      October 31, 2016

      |

      by Jeff Beck

      The Film:

      In a similar fashion to the new “X-Men” franchise, it was rather miraculous when J.J. Abrams was able to take over the “Star Trek” film series and return it to the glorious heights it once enjoyed in the past. Along with screenwriters Alex Kurtzman and Roberto...

      No Good Deed: A Thriller without Thrills or Logic (Blu-ray)

      January 2, 2015

      |

      by Jeff Beck

      The Film:

      2014 played host to a number of films that were entirely uninspired, with many of them nabbing prime spots on my Worst Films of the Year list. Many of those ended up being horror films, but not one of them was a straight-up thriller. However, “No Good Deed” is...
