Monday Movie Review #2 THE KILLING ROOM

This movie is a complete flop from the point of view of any viewer with an adequate sense of logic. A suspenseful flick about some clandestine government experiment involving psychological torture and the justified murder of innocent civilians. It will satisfy only the most sadistic moviegoer who has no need for believeable storyline. The plot is so full of holes that I found it difficult to watch to the end. It is not the premise itself that's hard to swallow, it's the way it's being sold.  It does not take any vast education in science to see, that the methods with which the 'experiments' in the film are conducted, are not the least bit scientific at all.

Monday Movie Review #1 MIRRORMASK

'Mirrormask' (2005) Dave McKean, Neil Gaiman

A movie with extraordinary artwork and funny acting. It's basically a story about a young girl who has gone, in a dream, to a fantasy world where she winds up on an adventurous mission to save that world from doom. I was reminded of Clive Barker's "Abarat," novel, the art of Salvador Dali and Ralph Steadman, all rolled into one, if you can picture that. My twelve-year-old sister enjoyed it very much, so gather your family around this one for a treat on your movie night.
