  On the slate this week is a few movies that don’t seem to be getting a lot of love this fall. First off, we see another adaptation of the John Patterson novels with Alex Cross, starring an out-of-fat-suit Tyler Perry. We are also “graced” with a fourth entry in an already obsolete franchise with Paranormal Activity...

  Here’s another edition of the LAMBScores, just in time for Halloween. Although Frankenweenie is the only film that’s really related to the holiday, I’m sure you can find something to be scared about when it comes to Taken 2. Throw in some teenage angst with The Perks of Being a Wallflower and America’s favorite...

  To wrap up August, we have a rather large edition of LAMBScores (as opposed to last week’s single score). Just as the Republican National Convention wraps up, we have scores for The Campaign, a raunchy political “satire”, as well as the ratings for Hope Springs and Ruby Sparks, two smaller releases they have gotten a lot of love.
