Yes, this movie was indeed disturbing, but needed to be made during the age when Russia was still a threat. Of course, the main event in the movie must never happen, and now with terrorists the enemy instead of Russia, the threat still is there, so the movie still has value, even though the "Cold War" technically is over with the Soviet Union. Now we have such wonderful adversaries as North Korea and China, that have taken Russia's place. Not to mention the terrorist network who can go out and buy a suitcase bomb. So, unfortunately, the nuclear threat still exists (thankfully to a lesser extent) but the American public shouldn't be too complacent when there are people in the world who would destroy us if they could using means similar to what was presented in the movie. The first time I watched this movie, it bothered me for a few days after. Quite powerful, but necessary.

Dear Blair Witch Producers, Writers, Actors, etc. -

How do I Hate Thee - Let me count the ways.

Lets just put it this way...Anyone who was really scared by this so-called movie needs some help, and it ain't physical.

Maybe by leaving out all the F'ing language, it would seem a little bit scary, but the stupid adolescent language actually made the thing funny. Turned it into a comedy of sorts.

And then the actors getting hysterical at every little occurrence didn't help make it believable. Just F'ing childish. To borrow a word from the script. I was thinking of playing the thing back and just counting the F's and S's used. Might be fun.

Sorry I couldn't rate it higher, but my 1 was the most popular vote given... I don't feel alone.

Would I watch it over again...yeah...If you paid me. A loyal IMDb fan.

After you get through the stresses of your day... your job, the hassles of daily life, all the stressers that are out there daily, it seems great to sit back and enjoy something that will take you out of that for a little while. If you watch the news and read the papers every day like I do, it gets to you after a while...the young soldiers being killed in Iraq, all the election BS that we are being bombarded with right now...all or most of the news is downright depressing. That creates an important place for a movie like this...one that can make your life a little less serious for a while. I've always been a Christina Ricci fan, going back to the Addams Family when she was only 11 years old. She was a great actress even at that young age. You could tell that she would go far as an actress. The personality was there...it set her apart from her peers. At the age of 15, she continues to do a great job in Casper...she is very believable.

Sometimes, in this troubled world where violence and negative things seem to be the norm, a nice little movie like this can go a long way toward making your day a little brighter. Some of my other "feel good" movies are Patch Adams, all the Superman movies, the Robocop series, and good old Babe. Thanks for reading this. Feel free to reply with an email.
