Drama
Rod Lott
“Kill the Irishman" begins with a bang, figuratively and literally, with a kinda-fake-looking exploding car just like the one that went kablooey in the opening moments of Martin Scorsese's "Casino."

Comedy
Rod Lott
“Son of Morning” is so poorly executed, it did not deserve to see the light of day. Its opening scenes of quirkiness are endearing until its story dawns.

Thriller
Rod Lott
“Beneath the Dark” bears an awful lot of similarity to “Vacancy,” the 2007 thriller in which Luke Wilson and Kate Beckinsale were tormented at a seedy, near-abandoned motel in the middle of nowhere.
