Stir of Echoes

Stir of Echoes

Who's in it: Kevin Bacon, Kathryn Erbe, Zachary David Cope, Jennifer Morrison

What's it about: Tom(Bacon) and Maggie(Erbe) have had a great life, but after being hypnotized, Tom is seeing things and hearing things that he never did before. A ghostly girl is appearing to him inside of his house. He finds out that this girl is Samantha Kozac(Morrison), who supposedly ran away 6 months ago. His son, Jake(Cope), is also seeing this girl. When trying to reverse the hypnosis, Samantha tells him only one word and that's 'Dig'. The visions keep happening and appear to be getting worse so he does what he has to in order to make them stop.

What I Think: I love Kevin Bacon and pretty much everything that he does. This movie was interesting and I loved the dialogue that was used and the story was very intriguing and I enjoyed the acting. Everything about this movie was great and I enjoyed the excitement that came with it. The plot of the story was easy to understand yet you were still able to catch the mystery that was inside. I was impressed by the whole of the movie and the setup of everything that was put into it.

Who's in it: Kevin Bacon, Charlize Theron, Stuart Townsend, Courtney Love, Pruitt Taylor Vince, Dakota Fanning

What's it about: Always wanting to bring families back together, Joe(Bacon) is targeting a new family. Karen(Theron) and Will(Townsend) are separated by a presentation that Will must make, leaving Karen with their only daughter Abigail(Fanning). Joe, his wife Cheryl(Love), and his other partner Marvin(Taylor) work together to keep the family apart for 24 hours in order to make them realize that they need to spend more time together. What Joe didn't find out is that Abigail has severe athsma and must be medicated several times every day. After finding this out, the family works together to bring everything to a stop before someone gets hurt.

What I Think: I have to say that the one thing that I really liked about this movie was Kevin Bacon. He really brought out his character. I also loved the spiderweb tattoo that was around his bellybutton. I loved the acting from everybody. Theron is absolutely gorgeous, as is Love. Townsend's accent left me breathless and his wit left me wanting to know what he would do in other situations. They really sold themselves in this movie and I want to definitely see more movies with the like of them in it.
