The Omen
A remake of the 1976 horror classic, I can't even begin to compare the two. In an effort to modernize the new version,scenes of the 9/11 attacks are used to indicate Armageddon is approaching soon. The parents are also younger. Julia Stiles portrayal of Damien's mother is weak and very bland, but I did enjoy Liev Schrieber's performance as the father. I've liked his work ever since noticing him in the film Scream. Not really scary or creepy,this film relies way too heavily upon foreboding music to entice the audience. Overall-not the worst two hours I've ever spent,but definitely not that great either.
