Aftershock (2013) |
"
It's not my kind of horror flick anyway, but even for fans of gross-out gore-a-paloozas and campy humor this is a swing and a miss."

Iron Man 3 (2013) |
"
Some eye-popping action sequences at least make this a worthy summer endeavor for movie fans, but it felt like "Iron Man 3" got such a big lead in the first half, it was content to run out the clock late in the game. "

Evil Dead (2013) |

The film has a load of hallmarks which nod to the 1981 original, but takes some evry different twists and turns. It lacks some of that movie's personality, and it's not as scary as one might expect, but still a bloody good time at the movies."
