The Phantom of the Megaplex (2000)

Saw V (2008)
Oct 31, 2008Killer's Sadistic Games
Fifth of the Saw films. By now the series has developed such a complicated backstory it is difficult following how it all pieces together
Pegasus vs. Chimera (2012)
Jun 14, 2017Fantasy Adventure
One of the numerous ‘vs' films that came out after Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus, this is actually a B-budget fantasy adventure made for cable. This is not particularly bad, just routine and uninspired on all counts where the budget cramps any of its imaginative horizons
Brick Mansions (2014)
May 2, 2014Near Future Action/Walled-Off Ghetto
The English-language remake of the Luc Besson-produced Banlieue 13. The electrifying parkour scenes of the original now seem routine and the film's social set-up so thinly sketched as to be negligible as science-fiction
Trespassers (2018)
Oct 12, 2021Home Invasion Thriller
Solidly effective thriller where four friends’ getaway at a luxury home turns into murder followed by a brutal home invasion
