After a six-year hiatus director Mike Mendez returns behind camera for the horror romp THE GRAVEDANCERS. Having broke every religious taboo with his previous film THE CONVENT, Mendez returns in full form with this entertaining and imaginative film about a group of friend who desecrate three graves in a cemetery and inadvertently wake the dead.
Now, going into this film you can’t concern yourself with the absurdity of the whole premise you just have to go with it. Three school friends get back together after one of them dies. Having not seen each other they all gather at a bar and get drunk while reminiscing over the good old days before heading to the cemetery for one last goodbye. Letting loose they decide to have a little fun by dancing on the graves and desecrating the ground which awakens angry spirits which latch onto each of them.
Upon learning from a group of paranormal investigators that they have until the next full moon to rid themselves of the spirits before the spirits are strong enough to kill them, the three search for a way to exorcise the spirits. What follows is a darkly comic misadventure of the three friends as they are teased by their spirits before the big finale in the paranormal investigators’ home.
The cast is at top form with Dominic Purcell (from the short lived television series JOHN DOE) heading the group that includes Clare Kramer (from television’s BUFFY, THE VAMPIRE SLAYER), Josie Maran, Marcus Thomas, Tcheky Karyo, and Megahn Perry.
The film borders on self parody but like Mendez’ previous film THE CONVENT he knows how to balance the laughs with the screams for an enjoyable ride.

Dream of someone dead talking to me
By: petunyabug | 07-08-2008
My ex-husband, my son's dad, shot and killed himself a month and a half ago. I did not divorce him because I didn't love him because I did with all my heart. I divorced him because of his alcohol and painpill addiction and liking to drive with our son while high and drunk. Anyhow. I had a dream the other night that he called me on my cellphone and told me that he is ok and when he shot himself and died that it just sounded like an airplane. (I have been worried that he laid there for awhile before he died or that it hurt and things like that.) He told me he is in heaven (also been worried that he went to hell because I was raised believing that suicide is an automatic ticket to hell. I have since read that God is way more forgiving than humans.) I tried to call him back, but where the number comes up it just said "call" so I was not able to. Does anyone believe this was him comforting me or am i just full of bologna??

The Flash
By: Sean Mcgovern | 01/10/2008
The Flash is viewed in each series to be an immature type of guy, an-easy-go lucky and he thinks that he is a ladies' man. He might be a little to immature but he really looks like an comedian. One good thing about the flash is that he always smile (yeah, a good person always let people see his very bright teeth). He dreamed of being a pop star, but never reached it but instead he'd become a super hero. I know that the 1998 The Flash series shows that he joined the Justice League of Super Heroe
