Summary and Review[]
Oblivion[]
“ Oblivion is a new science-fiction film from visionary director, some guy who made Tron 2. In the film, Tom Cruise plays a guy who repairs things on Earth after it's been destroyed by an evil, alien force [...] Oblivion is The Matrix meets Total Recall meets Independence Day meets Wall-E meets Planet of the Apes Meets the Fockers. - Mike Stoklasa”
The Lords of Salem[]
“ The Lords of Salem is the newest horror picture from director Rob Johnson [...] In the film, an ancient curse is revived in the town of Salem, bringing back witches and their evil plot to conjure up the son of Satan. It's a movie featuring weird visuals, bad acting, and uncomfortable nudity. The movie's run time is approximately 100 minutes and it contains a plot. Sort of. — Jay Bauman”
