Very boring and unfunny. Seems to rip off so many other movies.

For example the three main characters look like an exact carbon copy of the cast from Superbad, a shy skinny person, a fat snob, and one complete dork.

Jokes aren’t very funny and are old.

In trailers the movie brags that this will be the colt classic of the decade comparing itself to Animal House, Revenge of The Nerds, and American Pie, but this movie seems to be a rental movie at best.

The title college doesn’t fit the film, sure the movie takes place at a college but thats it.

This movie portrays college students as drunk,stupid, horny kids which might worry some parents.

After Kevin (Drake Bell), a high school senior, gets dumped by his girlfriend Gina (Alona Tal) for being too boring, he doesn’t want to go to the freshman orientation weekend at Fieldmont University, where they had planned to go together.

His best friends Carter (Andrew Caldwell) and Morris (Kevin Covais) convince him that the weekend away will help get his mind off her. Aye!

As Joe begins to wonder what has happened to his life, we are taken back to his adolescent days of first love on the quiet English seaside, to discover what this Brit has in fact been trying to hide from with a life of debauchery and excess in LA.

Even a fan of this film should be able see why some might find it slow and slightly dull, as it does rely on the viewer sharing in a sense of glory in the mystical power of great records, the tragic romance of nostalgia and regret, and the theme of washed-up stardom.

Hollywood star Joe is now a teenage boy in a tentative relationship with a school-girl called Ruth.

Further, his mother’s friend, Evelyn, is attempting to seduce him.

Engulfed by guilt at the unintended, tragic consequences of his subterfuge, he leaves home.

The movie is not totally horrible, as action films go.

The main problem is the many plot holes in the narrative that the creators probably didn’t count on, or thought their viewers wouldn’t figure out how the whole mess was going to turn out.

John Herzfeld directed the screen play by Bob Krakower and Allan Lawrence.

The credibility gap is huge when the people involved asks us to accept things that don’t make too much sense.

Tim Kearney, a San Quentin prisoner with an “impulse control” problem, expects to spend the rest of his life in jail, until the FBI makes him an offer he can’t refuse.

He can go free if he agrees to assume the identity of the late drug lord, Bobby Z, so the Feds can deliver him to a Mexican kingpin in exchange for a kidnapped agent.

The acting was really good, and it was great to see Famke Janssen in another horror movie, considering the last one she did (House on Haunted Hill) was nearly 10 years ago and Deep Rising .

She was believable, likable, but with a bitchy edge and made sure the vicious ghost wasn’t going to hurt her anymore.

Gossip Girl’s Ed Westwick was also good as Famke’s young lover, and Bobby Cannavale nailed the role as the typical, tough NYC cop.

Michael Pare plays the ghost of the husband, and even though he’s CGI throughout most of the movie, he does a good job as the vicious, angry wife beating ghost.

A young woman, Marnie Watson, is granted early release from her prison sentence for manslaughter (killing her husband - a violent NYC cop - in self defense) on condition she wear an electronic ankle bracelet and remain within her home, effectively under house arrest, for the remainder of her sentence.

Her late husband’s partner keeps tabs on her from a patrol car parked across the street, hoping she’ll violate probation and he can send her back to prison.

Jack (Andrew Garfield) is released from prison, finally, at the age of 24 … having been institutionalized for most of his life.

He and another boy murdered a child, when they were themselves children.

When Jack is released from prison, with a necessary new identity, his counsellor Terry (Peter Mullan as a convincingly flawed mentor), believes so fully in his right to redemption, you can see Jack wanting and willing to believe him.

As the movie unfolds, Jack’s doubts continue to arise, through a series of episodes (drug use, a fight, trespassing) he finds it impossible to escape from his criminal past, despite a heroic rescue of a young girl trapped in a crashed car.

So I have to be brutally honest here, I was mainly looking forward to see “Lakeview Terrace” because I really thought it was going to be awful.

It did look that way to me by the trailers. So when it started it went from good to getting better and better.

Now not saying that this movie does not have flaws, because IT DOES.

But it surprised me with its thematic elements, and really suspenseful scenes.

A young couple (Patrick Wilson and Kerry Washington) has just moved into their California dream home when they become the target of their next-door neighbor, who disapproves of their interracial relationship.

Worth a watch for sure and recommended for a critics award.

The violence scenes were brutal at times but am sure the movie demanded the same.

Hats off to the director for bringing out raw talents out of these young actors and highlighting the growing problems of young crimes in this country.

The Family that Preys is seriously a very good movie, it will not disappoint you.

Perry managed to bring to the screen a powerful but entertaining adult story that kept the viewing audience glued to their seats.

Kathy Bates and Alfre Woodard both gave two of the best performances this year in film.

Robin Givens gave what has to be to date her best big screen performance as the honorable and hard working business woman (Abigail “Abby” Dexter).

The cast was nothing short of excellent in this touching story of love,deceit,friendship and compassion.

It was nice to finally see a film about the real ups and downs of life vs the fluff and mindless problems we have come to see to often in films today.

The two friends have enjoyed a lasting friendship throughout many years, suddenly, their lives become mired in turmoil as their adult children’s extramarital affairs, unethical business practices and a dark paternity secret threaten to derail family fortunes and unravel the lives of all involved. Sounds like fun

If you enjoy a good story - its for you!

This movie is magic except one thing!.

The cinematography is great, the acting is top-notch and the plot and storyline keep you guessing and on edge till the end.

The end is a terrible let down for an otherwise super production.

Its like they ran out of ideas and money at the same time or maybe there is a producer to blame.

I would definitely recommend watching this movie even with the poor ending.

Willem Dafoe plays an NYPD detective who grapples with a string of unusual serial murders, perpetrated by a killer who fashions himself an artist.

The detective investigates the brilliantly composed crime scenes, as he draws closer to a mystery that may end up implicating himself.
