Expecting a two hour epic of teen angst, "Twilight" is surprising because of it's humor about teen dating.

Then....when it it over, there are always pictures to review afterward.

For the pure pessimist in need of a fix, Sam Raimi's **Drag Me to Hell** was released on DVD in time for Halloween. While he has been sidetracked by directing the **Spider-Man** trilogy, Raimi was well known for his horror movies (**The Evil Dead trilogy,** **The Gift** **Darkman**). Co-written with his brother Ivan, Sam Raimi **Drag Me to Hell** is a morality tale for 2009.

Christine (Alison Lohman) denies credit to a toothless gypsy woman. The gypsy woman does not like the way she is treated, so she puts a curse upon Christine. Christine has nightmares and suffers from delusions.

**Drag Me to Hell** is entertaining from beginning to end. Lohman gives a charming performance and generates more sympathy than any of the characters featured in **2012.** Both motion pictures present negative themes, yet **Drag Me to Hell** communicates an important moral lesson while **2012** presents more socialized propaganda from Hollywood.

As President Danny Glover says in the latest box office sensation, **2012,** "The world is going to end and there is nothing we can do about it." For apocalyptic scholars, **2012** does fulfill one's pessimism to a point. The pure pessimist will be disappointed - **2012** plants enough seeds for a sequel.

**2012** follows the formula of the old Irwin Allen disaster flicks from the 1970s, most notably **The Poseidon Adventure** and **The Towering Inferno.** First you establish the exposition of stereotypical characters from different social strata, mainly the dysfunctional family and the smart people who work in the White House. The second act features the climatic disaster and the third act reveals the producer's core assertion.

The constant marketing on television has presented some enticing shots for "2012." On the big screen for a matinee price, the epic action scenes are a visual feast. **2012** will be remembered for the aerial shots of airplanes escaping from crumbling runways. While these scenes are repeated three times, these sequences do not feel repetitive The special effects in these sequences are full of tiny details that will involve closer and repeating viewing.

After witnessing two hours of heart pounding action in which Christian and Asian landmarks crumble in front of our very eyes, **2012** suffers from a prolonged climax with two scenes of contrived suspense featuring a father's sacrifice. These scenes involve John Cusack, as the father,feel shallow. For a film that won this critic over earlier, **2012** bogs down under the weight of it's own lofty themes.

"Kelly's Heroes" is on AMC this Veteran's Day.

A minister and a Korean War Veteran, Cinema Dave spent more Christmas with Uncle Billy besides his Mom and Dad.

After serving in the Korean War, Uncle DeWitt participated with sending Neil Armstrong to the moon in July, 1969.

My Uncle Herman served in World War II.

This is the headstone of my grandfather, Sargent Dave Glenn Watson, the man I am named after. There is much legend about this man, whose records were lost in the fire of 1972.

Due to the tragedy in Fort Hood,
the plight of Veterans is more poignant on this November 11 than recent memory.
It is a difficult situation, for the survivors - some relate to the glorification of the war movies on television, while those with PTSS (Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome) probably avoid the cartoon violence on cablevision. Then there are people like Senator John McCain who came within 10 million votes of being our Commander-in-Chief.

This is a day to honor our Veterans, so please make sure that you say "Thank You" until at least one today.

Circus Rosaire directed by Robyn Bliley received Best Florida Documentary.
