Every Family Has Its Demons

Director Tim Burton brings the cult classic series “Dark Shadows” to the big screen in a film featuring an all-star cast, led by Johnny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer and Helena Bonham Carter.

In the year 1750, Joshua and Naomi Collins, with young son Barnabas, set sail from Liverpool England to start a new life in America, where they build a fishing empire in the coastal Maine town that comes to carry their name: Collinsport.

Two decades pass and Barnabas (Johnny Depp) has the world at his feet. The master of Collinwood Manor, Barnabas is rich, powerful and an inveterate playboy…until he makes the grave mistake of falling in love with a beauty named Josette DuPres (Bella Heathcote) and breaking the heart of Angelique Bouchard (Eva Green).

A witch in every sense of the word, Angelique dooms him to a fate worse than death—turning him into a vampire, and then burying him…alive.

Nearly two centuries later, Barnabas is inadvertently freed from his tomb and emerges into the very changed world of 1972, a stranger in an even stranger time. Returning to Collinwood Manor, he finds that his once-grand estate has fallen into ruin, and the dysfunctional remnants of the Collins family have fared little better, each harboring their own dark secrets. Family matriarch Elizabeth Collins Stoddard (Michelle Pfeiffer) is the one person Barnabas entrusts with the truth of his identity. But his rather odd and anachronistic behavior immediately raises the suspicions of the live-in psychiatrist, Dr. Julia Hoffman As Barnabas sets out to restore his family name to its former glory, one thing stands in his way: Collinsport’s leading denizen, who goes by the name Angie…and who bears a striking resemblance to a very old acquaintance of Barnabas Collins.

Also residing in Collinwood Manor are Elizabeth’s ne’er-do-well brother, Roger Collins, (Jonny Lee Miller); her rebellious teenage daughter Carolyn Stoddard (Chloë Grace Moretz); and Roger’s precocious 10-year-old son, David Collins (Gully McGrath). The longsuffering caretaker of Collinwood is Willie Loomis (Jackie Earle Haley), and new to the Collins’ employ is David’s nanny, Victoria Winters (Bella Heathcote), who is, mysteriously, the mirror image of Barnabas’ one true love, Josette.

Trick'rTreat

I've been waiting patiently to see this movie. After reading about it online I just had to get it . I was pretty sure Phil hadn't seen it yet .

We planned to watch it last week after we spent Sunday looking for the DVD.  We checked one retail movie outlet , to which the lady at the desk had to phone other outlets just to see if they had it, none of them did. bummer.  I hoped I didn't have to order it online because I knew it wouldn't get here in time for halloween and well that would just defeat the purpose for me. This is a halloween movie !! Oh the horror!

After walking through the mall , our feet were getting kinda sore and we were tired but I was determined to check out some other places because DAMMIT that is what we came to do ! So the bus took a little longer than we expected but just as soon as we got to our destination , there was a blockbusters and it never even dawned on me to check there. Blockbusters will soon be going out of business and you know something? I think it is still the best place to buy movies cause they have ALL the good movies and lo and behold... WE FOUND it ! Oh I was so happy !

Trick'r Treat the DVD was released Oct 6th 2009.

I feel like I've changed a bit when it comes to horror movies. I used to hate them with a passion, probably because I don't like being scared and certainly don't like the emotion and because fear is not from God, but the devil, so I never liked Halloween the movie; or the day itself .

Anyway, this is what the reviews say about it :

Always hand out treats on Halloween… or else.

Trick 'r Treat is a collection of creepy stories that mixes fun with fear, candy with poison, and laughter with screams.

In the tradition of Creepshow and Tales From the Crypt comes four interwoven tales set on Halloween night: a high-school principal who moonlights as a vicious serial killer, a young virgin whose quest for that special someone takes a gruesome turn, a group of teens who carry out a cruel prank with disastrous consequences, and a cantankerous old man who battles a mischievous trick-or-treating demon.

Every night this week has been foiled for one reason or another from watching this movie. It just hasn't happened yet lol . I could watch it anytime during the day but I want to watch it with Phil because I don't want to get scared , ha! it's a good excuse for waiting for halloween I guess . We may watch it tomorrow or we may wait for Sunday night but the things I've heard about it so far , are really good . Everyone seems to like it even more than Halloween

UPDATE: Well we watched Trick'r Treat last night and we didn't think it was as good as the reviews said it was . I hate that when that happens . It's all gossip. I know it's disappointing. We were disappointed. It is a cute movie but cute isn't scary or horror. There really wasn't anything scary about it .

On another note we ordered take out and the driver couldn't find our house cause IT WAS TOO HARD TO FIND! :/ honestly, if he doesn't know the city well enough he should probably look at a map. The lady was trying to tell us that we live in the S.E not the S.W grrr. I know where I live !~!

...When it did finally arrive the food was still hot but I might have missed some of the show trying to give directions to my address but oh well . I will probably watch it again anyway .

A good Movie

Cover of My Name Is Khan

As I was flipping through the selection of my local Shaw on demand movie channel out of boredom I came across this movie called My name is Khan "from the epiglottis" <--that's what he says :D.

He's a Muslim who has Asperger's syndrome, and it had me in tears. I think it is a good movie to watch if you are struggling to know what Islam is and what it isn't. It has a powerful message and basically makes me rethink what everyone and the media say about Muslims and terrorists.

I personally give it 2 thumbs up. The only thing I didn't like is the subtitles.

Jim Caviezel visits Medugorje

He has been there before. I remember reading somewhere, when he was filming The count of Monte Cristo , at that time, his wife was in Medugorje and she told him about it . Did you ever see that movie? I think it's one of my favourites. Did you notice the picture of Our Lady on the bedroom wall in that scene when he was in his mansion after he had made himself the count of monte cristo and he was reunited with his wife finally? I think it was when they made love etc. Anyway here he is in Medugorje with his wife Kerri.

It was reported on Medugorje.net that he was visiting Medugorje again. Jim Caviezel played Jesus in the Mel Gibsons movie 'Passion of the Christ' . I think it is one of those movies that we should watch every Easter . I don't know how many times I can watch the 10 commandments but I have both movies .
