A Canadian adventure drama directed by Steve Barron, distributed by the Hallmark corporation.
A young native American man living on a reservation is forced to drive his grandfather to the All Nations Powwow. Along the way, they meet people and get in situations which the grandfather explains by telling stories.
This was actually pretty cool. The CG, special effects and monsters were a little over-done, but the plot and characters were good. They used a speeded up/time lapse effect that looked not so great in some scenes and there was a giant snake that came out of a pond which was obviously CG. The grandfather's stories shared about equal (or correct portion) of the time with the characters' journey to the powwow and I liked the ending. I'm rating it adequate.
In ancient Egyptian mythology, a dead person's soul would be weighed against the feather of truth in a ritual called a psychostasy. If their soul was lighter than the feather, it would ascend into the afterlife. Heavy souls were devoured by Maat, eater of the dead. Good films go to hard drive heaven while the recycle bin eats the rest.

Monsters (2010)

A romance directed by Gareth Edwards.
Alien monsters are loose in northern Mexico and a young man has to escort his boss' daughter to America.
The plot was trite and the characters were 2 dimensional. The style was totally worthless, but the pacing was good. I'm reviewing this as a crappy romance because I have no rating bad enough for it as a science fiction. I rate it shit anyway. Some Kind of Monster has been dethroned. This is THE WORST MOVIE EVER!
