A Creepy Kev Comment on ­Dark Skies (2013) ­

Another interesting twist on the haunted house that quickly goes in an interesting direction. Earnest performances from a good cast and subtle, sparing use of visual effects kept it grounded. I went into this one jaded and with low expectations, but I'll be damned if it didn't give me the chills on a few occasions. Recommended. Turn off the lights and let it suspend your disbelief.

A Creepy Kev Comment on The Ledge (2011)

Picked this one based on my continuing post­ Sons Of Anarchy Charlie Hunnam binge as well as the film's purported pro­reason stance. Plus, the writer/director is a descendant of Charles Darwin himself, so bonus, right? No. This tepid piece of crap is amateur hour through and through, from the atrocious acting to every technical credit I can think of. It should be renamed The Room 2: Atheist Agenda ­ it's that bad. Presenting its hero as such an ignorant, selfish, amoral jerk, it does nothing good for the image of atheists. Plus it makes such awful, amateurish arguments for its message, it was embarrassing to watch. A direct punch to the groin of all logic and reason. Another one of those films that makes you wonder how this thing actually got greenlit, and how did all these halfway respectable actors (not counting Liv Tyler ­ she's terrible all the time) get snagged into this? Stay far away.
