Review of Event Horizon (1997)

By Bret G (105) on 19 Oct 2014

Lovecraftian cosmic horror posing as sci-fi, Event Horizon is another almost good movie that earns bonus points for its trippy premise. Rent it…

Review of The Conjuring (2013)

By Bret G (105) on 19 Oct 2014

Review of The Woman Who Wasn't There (2012)

By Bret G (105) on 19 Oct 2014

Not a great documentary, but a smooth one, and important if only for reminding us that sociopaths/compulsive liars exist. Rent it…

Review of The Hunger Games (2012)

By Bret G (105) on 19 Oct 2014

The expanded POV is an improvement over the novel, and, thankfully, you won't have to put up with prose (just dialogue) by Collins, but the…

Review of Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)

By Bret G (105) on 19 Oct 2014

Not as fun (or smart) as its predecessor, 'The Golden Army' remains a successful sequel thanks to Del Toro's undiminished visual prowess. Rent it…

Review of Men in Black 3 (2012)

By Bret G (105) on 19 Oct 2014

The time travel aspect is inconsistent and doesn't make a lot of sense, but 'Men in Black III' is a massive improvement over its direct predecessor…

Review of The Pledge (2001)

By Bret G (105) on 19 Oct 2014

Its style is self-conscious, too many shots could (should) have been cut, and its narrative lacks satisfactory conclusion. Skip it…
