THE HUMAN RACE
Sort of a combination of
Stephen King’s THE LONG WALK and an episode of Outer Limits with some elements
of SAW. Good characters and is suspenseful
but a small budget hinders the effect of the narrative. A bigger budget would have helped.
OPEN GRAVE
A strong opening and an
intelligent handling of the momentum horror/mystery unfortunately gives way to
zombie movie clichés. Well made but it gets
trapped in genre. I did like the ending.
ANCHORMAN II
Laughed hard at the first
film which is chock full of wild hilarity but this is pretty awful. The rule of thumb here seems to be if it was
funny in the first film, do it again ad nauseum x100. By the end, I just wanted it to finish- it
feels very long. Repeating a joke doesn’t
make it funnier (unless you’re Rodney Dangerfield).
