THE SIGNAL
Divided into three separate segments (dubbed here as “transmissions”) – each one the work of a different director – THE SIGNAL is an effective post-apocalyptic/pseudo-zombie flick about a broadcast signal that causes nearly everyone to become homicidal. The first part in particular does what the best entries in the genre do: it creates a tense, scary portrayal of a world going gradually (but nonetheless exponentially) to hell that you can be horrified by. Things do go a bit downhill from there, with the second part shifting a bit too drastically (but not fully committed) into SHAUN OF THE DEAD territory, while the third becomes too cerebral and lets the movie whimper itself into an ending. Nevertheless, as a whole to film is recommendable for those wanting to watch a solid gory, end-of-the-world horror movie.
Overall rating: B

LEATHERHEADS
From the original review: “George Clooney’s LEATHERHEADS is two movies when it should have really been one. The film fumbles in and out – seemingly blindly at times – of being a nostalgic throw-back to the screwball comedies of the 1930s and an underdog sports movie, when it should have forfeited the later for the former. Instead the film awkwardly shifts its rickety frame from one genre to the next, never successfully melding the two together well enough for it all to work. It’s too bad because there’s a delightfully fun screwball film buried beneath it all, and when it peeks out you wish the rest of the film were like it.”
Overall rating: C+

RUN FAT BOY RUN
From the original review: “RUN FAT BOY RUN won’t show you anything you haven’t seen before. It’s conventional, and it’s predictable enough that you’ll see every plot point coming a mile away, and everything that happens isn’t even remotely unexpected. The thing is, sometimes there’s nothing wrong with being derivative… You’re never surprised, but you feel what you’re supposed to, and you enjoy it. The funny parts make you smile and laugh, the dramatic moments are earned and successful, and the poignant feel-good moments hit you right where they’re supposed to.”
