Synopsis: While settling his recently deceased father’s estate, a salesman discovers he has a sister whom he never knew about, leading both siblings to re-examine their perceptions about family and life choices.

Dark Shadows (PASS)

Starring: Johnny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer and Eva Green

Synopsis: An imprisoned vampire, Barnabas Collins, is set free and returns to his ancestral home, where his dysfunctional descendants are in need of his protection.

My Two Cents: I had high hopes for this one cause those who know me know I’m a huge fan of vampire stories… But this one was a let down. It’s just extremely slow moving and not enough going on the justify the pace. Tim Burtons flicks are hit and miss for me, I just wish this was a hit cause I’m a huge fan of the majority of this cast. But sadly that wasn’t enough to save it. Pass!

Silent House (PASS)

Starring: Elizabeth Olsen, Adam Trese and Eric Sheffer Stevens

Synopsis: Trapped inside her family’s lakeside retreat, a young woman finds she is unable to contact the outside world as events become increasingly ominous in and around the house.

Synopsis: A behind-the-scenes look at the fans who gather by the thousands each year in San Diego, California to attend Comic-Con, the world’s largest comic book convention.

My Two Cents: The phenomenon of San Diego’s Comic-con has grown to astronomic levels in both attendance and exhibition since it’s inception in 1970. And director Morgan Spurlock decided to chronicle the 2010 con, and follow a select few to document their reasons for being there, and their experience. In a word Awesome!
