Here is a summary of the reviews from today's show:
The Purge: Anarchy does not live up to the potential of its premise and it suffers from a lot of fundamental story problems. The movie is acceptable as an action picture with a social edge to it but most of what’s here has been done before and done better in other movies.
Happy Christmas is well acted but it has nothing at its center holding it together. The film is poorly conceived and executed and it
comes across vacuous and self-indulgent.
Sex Tape attempts to mix raunchy comedy with a
relationship-centered story but the filmmakers aren’t successful with
either element. The movie isn’t raunchy enough and its concept is
poorly executed.
McCanick may be remembered for Cory Monteith’s last performance
but there is much more to this movie than that. This is an absorbing
and extremely well made story of crime and punishment that features a
terrifically intense performance by David Morse.
