Twilight
Barely OK 17 Points 2008

Ok, so I put off seeing this for many years, but I finally bit the bullet and watched the teenage phenomena fueling Twilight. Well, apparently I wasn’t missing much. Other than the beautiful Washington rainy backdrop, it was an amalgam of unlikely events strung together to highlight the the tee…

The Mummy Returns
Barely OK 66 Points 2001

Oh, wait. This was a movie? Seemed more an FX ride with dialogue. I’m all for silly summer blockbusters, FX heavy and logic lite. But this one is so over-the-top that it’s distancing. Boredom follows quickly. And that’s deadly, no matter how magical the spells it seeks to cast.

The movie …

I Am Number Four
OK 17 Points 2011

I saw one reviewer call this Twilight – but in alien form. I think they got it right. Basically a teen fantasy story about a group of aliens who escaped their enemies by fleeing to earth – only their pursuers caught up with them. The rest of the story is as you’d expect of this neo-fantasy genr…

OK 12 Points 2010

While this parody of the Twilight Saga movies has a fair number of chuckle moments and one LOL moment, it does not live up to this genre’s greats (such as the original Scary Movie). I have only ever watched the 1st Twighlight movie, "Breaking D…

Diary of the Dead
OK 16 Points 2007

George A. Romero, father of the zombie sub-genre of horror, gives us another tale of the living dead. Rather than continuing the dead series story, he chose to start over from the beginning, already having the sequel to Diary of the Dead lined up. Unless the film takes a very different approach f…

The Mummy
OK 17 Points 2017

Such a drop-dead easy movie to make. After all, since the 50’s, mummy movies have been a successful stable. Who knew that Russell Crowe and Tom Cruise could take it to such a low. The scorned-woman who makes a deal with the devil was just too far afield for me, and in the end, the film seemed l…

Mama
Good 66 Points 2013

Ghost stories should all be as good as Mama, as should Jessica Chastain performances. While the teens in Mama’s PG-13 demographic may not care about Chastain, we adults dragged along for the ride do. Fortunately everyone will value seeing a first-rate ghost story – spooky, startling, affectin…
