It's a zombie flick loosely based on a video game. I had no other expectations other than to be entertained for an hour-and a-half. But the movie went far above my expectations. Yeah, there are similarities to "Aliens" and every other George Romero Dead flick, but it didn't detract from my basic enjoyment of the film. With the exception of one or two exposition scenes in the middle, the movie was non-stop. Milla and Michelle were great. And the Red Queen was a nice touch.

I can't believe how many people are nitpicking over the inconsistancies between the game and the movie. See it again and suspend your disbelief. I did and enjoyed it. And I own the first 2 games myself.

Disturbing and engrossing documentary about the Manson family as well as the murders they committed. The title's a bit misleading, as the bulk of the docu is about his brainwashed family and other people who crossed paths with him, although clips of interviews with the man himself appear here and there.

Highlights of the film have to be the interviews with Squeaky Fromme and friends where they proclaim Manson is Jesus reincarnated and present their own skewed philosophies on their way of life.

`The One' is very predictable and uses almost every action movie cliché in the book. And I loved it.

Glen Morgan, James Wong, and Jet Li just wanted to make an action movie, that's all. They are guilty of that and nothing more. The action sequences were well done, the special effects were cool (love the transporter effect), and the use of parallel universes was interesting. And hey, Jet Li makes a really cool villain. (This movie also features the cat who usually jumps out from behind a piece of furniture and scares a jumpy cop and/or frightened teen-ager. That cat gets a lot of work…)

Gabriel Law's ending is pure 100% cornball au gratin, but the final fate of his evil twin more than makes up for it (It almost qualifies as a happy ending for that character).
