Summary: See it for Rachael Leigh Cook, but ignore everything else.
Review: The Eighteenth Angel (William Bindley, 1998)

The first thing you need to know about this movie is that it was written by David Seltzer. If the name means nothing to you, it will after two words: The Omen. You should, by now, have a basic idea of where this movie came from, where it's going, and how it's going to get there.

Lucy Stanton (Rachael Leigh Cook, recently of AntiTrust and Twenty-Nine Palms) wants to be a model. Her mother (Wendy Crewson of 24) is dead set against the idea, and her father (Christopher McDonald, who will forever be remembered as the sleazy Tappy Tibbons in Requiem for a Dream) is just trying to achieve a little harmony in the house. Lucy tags along with her mother to an interview one day, and the two of them meet Father Simeon (Maximillian Schell). Lucy's mother suffers an untimely death while Lucy finds herself getting courted by a modeling agency, who offer to take both Lucy and her father to Italy. All seems on the level, until Father Simeon pops up again...

Let's face it. A bunch of guys in robes standing around chanting to the devil just isn't that novel anymore. Good for amusement purposes, but really, you might as well just go all-out and see The Omen (for that matter, just watch the first three movies back to back, they're all more interesting than this). Rachael Leigh Cook is gorgeous, and some of the special effects are good, but overall the movie could have used a good kick in the pants now and again to get it back on track and throw in a twist or two. **

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: VERY GOOD MOVIE!
Review: The eighteenth angel is a great movie, despite several reviews in magazines that I hate. It makes you think it is no different from The Omen, but it really is original. The story is that a bunch of Etruscan devil worshipers want to bring Lucifer to earth in the form of beauty. 17 kids are killed, cloned, and brought back to life, not to mention 'failed' genetic experiments, like mutated rats. The beautiful Rachel Cook receives the greatest privilage of all: being posessed by Lucifer. It really does blend evil with high technology. Great movie, 5 stars.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THE BEST MOVIE IN ALL TIMES!!!
Review: This is more then a movie it got evereything.
It got love, between a father and hes daughter.
Action, of an overnatural sort.
Humor, especially in the begining when the airport guard caught her smuggeling her cat in to Itally.
