Synopsis:

In the sleepy town of Riverton, legend tells of a serial killer who swore he would return to murder the seven children born the night he died. Now, 16 years later, people are disappearing again. Has the psychopath been reincarnated as one of the seven teens, or did he survive the night he was left for dead? Only one of the kids knows the answer. Adam "Bug" Heller (Max Thieriot) was supposed to die on the last night the Riverton Ripper wrecked havoc on that terrifying night. Unaware of terrifying crimes being committed to the seven children, he has been plagued by nightmares of their murders while not aware if they hold true or if he is simply imagining the images that haunt him. But if Bug hopes to save his friends from the monster that's returned, he must face an evil that won't rest...until it finishes the job it began the day he was born

A Soulless Flick (The Star Online)

By Punitha Yogaratnam

My Soul To Take

Rating(out of 5): * ½

(United International Pictures)

Starring: Max Thieriot, John Magoro, Zena Grey, Denzel Whitaker, Nick Lashaway, Paulina Olszynski

Let's just face the facts: Hollywood can't do horror, not the type of horror we Asians are used to anyway. I mean they actually thought Paranormal Activity was scary! They should watch Korea's A Tale Of Two Sisters or Japan's Ju-On, now those are real horror movies.

Growing up I found a couple of Hollywood horror movies pretty scary – The Omen and The Exorcist (the originals, mind you). Those two kept me up at nights but the horror flicks being churned out by the Hollywood machinery these days are not so much horror as they are thrillers.

And My Soul To Take is just that, a thriller and not a very good one at that.

The movie begins with Abel Plenkov, a multiple-personality schizophrenic who is also a mass murderer known as The Ripper.

GETTING PERSONAL: What's your name again? Nevermind, you're probably going to be killed any minute now!

Early on Abel is “killed” and he becomes the town legend. Some in town believe his multiple “souls” are reborn to seven kids born the second he supposedly dies.

Exactly 16 years later, the Riverton Seven are being knocked off one by one. Now it's a race against time to find out which of the surviving seven is the killer. Is it Adam 'Bug' Heller, the innocent kid, his close friend Alex Dunkelman or could it be Abel, back to finish what he started?

To find out, you have to sit through this agonizing movie directed by Wes Craven.

You would expect a Wes Craven movie to be at least shocking, you'd expect it to be scary. Sadly this is not true and I personally feel that people are going to wise up to the fact that Wes Craven can't hide behind his name anymore. I mean just because he was behind the best cult movie in the world, A Nightmare On Elm Street, doesn't mean that all his movies are going to stand the test of time.

TIME OUT: How am I suppose to get ahead if my role is just five minutes long?!

As for the actors in My Soul To Take, they are unknown and if that's not bad enough, you don't get to invest in their characters at all because before you can say “B-grade movie”, they're all dropping like flies.

My Soul To Take has no character development, the plot line was inconsistent and the delivery was choppy.

The entire movie, actually, felt as if director Craven was rushing through it as if sensing that what started out as an interesting idea was turning out to be a nightmare he didn't intend.

Plot Summary: This time around – Edmund and Lucy Pevensie, along with their pesky cousin Eustace Scrubb – find themselves swallowed into a painting and on to a fantastic Narnian ship headed for the very edges of the world.

Joining forces once again with their royal friend Prince Caspian and the warrior mouse Reepicheep, they are whisked away on a mysterious mission to the Lone Islands, and beyond. On this bewitching voyage that will test their hearts and spirits, the trio will face magical Dufflepuds, sinister slave traders, roaring dragons and enchanted merfolk. Only an entirely uncharted journey to Aslan's Country – a voyage of destiny and transformation for each of those aboard the Dawn Treader – can save Narnia, and all the astonishing creatures in it, from an unfathomable fate.

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is a 2010 3D fantasy-adventure film based on The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, the third published novel in C.S. Lewis's epic fantasy series The Chronicles of Narnia. It is the third installment in The Chronicles of Narnia film series from Walden Media, the first in the series to be distributed by 20th Century Fox and the first one to be released in Digital 3D.

Set a year after the events of the second film, The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, the two younger Pevensies Edmund (Skandar Keynes) and Lucy (Georgie Henley) are transported back to Narnia along with their cousin Eustace Scrubb (Will Poulter). They join the new King of Narnia, Caspian (Ben Barnes) in his quest to rescue seven lost lords to save Narnia from a corrupting evil that resides on a dark island. Each character is tested as they journey to the home of the great lion Aslan at the far ends of the world.

The film premiered on November 30, 2010 at a Royal Film Performance in London. It will have a wide theatrical release in traditional 2D, RealD 3D, Digital 3D and a limited release in 4D on December 10.

Plot summary

The Dawn Treader is the first ship Narnia has seen in centuries. King Caspian has built it for his voyage to find the seven lords, good men whom his evil uncle Miraz banished when he usurped the throne many years earlier. His Telmarine ancestors had never built ships as they had always feared the sea.

The journey takes Edmund Pevensie, Lucy Pevensie, their cousin Eustace Scrubb and King Caspian to the Eastern Islands, beyond the Silver Sea. Their mission – on which rests the fate of Narnia itself – takes the courageous voyagers to mysterious islands, a river that turns whatever it touches to gold, confrontations with magical creatures and sinister enemies. They will meet Lilliandil the half-star and reunite with their old friend and protector, the great lion Aslan. They will also have to save Narnia from an "unfathomable fate", including a mysterious green mist.
