Everyone waits until the year is over to compile their “Best of whatever” movie lists. This has become a mundane practice. Time for a bit of a change, kids.<\/em><\/p>\n

Talk about players that didn\u2019t apply themselves. Granted, Step Up Revolution<\/em> showed some hustle, but The Watch<\/em> barely went through the motions and [Rec]3<\/em> basically sold-out and forgot what brought the franchise to greatness. An argument can be made that these borderline bottom-feeders never should have step foot on the big stage.<\/p>\n

REVIEWS<\/strong> (click on title for full write-up)<\/p>\n

The Watch<\/a><\/p>\n

As the four vastly different personalities form a neighborhood watch group after a local murder occurs in a Costco store under the management of Stiller, thoughts of similar products that dance with this concept such as Ghostbusters<\/em>, The \u2018Burbs<\/em>, and Evolution<\/em>, gives one a slight hope that the script written by funnymen Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, and Jared Stern could be a gut-buster. Sadly it\u2019s a watch-checker.<\/p>\n

Step Up Revolution<\/a><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a warning for parents bringing their young ones into this flashy show-piece: some of the dance numbers could be considered soft porn in certain parts of the world (Midwest for sure). Many of the early gyrating moments, comprised of an agile cast wearing vibrant clothing, represents what would occur if a monster bag of Jolly Ranchers exploded in a strip club. Suggestive dancing coupled with an underlying theme of \u201cBreak the rules\u201d may not be the best thing for impressionable minds to see and hear. And for the record, if you have listened to my radio show, you\u2019ll know that this guy is definitely not conservative.<\/p>\n

[Rec]3 Genesis<\/a> (Full disclosure: This was my favorite horror property based on parts 1 & 2).<\/p>\n

The third installment in the POV horror franchise from Spain, which revolves around a deadly outbreak in an apartment building, tries to do something vastly different…And it fails miserably. What a letdown! The engaging story and tone found in its predecessors, is erased in favor of a more-or-less campy zombie survival flick. Plus, they nearly ditch all the POV \u2013 one of the few products that knew how to handle this aesthetic, and execute traditional cinematography more times than not. For whatever reason, writer\/director Paco Plaza went in a direction that tarnishes the solid work he did in [Rec]<\/em>; and therefore, how he evolved the story in [Rec]2<\/em> \u2013 all while keeping the elements that worked in the first installment present. [Rec]3<\/em> is nothing more than a polished Tales from the Crypt<\/em> movie. If it was called something else, it might be considered an average horror jaunt (hence why it didn\u2019t plummet further down in the rankings).<\/p>\n
