Happy New Year at the movies everyone, or maybe not so much. Last year was a crummy year at the box office and 2012 isn't exactly starting out like a woman possessed, or is it? Another exorcism movie hits theaters: "The Devil Inside."
The movie follows a woman named Isabella, whose mother is locked away in a psych ward for brutally killing three people. Twenty years later, Isabella travels to the insane asylum to find out that her mother isn't possessed by one, but four demons.
The Reel Deal: Four demons...the more demons the better? This is how we have to start the new year? The only savior here is that there was no screening for critics, which I'll consider a late Christmas present. But if you spend the 12 bucks, I fear the devil made you do it. I'm out.
Heading into more theaters, a boy is determined to solve a family mystery in "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close."
Two years later, Oskar is still reeling from his father's death in the 9/11 attacks. When he finds a key hidden away, he sets out to find the object it unlocks, convinced that it will bring him closer to his father. Starring are Tom Hanks, Sandra Bullock and Thomas Horn.
The Reel Deal: Look, this is a well-executed movie with a lot of drama, but it's a 9/11 tear jerker that misses the mark. "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close" feels extremely calculated and incredibly manipulative. I'm out.
In limited release, there's "Roadie," which is about a man forced to deal with complicated personal relationships when he comes home from the road. And there's "Codependent Lesbian Space Alien Seeks the Same" about three lesbian aliens who land on earth looking for love.
