  1. 'The Pledge' Review: Proof That a Great Cast Doesn't Guarantee a Great Movie

    'The Pledge' Review: Proof That a Great Cast Doesn't Guarantee a Great Movie

    Rotten Tomatoes - 78% IMDb - 6.7/10 OUR SCORES; Aaron - C Matt - D Shane - C THEME: Police/Detective Movies Chosen By: Shane Cronican Unfortunately, we end this theme rotation with another disappointment of failed potential. A thought provoking story with an incredible all-star cast just doesn't come together like it should.

    'The Frozen Ground Review': An Interesting Story Ruined By Poor Filmmaking

    Rotten Tomatoes - 60% IMDb - 6.4/10 OUR SCORES; Aaron - F Matt - F Nate - D Shane - D THEME: Police/Detective Movies Chosen By: Nate Dudley Based on the true story of the hunt for Alaska's most dangerous serial killer, with Nic Cage squaring off against John Cusack; The foundation is here for a great thriller. Unfortunately, inexperienced filmmaking, poor storytelling, ugly visuals, and awful acting make it a grind to get through.

    'In the Heat of the Night' Review: Better As a Racially Infused Drama Than a Murder Mystery

    Rotten Tomatoes - 96% IMDb - 7.9/10 OUR SCORES; Aaron - B Matt - B Shane - B THEME: Police/Detective Movies Chosen By: Matt McNeal In the Heat of the Night (1967) deserves its place in film history as a groundbreaking drama examining racial tension, and for having a masterful performance from Sidney Poitier. Unfortunately, the murder mystery at its core is uninspired and its conclusion is a rushed letdown.

    'Insomnia' Review: A Psychological Thriller Elevated By Powerhouse Performances

    Rotten Tomatoes - 92% IMDb - 7.2/10 Our Scores; Matt - B Shane - B Steve - B Theme: Police/Detective Movies Chosen By: Steve Rushlau Insomnia (2002) smartly forgoes the typical murder mystery trappings and becomes a tense cat-and-mouse thriller. The mystery takes a backseat to the psychological showdown between Al Pacino and Robin Williams, and they put on an acting clinic!

    'The Order' Review - Jude Law is Great; The Movie Around Him Falls Short

    Rotten Tomatoes - 93% IMDb - 6.8/10 Our Scores; Aaron - B Matt - C Nate - B Shane - C Theme: Police/Detective Movies Chosen By: Aaron Cronican Jude Law and Jurnee Smollett are fantastic as cops hunting a white supremacist leader (Nicholas Hoult). Unfortunately, director Justin Kurzel's detached style left us wanting more. A connection to the characters and a sense of urgency could have pushed this movie into the realm of greatness.

    Our Score - 6.66/10 Rotten Tomatoes - 78% IMDb - 7.5/10 Theme: Lovecraftian/Cosmic Horror Chosen By: Aaron Cronican Dark City (1998) builds an awe-inspiring world and has an incredibly original noir mystery with some out of this world twists.

  8. 'In the Mouth of Madness' Review: Lovecraft By Way Of John Carpenter? Yes, Please!

    JAN 19

    'In the Mouth of Madness' Review: Lovecraft By Way Of John Carpenter? Yes, Please!

    Our Score - 7/10 (B-) Rotten Tomatoes - 58% IMDb - 7.1/10 Theme: Lovecraftian/Cosmic Horror Chosen By: Shane Cronican As it is with the Lovecraftian genre as a whole, In the Mouth of Madness (1994) won't be for everyone. It is weird and it leaves you without any solid answers. That being said, when John Carpenter is steering the ship, it's always going to be a fun ride!
