Insidious: Chapter 3

Now this is the "Insidious" film I've been hoping for! Leigh Whannell made his directorial debut with this film he also wrote, and it turns out he's as gifted a director as he is a writer. The flow and feel of this film was deft and well-paced. I loved seeing Elise as a total badass, and filling in all the holes with this prequel was a genius stroke. The acting was very strong, and the palette dark and brooding. I really enjoyed this - a wonderful end to a series that only got stronger with each film. 4/5

Jobs

If we're giving Oscar nods to exceptional performances in safe films, where was Kutcher's last year? He's AMAZING in this. 4/5

Inhale

What was with the ridiculously unbelievable ending to this terribly average thriller? I didn't buy that at all. 2.5/5

Struck by Lightning

Chris Colfer's adaptation of this book left much to be desired for me - it felt flat & dull throughout. 3/5

The Grey

This thriller stopped making any sense at all at the beginning & just went downhill. Just didn't work for me, sorry. 2/5

J. Edgar

I actually found this "bio pic" of Hoover & DiCaprio's acting in it quite solid & interesting throughout. 3.5/5

Jolene

This film is WAAAY darker & more tragic than the previews implied. I kinda want to throw myself off a bridge now... 3/5
