Intruders (2011)
 Didn't really have high hopes for this one, as it seemed to be universally panned... But with my Man Clive Owen and an incredibly intriguing movie poster, I just couldn't help myself... But it was really a waste a time. You have a fairly interesting concept, two parallel stories that are intertwining, but ultimately the "twist" winds up being fairly easily predictable and the latter-half of the movie is incredibly overwrought. It's a pity because I would say that at least Director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo (28 Weeks Later and Intacto) was trying something different (and I do have to say that the daddy/daughter scenes between Clive Owen and Ella Purnell were utterly charming), but it was ultimately boring, predictable, and over-done. 2.25/5. ... Carnage (2011)  Carnage is Polanski 's latest feature film, adapted from the play God of Carnage by French playwright Yasmina Reza and stars an utterly brilliant cast of Jody Foster, John C. Reilly, Christoph Waltz, and Kate Winslet. The drama centers around two couples trying to settle a strife between their school-age sons civilly, but awkward conversation soon devolves into an incredibly tense character-driven black comedy. The acting is utterly ridiculously good, which is no surprise. Christoph Waltz is as menacing as a passive-aggressive egomaniac while Jody Foster is pathetically anxious and high-strung and Reilly and Winslet bring in fantastic performances as well. My only issue with this movie is that I'm not sure it translated all that well from stage to big screen. Plays have a certain claustrophobic element to them, being that all of the players are literally trapped on stage... But in this environment, I found myself asking what I ask all victims of a haunted house: "WHY DON'T YOU JUST LEAVE?!" Reminds me a bit of Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf but ultimately left me wanting more. It's not terrible... Just not as great as I had anticipated giving the cast, director, and source material. 2.75/5. ... Red Lights (2012)  I have to be honest; I'm such a fanboy. Just seeing that Sigourney Weaver and Cillian Murphy had top billing was enough to me (despite the red flags of awful trailers and the fact that I am now wary of anything that stars Robert De Niro). I should have listened to the part of me that said Wow. That movie looks just play awful. No wonder I haven't heard of it. Interesting concept (paranormal investigators who seek debunking "activities"), great cast, but it was BORING. BORING BORING. And then when it actually got interesting, it was so far-fetched that I just lost interest. It's worthy of note, though, that I experienced my first earthquake during an exciting table-shaking seance scene, so that was pretty horrifying and off-putting... But, sadly, it was the best part of the movie. 2/5.
