I recieved this in an e-mail, so I am sot swearing to the validity to any of them. But they are fun, none the less.


Movie review here. If you haven�t seen �signs� you may want to stop reading here. Or better yet, start reading and save your money.

The movie: Signs � Rate from 1 to 10: 1 Two thumbs down. Why? It sucked! I love me some Mel Gibson, believe me, but his character was a cross between Chicken Little and Rainman. Joaquin Phoenix�s character was not much better.

I was all set to be scared to death but the scariest thing about this move was the writing and the plot. Though billed as a sci-fi, it should have been advised that the greater message here was a religious one. It was not cleverly disguised. Now, don�t get me wrong. I love religious movies. I bought �Greatest Story Ever Told� myself. But I sure wasn�t thinking it was going to be like E.T. The writing was terrible, the story line was unbelievable and in my opinion, the only thing that saved it from being a �0� was Abigail Breslin, a sweet little 5 or 6 year old whom I fell in love with. She was the only credible one in the whole movie. The most intelligent one in the movie was the 10 year old son played by Rory Culkin. Intelligent yes, interesting, no.

I watched the movie on the edge of my seat waiting to be scared� waiting for the punch� waiting for the climax. Well folks, I�m still waiting. It flopped like Dolly Parton�s boobs in a hot tub. Oh, wait a minute. They would stay afloat, wouldn�t they? Ok then, it sunk like a rock. The only good thing about it was that I rented it instead of going to the theater. It only cost me $3.50 instead of $20.00. Tonight�s vewing is going to be Robin Cook�s �Terminal� and �Invasion� . At least I have read his books so I know the stories are going to be good anyway.

You all have a wonderful Saturday!

Later�

Later,
Cosmic
