I wish they hadn't cast Xzibit as an FBI agent too, how am I supposed to take this seriously if I'm expecting him to put goldfish in Scully's dashboard?

The whole time, all I could picture in my head was this:


A really short review, as I want to digest this a bit before I go into it.

-What kyndig slags on this movie for is what I liked about it. It is more Scully/Mulder than X-Files. Which makes sense. Since that's what made the X-Files so entertaining for me in the first place.

-David is still very funny.

-Gillian still cries as well as anyone in the business.

-Billy Connolly is creepier as a psychic than as a zombie.

-Either the industry thought this movie would make no money, or someone pissed off the advertising gurus, because this flick got no push AT ALL.

-It wasn't brilliantly designed or shot or even written. But it was a bookend, and for that I'm thankful.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
