"Untraceable" and "The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian"

Out this week on DVD, is the thriller “Untraceable.” Diane Lane stars as Jennifer Marsh, a secret service agent who is pulled into a deadly game of cat-and-mouse when an unknown person creates a Web site showcasing their victims with a live feed for the world to see. The victims’ fate is determined by the number of people who visit the site. The more that visit, the quicker the victim dies. Soon spreading like wildfire, the world is logging on to KillWithMe.com out of sheer curiosity to what the site is all about, unknowingly turning themselves into an accomplice to murder.

Marsh, of the FBI, and her team scramble to shut down the site, but because the killer is well-versed in computers, he has made the site unable to be touched and himself unable to be found. Now all the FBI can do is watch as the body count grows all the while trying to pick up clues in attempt to find the stranger behind the computer.

This was a pretty decent one, and I was reminded while watching of how not too many of these Internet-related thrillers are made. So with that there was an advantage because it wasn’t all recycled material done from years past. It made me think of “Silence of the Lambs” meets “The Net.” The Web site addition to the plot kept it from feeling like a remake of “Lambs” but more like an updated version with a twist. So while not completely original, it does have some ideas of its own. Not a bad way to spend a couple of hours. Entertaining with plenty scenes of tension that only the horror fans will be able to watch with both eyes.

IN THEATERS
Out today is the next installment of the popular Narnia movies. “The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian” picks up about a year after the events from the first movie and continues to follow the adventures of the four children, the famous lion, as well as new, weird-looking characters with even weirder names. From what I gather, only die-hard fans of the series will be able to properly explain what seems to be an overly complex story to what is supposed to be a kid’s movie. In turn, those die-hard fans are also probably the ones who will get the most enjoyment out of it as well.

I wouldn’t expect your random moviegoer to walk into this one and end up adding it to their top 10 list. These movies have a built-in audience — the ones who read the books. The first one brought in nearly $300 million so expect this follow up to do just as well, which will pave the way for the rest of the series.
