The Messengers






I got to watch the movie Free on Crackle!
I like this movie. I kinda MST3000ed it A ghost has family issuses killed everyone but a little boy. So the house is for sell outsiders Years later buy the house not knowing its dark story of the past. A teenager gets to be a teenager and is in trouble like all teenagers she see stuff and her parents wont listen or believe her. Her little brother can see ghosts and is not scared of them. Her little brother has not talked in a year or so. That cuts him from helping her. The acting was good Kristen Stewart as  Jess Solomon did a good teenager in trouble. She did not run screaming ghost ahhh. She told her little brother Ben she wont let them hurt him. It was funny The Crows were always around well "it cant rain all the time"
Heres the Review from Wikipeadia
  
A terrified mother tells her son he has to be strong and that everything will be okay. As she packs a suitcase, she hears something coming towards the door and makes her son hide under the bed. The door bursts open and something throws the woman against the wall, killing her instantly. The son, terrified, runs out of the room and into his equally scared sister. She grabs him and runs down the stairs. The boy hides under a table, but his sister is caught and pushed over the stair railingsand is obviously injured. She crawls to the boy and tells him to run, but is dragged to the cellar, her nails clawing the floor. The boy runs into the kitchen and hides in a cabinet. It is dark except for a sliver of light down his face. The cabinet dooropens and a hand yanks him out.
Five years later, the Solomon family from Chicago move into the house, hoping to start a sunflower farm. The teenaged daughter, Jess (Kristen Stewart), is upset about moving away from her friends. She had once driven drunk with her younger brother, Ben, a toddler at the time, in the car. She got into an accident, seriously injuring Ben. He recovered, but has does not speak. Jess' father, Roy, and mother, Denise, have a hard time trusting their daughter. Roy, who grew up in the next county and has previous farming experience, moved his family to the farm believing it will help heal the family.
Ominous events start occurring. The house always has crows flying around it. Some even attack Roy, but are driven off by a drifter named John Burwell, whom Roy hires to work on the farm. Ben sees the ghosts of the mother and children in the house, though they do not seem to frighten him. Jess is also aware of their presence but is unable to see them until they attempt to drag her into the cellar. The adults have no perception of the ghosts at all. One ghost, the sister, attempts to drag Jess into the cellar. Afterward, Jess calls 9-1-1 and the police arrive, but find nothing. They consider it a false alarm, and Jess' parents do not believe her either. While Ben witnessed what happened, still being very young and mute he is unable to confirm her story. Only Bobby, a teenage boy from town whom Jess befriends, supports her.
Jess and Ben have more encounters with the ghosts haunting the house. One attack occurs when she went into the cellar herself, she starts seeing mud coming out of the floor, scared she runs back up but gets grabbed by the ankle, and starts seeing a flashback of the girl ghost alive getting pulled down the stairs, when Jess starts to fall into the mud where the girl ghost was, everything reverts back to normal and she runs back up. Another occurs in the barn, resulting in Jess acquiring cuts and bruises. Jess sees a little boy inside the barn, arms wrapped around his legs, his back toward Jess. When she tries to ask him if he is okay, he does not reply. She moves closer to the boy. The boy turns and reveals his face, his eyes white, his skin pale and with grey cuts on his face. He suddenly jumps and attacks Jess. Later, Jess is rushed to the hospital. Her parents think her wounds are self-inflicted because she wants to leave the house and return to the city, and they will not believe that ghosts are haunting it. Because her parents do not believe her, tensions rise and Jess becomes determined to prove her claims to Roy and Denise. When Jess left to find proof, she tells Bobby about what happened and he says to her that people make mistakes.
Jess later discovers more details about the Rollins family, the house's previous owners, by Bobby. According to the locals, the Rollins lived in the house, but left suddenly five or six years ago. However, at a local store Jess sees a picture of the family, with the father revealed to be none other than John Burwell, who has always been kind to her. As it turns out, John Burwell is actually John Rollins, the head of the Rollins family and the man who, in a fit of madness, killed his family. Frightened and anxious, Jess takes Bobby back to the house to warn her family before it is too late.
Back at home, Jess' mother, Denise, is putting Ben to sleep when she notices a blood spot on the wall coming back even though she has already cleaned it. This is where the mother, Mary Rollins, was thrown against the wall. Suddenly Denise sees the mother's ghost emerging from the bloodstain. Realizing that Jess had been right, a terrified Denise becomes determined to leave. She starts packing suitcases and places them on the front porch. John, after being attacked by crows, becomes confused and believes Denise is his wife Mary, trying to leave him in the same way Mary had, years before. He runs to the house to attack Denise, believing that she is his wife. Denise grabs Ben and runs into the cellar to hide from their attacker.
Bobby and Jess arrive, and Jess calls for her mother and father. John attacks them from behind with a pitchfork, knocking Bobby out in the process. Jess runs into the cellar and bolts the door. While John is looking for some way to get into the cellar, Jess finds Denise and Ben, telling her that she is sorry for not believing her since she saw one of the ghosts, and then Jess further barricades the door, blocks all the windows and breaks the light bulb so that they can stay hidden in darkness. John is able to get into the cellar and looks around for the three, still believing that Denise is his wife Mary, that Jess is his daughter Lindsay, and that Ben is his son Michael. Roy arrives to help his family, but is stabbed by John with the pitchfork. However, John's ghostly family arise from their graves beneath the cellar in dirty mud which Jess notices, when John asked Jess, still thinking she is Lindsay, if they are still family, Jess kicks John into the mud saying that she and her family are not his. As his family vengefully pulls him to join them underground, memories of their deaths were shown until he was pulled down. Hoping to save himself from sinking, John grabs Jess' leg which pulled her toward the mud. Jess' parents work together to save their daughter by pulling her free from John's grip before he sinks beneath the cellar with his family.
Thanks to Bobby, the police and paramedics arrive shortly after the attack. Denise tells the police about the ghosts, Roy is loaded into the ambulance and he too apologizes to Jess, and promises to never doubt her again. As the film ends, things return to normal. The crows no longer attack, the ghosts stop appearing and Ben starts talking again. The family appears to be normal once more and the house and land look better than ever.

WALKING DEAD SEASON 1














the first series begins with sheriff's deputy[2] Rick Grimes waking up from a coma in an abandoned and badly damaged hospital. Leaving the hospital, Rick discovers a post-apocalyptic world overrun with zombies (or "walkers," as they are often referred to in-show). Rick also discovers his wife and son are missing. Acting on a rumor from a fellow survivor, he arms himself and begins a perilous journey to Atlanta, Georgia, where the CDC is said to have set up a quarantined safe-zone in the city. Upon reaching Atlanta, he soon discovers that the city is instead overrun by the walkers.
A few miles outside the city, Rick's wife Lori and son Carl have been hiding from the walkers with Shane Walsh, Rick's partner and best friend, who has fallen in love with Lori. They have established a camp with a small group of fellow survivors. After being rescued from Atlanta by members of the group and reunited with Lori and Carl, Rick assumes command with Shane. A band of walkers eventually attack the camp and kill several people. The remainder flee to seek aid from the CDC.
In the CDC, all but one staff member, Dr. Edwin Jenner, have either fled or killed themselves. Dr. Jenner explains that his research into the infection has not yielded a cure, and that he has not been in contact with anyone for a long while. Lack of fuel for the emergency generators soon initiates the building's safety protocols, which will trigger an explosion designed to destroy the facility and prevent the escape of deadly diseases. Jenner and Jacqui, a member of Rick's group, decide to stay and end their struggle. Dr. Jenner whispers something into Rick's ear, and the group escapes just as the CDC is incinerated in the explosion.

Taking Lives



The Trailer
I love Angelina Jolie movies cause. Most of them Girl With power and knowing how to use it good not saying in good ways. With Ethan Hawke I personally like him as well his looks and he is a Talented actor.

A Dutch teenager, Martin Arkenhout, and an American college student, Seth Goodman, strike up a conversation on a bus in Florida, and on a whim they rent a car to better explore the rural area. But then the car breaks down and Goodman, trying to summon help on the roadside, is struck by a passing car and left critically injured. Arkenhout bludgeons Goodman with a rock, switches their wallets and papers, and continues Goodman's journey to college in New York. Arkenhout soon must give up the identity when Goodman's suspicious parents demand he comes home for Christmas. He has by now developed a taste for wealth and luxury, and so begins befriending and killing rich people, stealing their identities and living their comfortable lives for as long as he can before moving on.
The novel soon shifts over to first narration James Costa, a museum curator who will track Arkenhout down and become his next victim. He wrestles with his troubled but passionate marriage, and is disturbed by his father's sudden decision to leave England and return to the family's former village in Portugal.
When Costa and Arkenhout, still posing as Professor Hart, cross paths, Arkenhout is unaware that the real Hart had stolen rare manuscripts from a British museum. Costa, representing the museum, pursues the man he believes to be Hart as far as Portugal hoping to regain the missing manuscripts. As fate would have it, Arkenhout takes a vacation villa near the village where Costa's father had only just died.
While settling family business and attempting to negotiate for the manuscripts, Costa makes increasingly unnerving discoveries about the identities of Hart and Arkenhout, and about his own father's involvement in political oppression during World War II.
The book culminates with a blazing fire and an intriguing and an unanticipated plot twist.
The novel was loosely adapted into a 2004 film starring Angelina Jolie and Ethan Hawke. The film story was set in the city of MontrealQuebecCanada and rural Pennsylvania in the United States. Several plot points are removed, however, such as the subplot with Costa's father, while the setting is moved to Canada.

Lost Girl


I like Lost Girl its Like Laurell K. Hamilton First Anita Blake Novels Then she started Writing the Fairy novels and Turn Anita in to Erotic I love the first 10 Anita Blakes then the 2 chapter Sex was To much for me it cuts the plot and characters out of who they Stood For. I love my Anita the Fae in Lost Girl has the sex but its good not over doing it. Shes a Sucubus so there will be Sex. I say its a Great Show for one good point its Canadian so I say they are great.

Lost Girl is a Canadian series, just ending its second season on the Showcase network but new to Syfy and United States audiences. Its past is something of a double-edged sword: on the one hand, Lost Girl has proven it can establish a fanbase and develop an evolving storyline; but Americans think of themselves as having different sensibilities from those of Canadians, making imports across the border a tricky sell -- ironic considering how much American drama, especially in the realm of sci-fi/fantasy, is actually produced in British Columbia (Eureka, Smallville, Supernatural, Stargate, etc.), Ontario (Warehouse 13, etc.), or Quebec (Being Human, etc.).
Is there anything distinctively Canadian about Lost Girl? We Americans like casual sex on ourTV shows but we're not as used to casual sexuality, so Bo (Anna Silk) not making a big deal about the gender of whomever she's engaging the attention of is in and of itself mildly and pleasantly provocative. Bo's sexuality is part of both her nature -- what she doesn't realize at the beginning is that she's a succubus, feeding off the energy of humans and able to influence them through sexual attraction -- and integral to her fiercely independent personality. Most of all, Bo's erotic side is not about audience titillation, but about exploring a character whose elemental nature has an erotic component.

Solid Center

Lost Girl
(l-r) Richard Howland as Trick, Ksenia Solo as Kenzi, K.C. Collins as Detective Hale, Anna Silk as Bo, Zoie Palmer as Lauren, Kris Holden-Ried as Dyson
Syfy
What's interesting about the events depicted in the pilot and early episodes is that the discovery of the world of the Fae -- supernatural creatures of various sorts who pass as humans -- leads her to identify not with the beings who are like her, but with the human world within which she has previously felt nothing but isolation. The ruthless division of the Fae into hostile clans of Light and Dark repels her, and what offers stability is the nonaligned ignorance of the mortals. This angle works tremendously well, and sets Lost Girl off as a contrast to bands-of-heroes shows likeAlphas or, in a different way, Sanctuary.
Bo's closest similarity to what's gone before may be later seasons of Supernatural, in the sense that Sam and Dean Winchester learned that the forces of heaven were just as willing to yank humans around as the forces of hell, and that their only option was to play wild card. Bo knows that the Light Fae are closer to what she wants -- controlling her abilities without draining and killing those she feeds from -- but that doesn't mean she buys into their entire agenda.
Anna Silk is a strong anchor for the show, and she has the benefit of a solid ensemble around her: there's an intriguing diversity of Fae representing different points of view within their detached paranormal reality, without it becoming a parade of misfits like Once Upon a Time. Right from the start Silk is an impressive presence, fixing the exact center of the show while the machinations of all the others play out around her. Creator Michelle Lovretta makes Bo the fulcrum of this world, but that setup would be meaningless without Silk holding that spot with supernatural conviction.

Strong Support

Importantly, two key characters are both human and particularly appealing: Kenzi (Ksenia Solo), a high-energy young woman who shoulders her way into Bo's confidence, and Lauren (Zoie Palmer), a doctor working with the Light Fae who seems fascinated by her own emotional connection with Bo. One of the mistakes made by shows like Heroes is that the storylines become fixated on the abilities and lose sight of the grounding values of the mortals around them. In a landscape divided between humans and Fae, who are divided in turn into Light and Dark, it's vital that the humans presented in the show not only have faces but a stake in what's going on.
Also worth noting in the cast is Dyson (Kris Holden-Reid, who's been in quite a few Canadian productions including The ListenerDegrassi, and The Tudors), a Fae homicide detective who also forms a personal connection with Bo: Holden-Reid conveys a magnificently even temper, which makes it all the more interesting when his Fae side shows. His partner is Hale (K.C. Collins), another Fae who gives a most welcome dimension to the supernatural folks -- namely that they're not all obsessively bound up with their angsty Faeness and clock out to enjoy themselves every now and again. A number of other characters, including Trick (Rick Howland), give us and the other characters only an intriguing glimpse of what they're capable of, and what they might become.

Mindhunters

Trailer here

MindHunters Was a very good movie. Its an Action mystery WTF good twists and Turns. If you Like action shootem up movie you'd like this one. If you like Mysterys you would like This movie.

 Mindhunters are a group of young FBI students who are undergoing training as profilers. They travel with their instructor Jake Harris (Val Kilmer) to a small island off the coast of South Carolina in order to complete a profiling exercise. The island is used as a training facility by the FBI and the military where a mock town has been constructed. Harris has arranged an elaborate training scenario for his students whereby their mission is to create a profile of a serial killer who has committed a murder in the town.
The students include Bobby (Eion Bailey), a young man with a talent for fixing things; Vince (Clifton Collins Jr.), a wheelchair-using ex-cop who goes nowhere without his gun; Nicole (Patricia Velasquez), a smoker who is attempting to quit; Sara (Kathryn Morris), a talented but insecure profiler who is also petrified of drowning; Gabe (LL Cool J, listed as James Todd Smith), an outside observer; Rafe (Will Kemp), a very intelligent, caffeine-powered British investigator; Lucas (Jonny Lee Miller), a supposedly fearless man whose parents were killed when he was a child; and J.D. (Christian Slater), their leader and Nicole's lover.
They arrive on the island and commence their investigation the following day. The group encounters an elaborate, Rube Goldberg or Heath Robinson style trap. J.D.'s position as leader of the group prompts him to investigate it more closely, and he is promptly killed by it. Convinced that this was not an accident, the group heads to the dock to leave the island. They fear that a killer is on the island with them. Their actions trigger another trap, this one destroying the boat they were going to use in order to escape. While recuperating from the last trap, Rafe makes some coffee which turns out to be drugged, knocking everyone out. They come to discover that Rafe has been decapitated and exsanguinated while unconscious and that the killer has painted an elaborate group of numerical ciphers using Rafe's drained blood.
At first, suspicions seem to point to Gabe. He temporarily deflects this when he saves Vince from another trap. Later, the results of a blood analysis collected from scraped skin samples found under Rafe's fingernails point to Sara, who denies being the killer; Lucas supports her. Nicole ultimately decides she cannot trust any of her colleagues and leaves while holding the others at gunpoint, resulting in her death; the stress of the situation causes her to relapse into her smoking addiction and while walking outside, she finds spontaneously vended pack of cigarettes. She steps out to smoke one and quickly learns that it has been laced with a strong acid, which eats her alive from the inside as Gabe and Lucas stare on in horror. Sara, meanwhile, finally deduces that the traps are based on their strengths, talents, and weaknesses and the remaining profilers elect to stick together, to keep an eye on each other.
Unexpectedly, the island's speakers begin to broadcast a taunting message from Harris, making them realize that he did not leave the island, though he led the profilers to believe that he had; convinced that he has been the killer all along, they search for him. Sara, Gabe and Lucas find Harris and two other FBI agents next to him, all dead; Harris has been strung up to wires from the ceiling as a sort of marionette, just like the fake crime scene that they were to investigate. The three survivors realize that the killer is one of them, and in the shootout that ensues, Gabe seemingly takes out Lucas. At the same time, Vince manages to crawl to the elevator but hears someone coming toward him. He fires his gun (he always keeps it handy after having been shot earlier as a cop) at the stranger, but it has been tampered with by the killer and explosively misfires, sending shards into his face and arm. Gabe and Sara then confront each other, each believing the other to be the serial killer. Lucas, who was wearing a bullet-proof vest, returns and jumps Gabe from behind. The two violently attack one another, eventually falling through a glass ceiling. Gabe starts to get up but is knocked unconscious by Sara, who then begins to tend to Lucas. Sara explains her trap for the kiler then realizes that the killer is Lucas, not Gabe. Lucas starts to confront everything which ends with Lucas saying "Sara you have another weakness besides a fear of water: "Me"". Lucas tries to drown Sara, but she manages to kick him into the water. They realize that an underwater gun fight will not work, that they need to shoot above the water so they hold their guns above the surface and see who is able to hold their breath longer. Lucas fails and goes to take a breath, during which Sara wounds him badly. Lucas begins to taunt her about the evidence he planted blaming her, until Gabe reappears: he is the last witness. In a last desperate effort, Lucas attempts to regain his weapon, forcing Sara to kill him. Review From Wikipedia

Amber Lake

Amber Lake is a creepy, psychologically dark and dramatic twister.

The sisters, all named Amber, are the offspring of an affluent and respected psychiatrist with the ugly disposition of sleeping with different patients with mental disorders. With the partial exception of Amber Thomas as a young child and then once as teenager, none of the sisters has ever met the man.

Until they receive identical letters from Dr. Patrick Thomas (Carmen Argenziano), none are even aware they had sisters. What they are aware of, however, is that each has been plagued with her own mental disorder, one that mirrors the same clinical diagnoses given to their mothers.



From the moment the three women meet, it becomes clear that their varied disorders will clash, sparking some early conflicts between them. But any hesitation and general animosity quickly dissipates when their father arrives at the lake house.

He is at once aloof and condescending, briefly introducing himself before quickly turning in early for the evening. His reason to do so, however, is a lie. Once he quietly retires to his room, he listens in on their conversations.

He uses what he hears to confirm his diagnoses, and then confronts them over breakfast the next day. What happens next isn't clear cut. The story is retold to Sgt. Eugene Stockard (Timothy V. Murphy) three times as he interviews each of them as possible suspects. Their father — who callously reveals himself to be cold, calculating, and equally disturbed — has been murdered.

Four conflicting disorders and chronic uneasiness make the film.

Amber Lake carries a slow-burn creepiness with occasional psychotic outbursts. It isn't an action thriller as much as a psychological drama with twists and teeth. The acting is spot on, especially as the women walk the police officer through their dramatically different points of view.

Each retelling is like looking through the fogged lens, tainted by their varied disorders. It changes how you see each character, not only in how the storyteller behaves but also in how everyone behaves from their perspective.

There are a few story slips in the telling, with one in particular that cannot be explained away by taking the Rashomon effect to its extreme. Specifically, it occurs when a third-person point-of-view fact cannot be reconciled with a first-person account: one of the Ambers says she walked around the lake in one scene, but then later claims that she stayed in all night.

This slip distracts, but doesn't irreparably damage the film or the less conventional approach in making it. Each actress had picked her disorder independently, without telling the others.

Amber Hannold (Melvin) is agressive and disruptive with borderline personality disorder (BPD). Amber Allen is attention seeking and inappropriately promiscuous with a histrionic personality disorder (HPD). And Amber Thomas (Cole) is socially inept with avoidant personality disorder (AvPD).

In preparation, Cole asked them to research the disorders, write their own character histories, meet in public for a mock job interview, and sit down with real therapists. He also asked them to improv several scenes before he wrote the script.

Amber Lake is the story of three broken women who are brought together by a darkly sinister protagonist and plot line as cracked as any crafted by Hitchcock. The effect it delivers — unnerving creepiness — compels you to shift sympathies, all dependent on three fractured stories being told. It's a crazy ride and somehow darkly beautiful.

Paranormal Xperience 2012

 I saw it on Hulu 2D

Spain has finally jumped on the 3D bandwagon and released their first film in the format. “Paranormal Xperience 3D” comes to us from director Sergi Vizcaino and the producers of “The Orphanage”. It isn’t the finest ghost story I have ever seen but FAR from the worst. In fact, the film is rather entertaining with some terrific practical effects. Unfortunately , the version of the film I viewed WAS NOT in 3D, which is a good thing since I could concentrate on the other aspects of the film before viewing the gimmicky. And you know what, the film isn’t half bad. Not really frightening but fun with some unique locations, a couple of good kills, and likeable characters. The use of CGI looks awful in a few spots but still passable. Angela (Amaia Salamanca) is a medical student with a very eccentric and tough professor that lays out a proposition for her and a few others in order to pass their final exam. There is an old minor town that has a horrifying history. The place was the home of Dr. Amado, a crazy doctor who used to torture his victims in the old mines. With a handful of equipment, they want to head out but have no way to transport everyone. Enter Diana (Alba Ribas), she is Angela’s younger sister. She has a van and Angela invites her along. The two sisters obviously have some issues with one another resulting from the death of their father when they were young. Since Diana is a bit more interested in the paranormal, she agrees to help out. Once the group arrives in the town, it becomes apparent that maybe they have bit off a bit more than they can chew.
