There was a preview for a Psychological horror movie about a boy, shown prior to Live Free or Die Hard, and I need the name of the movie.

I swear it was named after the boy but I can't find any information at all on this movie now. The trailer had the feel of the Omen, but it wasn't another version of the omen, just made you think of it.

This kid was disturbed and was doing everything he could to split his parents up. He was killing the animals at school, home, attempted to kill his mother/brother/father in the preview and the scene that stands out the most, was when his father was sitting next too him and told him he was sick, and the kid touches his own forehead and smirks at his dad and says he doesn't feel sick.

Can anyone help?

The only thing I can think of is possibly Joshua (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0808331/).

I haven't seen the trailer myself though, so I don't know.

ETA: Just saw the trailer for the movie on apple's site. It's Joshua.

What was the one cartoon from the early 90's with 2 kids (boy and girl) that talked to animals that told them stories. I think the title had something to do with virtue.

Thanks

That would be Adventures From the Book of Virtues. Recall seeing it, like a year or two ago on one of the PBS stations.

You're welcome.

Funny how sometimes can remember the oddest things right away (as I just saw your post, and it clicked in my mind). :D

That would be Van-Pires. Had a group of people that could change into car-like robots, and a group of vehicles that became robotic (the latter being the titular 'Van-Pires', as they sucked feul from ordinary cars like vampires).


Add-On: And the show is on DVD as well--

I remember a cartoon that was produced by DIC and it was about cartoon dragons, and it was some sort of comedy in which they all lived in the middle ages, and it was created by Terry jones. What's the name of it?

Pocket Dragon Adventures? I thought Dragon Tales at first but when I looked it up it wasn't done by DIC. PDA was though.

EDIT: I take that back it's this I bet

I missed the part about where it was done by Terry Jones haha
