Matrix Reloaded (2003)

I had very high expectations going in, since the original Matrix blew my mind. M2 starts out rather slow, building to action sequences which are at times fantastic, but mostly repetitive. It felt like a 5 star meal that's been re-microwaved.

Rating: C

The Dead Zone (1983)

I watched both of them, the original with Christopher Walken and the 2002 version with Anthony Michael Hall. I liked the newer one better, as the story was more original and logical. I watched these in preparation for the USA show by the same name, which was pretty good.
