Kreepy Kevs Commentary: Ghostbusters (2016)

Just saw the much-maligned new Ghostbusters reboot film. First, as many had feared would happen upon seeing it, my childhood was actually NOT ruined. Second, it was quite good. Not as good as the original, not even close, but I will risk my reputation as a film fan and say it was better than 1989's Ghostbusters II, which I never cared for. Even as a child I remember being disappointed by it's in unoriginality. I just went into the new film with no expectations and found myself laughing out loud more than expected and even creeped out a few times. A hell of a lot more fun than the doubters are willing to give it credit. Also, Kate McKinnon is a national treasure.

A Moment with Kreepy Kev: 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 Moment with Kreepy Kev: The Ledge (2011)

Picked this one based on my continuing post-Sons Of Anarchy Charlie Hunnam binge as well as the film's purported pro-reason 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.

Kreepy Kev Comments on The Colony (2013)

(The Colony has) Decent production values, competent direction, a couple of A­-listers in a cast of mostly unkowns... easily the ingredients for a good time in the arctic apocalypse, right? Not with a script that starts out iffy and becomes more and more insipid as it progresses. This must be how guys like Bill Paxton and Lawrence Fishburne make extra cash between real gigs. Stay away from this turd.
