who hide out in the forests and build an army to fight off and defend the Germans.  Daniel Craig plays a good role.  A bit too long though.

Inkheart-  5/10

Good fantasy family film.  I'm not a huge Brendan Frasier fan but this movie wasn't terrible.  Basically Frasier plays a guy who tells stories and they come to life but when characters come to life in our world, someone has to take their place in the storybook world.  This particular person being his wife and his daughter's mother.  This one is along the lines of The Golden Compass but slightly better.
