One Sentence Review: The Innkeepers

With a nice balance of humor and creeps, The Innkeepers is a low-budget ghost story that works and doesn’t treat its audience like idiots by recapping all that’s happened to explain the ending.

One Sentence Review: Underworld: Awakening

Bad enough for great MST3K-style jokes yet good enough to be an entertaining diversion, the aging Underworld series at least continues to make Beckinsale look hot in a black, leather corset.

Rating: Matinee for fans of the series; Wait for DVD for fans of action; Late-Night Cable Fodder for everyone else

It would seem that four films in Brad Bird can do no wrong as his leap to live-action film is every bit as exciting as his animated films.
