I've been a long-time fan of Sandra Bullock's work ever since I first saw her on the goofy comedy 'Love Potion No. 9'. Well, here she is in yet another goofy comedy, although this one has a whole lot of heart. Sadly, I can't believe this zany-character-based-comedy doesn't have a legion of fans! But still it could be I'm it's only fan and I've yet to told of such things, after all it was one of this year's 'Razzie' award winners... go figure! Still I say watch it and then draw your own lines in the sand, and that's my two cents worth, lol.

I really remember this one scaring me to death as a child. What an utter nightmare it'd be to buy a house only to find out that it comes with the ghost of the last occupants. Plus some...

There is nothing very great really about "Bone Sickness", what with its' lame acting and even lamer dialogue throughout. But still, it is a gory good time.

Man, I thought this was going to be so GREAT, but boy, was I ever in for a huge letdown. This was nothing but a sad 'shock-value' flick. Although, it offered tons of blood, it was still very dumb! And what was up with the cartoon ending? If you can call that an ending and not an open door unto Part 3. What a shameless mess. :(

I saw this movie on TV the year before last, and enjoyed it so much that I had to figure out it's title. Now, I'm happy to say I got it, from Swapadvd, for my one year old daughter. She appears to enjoy it herself - she brought it to me just last night to put into the dvd player.

Ok, I did enjoy this movie, but my problems with it were the fact that it never tells any back story on this 'deadgirl'. And yes, it has plenty of jaw-dropping-images, but it doesn't really live up to all the hype for me, sorry.
