Crisp, Efficient B Movie Is Just Right For VOD

Matt Damon Heads a Strong Cast, But the Fracking (not the BSG kind) Story is Bland

Another Dismal Effort from Gerard Butler

By embracing the heart of its premise, even at the risk of being too serious or emotional, this horror comedy manages to instantly fall into that timeless genre of animated movies that work as well, if not better, for adults than kids.

A Soap So Smooth It Practically Slides Off the Screen

Ridley Scott returns to the Alien universe with a not-a-prequel that struggles to justify its own existence, a gorgeous sci-fi thriller that does many things right even as it fails spectacularly with the concepts it wants to discuss.

It's morally deplorable and nihilistic to a fault, but there are laughs to be had with Project X. Just don't be surprised if you feel terrible about them after the fact.

This Shrek spin-off is a lightweight trifle that nonetheless runs circles around any of the stillborn Shrek sequels.

Spooky noises and unexplained phenomena retain their power to make you jump in your seat in the third installment of the Paranormal Activity franchise.

On Stranger Tides trades the incoherence of the last two Pirates movies for a disappointing blandness.

Priest avoids the trap of outright badness, instead settling for a thoroughgoing forgettableness.

This extended nerdgasm strives to please the hardcore so much that it almost forgets to actually be a movie.

Paranormal entities abound in this excellent horror sequel.

Boobs, blood and brainlessness are the order of the day here, and for fans of campy, gory monster movies, that should be all you need.

Though it loses steam as it goes along, Predators is a gleefully valiant (and gleefully violent) effort at injecting some measure of relevance back into this franchise.
