  1. To be fair to Curtis, Off the Rails is more like a Richard Curtis make-your-own-dramedy at-home game, with each character’s personality stamped on a card and they roll the dice to see which complications ensue.
  2. Sometimes researching the background of a movie proves more revealing than the film itself.
  3. It’s awful by any metric you apply.
  4. An hour and 40 minutes of noise without any tension or sense of purpose, Borderlands would be Exhibit Z in the conventional wisdom that video games don’t transfer well filmically – that is, if recent efforts like The Last of Us or Fallout hadn’t proved otherwise.
  5. Perhaps the only scary thing about the new horror movie The Curse of La Llarona is the fear of mispronouncing the title.
  6. No one sets out to make a bad film, but at over two hours, the shot-in-Toronto Big Gold Brick seems like a bunch of ideas that must have looked good on paper, but just didn’t gel. Both Garcia and Isaac are terrific actors, and charismatic as hell. But neither can bring this listless film to life.
  7. The script is a dazed, meandering, thing, involving drugs, pornography, neon-lit slo-mo, debauched starlets, car chases, soft-core sex scenes and loud gun fights.
  8. Nemesis is a low-grade gangster saga with a home-invasion twist and a cast that sounds like bigger stars from other movies.
