Dec 4, 2013Romantic Film/Fantastic Twist Ending
Weepie romantic chick flick adapted from a Nicholas Sparks novel, included here for a fantastic twist ending. Sparks has stolen much of his plot from Stephen King's Rose Madder. Even as such, wife-beating as the backdrop to a romance casts a distasteful shadow over the exercise

Jun 24, 2017Teen Power-Suit Superheroes

The Maze Runner was a solid Young Adult effort that built out an effective Conceptual Breakthrough story; this the second of two sequels that feel like a series of canned action scenes in search of a purpose
