One of Kevin’s 23 personalities has kidnapped three girls – for a yet-to-be-revealed 24th personality. The second trailer for M. Night Shyamalan’s Split is dark, twisted and bizarrely witty. It suggests that the director is back to his The Sixth Sense/Unbreakable level of quality. Check it out after the break. Split opens in North America […]

Ouija: Origin of Evil – Not At All Abominable!
2014’s Ouija was an abominable attempt at a horror movie. It placed 5th on our list of Bottom Feeders for 2014. The prequel – Ouija: Origin of Evil – is not abominable at all, it’s actually very good.
The Girl on the Train Is Derailed By Uninvolving Characters!
I once asked Mike Phillips and A.O. Scott what do you say when a movie is well made; the pace is appropriate for the story; the score is perfect; that cast are acting their hearts out – and the film just connect with you. One of them replied that I already had my answer. And […]

Jason Bourne Almost Makes It!
He knows everything. He remembers everything. It’s just that the everything he remembers isn’t the everything that there is to know. Couple that with the changes in the world since the last Jason Bourne film (WikiLeaks, Snowden, etc.) and the potential is there for a really terrific movie.
