It is nearly impossible to see this as [...]

Faith of Our Fathers – a.k.a. To the Wall (2015)
I have no objection to the output of PureFlix Entertainment. Christian movie goers should have their films on the big screen just as much as fans of horror or comedy or action pictures. The writers and directors of the films put out by PureFlix have set out on a mission, to give a forgotten audience […]
Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 (2015)
I am not as angry with Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 as I have reason to be. The movie is too lethargic and bland to earn any sort of rage; the closest I come to anger is that while I was watching the movie I had an intense desire to be anywhere else – a […]
The Longest Ride (2015)
Nicholas Sparks is the perennial schlock-meister of romantic goo-goo eyes. He has made a cottage industry of creating a romantically-tinged alternate universe in which the ups and downs of romance are beaten back by reading old love letters and restoring a house. His stories are worry-free fantasies designed for those who run screaming from anything […]

RoboCop (2014)
The remake of Robocop is a colossal miscalculation. I’m all for remakes that change up the original material, but this movie does it in such a way as to drain all the juice out of the material until we are left with a dull, boring, lifeless bag of sand. Let’s put it this way, that […]
The Purge (2013)
Why didn’t they just go to Europe? James DeMonaco’s “The Purge” operates on a premise that is so stupid that you feel like throwing rotten fruit at the screen. As you’re watching it, you hope that the screenplay will make up for its insipid ideas with a logical explanation, but no, this is one of […]
V/H/S (2012)
“V/H/S” is the latest in the “found footage” horror genre. Like “The Blair Witch Project” and “Paranormal Activity,” you are suppose to feel as if you are watching newly recovered raw footage that begins as an ordinary home movie but then goes horribly wrong. The chief problem is that the movie leans on a premise […]
