Casey Beldon is a college student who begins experiencing strange dreams, but theses dreams began occurring for a reason. After being haunted, she decided to look through her deceased mother's items to understand the real cause of her mother's death, and to also detect if there is a link between the haunting, and her mother's death. As Casey searched through her mother's items, she found a picture of a woman whom she traced, and would ultimately explain what is haunting her.
The opening scene was engaging, and I was automatically focused. From that scene the momentum was steady as the story developed, but the momentum subsided, inviting the film to lag specifically in the scenes where Casey is socializing with her friends.
The suspense in the film was adequate, and there were many scenes that induced the audience to scream like little girls. It was a scary movie, but the evil entity in the film was not defined in the same manner that, for example, Freddie or Jason was. This entity was an evil spirit searching for a body to manifest itself. The explanation of the evil spirit's intentions through the dialogue was executed well.
This is a standard horror movie that was scary, but not extraordinary, and the ending of the film was somewhat anticlimactic, but over all the film was fun to watch. According to metacritic.com the film received generally negative reviews, and according to rottentomatoes.com the film earned 6 fresh tomatoes to 40 rotten ones. This film gets a C.

The Amero
I hope Mr. Turner is wrong, but if he is right, life will be a journey of mass poverty for this generation and the forth coming generation of Americans. Our economy is in trouble.
The Disappearing Male
This is a very revealing documentary about the ever decreasing male sperm count, and the sudden decline in male births. The supposed explanation for this phenomenon is the plethora of birth defect inducing chemicals that is pervasive in our environment. These chemicals are found in baby bottles, toys, and even lotions. If this trend continues, far less humans will populate the earth one hundred years from now.

Near Dark
Near Dark was one of my favorite films to watch as a youngster. I have happy memories of watching this film with my cousins. This is such a great vampire movie I remember it till this day. Thank goodness for the internet. Hopefully I can find it on DVD.

Fight Club Revisited
Fight Club is one of those films that is suited for the rebelious, and confined. This film appeals to those who eagerly want to transform their life because they feel confined by either their daily routine, the fear of losing their job, and the fear of being ostracized for not being conventional. These individuals create their personal version of Tyler Durden in instances where they imagine behaving how their rebelious tendency would like them to, except, their personal version of Tyler Durden is not externalized.
