Insidious: The Last Key produces the odd jolt but feels worn
Rating: «« out of ««««
Running Time: 103 min.
In many series, there eventually comes a time when it feels like things become so familiar that they cease to be exciting or engaging. Insidious: The Last Key is the fourth title in the very successful franchise. Last many series, the first was a very effective scare picture, but each subsequent chapter has become less effective at providing hair-raising chills. This effort provides a couple of interesting ideas and one or two effective jolts, but it’s all beginning to feel a bit worn out.
The feature focuses on parapsychologist Dr. Elise Rainier (Lin Shaye) and her paranormal team of investigators Specs (Leigh Whannell) and...

All the Money in the World is buoyed by a late addition to the cast
Rating: ««« out of ««««
Running Time: 132 min.
If you’ve been following entertainment news, you might have heard about the strange situation that befell All the Money in the World, the latest feature film from director Ridley Scott (Alien, Blade Runner, Gladiator, Prometheus, The Martian). Kevin Spacey was cut out of the film and replaced just a few weeks ago, with significant material re-shot and edited into the feature. While a critic never wants such reports to influence him, the story has all been so public that it’s difficult not to acknowledge it to some degree.
This isn’t a small change. The character is hugely important to events and seems to appear in almost a...
