The Rite (2011)
Rating: ★★★½
Jan 29, 2011Demonic Possession and Exorcism/"True Story"
Full-blooded possession and exorcism that takes its Catholic cant seriously and emerges as dramatically gripping, with Anthony Hopkins delivering a tour-de-force performance. Supposedly based on a true story.

Feb 8, 2012Jules Verne Adaptation/Island of Giant Fauna
Sequel to Journey to the Center of the Earth, a supposed adaptation of Jules Verne's Mysterious Island and a consistently silly, nonsensical film that operates at the level of a children's cartoon

Nov 21, 2012North Korean Invasion of the USA
The idea of remaking John Milus's ridiculous 1984 survivalist fantasy about a Communist invasion of the USA maybe counts as one of the most absurdly unnecessary of all remakes. The film laughably tries to deal with the absence of a Soviet Union by creating a boogeyman out of North Korea

Sep 11, 2016Clairvoyance Thriller
This was intriguingly once planned as a Se7en sequel but I felt uninspired as it seems just another clairvoyant murder mystery. On the other hand, it is grippingly well written and has some great performances. With the introduction of a rival clairvoyant halfway through, it however becomes something amazing

Rampage (2018)
Rating: ★★½
Oct 27, 2018Videogame Adaptation/Giant Animals Amok
The idea of Dwayne Johnson facing a giant gorilla in an adaptation of a 1980s arcade game doesn’t exactly shout out Academy Award material; on the other hand, appreciated as a zero expectation cartoon of a film and the mindless mass destruction spectacle it is, this works in a goofily entertaining way
