- DirectorJennifer KiraboStarsShelly ShenoyMike DiGiacintoLizzy PlimptonA glimpse into the lives of an ensemble of characters leading up to the moment the world changed forever - 8:46 a.m. Tuesday September 11, 2001.
- DirectorLarry FessendenStarsRon PerlmanJames Le GrosConnie BrittonSent to evaluate the environmental impact of oil drilling in the Arctic, James Hoffman clashes with the drilling crew's chief, who wants to get the job done.Haunting. An unexpected "find" that -- a year after seeing it for the first time -- still resonates.
- DirectorLucky McKeeStarsLauren BirkellAgnes BrucknerJane GilchristSet in 1965 New England, a troubled girl encounters mysterious happenings in the woods surrounding an isolated girls school that she was sent to by her disinterested parents.One persons Falburn Academy is another persons Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Ah, well. Five stars for Patricia Clarkson in a performance perhaps a little too complex for what the role demands. Subtract two stars for a rushed and too-pat ending. but add one for attempting an homage to Argentos Suspira. Not for Saw fans.
- DirectorJamie BlanksStarsJim CaviezelClaudia KarvanStarA vacationing couple in the wilderness learns what happens when they disrespect nature.
- DirectorMatthew SavilleStarsBrendan CowellMaia ThomasKatie WallThis is a story about the wrong person in the right place at the wrong time. Two heinous crimes have left a suburban town reeling.
- DirectorBong Joon HoStarsSong Kang-hoByun Hee-BongPark Hae-ilA monster emerges from Seoul's Han River and begins attacking people. One victim's loving family does what it can to rescue her from its clutches.
- DirectorGilles Paquet-BrennerStarsTim AllenMischa BartonDarla BiccumSupervising the razing of a mysterious building, a young demolition engineer discovers past inhabitants entombed within its walls by a vicious murderer. Now she must turn the tables before she becomes the killer's latest victim.Any movie on a double-bill with Windcroft, as this one was, would tower in comparison. Even so, there is something inherently haunting about this film -- not the acting nor even the story so much as the building itself and the glimpses of its few remaining tenants. There could have been a much better movie here, but this is a capable programmer.
- DirectorEvan MeszarosStarsJoe RyanVanessa DanielsMonica KnightOn a remote farm in the sweeping hills of Pennsylvania, three lives are torn apart by love, abandonment, deception and murder.No need to worry about spoilers here -- paint drying comes to mind. To be clear: nothing happens for 90 minutes, then something happens, and then the movie's over. Feel free to check my math, but don't say you weren't warned. The only reason I'm giving this one star is because I was born in Pennsylvania (and I couldn't publish this review without one).
- DirectorMalcolm IngramStarsJim BishopTerry CappsBill CurtisThe story of community in the Deep South that is forced to deal with the struggles of ignorance, hypocrisy and oppression.
- DirectorColin StrauseGreg StrauseStarsEric BalfourDonald FaisonScottie ThompsonStrange lights descend on the city of Los Angeles, drawing people outside like moths to a flame where an extraterrestrial force threatens to swallow the entire human population off the face of the Earth.Forget the negative reviews -- here and from the people who get paid to review movies. This is actually a nifty little Saturday afternoon sci-fi film. But there is a catch: you MUST STOP WATCHING 15 minutes before the end of the picture... really, trust me, just stop, no good can come from seeing the cheesy ending. If you insist on watching it, don't say you weren't warned. Other than that -- good effects (L.A., once again, in big trouble), some believable suspense and truly tense situations, interesting set-up, and tolerable acting (but, admit it, acting isn't really why you watch a movie like this, is it?)
- DirectorRon HowardStarsTommy Lee JonesCate BlanchettEvan Rachel WoodIn 1885 New Mexico, a frontier medicine woman forms an uneasy alliance with her estranged father when her daughter is kidnapped by an Apache brujo.

- DirectorBrett SullivanStarsRoger SharpeRick StettaSam HarveyWhat made more money than the entire American movie industry through the 50s and 60s? Pinball. Special When Lit rediscovers the lure of a lost pop icon. A product of the mechanical and electrical age, the American invention swept the world and defined cool.

- DirectorShane Van DykeStarsShane Van DykeMarie WestbrookBruce DavisonA century after the fateful voyage of the original, modern luxury liner Titanic II sets sail. Will this ship suffer the same fate as her namesake?Lets be perfectly clear: This movie is dreadful. Awful. From the collagen in Brooke Burns lips to the 666-Call-Me late night escorts draped from Shane Van Dykes arms... terrible. If you can accept the souvenir-laden, back-pack toting, tank top/flip-flop & shorts tourist crowd that frequents the Queen Mary as the lucky passengers of the inaugural voyage of the T2, then youll probably accept the Queen Mary as a stand in for the doomed (again), steaming from her berth in Long Beach past the Statue of Liberty in 5 minutes flat. Final warning: this is not THAT KIND of bad movie. It really is just one monstrous waste of time. Dont be fooled by the single star rating -- they make you give at least one.
- DirectorFritz LangStarsPeter LorreEllen WidmannInge LandgutWhen the police in a German city are unable to catch a child-murderer, other criminals join in the manhunt.

- DirectorTarsem SinghStarsLily CollinsJulia RobertsArmie HammerAn evil queen steals control of a kingdom and an exiled princess enlists the help of seven resourceful rebels to win back her birthright.Be honest.... there are really only two reasons why you would be drawn to this film if you're not a parent looking for a two hour respite from your kiddies: (1) Julia Roberts and/or (2) a possibly pathological affection for fairy tale movies. In either case, you will be rewarded. Solidly entertaining once you grow accustomed to Lily Collins' eyebrows and visually striking. Don't let the dour cineastes ruin your fun.
- DirectorTi WestStarsSara PaxtonPat HealyKelly McGillisDuring the final days at the Yankee Pedlar Inn, two employees determined to reveal the hotel's haunted past begin to experience disturbing events as old guests check in for a stay.

- DirectorRobert ZemeckisStarsDenzel WashingtonNadine VelazquezDon CheadleTroubling questions arise after airline pilot Whip Whitaker makes a miracle landing after a mid-air catastrophe.
- DirectorJoe CarnahanStarsLiam NeesonDermot MulroneyFrank GrilloAfter their plane crashes in Alaska, six oil workers are led by a skilled huntsman to survival, but a pack of merciless wolves haunts their every step.There are films that, no matter the gaps in plausibility (and The Grey has a few), stays with you, even haunts you. The Grey is such a movie. There is a vastness to it, both in metaphysic and geographic landscape, that is humbling. It asks big questions that can't be answered by the film or the viewer. As an adventure movie, it has everything going for it -- stunning scenery, implacable nature, determined characters. But it is no "Never Cry Wolf"... this is grim and harrowing and you should be prepared. Whether you will be rewarded for your patience is entirely a personal matter, I think. But whether you're left pensive or throwing the remote at the screen, this is not a movie that will leave you indifferent.
- DirectorGary RossStarsJennifer LawrenceJosh HutchersonLiam HemsworthKatniss Everdeen voluntarily takes her younger sister's place in the Hunger Games: a televised competition in which two teenagers from each of the twelve Districts of Panem are chosen at random to fight to the death.

- DirectorScott WalkerStarsNicolas CageVanessa HudgensJohn CusackAn Alaska State Trooper partners with a young woman who escaped the clutches of serial killer Robert Hansen to bring the murderer to justice. Based on actual events.
- DirectorJohn Erick DowdleStarsChris MessinaCaroline DhavernasBokeem WoodbineA group of people are trapped in an elevator and the Devil is mysteriously amongst them.Tight film. Low on gore, high on tension. Much, much better than some of the critics and nay-sayers portray it as being. If you're put off by its association with M. Night Shyamalan, rest assured it hasn't been ruined by his heavy handling. Even if you've read the spoilers, it still packs a punch with some of the best cinematography ever seen in a low budget film. Recommended for those of us who are still somewhat afraid of the dark and sick of splatter film pretending to be horror.
- DirectorFrancis LawrenceStarsJennifer LawrenceJosh HutchersonLiam HemsworthKatniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark become targets of the Capitol after their victory in the 74th Hunger Games sparks a rebellion in the Districts of Panem.
- DirectorRenny HarlinStarsHolly GossMatt StokoeLuke AlbrightA group of students go to the location of the infamous Dyatlov pass incident to make a documentary, but things take a turn for the worse as the secret of what happened there is revealed.Oh...what happened to Renny Harlin? The real Dyatlov Pass incident is dripping with material, pregnant with possibilities and Harlin can only come up with this derivative nonsense? Is this the same director who did Long Kiss Goodnight and Deep Blue Sea? A let down. 'Course, like our intrepid student documentary makers, I didn't let a few bad reviews stop me from watching it, just proceed with caution and the understanding that you will never get this two hours back.
- DirectorJim SheridanStarsDaniel CraigRachel WeiszNaomi WattsSoon after moving into their seemingly idyllic new home, a family learns of a brutal crime committed against former residents of the dwelling.I'm usually pretty good about sussing things out, knowing where the trap doors are, but I admit that I went right down the rabbit hole with Will midway through this film. A lot of people have criticized the conceit of Dream House -- whether they were expecting another Amityville opus or simply thought it went a twist too far -- and I'll give them their due. But a great cast really gives this something unique. And even though the story gets a little thread-bare at the end, there's an unexpected satisfaction to it. You might want to watch this with someone else, not because it's particularly scary but because it almost demands to be discussed.
- DirectorJonathan WinfreyStarsVictor WebsterJennifer SpenceRichard HarmonA meteorite brings ice and freezing temperatures, which threatens to harm the residents of a small town at Christmas.
- StarsNatalia TenaIwan RheonJamie DravenThe government cover-up of the causes behind a massive explosion in a futuristic UK metropolis spur photo journalist Jennifer Preston on to search for the truth and in the process blow open a paranormal phenomenon haunting the city.
- DirectorCraig GillespieStarsRyan GoslingEmily MortimerPaul SchneiderA delusional young man strikes up an unconventional relationship with a doll he finds on the Internet.Lars doesn't live in the real world. He doesn't know how lucky he is. And, by the end of this preposterous and irresistable film, we can't help feeling homesick for the little corner of the world in which he resides. Ultimately this is not just a story about Lars' delusion, but about our own yearning for a kinder, more loving place. Not a false note from Ryan Gosling about whom you must care to make this movie work. Five stars if you enjoy a good happy/sad cry, four stars if you don't.
- DirectorLansing C. HoldenIrving PichelStarsHelen GahaganRandolph ScottHelen MackA group of explorers search of the legendary "flame of life," a mysterious force that bestows immortality.Not your father's H. Rider Haggard, nor even your grandfather's -- this is a relic from a time when movies were NEW and everything was NOVEL. If you can imagine it in its own time, this is an enjoyable trip back through social mores, acting styles (centered around microphones hidden around the movie set), and inchoate special effects. Better yet, if you have a cold and would just like to doze in and out of the story (the way you did when you were 9 and on the sofa), this is perfect. Of course, everyone knows the story of Helen Gahagan Douglas (who coined the nickname "Tricky Dick" about her opponent for a California Senate seat, Richard Nixon). And it was produced by Meriam C. Cooper of KING KONG fame, though this is not nearly as ambitious. It's well worth a lazy afternoon.
- DirectorTravis FortStarsPatrick LabyorteauxJulie McCulloughKatie WilsonA volcanic eruption in Iceland sends a glacier towards North America, causing everything in it's path to freeze. A family man struggles to escape the onslaught of the coming ice age.Awful. No, really... just awful. It would be an injustice to "spoilers" to include them here.
- DirectorBrian Trenchard-SmithStarsMichael ShanksAlexandra DaviesSaskia HampeleWhen a solar eclipse sends a colossal blast of super chilled air towards the earth, it then sets off a catastrophic chain of events that threatens to engulf the world in ice and begin a new Ice Age.If it's spring in Australia, why is it also spring in London? And there you have it. It is what it is and if you belong to the market for this kind of movie -- and we all know who we are -- it isn't the worst of its kind.
- DirectorFreddie FrancisKen WiederhornStarsMichael MoriartyJenny AgutterCarol LynleyA partially under construction office tower is being haunted by a deadly presence which seems to target the building's architect.Rarer than a hen's tooth when I can, without hesitation, agree with my fellow members who grudgingly, I'm sure, awarded this movie a single star. How much ineptitude does it require to cause Moriarty, Lynley, Bikel and McCarthy to behave like rank amateurs? I use the word 'behave' because it certainly isn't acting. Desultory in every conceivable way. Half-baked and ill-conceived. In other words, a mess and not even a very imaginative one. Only one question: what happened that caused this film to be so bad?
- DirectorDarren AronofskyStarsNatalie PortmanMila KunisVincent CasselNina is a talented but unstable ballerina on the verge of stardom. Pushed to the breaking point by her artistic director and a seductive rival, Nina's grip on reality slips, plunging her into a waking nightmare.Lets get the heresy out of the way: Black Swan really isnt ALL THAT. It may be the best picture about one womans descent into madness (Requiem for a Dream, another Aronosky opus, doesnt count) since Repulsion, but it is not Repulsion; if you really want to crawl across broken glass, I recommend you seek out Polanskis classic and compare. Which is not to say that Portman wasnt brilliant but, like the character she plays, there was entirely too much White Swan and not nearly enough Black Swan. Hence, the feeling at the end of being slightly cheated. Entertaining enough if you go into it without too many expectations. This is a 3 Star movie with 5 Star performances, hence a 4 Star review.
- DirectorPeter JacksonStarsRachel WeiszMark WahlbergSaoirse RonanCenters on a young girl who has been murdered and watches over her family - and her killer - from purgatory. She must weigh her desire for vengeance against her desire for her family to heal.Peter Jackson (Lord of the Rings) directs a movie based on a best-selling (and much loved) novel from Alice Sebold with a truly great cast -- this film should have everything going for it, but, except for the cast. every expectation going-in works against it. You know before sitting down to the movie -- by reading the book, by reading the reviews, or just by listening to the first 15 minutes of Saoirse Ronans voice-over -- that Susie Salmon (as in fish) has been murdered. (The movie spares us of the most horrific details.) We even know who did it. Its impossible to write spoilers about details revealed so quickly and almost matter-of-factly. Whats left is a kind of teen-age version of What Dreams May Come harnessed to two competing narratives: when will her murderer be discovered and how will her family heal? These two narratives require different pacing and tone that never quite seem to compliment one another. That said: Saoirse Ronan shines, Tucci is unforgettably evil, Susan Sarandon is a joy, and the rest of the cast gives it their all. This movie will probably never completely satisfy you, but it will continue to attract an audience because of the book, the director, and the actors.
- DirectorJi-hoon KimStarsKim Sang-kyungSol Kyung-guSon Ye-jinA Christmas Eve party at a luxury residential building takes a horrific turn when a fire breaks out.Fans of disaster movies, rejoice! This film truly does have it all. The formula may seem familiar to anyone who has seen Towering Inferno or any other Irwin Allen extravaganza -- characters that you care about, characters that you hate. The special effects are convincing and the situations are harrowing. This is the fourth Korean "genre" film that I've seen -- The Host and Tidal Wave are still available to stream, but Sector 7 has been removed. I would recommend all of these movies for any entertaining good time.
