Survivor (yes, I still watch it) Yes, the fall movie line up is here and this means the summer blockbuster will be replaced by more thoughtful story lines, better acting and more movies made for an adult audience. This summer wasn’t a
Rated PG13 Directed by Shane Acker Produced by Tim Burton and Timur Bekmambetov Starring Elijah Wood, John C. Riley, Jennifer Connelly, Crispin Glover, Martin Landau and Christopher Plummer Heidi’s Illustrious Rating: 2.5/5 Word of Warning: This film is not for children.
