Review of “Earth to Echo”
* D Warning: Mild Spoilers Ahead “Let’s remake ET as a found footage film with worse actors”. Astro is probably the strongest of the four young actors in the cast. The film never explains why the antagonists are after Echo, … Continue reading

Review of “Doom” (the movie)
* D Decent acting by The Rock, Karl Urban, and Rosamund Pike fail to redeem the weak script of the film based on the iconic FPS video game. Effects are fine, and suspense is built well, but too many interesting … Continue reading

Review of “The Anomaly”
* * * * A The Anomaly is a great science fiction movie. Noel Clarke (Mickey from Doctor Who) plays Ryan. His nemesis is well played by Rob Lowe lookalike Ian Somerhalder (The Vampire Diaries). Ryan’s love interest, played by … Continue reading

Review of “A Walk Among the Tombstones”
* * C Liam Neeson carries the weight of this slow paced, grim crime thriller, playing a tortured ex-cop turned PI who is hunting for the men who murdered a drug trafficker’s wife. The only women in this film are … Continue reading

Review of “The Equalizer”
* * * B The Equalizer delivers predictably. Lots of action, well shot. Denzel plays his usual deadpan hardass. Chloe Moretz has a shitty part (and this film fails the Bechdel test). Too bad, she’s a great actress. Marton Csokas … Continue reading

Review of “Cloud Atlas”
* * C An interesting multithreaded story with each actor (Tom “Woody” Hanks, Halle “Storm” Berry, Jim “Slughorn” Broadbent, Hugo “Elrond” Weaving, Jim “Jude” Sturgess, and Doona “that chick from the Host” Bae) taking on multiple roles. Each thread takes … Continue reading
