Mr. Brooks (2007)
Dec 31, 2007Serial Killer
Overlooked effort where Kevin Costner, in a surprisingly dark and undeniably effective turn, plays an everyday man who has a dark side as a serial killer. A very impressively outing on all levels

Detention (2011)
Nov 6, 2013Gonzo High School Film/Slasher Parody/Time Travel/Bodyswap
A film with insane creativity and spilling over with snide pop culture wit. Like a mash-up of Bad Kids Go to Hell, John Dies at the End and Back to the Future written by a love child of Kevin Williamson and Diablo Cody
World of Cars: Planes (2013)
Aug 10, 2013Disney Animation/Talking Aircraft
A spinoff from Pixar's Cars series (although is not in itself a Pixar film but comes from Disney) that sets out to do the same with anthropomorphic planes. Amiable, even likeable but more a wannabe that seems like it is trying to be than actually hits the cleverness and creative heights of Pixar
Planes: Fire & Rescue (2014)
Jul 20, 2014Disney Animation/Talking Aircraft
The second of Disney’s spinoffs from Pixar’s Cars films featuring talking anthropomorphic planes. Like the first film, this is amiable and occasionally cute but lightweight. This is beginning to feel like a franchise that is spinning out thinning ideas solely for its own sake
