Horror cheapie has a devil of a time feeling original. Review by Brandon Wolfe It happens every year. Some studio plops some cheapie exorcism/possession thriller into theaters hoping that enough undiscerning Friday night moviegoers will turn up before the film sinks like a stone. These films are virtually interchangeable. A pretty young woman starts acting oddly. Her loved ones grow concerned. Unexplained phenomena occurs. Blood is spilled (but not too much; gotta lock down that PG-13). A priest or a medium is brought in to help. The evil is vanquished…OR IS IT? The Vatican Tapes is this year’s version of that movie and it follows the playbook to the letter. The story centers on a young woman named Angela (Olivia Taylor Dudley) whose life seems idyllic, save for the fact that her stern, Irish Catholic father (Dougray Scott, taking a break from sticking needles in his Hugh Jackman voodoo doll) does not approve of her doting live-in boyfriend (John Patrick Amedori). Angela lapses i...

Official trailer and one-sheet for Pantelion Films' THE VATICAN TAPES starring Michael Peña (AMERICAN HUSTLE, END OF WATCH), Olivia Taylor Dudley (TRANSCENDENCE, CHERNOBYL DIARIES), Djimon Hounsou (GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY, BLOOD DIAMOND, GLADIATOR), Dougray Scott (TAKEN 3, HITMAN, MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE II) and directed by Mark Neveldine (CRANK). The film will release theatrically on July 24, 2015. THE VATICAN TAPES follows the ultimate battle between good and evil - God versus Satan. Angela Holmes (OLIVIA TAYLOR DUDLEY) is an ordinary 27-year-old until she begins to have a devastating effect on anyone close, causing serious injury and death. Holmes is examined and possession is suspected, but when the Vatican is called upon to exorcise the demon, the possession proves to be an ancient satanic force more powerful than ever imagined. It's all up to Father Lozano (MICHAEL PEÑA) to wage war for more than just Angela's soul, but for the world as we know it. "...

Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance Review by Brandon Wolfe Look who's made a return it's out guest movie review Brandon. He is a simple man. Uncomplicated-simple, not dumb-simple, of course. Let's see how his review compared to Matt's review of the film. Mounting a sequel to 2007’s dismal and dull Ghost Rider seemed like one of the less arduous tasks in recent Hollywood history. If the bar had been set any lower, it would have been buried nine feet deep in the earth. Really, all any sequel would have had to accomplish to claim a minor victory would be to not be astoundingly terrible, and Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance pulls off this most meager of feats. Directed by Neveldine/Taylor , the junk-auteur duo responsible for the Crank films, Vengeance is a trashier, more low-rent affair. It strikes a less polished, more grindhouse-esque aesthetic than the original, which arguably better befits the schlocky material. However, it is still not what you’d call good. Tak...

Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance Movie Review  By: Matt  Does Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance redeem the franchise or cast it further into reboot hell? Matt is back with another great review.    Note: major plot spoilers ahead! Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance is a weird movie. Unlike the zaniness of The Dark Backward or even the mother of weirdness Begotten, GRSOV gives off the strange party-guest-who-holds-up-the-wall vibe than offering something truly unique. From the outset, you realize that this sequel to the 2007 yawn-fest wants to be different, recognized, and respected. After the first Ghost Rider was plagued with mailed-in performances and an action-heavy script, a new team was brought in, led by directors Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor . These guys are better known for 90-minute action films (Crank, Crank: High Voltage) than for their abilities as cinematic heavy-hitters. Add to the fact that GR was financed by the relatively unknown and seco...
