July 18, 2009Great popcorn flick thats very tense in places and quite moving at the end, its also a possible reality check.

July 6, 2008Hello:
I actually know 'Cyclops Lady' and she is a world renown ballerina. She was only made up to look menacing, but she is one of the nicest ladies that I have ever known in my life. She is a Sweetheart and I love her dearly and her family also.
As for the movie, "I love it!"
Take care all,
William
