Mon pire cauchemar (2011)
After two guys become best friends, one's mom -- a prim, proper career woman -- meets the other's dad, who lives out of his van.
Modern-day screwball comedy is more satirical than humorous; against all odds, Isabelle Huppert and Benoît Poelvoorde make it work.

Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance (2011)
Johnny Blaze, tortured by the Ghost Rider's curse, gets a chance of redemption through protecting the Devil's son, whose father is pursuing him.
Pure trash cinema: silly story, mayhem and a cast of overacting stars.
Maltin BOMB: "Even worse than the 2007 film; the potential for spectacle is trashed by the relatively low budget."
Horns (2013)
In the aftermath of his girlfriend's mysterious death, a young man awakens to find strange horns sprouting from his temples.
Starts off more like a fantastical satire and descends into melodramtic horror; pure nonsense for a limited audience.
