Star Trek Into Darkness

Star Trek Into Darkness

'Into Darkness' falls a bit too far into the generic action/fantasy mold rather than the thought-provoking science fiction adventures that the brand built its name on. There's a little too much focus on mindless action beats and exploiting what came before, executed in ways that could alienate both long-term fans and newcomers. It's time to take this franchise into fresh and exciting new territory rather than fall back on regurgitating half-decent cover versions of its greatest hits.

Evil Dead

Evil Dead

The original was a scary movie, but it was also more humorous, both intentionally and unintentionally thanks to its campiness and low budget. There’s nothing funny about this. Any laughter you hear in the theater is most likely due to general uneasiness. There is some inherent amusement in the characters’ silly logic - but these are necessary elements that are expected in this genre, no matter how dumb they may be.

The Call

The Call

The worst type of movie is the type that starts out so strong and has so much potential only to fall apart by the end, completely squandering it. “The Call” is one of those movies and contains one of the most monumental meltdowns I’ve ever seen a film take. One moment, it’s an edge-of-your-seat nail biter and the next, it’s a laughable thriller that takes enough absurd plot turns to completely derail it.
