Last K movie... yay! Another letter down, always a good thing!
And this one's pretty interesting. A young girl predicts all the world's major disasters for the next 50 years, including the end of the world in 2008. The movie loses a little bit of its potential shock value since it's in the past already, but if you're invested in the story line, it works. Lots of good suspense-building going on here and even Nic Cage is stomachable. (A small triumph as of late).
I don't want to give anything away, but the overall premise about the guys who keep following the kids is kind of odd. And the end scene? Is it cool or a bit corny? I like things that tell a story full circle and this does so, in a pretty grandiose kind of way. I have mixed feelings about this one, but overall, it's a fun mystery to solve the first time around. And at least everything resolves in a satisfactory way.
