Cursed

Overall Rating: # (1 Bucket 'o Popcorn)

Merlin's Grade: # + (1 1/2 Buckets)
Michele's Grade: # (1 Bucket)

Comments:
(Merlin) Pretty much a cliche' waste of time. The creature effects are really cool, and Christina Ricci does a great job with what she's given, but the movie is too silly to be scary and too horror-y to be a comedy. Really was hoping for more from Wes Craven (The THING ROCKS!)

(Michele)Starts out well, and goes down hill from there. Very very disappointing.

(Merlin) Woah. First, a little disclaimer: I haven't read the Hellblazer comics, so I didn't have them to compare this to. I thought this movie was AWESOME! The plot was supercool with a great twist at the end. Keanu does a great job portraying the tragic hero, and I love Peter Stormare's preformance as Satan.

(Michele)Great movie. The whole idea is just way cool. I really enjoyed it.

(Merlin) Great date movie. Lots of laughs and cute romances. Good premise well played out by the cast.

(Michele) Cute movie. I hate how the previews show some of the best funny scenes. Very good movie, especially for a date movie.

Comments:
(Merlin) Another good date movie. The funny premise and some great laughs. Plot is pretty transparent, but a fun time.
(Michele)A bad twist on Pretty Woman. There were some funny parts in the movie, but no chemistry between the actors. It doesn't flow as one would hope.
