| Let’s face it, any movie about a serial killer released in the next few
years is going to draw unfair comparisons to “Se7en”. And why shouldn’t
they? It’s only the Holy Grail of the genre. Like “Silence of the
Lambs” was to the early 90’s, “Se7en”...more |

| "The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he
didn't exist." So says Kevin Spacey's character in The Usual Suspects,

No, it's not a remake of The First Power, but it is Fallen, an mostly

| Fallen is a crash of genres. It takes a detective/sleuth genre and smashes
it together with a thriller/supernatural genre. Typically, smashing genres
together, especially such different genres, doesn't work really well. How
well does it work with Fallen? more |
