Severance

Editor's Rating:

Average: 4 (1 vote)

Severance seemed to have quite s daunting task ahead of it. After all, it’s got some pretty big shoes to fill—being hailed as the next Shaun of the Dead, the movie which blended everything that was cool about gore fests and witty English humor seamlessly into one cult classic. It proves, however, to be more than up to the task, upping the level of horror and humor quite a few notches.

Scoop

Love him or hate him, there really is only one Woody Allen (Anything Else). His quirks, mannerisms and sense of humor are synonymous with who he is and any form of emulation is bound to come off badly. Which is why Scarlett Johansson’s (In Good Company) performance in Scoop is one of the most glaring flaws in an otherwise straightforward, though entertaining story by Allen.

Matt Saunders (Luke Wilson) has been dating nothing but crazy chicks recently, but when he starts going out with the bookish Jenny Johnson (Uma Thurman), all his ex’s begin to look pretty well-adjusted. Neurotic, paranoid and extremely jealous, Jenny eventually gets the boot … and that’s when Matt’s troubles begin. Jenny, as it turns out, is the nigh-indestructible superheroine known as “G-Girl.” And, to put a twist on the old saying, hell hath no fury like a wonder woman scorned.

The Host

Average: 3.5 (1 vote)

When a US army base disposes of formaldehyde into the Han River, a large, hideous mutant emerges to attack the riverside and abduct several victims, including middle school student Park Hyun-seo (played by newcomer Ah-sung Ko). It swallows its victims whole and regurgitates them later at its lair. When Hyun-seo’s lazy father Kang-du (Kang-ho Song, Sympathy for Lady Vengeance) realizes that his daughter is still alive and not digested in the belly of the beast, he—and the rest of his oddball family—set out to save the girl in spite of government warnings to stay clear.
