Let’s face it; despite featuring Keifer Sutherand, Director Alexandre Aja (The Hills Have Eyes remake) and some brutal, creative death sequences, the 2008 remake was an overblown mess of a horror film. Even Sutherland hilariously pulling a gun on a nun couldn’t raise it above mediocrity.
So a sequel (Mirrors 2), minus the talents of Sutherland, Aja, and with a story completely unrelated to the first film, was looking to be quite the grim affair. Naturally, I just had to watch it.
It’s been one year since Max Matheson (Nick Stahl) was involved in a car accident that saw the death of his fiancée Kayla, and he is still coming to terms with his overwhelming grief. He soon receives a phone call from his father Jack (William Katt) who offers him a job as a security guard at the Mayflower Department store (the...

Mirrors 2
Stars: Nick Stahl, Emmanuelle Vaughier, Christy Carlson Romano, William Katt, Lancs E. Nichols | Written by Matt Venne, Sung-ho Kim | Directed by Victor Garcia
When Max (Stahl), a recovering addict, takes a job as a night time security guard job at his fathers department store, he begins to see visions of a young woman in the stores mirrors. Unsure whether his visions are side effects of his prescription sleeping pills or actual reality, he begins to look deeper into the source of the images in the mirrors. When employees of the store turn up dead and Max is a suspect in the murders, he must expose the girls connection to a scandal within the department stores walls in order to prove his innocence and put a stop to the spirit in the mirrors.
Like its predecessor, Mirrors 2 is based on the Korean film Geoul Sokeuro aka Into the Mirror,...

This week Fox released the trailer to Mirrors 2, the sequel to Alexandre Aja’s 2008 film, which in itself was a remake of the Korean film Geoul Sokeuro (Into the Mirror).
Aja’s remake changed the story dramatically, whilst retaining certain key imagery. Part gothic horror, part visceral nastiness, and with a denouement that was frankly ridiculous, it was never quite the sum of its parts, despite some intelligent use of water as a reflective surface. Now Mirrors 2 is on it’s way, direct to DVD and Blu-Ray and instead of being a sequel to Aja’s movie, it reprises the story of the Korean original.

With the summer's end in sight, this week might represent the last hurrah in the name of good fun before the gloomy, Oscar-baiting seriousness of the fall release schedule descends upon us. Woody's back, there's a grindhouse/B-movie double header, and in the realm of blockbuster comedy, it's the wily veteran versus the young upstart as Ben Stiller battles Seth Rogen in an all-out race to the stupid.
"Anita O'Day: The Life of a Jazz Singer"
Although she was overshadowed by such greats as Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday, Anita O'Day became one of the "three queens of Jazz," in spite of an artform dominated by African-Americans and her struggle with her own personal demons. In this documentary, the famed white jazz vocalist reflects on nearly 70 years in the spotlight, not merely performing jazz, but living it as a lifestyle. O'Day's former manager Robbie Cavolina and...
