The Fog: I am deeply sorry, but the mishmash of plots that didn't really add up were the detail that made this film sink like Titanic... The play on past and present was not well presented, and the only good scenes come at the last minutes of the film... by the way, they absolutely clash with the whole movie. The ghost story was sweet but should have been either left out or made a vital part of the whole story. This is just another movie worthy of rental but not of being seen at theaters...
The Exorcism of Emily Rose: I found it a bit weak... but very realistic. The special effects are very subtle which makes them believable. And since it deals with some dark things that everyone has in the back of their minds, the simple story works... You wake up at 3:00am and you are definitely soiled! LOL The best from this year of bad bad bad live action movies...

Corpse Bride and other sweet things...
Ok, so right now you can run to theaters and watch Corpse Bride. It is the best you will get, if you are into dark humor (I know I am). For the looks of it, Chicken Little looks promising as well...
Have you noticed that the best movies are turning out to be cartoons or animations? I guess they realy allow imagination to fly... Either that or something is wrong about suspense-thieves and cops- intrigue thrillers... Stop the remake business! Be creative!
Speaking of creative, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire looks promising as well... not too kid oriented but the right amount... I think that the pg-13 brand is a bit stupid because these days we should be honest and acknowledge that kids watch worst gorish and live things on tv and video games... and it is ok with them... A pity... it should NOT be ok with the parents... But, parents are too busy working and having their own lives, right? Anyway... Thanks to Peter Jackson for the Lord of the Rings trilogy, since it opened a Pandora Box or Wonders in matters of films of fantasy. Yay!
And, finally, since I mentioned him... Kong looks much different than what I expected... and although I hate monkeys I will definitively go watch this film!

Horror movies 2006
Ok, kiddies, you should put yourselves on watch for these movies, to be released on 2006:
1) SILENT HILLl... (Yay!)
Here's the plot: Rose cannot accept the knowledge that her daughter Sharon is dying of a fatal disease. Over the protests of her husband, she flees with her child, intending to take the girl to a faith healer. On the way, she ends up driving through a portal in reality, which takes her to the eerie and deserted town of Silent Hill. Sharon disappears in Silent Hill, and Rose follows what she thinks is her daughter's silhouette all over town. It's soon clear the town is not like any place she's ever been. It's inhabited by a variety of creatures and a living darkness that descends and literally transforms everything it touches. The human inhabitants—the ones who are left—are trapped and fighting a losing battle against the Darkness. Joined by a cop named Cybil, who has been sent to bring her and Sharon back, Rose searches for her little girl while learning the history of Silent Hill and that Sharon is just a pawn in a larger game. To save her daughter, Sharon makes a deal with a demon in the form of a little girl, and allows the forces of darkness to take the town and destroy those who tried to destroy the demon.
Strays a bit from the original plot, but doesn't look so bad... We'll see how the movie turns out... I absolutely loved the PS Silent Hills series, hopefully the movie wont do to it the same damage done to Alone in the Dark... that renames crappyness!
Release date: April 21, 2006 Director: Christophe Gars Cast: Radha Mitchell Sean Bean Laurie Holden Deborah Kara Unger Kim Coates Tanya Allen Jodelle Ferland
2) THE ATTIC
Browsing through the new horror movies in progress, this one got my attention as it works on the old fear that we have of attics... I think it is cool... But just because an idea is cool doesn't mean that it will be developed correctly...
The Plot: Emma has a strong aversion towards her family’s new house, especially the attic. After moving in, she becomes miserable and reclusive. The rest of her family also seems unhappy and unsettled. The situation escalates one day when Emma is in the attic alone. All of a sudden someone who looks like Emma’s identical twin sister attacks her viciously. Emma is convinced that someone or something is haunting her, and she refuses to leave her house until she can piece the puzzle together. Eventually, Emma suspects her parents of hiding skeletons in the closet from the family’s past and practicing evil wicca rituals. As the clues pile up, she discovers that she did once have a sister named Beth, who died twelve days after Emma was born. Emma realizes that this identical twin apparition may actually be Beth returning to life.
Coming on 2006 by director Mary Lambert... Please, please, PLEASE! Let it not be a teenagers-gone-psycho thriller! Please!
Cast: Elisabeth Moss, Jason Lewis, John Savage, Catherine Mary Stewart, Tom Malloy, Thomas Jay Ryan, Clark Middleton, Alexandra Daddario, Betsy Aidem, Denise Wilbanks, Tara Thompson, Lynn Marie Stetson
3) GHOST RIDER
This delicious find brings some hope to comic book fans... I collected Ghost rider ever since 7th grade. Hopefully the movie will keep the essence of Johny Blaze!
A film about Johnny Blaze, a motorcycle stuntrider who makes a pact with the devil that will allow him to avenge a wrongdoing to a loved one. By day, Blaze is a normal man, but at night he is transformed into a burning skeletal demon on wheels who hunts down those who have brought pain to the innocent.
On theaters July 11, 2006, directed by Mark Steven Johnson
The cast: Nicolas Cage (Let him save the movie!), Wes Bentley, Eva Mendes, Matt Long, Daniel Frederiksen, Laurence Breuls, Matthew Wilkinson, Donal Logue
4) UNDERWORL:EVOLUTION (ermm... this kinda sounds like X-MEN Evolution, but what the heck...)
A sequel to Underworld... I don't know what to make of it... The first movie was suppossed to be a big one and it blew on fans of White Wolve's faces! Yup, Underworld is, surprise surprise, a copycat of Vampire the Masquerade and Werewolves Apocalypse... both from White Wolf... Roleplaying fans know this company... The books are sweet, filled with drama and plots... But the movie was superficial and a bit taciturn...Anyway, hopefully the sequel will be better... After all, Saw2 was better than Saw1 (although it sucked the same way). It continues where the first left off and adds more backstory of the two families. Should be released on January 20, 2006, directed by Len Wiseman. The cast: Kate Beckinsale, Scott Speedman, Derek Jacobi, Shane Brolly, Michael Sheen, Bill Nighy, Tony Curran, Zita Görög
