	Technically the sequal was made my the same people and was in theaters in Canada and Europe. Some of the facelessness that made the first one so good is gone, but it's not a bad little flick. Please note, it's not Cinema, or a movie.. it's a just a little flick, which is why it's appearing on SciFi. A couple of the characters have a somewhat UA feel, and there is a kind of TNI dread to the whole experience. I'm particularly fond of Geraint Wynn Davies (sp?) of "Forever Knight", his character has a wonderful obbsession with 'Collecting things'.
	It should appear mostly uncut. Very little in the way of language. No major blood. And there was about 2 seconds of nudity (a bare breast. eek) cut through a section that was edited much like an mtv video anyways, most likely it won't even be noticed that it's gone.
	Overall, the first was a superior movie, but the second had it's moments.

	Now, Last night's Dead Zone. That was a UA plot worth retelling. I love damned if you do, damned if you don't, even more damned if you intervene moral complication plots. The people I was watching it with glared at me a lot through it, branding it "one of your damn plots"

	Hypercube: Cube^2, shows on SciFi April 5th. This saturday,

Jade Hammons

For those interested, Scifi channel has made a sequel, "Cube 2:
Hypercube."  I believe it airs this Saturday, tho I'm not positive about
that.  It's coming on soon, however.
