Quick Bite: Passengers

PASSENGERS: IT'S ABOUT THE JOURNEY, NOT THE DESTINATION

I see dead people. I also see this film being the product of combining Fearless and any M. Night Shamalamadingdong movie. It wasn't awful. Anne Hathaway is Claire Summer, a therapist assigned to treat the survivors of a recent plane crash. We see her treat her patients and without giving much more away, suspicious instances start to occur. I am a huge fan of the 1993 drama, Fearless which also deals with the aftermath of a crash. However, Fearless is a much better picture with much more of a satisfactory ending. Nonetheless, Passengers is a decent thriller/suspense movie with a twist at the end.

BITE: Not my favorite, but it held my attention and I couldn't have predicted the ending.

QUICK BUTE: SHUTTER

SHUTTER: A TRUE KODAK MOMENT

What the Ring did for TV, Shutter does for photographs. A remake, this film has nothing new to offer. We meet a newly wedded couple who move to Japan for his career. The husband immerses himself in his new job while the wife spends the day shopping and being terrified by ghosts. The supernatural world hosts a party entertaining the wife. No blood and guts, but still scary. This film was not screened for critics; the kiss of death.

Bite me: Not great, but enough of a scary movie to satisfy that itch.
