Get up and fight in the void
A legend amongst his peers, a rogue CIA agent is suspected of foul play, so they kidnap and lock him up in a submarine. Vesselful of conspiracies, things are bound to get volatile, thus begins a cat and mouse game that is, frankly speaking, fucking stupid.

Strangers in the hollow
After losing their daughter in a freak accident, they need a fresh start, Ray and Maggie, so they purchase a roadside motel. The thing is the motel has its secrets, a peeping hole (one-way mirror) for one and few other things the former owner chose not to mention. Although there must be method to his madness, Nicolas Cage keeps on building up his resume with trifling thrillers.

Forced to coexist
The island inhabited by dinosaurs is about to blow to kingdom come because a volcano is about to explode. So a group of scientiests and military gunslingers - both with different intentions - go there to rescue the poor endangered primal beasts. I'm usually very excited and inspired to watch these kind of blockbuster thingies, but it's funny how all the excitement just dies out when the movie is on.
Money is honey
This is so bad and horrible that it's downright entertaining in its silliness. It's like they were seriously trying to make a film something in the footsteps of Hard Rain (1998) and Twister (1996) but came up with Sharknado instead.

Here be precious and grace
Usually the scripts that revolve around prom night are either sweet sugary flicks of growing up or they are horror nasties. At first this seemed like the former and it is, in a way, but little nuances, black humour in between the lines, make a whole lot of difference. Would have done better without excess farceness and the last 20 minutes of syrupy mush, but better than expected.
The last black minute
Another one of illusionist Derren Brown's elaborate social experiments. Gone are the magic and the illusions and they've been replaced with carefully crafted scenarios where one human being acts opposite his primal instincts, opinions and beliefs. Not Derren Brown's best efforts, but his abilitity to stimulate human mind is mesmerising at times.
