The Quiet Ones
Alas, there is neither salvation nor deliverance in The Quiet Ones.
Brick Mansions
Those 90 minutes are crammed with a continual regurgitation of pretty much the same gun-blazing, back-flipping, ghetto fight scene. They’re consumed with crass and banal dialogue.

In 1963’s The Haunting we’re told that “some houses are just born bad.” A Haunted House 2 insists that some movies are too.
Transcendence
Johnny Depp is a brilliant scientist who, near death, has his consciousness uploaded to a supercomputer … with the law of unintended consequences playing a major supporting role in what happens next.
Oculus
Oculus delivers a tense, terrifying take on the familiar haunted house template.
Draft Day
Cleveland Browns GM Kevin Costner has to make this year’s draft picks winners … or lose his job. How’s he going to pull that off and manage his own teetering private life too?

Noah
Director Darren Aronofsky offers a spectacular and often moving story, but it’s obviously not the story of Noah.
