My Thoughts:
This is one of the movies I got in a free 20 disc/40 movie boxset I got when I subscribed to Total Movie Magazine. Whenever I think of Sherlock Holmes it is Basil Rathbone that I think of. Though this is one title of many that I never seen before today. It is a good old movie. I enjoyed it quite a bit. I especially liked the ending of this movie. And as usual.... Professor Watson is good for a laugh or two.

My Rating: 3.5/5

My Thoughts:
I wanted to watch this one... as I have seen the first Fantastic Four movie several times... but only ever watched this one once when I first got the DVD.  It has been so long in fact that I forgot most of the movie. While I think I liked the first one a bit more... this one is still a good movie that I enjoyed a lot. One that is just fun to sit back and watch.... without having to think about too much. I thought the Silver Surfer was done very cool. Jessica Alba looked amazing as always. Not sure how I felt about the changing of powers thing. I think it was fun for the most part... but didn't really care too much when Johnny had all 4 of their powers.

My Rating: 4/5

Year: 2002
Director: Robert Iscove
Rating: NR
Length: 168 Min.

Subtitles:

Stars:
Malcolm McDowell
Marguerite Moreau
Skye McCole Bartusiak
Dennis Hopper
Danny Nucci
John Dennis Johnston

Plot:
In 1984, Stephen King's Firestarter became a horror film hit, with its frightening tale of a young couple whose involvement in a secret government drug experiment produced a dangerously gifted child. Sociopathic agent John Rainbird was instrumental in the "'Lot 6" testing and earned the young girl's trust for his own ends. He then murdered her parents. Enraged, she unleashed her pyrokinetic powers, engulfing Railbird in flames – and left him for dead.

The child is now a woman. Charlene "Charlie'' McGee (Marguerite Moreau) has spent the past 10 years on the run from the unscrupulous government agents who created her. Now she's through running and has decided to reclaim her life.

A showdown is inevitable, and Charlie's only chance for survival lies in a turncoat government agent and a half-mad professor named Richardson (Dennis Hopper).

My Thoughts:
This is actually a TV Miniseries that originally aired on the Sci-Fi Channel (I must say I still hate the new name of Sy-Fy!). I am sure it would have been a nightmare to pull off... especially for the Sci-Fi Channel... but I always thought it would have been cool to have Drew Barrymore reprise her role as Charlie in this miniseries. It is a good miniseries... though I do prefer the original movie. Even if it never was one of my favorites. I did like Malcolm McDowell in this one. And Marguerite Moreau does a fine job as well. She is an actress I am not really familiar with... but I enjoyed watching her in this.

My Rating: 3.5/5
