Here is a summary of the films reviewed on today's show:
Focus is a mixed effort. Will Smith and Margot Robbie are a lot of fun to watch and the movie is never boring but the filmmakers botch a promising start with stupid plot twists and contrived character motivations.
The Lazarus Effect may entertain adolescent horror fans whose idea of cinematic terror is Paranormal Activity. But for everyone else, The Lazarus Effect lazily rips off a lot of other and better movies and throws them together in a horror mishmash that doesn’t make sense.
Thirty years after its release, Re-Animator remains an
impressive piece of sci-fi horror. It is a cult film and it is
certainly flawed but it’s also got a level of energy and imagination
that differentiate it from virtually any mad scientist picture made
before or since.
