The bit where he was introduced to weed cracked me up.

Lifeforce

Aliens,Vampires,Zombies, it had all three, pretty good even though it looked a bit cheap at times.

I love stop-motion animation and am a fan of both Selick and Gaiman, but this one didn't impress me. I'm looking forward to seeing it in 2D on my television at some point - maybe I'll come around on it.

I didn't know this had been adapted for film. I wasn't OVERLY fond of the story, but I did feel that it would led itself best to a more vivid and varied medium then graphic novel. Film would gain a greater advantage to manipulate fields of vision and use music, sound and voice. Sad that it doesn't sound like it came together.

Go back a few pages a read some other comments on the film.

It was filmed here in Oregon and it's been selling out every show.

The Exorcist III

I hadn't seen this one. I hated #2, so I didn't bother following up on the series, but I saw it used for $2.99 and couldn't resist. I was pleasantly surprised. A fun, fucked-up movie with a real knockout performance by George C Scott an lots of goergetown footage that made me a bit homesick.

7/10

The Pink Panther 2

A mistake I can never rectify. The ensemble cast really disappoints, except eye candy Aishwarya Rai.
