Final Destination

Right before takeoff on a class trip to Paris, Alex has a premonition of the plane expoding, so he and several other students get off right before the plane does indeed explode. Weeks later, death comes back to claim the would-be victims one-by-one. A pretty nifty movie with awsome effects. I loved the way the shadows moved and the premonitions that Alex has. There were also some prety cool camera angles. All in all, a 4 out of 5.

Characters:

• Alex: Teen who has premonitions of death, and generally freaks people out.
• Clear: Chic who believes Alex, and also makes some weird-ass sculptures.
• Carter: Asshole guy who doesn't like Alex much. Turns out to be a nice guy, but squished by a giant sign at the very end.
• Ms. Valerie Lewton: The teacher of the trip who is terrified of Alex. Dies a slow and painful death.
• Tod: Alex's friend who gets attacked by toilet water and strangled with a string.
• Billy: Poor putz who is always getting knocked off his bike. Decapitated by flying car bebris.
• Terry: Carter's girl who is flattened by a bus.

The Totals:

• Body Count: 5, plus 287 in the plane crash.
• Weapons Used: String, a bus, a computer, glass, knives, a chair, debris, a tree, a swimming pool., and a power cable.
• Breast Shots: 0
• Moments where characters are mysteriously unable to run from certain death: 1
• Ominous thunderstorms: 2
• Explosions: 5
• Times Billy gets knocked off his bike: 3
