Starring: John Voight, Mary Steenburgen
After staring open-mouthed at the TV screen for 2 and a half hours, I finally came to a conclusion as to why it was created. It was actually an insidious plot to get us to read the Bible. Why else would they take the story of Noah’s Ark and [...]
End of Days
0 Comments Published by Scooter February 22nd, 2006 in Mean Mothers, Monster Flicks, Religious Zeal.Starring: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Gabriel Byrne, Robin Tunney
The plot is simple: Arnold Schwarzenegger, a disgruntled alcoholic former cop, saves the world from a Satanic prophesy by wielding large weapons. What more can I say? The cheese is laid on thick in this high predictability factor action thriller. Lots of stuff blows up, and there [...]

The Prophesy starts when the Archangel Gabriel goes bad. He’s a mean dude, and he’s out to kick some butt. He’s PO’d at God, and plans to get back at Him by destroying mankind. Fortunately, he’s banished to Hell by a Native American ritual.
