We're already getting close to the halfway point of the season, here's The Roundup....
3. After
Despite playing to several well-worn post-apocalyptic genre tropes, Meirad Tako's latest still feels completely original due to more eccentric story elements (and that ending).
2. Suburban
The story of this one was nice. The main character goes through a real emotional journey. Plus, nobody looks at Facebook or eats at McDonald's (or any other fast food chain)! Don't get me started on the soundtrack though...
1. Box Office
It's always a nice round when all three films manage to turn out profitable. Not much else to say.
3. Profits
While all three films ended up in the black, they were all only slightly profitable, leaving the studio without much income for the round.
2. Hex: The Cult of Cain
This was a big letdown of a sequel. I really enjoyed the first Hex, but pretty much every thing that first film got right outside of the casting of Brad Pitt, The Cult of Cain missed on. Bad, bland supporting cast/characters and little personality in Hex's actions.
1. Colin Firth
I firmly believe that Suburban would have been a certified Must See film if Conn had nailed the casting of the lead role. Firth just doesn't pull off the dark places the character goes to in this one. He's a charming and affable enough actor, but this role definitely did not play to his strengths as an actor.
