Warts and all, "Sinners" is a wholly original motion picture full of bravura moments, strong performances, and horror-appropriate gore and violence.

Disposable entertainment that will put some spare change in the Disney coffers while never coming close to replacing its venerable antecedent in the hearts of viewers.

Blending factual story elements with fictional details, this proves to be a different sort of prison story that offers hope and redemption without schmaltz.

"September 5" finds a new angle for this story, thereby justifying its existence and putting it near the top of the group of motion pictures inspired by the Munich Massacre.

Most everything about Strangeland, from the writing to the acting to the camerawork to the editing, is Grade Z in quality – not just uncomfortable and off-putting but downright incompetent.

MPAA Rating: "NR"
Genre: Thriller
Director: Alfred Hitchcock
Cast: Joseph Cotten, Teresa Wright, Henry Travers, Patricia Collinge, Hume Cronyn, Macdonald Carey, Wallace Ford

Although a bona fide classic, the story so implausible that it holds together only because of the directorial skill of Hitchcock and the top-notch work of actors Joseph Cotten and Teresa Wright.

"Smile 2" uses the first installment as a jumping-off point for a story that is longer, deeper, just as unsettling, and more intense.

Will appeal strongly to those with a long and lasting connection to the popular late night show; others may find it too frenzied or lacking in a clear narrative through-line.

A feature film adaptation of the best novel from horror maestro Stephen King is deserving of something more epic than this throw-away production.
