Mediggo -- movie reviw

Go see this movie.

Why? Because it's HORRID, that's why.

Tonight, as part of the nationwide effort by movie theaters to
raise money for "the cause", myself and a friend went to see this
particular flick, knowing full well that our money would NOT go
to the production company that brought us the religious peice of
crapola but rather, our $8 (plus concessions) would buy some
blankets and maybe some nice handy wipes for those who can use
them.

But still - if you can GO SEE THIS MOVIE. But don't pay to get
in. Sneak in - something. It's WRETCHED.

It starts out ok - with a nice evil little boy ala Damien some
how becoming possesed by the "devil" - which means of course, he
excels in military school, and eventually comes to power under
the guise of some sort of "world chancelorship" Whaddevah.

The movie is a huge Jack Chick comic brought to the big screen.
The makers of the movie are there to hammer their dogma home,
that's for sure. The acting is bad, the special effects are
suprisingly good until it comes time for the unearthly nasties -
then it makes Anaconda look like The Abyss. Eeech.

There are some really sweet looking and seemless CGI scenes, but
sheeeeeit... "satan" loosk like he should be on Saturday morning
TV.

Over all - the Xians in the audience were applauding at the end
of the movie while my friend and I were *laughing*. It really
does start out nicely but somewhere along the line it takes a
nose dive - turning from what could have been a creepy Omen-esque
thriller to an over the top religious A-Team episode. No thanks.

But still -- *ya gotta see this movie*. If you can avoid giving
it your moeny - do so. But there are few theaters in the country
playing it simply because of its "middle east end of the world"
content, which is silly.

The one bright point is Udo Kier. He's a good villan any day.
