Prom Night

Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid. Who in Hollywood greenlights these kind of projects? There wasn't a single moment of innovative or creative thought in this entire script. Entirely formulaic, and not a bit scary or intense at all...

Maybe I should dedicate myself to writing a completely predictable horror film script, cram in every cliched trick in the genre, and sell it to some desperate studio for big bucks. I literally could have written this script in a day. Just awful...

Shame on you, Stringer Bell...

The Invisible

Well, this movie made no sense really. There is meant to be (I think) some lesson about the connection between life and death and unfinished business, etc.  But the point is muddled here. The main character is beaten within an inch of his life and goes into some purgatory state where he can see everyone but is essentially invisible to the living. His physical body is hidden and left for dead, and he strives to somehow convince those responsible for his near-death to have a moral epiphany and right their wrongs. 

Again, it makes no sense and it essentially felt like a long episode of The Ghost Whisperer. Yeah, that bad...

Charlie Bartlett

While technically in a supporting role, Robert Downey Jr. is the clear star of Charlie Bartlett.  It seems like everything he has done in the last few years has turned to gold.  I liked Anton Yelchin as the protagonist, but the plot seemed a bit too reminiscent of other 'fish out of water' type movies. Nothing in the film really stood out as original or creative. The top-notch cast in the film probably drives it, making it exponentially more watchable. Half the cast of Degrassi was in it as well in bit parts. Very cool...I love Degrassi.
