John Cusack's The Raven

This movie was super great and I don't care what anyone else says. I thought it was absolutely amazing! Cusack makes a pretty good Poe. I'm not personally a huge Cusack fan or anything, but considering we don't know hardly anything about Poe anyway, I think he did an amazing job.

 So from the very beginning, I knew Poe was going to die in the end. It was just so obvious. Poe sitting on the park bench with it snowing. Another great thing about the movie is that it goes through some of Poe's life. It tells about Virginia and his time in the military. Of course, when you don't have much to go on and you're trying to make a movie, you don't really have much of choice on what to leave out or not.

The ending was even more amazing! My brother and I were so amazed when the killer's last name was Reynolds. It just made everything fall into place. I was so impressed that I didn't even want to leave after the credits started rolling. So can't wait for it to come out on DVD and watch it all the time :p.
