I, Frankenstein (2014)



Frankenstein's creature finds himself caught in an all-out, centuries old war between two immortal clans.

Embarrasingly blatant attempt to turn Mary Shelley's beloved classic figure into a superhero franchise, made with the proper aplomp for the occasion and a nonsensical story.

Maltin*1/2: "Hopelessly contrived story...Good effects can't disguise what is basically another soulless UNDERWORLD-style exercise, using the movies' most famous horror creation to sell it. Eckhart is physically up to the task and gives his all,to no avail."

3 of a Kind (2012)


Trapped in a nightmare marriage, a woman contends with the deadly control of her husband, the boss of a crime syndicate.

Formulaic psychological thriller with a predicatble 'twist' ending (the title itself is the spoiler); would be OK as a weekday night TV movie.
