Final Destination 3 (2006)


A student's premonition of a deadly rollercoaster ride saves her life and a lucky few, but not from death itself which seeks out those who escaped their fate.

The same story all over again; entertaining, if you want see ever more inventive and implausible ways to bite the dust.

Maltin *1/2: "They used the word "Final" in the titles of two predecessors - but they lied."

New Stuff: Lykke Li


Ever since I was active at MySpace and found her there I wanted to get this album.


The Invasion (2007)



As a Washington psychiatrist unearths the origin of an alien epidemic, she also discovers her son might be the only way it can be stopped.

Although fairly well made this space invasion thriller adds nothing new to the genre.

And on second view:  no new opinion; you constantly have the feeling you're watching a rip-off of Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

Maltin *1/2: "Third remake of INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS is not the charm, as this mess never comes together as sci-fi thriller and human drama it seeks to be...Widely reported reshoots couldn't salavge this film."


New Stuff: My Bloody Valentine


I already got the dowload version a few wekks ago, the cd itself came yesterday.
