Mirrors

Starring: Kiefer Sutherland, Amy Smart, and some poor man's Halle Berry chick

Remember, we like the genre. Cheesy, horror flicks. Not that this is one. Okay, maybe a little.

MIRRORS is a documentary about Kiefer Sutherland reflecting on his career and how he went from THE LOST BOYS, YOUNG GUNS, and FLATLINERS, through boning Julia Roberts in the middle, hitting the apex by starring in a hit TV show, 24, and then, somehow ending up in this weird-a$$ movie.

Okay, really. MIRRORS is about this down-and-out NYPD cop who f@cked-up somehow, is trying to stay on the wagon, and for some inexplicable reason, decides to work at this burned-down building as a security guard. He also is separated from his semi-hot wife and rarely gets to see his kids until he gets his act straight.

While working at the spacious, mirror-filled building, he witnesses some strange occurrences. Of course he does. That's what makes the movie. Basically, your cliched reflection-doing-crazy-things-you're-really-not-doing kinda spooky stuff. He, surprisingly, keeps going back to work at night to find out why this is happening. Who gives a f@ck, right? Apparently, Kiefer does. And so, the rest of the movie plays out for our entertainment. I won't spoil it, of course. Let's just say that wherever there's mirrors, $hit's gonna happen.

Personally, I didn't think the movie was all that scary. And it's not 'cause I'm trying to be all macho and $hit. It really didn't scare me like other movies. You could tell when something was coming. Lots of blood and gore, but all movies have that nowadays, so it's hard to outdo what's already been done.

Beautiful, on the other hand, couldn't even go to the bathroom by herself. I had to just stand there and watch her pee. Normally, I wouldn't mind, but after midnight, I don't know, kinda pushing it. She even slept on the other side of the bed not near our bedroom door. I thought that was funny.

Some scary parts. Not all that exceptional. I kinda liked it even though it wasn't all that particularly good. Again, we like the genre. Wifey liked it, of course. She was definitely affected by it. I give this movie two people staring at each other in the mirror late at night wondering who that person behind them is...
