Introit

Welcome to my realm of reviewing: a place where I review anything I feel like...but it will probably be 99% movie reviews. Depending on how lazy I am at the time, the reviews will range between a sentence or two and the length of a master's thesis. Realistically though, the lengths will be somewhere in the middle.

Every time I see a new movie, I run over to Facebook to make a 1-sentence review of it on Flixter, so I figure this will let me go more in-depth on what I thought of it. I certainly will try to write out a new review every time I see a new movie, so my frequency of new postings will range anywhere from multiple times in one day to one in a week.

I will NEVER have movie spoilers, so don't worry.

By the way, I don't discriminate on movie genres...you will see reviews of ALL kinds of movies ranging from horror exploitation films to Saturday night chick flicks...but don't expect me to look at them from the same angle :D
Expect to see a lot of reviews of obscure movies though, particularly independent horror films.

I also take requests, so if there is a movie anyone wants me to review, feel free to ask.

Well, so far it does feel like I am typing to a brick wall, but at least this gives me something to do for the time being. If anyone is reading this, thanks in advance!!

"Battlestar Galactica: The Plan"

Movie Watched Today: Battlestar Galactica: The Plan

Genre: Sci-Fi / Based on TV series

Starring: The BSG cast, with a few exceptions

Director: Edward James Olmos

The synopsis given by "official" sources says that this movie reveals the Cylons' Plans from before the attack on the colonies up through the end of Season 2.

This review will be extremely short, as talking about much of it at all would be spoiling both the movie and the series.

The movie basically follows 'Number 1,' both the one on Caprica and the one in the fleet, and how they change throughout the course of the series. Unfortunately, it only covers up through season 2, so this so called "Plan" was boiled down to simply kill all humans. Nothing the audience of BSG didn't already know, right? The movie was okay, but it ended up feeling like a long string of deleted scenes from the series. If you have seen the whole series, then it is a must-see, even if there is nothing new.

Unfortunately I cannot give this a rating. Taken as a standalone movie, it is easily a 1/10. However, there is NO WAY someone who has not seen the entire series of BSG should even consider watching this.
It doesn't introduce anything new really, but it is a decent addition/companion to the series that all hardcore fans need to see.
