I've seen some interesting "conspiratorial" movies on our FTA screens down here in recent weeks. There were a couple maybe 3 weeks ago and when I saw them listed I thought "wassup with that?". Can't recall. One was about 911 and the other was about maybe Kennedy and why they killed him.... need to think on it.

Anyway I recorded this one. Haven't watched it yet but there is no doubt it's about one of those Bush/Kelly clan people and Skull and Bones. It was produced in 2000 which is interesting in itself.

The Skulls is a 2000 American psychological thriller (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological_thriller) film starring Joshua Jackson (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joshua_Jackson), Paul Walker (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Walker) and Leslie Bibb (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leslie_Bibb), directed by Rob Cohen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rob_Cohen). Its plot is based upon some of the conspiracy theories (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conspiracy_theory) surrounding Yale University (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yale_University)'s Skull and Bones (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skull_and_Bones) student society.


The film was critically panned, but successful enough to spawn two direct-to-video (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct-to-video) sequels, The Skulls II (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Skulls_II), directed by Joe Chappelle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Chappelle) and starring Robin Dunne (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robin_Dunne), Ashley Lyn Cafagna (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashley_Lyn_Cafagna) and The Skulls III (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Skulls_III), with Clare Kramer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clare_Kramer) as the first woman member of the society.



There has apparently spawned 2 sequels. Anyone seen it? I thought it was interesting the movie was made.

I watched the first one around 2003-2004. I thought it was corny more than anything, but I bet I would see it differently if I watched it now.
