Call it Assault on Manger 13.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 17, 2011

Swallowed up by its effort to be a film of multiple genres. The only genre it earns a place in is comedy; it achieves an amount of unwarranted laughs of biblical proportions.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 13, 2010

Ah well. At least we know Paul Bettany's mortgage is covered.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Apr 1, 2010

Could have been T2 with seraphs, or Assault On Precinct 13 crossed with Revelations. Instead, it's a lazy genre bore. Doesn't bode well for Priest, the next Stewart/Bettany film in the pipeline.

Celestial tosh of less than Biblical proportions.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 5, 2010

Bettany's job: rescuing the modern Mary, a skanky waitress, and saving her unborn child. Our job: holding back the laughter.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 5, 2010

The first time, God did it with a flood. Now he's doing it with creepy monsters who can only be repelled with deafening fire from sexy weapons. At least it will keep you awake.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 5, 2010

The movie is close to a guilty pleasure but it is also a very silly, crummily-scripted mess with no idea how to get from one sequence to the next in that way they call... storytelling?

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 5, 2010

Angels with machine guns? It was probably great fun to make; just don't expect to have quite as good a time watching it. As a piece of action horror it suffers from an identity crisis.

I haven't had more fun since Eight Legged Freaks.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 5, 2010

More apocalyptic twaddle, this time the setting a scuzzy diner named Paradise Falls - groan - on the edge of the Mojave Desert.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 5, 2010

[A] mediocre picture.

Full Review | Feb 1, 2010

There's a lot going on, a lot of theology, a lot of bad horror movie effects.

Full Review | Feb 1, 2010

Anne Rice was right; angels are just as hot and just as deadly as those bloodsuckers from Twilight and True Blood.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jan 29, 2010

By the time it was over it was all I could do to stop from yawning, and if God were one of us I'm sure after watching this he'd probably have been doing to same.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jan 28, 2010

The down time between action scenes is deadly dull and the film's hoary cinematic shorthand (i.e., a young Black man enters the film to the sound of hip-hop and fights with his baby mama) is more terrifying than anything else served up.

If you're really that hard up for yet another apocalypso horror show, you'd could do worse than renting 1995's The Prophecy, which at least had the good sense to cast Christopher Walken as the angel Gabriel.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jan 27, 2010

This feature debut by writer-director Scott Stewart may sound like an enjoyably goofy theo-horror romp, but it's a serious penance.

| Jan 27, 2010

Legion has the good sense to mimic a classic but otherwise makes no sense at all.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jan 22, 2010

Legion may traffic in signposts of the apocalypse, but the whole affair mostly indicates that we're in the movie wasteland that is January.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jan 22, 2010
