Review:

Six months after the end of the first Ring movie, Rachel (Naomi Watts) has moved with her son, Aidan, to a small town in Oregon. She is shocked when she learns of a murder in the sleepy town involving the watching of a tape similar to the one that began her horrors. She and her young son are once again being terrorized by the dead Samara. This time Samara wants to become alive and take over Aidan's body and have Rachel for her mother. Rachel does some investigating into Samara's history and finds some clues to help save her son. There are several times that you may jump in your seat. There is violence, death, grisly images and themes that may be too frightening for your child. The F word is used once to retain the PG-13 rating. The movie is even scarier than the first one. There are really no values to be learned from it. It is simply a horror movie.

Linda Thomas


Linda Thomas is a native Minnesotan. She graduated from the University of Minnesota with a double major in sociology and psychology. Married with a family, she has remained in the Minneapolis area.

Linda has been a lover of movies since she was a small child. This love of film eventually brought her to the point in life where she is now, a film critic. She was featured on WCCO radio for three years on the “Dark in the Morning” show with Dark Star.

In December of 2001, Linda became the film critic for the syndicated “Ruth Koscielak Show”.

Linda sees over 150 movies a year and has had the opportunity to interview a number of directors and actors when they are in town. She has also appeared on a public access show called the "Cinema Judge" and has ventured into writing for "Cinestar" magazine in September 2002. The Twin Cities movie magazine is available, for free, at most local Blockbuster's and local movie cheaters.

Her website is: www.lindathomasmovies.com

As one of the few female reviewers in the Twin Cities area, she brings a unique point of view to her reviews. Linda has raised two children, a boy and a girl, and knows what they like in movies and what is appropriate. Hopefully, her reviews will help your family in choosing where to next spend your movie-going dollar.
