Another Modern Moron Movie Review

A group of combat journalist encounter military maniacs without conscience or restraint and eager to kill anyone not born in the United States and that's just a small part of what happens in "Civil War," released on Friday.  

A college aged woman is determined to be a combat journalist and she gets what she bargained for and the horrid details of war reign in her camera's eye. I never had the desire to be a combat photographer and "Civil War" affirms these feelings. 

Three stars easy for "Civil War."

A Modern Moron Movie Review

In order for the Catholic Church to survive, it's hierarchy resurrected the devil's son as an infant in 1971 in this month's "The First Omen."  

The latest installment of "The Omen" follows the book on the details of the pre and actual birth of Beelzebub's son. The unscrupulous and extremely macabre orphanage got their baby evil into the world of high-profile politics as an infant in the early 1970s in hopes he becomes the President of the United States. 

It's absolutely horrid what happens to many young nuns in this Roman church, but "The First Omen" writers, crew and actors left the absolutely horrifying details to the mind. Released on the 5th, "The First Omen" is the 6th installment of "The Omen" films, first released in 1976. The American nun, and star of the film displays true resistance and unites with another nun in a cunning ploy to escape the nefarious Roman church. 

This version is a prequal to the original movie and it's clearly set up for a sequel I'd definitely go see. I was disappointed the entire film revolved around Satan's birth, but the ending has an unsuspecting curve and a valid foe against Damien, the son of the Devil. Does the Devil have a sister?

Just under three stars for "The First Omen,"
