I thought this movie was full of tension and very little on gory factor. The acting was better than your typical teen slasher and that with tension made for a very entertaining movie. Jonathan Schaech portrayed a very convincing serial killer... much better in this role than in the movie Organism. Young high school girl sees her mom killed right before her eyes by a staking former school teacher who is obcessed with her. He is captured and later escapes to come after her on her porm night. Many die, and the chase is on to capture him before he can reach his intened victim. Entertaining and worth a watch in my book. 3.5 stars.

Steven Wright has one of the most unusual styles out there. His one liners are funny and at times thought provoking... mostly you're wondering how in the heck did he think it up! If you're a fan you will really like the stand up segment of this DVD. However, the stand up is only 42 minutes and the rest is a black and white movie short about a Civil War soldier musing about life... way to boring for me. My rating would have been at least 4 stars for the stand up, but the movie short was a waste of time. 3 stars 8/24/08 IW

I have to admit, Im really starting to like English dark comedies. This movie was not laugh out loud funny, but there were moments that put a smile on your face. The comedy was subtle at times and in your face in others. There were only a very few times that it seemed silly to me. Over all, it was a very entertaining movie. A weapons company sends several coworkers off for a weekend team building retreat in Eastern Europe. The team ends up in the wrong lodge and thats when they must learn to work together to save their own lives. There is ample amount of gory from start to finish and an actual storyline that makes sense. Not as funny as the movie The Cottage, but well worth a watch! 3 stars. 8/23/08

John Cusack is awesome in this movie. It's a honest approach to a man's honor and his expecations of the law and justice. A period piece western with all the elements of a very good western. Quailty actors and though brief, John Goodman's work was priceless. Cusack plays a horse rancher taking his horses to market, but a rival land baron puts up a toll to force Cusack to pay to take his horses over tha land baron's property. Not having the money to pay, Cusack leaves behind two prize horses and comes back to find them near death. When he takes the legal route, he gets no justice and goes to extreme measures seeking justice. Not a feel good type of movie, but a realistic look at what a man will do when the law fails him. Well worth a watch! 4 stars. 8/22/08

Kevin Bacon is one of my favorite actors. He puts everything he has into his work. This movie is a very heavy drama with cancer, suicide, and death. A well acted and very well told story. The young boy is a great actor and brings such compassion to the movie. Kevin Bacon's character is involed in a train crash that takes the life of a young mom who decides to take her life and her son's by parking the car on a train track. Kevin Bacon was driving the train. The story is so involed and drains you emotionally. It is very sad, but there is hope. Pass the Kleenex. Well worth a watch. 4 stars. 8/21/08
