Mark Lynch Movies
A newly married American bride begins to suspect that her Englishman husband had ulterior motives when planning their romantic honeymoon on Portugal after learning that Portugal is hosting the European Championship Football Finals, and that her sports-loving groom just happens to have tickets to the opening games. Everyone agrees that Mark (Danny Dyer) and Holly (Gillian Kierney) are the perfect couple, and what better way to celebrate their marriage than with a romantic road trip through Portugal? Just as their journey is getting under way, however, Mark reveals to her that he recently scored three tickets to see the English national team play in the opening games of the European Championship Football Finals. Though Mark claims it was an innocent coincidence, it seems that everywhere the couple goes, football fever is sure to follow. As the games intensify and Holly begins to suspect that Mark has been planning this from the very beginning, cracks begin to develop in their relationship and the once ecstatic bride begins to have second thoughts about her union. Is football Mark's true passion in life, or could it be that he truly loves his new wife as much as he says, and that it was really just happenstance as he's claimed all along? ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Her faith shaken by a family tragedy from which she was never quite able to fully recover, a professor of theology from Louisiana State University moonlighting as a debunker of unexplained religious phenomena finds herself faced with an apocalyptic series of events that seem to reflect the ten plagues of Exodus in director Stephen Hopkins' Southern gothic chiller. The terrified citizens of Haven, LA, have been beset by swarms of locusts and watched as rivers turned to blood. As if that wasn't enough to put the fear of God into any Bible-reading Christian, ominous rumors of a local swamp cult have left many of the small-town citizens turning to prayer for fear that the end is finally nigh. Enter Katherine Winter (Hilary Swank), a skeptical myth-buster and renowned theology scholar with a special knack for spotting religious trickery. Though at first exceedingly confident that she will uncover a human component behind the otherworldly occurrences, Katherine quickly learns that just because one doesn't believe in the supernatural doesn't necessarily mean that it doesn't exist. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
