Movie reviews of Derrick Carter

The Other Woman

5.0

2014, Comedy, Love

It’s tolerable and that’s about the biggest compliment I can give it.

2014.04.26

The Amazing Spider-Man

5.8

2012, Adventure, Fantasy, Action

Winds up being a serviceable superhero flick that pales in comparison to a decade full of outstanding ones thus far!

2014.04.23

The Human Stain

5.8

2003, Drama, Suspense, Love

The performances are the only aspect that save this movie and make it worth a casual viewing.

2014.04.21

Wolf Creek 2

7.5

2013, Horror, Suspense

For horror fans only, but those who appreciate this genre will probably dig this one a lot.

2014.04.19

Transcendence

0.0

2014, Drama, Suspense, Science fiction, Mystery

Doesn’t wind up transcending any of its problems and falls victim to being a shitty movie.

2014.04.18

Rio 2

2.5

2014, Adventure, Animation, Music, Comedy

Flies in a couple of areas and crashes in nearly every other aspect.

2014.04.18

Stage Fright

6.7

2014, Horror

Though it’s messy (in both gore and the tone), this is an enjoyable way to kill some time.

2014.04.15

Homefront

2.5

2013, Action, Suspense

A pretty big letdown in the sense that it could have been big dumb fun.

2014.04.15

Chilling Visions: 5 Senses of Fear

5.0

2013, Horror

Really isn’t worth watching as a whole. LISTEN is the best story and TASTE is okay.

2014.04.15

The Raid 2

10

2014, Action, Suspense, Crime

The Godfather with elements of The Departed set in Indonesia with tons of kick-ass action scenes.

2014.04.11

Oculus

8.3

2013, Horror

Winds up being well worth a watch and also might be one of the better horror films to come out this year!

2014.04.11

Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa

10

2013, Action, Comedy, Crime

One of the funniest comedies I’ve seen in a very long time!

2014.04.09

Enemy

8.3

2013, Suspense, Mystery

A dark story meant to be looked over and analyzed...

2014.04.07

Knights of Badassdom

2.5

2013, Adventure, Fantasy, Horror, Comedy

A forced comedy that’s seldom funny.

2014.04.06

Captain America: The Winter Soldier

10

2014, Adventure, Action, Science fiction

Risks are taken. Stakes are raised to incredible heights. Surprises wait around every corner. Fight scenes will keep the viewer on edge.

2014.04.05

Afflicted

7.5

2014, Horror, Suspense

Lee and Prowse produce moments of excellence that were, to put it into a single word, stunning.

2014.04.05

Cloverfield

6.7

2008, Action, Suspense, Science fiction

A blast of big dumb fun.

2014.04.03

Cool Hand Luke

8.3

1967, Drama, Crime

While there are plenty that will call this film a masterpiece, I have to call it out on some unnecessary scenes and weak character development...

2014.04.02

Sabotage

5.0

2014, Drama, Action, Suspense, Crime

A serviceable crime thriller, rather than the unrealized creepy one it was building on for a majority of the running time.

2014.04.01

Noah

9.1

2014, Adventure, Drama

A slightly flawed biblical epic that I plan on revisiting many times in the future.

2014.04.01

Bad Words

6.7

2013, Comedy

An enjoyable romp for those who aren’t easily offended by curse words or sex jokes.

2014.03.31

Need for Speed

1.6

2014, Drama, Action, Suspense, Crime

Lasts far too long, constantly weaves into unnecessary dramatic territory, and is riddled with plot-holes.

2014.03.30

Lone Survivor

10

2013, Drama, Action, Suspense, War

An intense and powerful experience that’s well worth your time!

2014.03.29

Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit

5.8

2014, Drama, Action, Suspense

Entertaining enough and builds to an exciting action-packed finale.
