The Stepfather II: Make Room For Daddy (1989)Directed by: Jeff Burr
Written by: John Auerbach
Starring: Terry O'Quinn, Meg Foster, Caroline Williams, Jonathan Brandis, Henry Brown, Mitchell Laurance, Miriam Byrd-Nethery
Madman who is obsessed with finding the perfect family escapes from an insane asylum, somehow cons his way into becoming a neighborhood marriage councilor, and worms his way into a single mothers life. Terry O'Quinn is still pretty good as the creepy conservative, but the story lacks any suspense and is pretty contrived, even for a horror sequel. D+
The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009)Directed by: Chris Weitz
Written by: Stephanie Meyer; Melissa Rosenberg
Starring: Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner, Robert Pattinson, Billy Burke, Ashley Greene, Anna Kendrick, Michael Welch, Justin Chon, Christian Serratos, Jackson Rathbone, Michael Sheen, Jamie Campbell Bower, Peter Facinelli, Kellan Lutz, Nikki Reed, Dakota Fanning
Annoying characters, horrible acting, a deliriously bad story and a cheesy script help make this 'vampire' movie one of the worst of all time. This makes the first one seem amazing. It still boggles my mind why anyone would find this boring, anti-female series entertaining in any way. F
Scanners (1981)Directed by: David Cronenberg
Written by: David Cronenberg
Starring: Jennifer O'Neill, Stephen Lack, Patrick McGoohan, Lawrence Dane, Michael Ironside, Robert A. Silverman
Interesting premise about a secret government plot to corral a select few who have the power to control peoples thoughts never really gets off the ground. The main problem is the lead actor, who is absolutely awful. The scene that the film is most famous for, the head explosion, occurs within the first ten minutes, and the film plods along from there.

Land of the Lost (2009)Directed by: Brad Silberling
Written by: Chris Henchy and Dennis McNichols
Starring: Will Ferrell, Anna Friel, Danny McBride, Jorma Taccone, John Boylan, Matt Lauer
Remake of the cheesy 70's kids show goes the ironic route in it's attempts at humor. Permanent man-baby Will Ferrell runs around acting like an idiot when he and two others get sucked into an alternate dimension filled with dinosaurs, hairy men, lizard people and magic crystals. It tries to be irreverent and subversive, but ends up being pointless and forgettable. D-
