Red Lights (2012) - GOOD MOVIE

  Cillian Murphy and Sigourney Weaver are a pair of university lecturers by day, and moonlight as supernatural sleuths, revealing the fraud of supposed psychics everywhere and boasting of their success to anyone who will listen. When a world-famous psychic, "Silver", comes to town on a final tour before his retirement, Murphy is determined to prove he is just as much a fraudster as those who have come before him. But, as the twists pile up, everything is not as it seems. What starts out as a rather dull version of "Insidious", evolves into a poignant and charismatic thriller that will have you guessing and chasing the truth alongside the films protagonists. It is a breath of fresh air that has been diligently written to keep you glued to the screen from start to finish. There's one thing you should do, watch 'Red Lights'!

Premium Rush (2012) - GOOD MOVIE

  I've got to say, I loved this movie! Joseph Gordan-Levitt, as Wilee, a bike courier threading through the streets and alleys of Manhatten with the speed of a guy whose bike has no brakes, will spirit you along for the ride of a life-time. An excellent story, loaded with suspense, well told with casting that is absolutely perfect – seriously, there is not one character who is not precisely who he or she shouldn't be - this is one of the rare pictures with nothing left out that should be and nothing included that shouldn't be. I was tempted to close my eyes several times but didn't want to miss anything. Action galore and well done at that. I highly recommend this film!

The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) - BAD MOVIE

  Milking the spider. This is a yawner re-telling of the first umpteen Spider Man movies with a slightly different bad guy (he's even green). I'm going to put it out on the table. There is no possible "fresh" take on Spider Man at this point. The Spider Man story was played out before this movie was made. So why was this movie made? CHA-CHING. Brand recognition and a guaranteed box office. I honestly don't even think people are going to these horrible super hero movies because they want to see them. Maybe they have kids who are easily entertained, or The Scarecrow is pumping gas into the air that compels us to accept computer graphics en lieu of good movies.

  Do not believe the hype and the attacks on the original. This was nowhere near as colorful or fun as the 2002 movie.
