Mini-Review: This movie is all over the place in a way only an 80s movie could be: an R-rated horror film with Corey Feldman and Haim providing appeal for kids. Graphic violence and solid acting by Sutherland and Patric mixed with cliche 80s BS and a gratuitous sex scene set to 80s music that interrupts the story in the weirdest way (Q:what's happening to me? A: ...let's have sex) And Diane Wiest is thrown in for good measure. Overall a very fun, if confusing, 80s mess.

Mini-Review: The main problem with this movie is that it just doesn't go anywhere. Clearly the author of the book felt the need to write a follow-up to the success that was Silence of the Lambs, but didn't have any good ideas. Nothing good about Silence of the Lambs finds its way into this movie, so while the performances are fine, the characters are not really the ones we loved from the last film and the story isn't nearly as compelling. Plus it loses points for the unearned ending...

Mini-Review: I think there was promise in the screenplay, which is why talent like Brosnan and the great Chris Cooper signed on, and there are good moments scattered throughout, but it is inconsistent and seems to be unsure of what story it is telling. Pattinson surprised me at times, and disappointed me at others, and it is probably largely his fault both that film doesn't feel terribly cohesive and that it was marketed as a romantic film for Twilight fans, which isn't what it wants to be.

Mini-Review: Really a shockingly bad movie considering the quality of Spider-Man 2. At many times I thought "this must be a joke." It wasn't.

Mini-Review: This is an amazing movie.
