Wish Upon Is Thoroughly Forgettable And Anemic Horror Fare

Wishes always lead to trouble, whether you're wishing to be a prince to impress a princess or you're wishing for a turkey sandwich on rye bread or you're wishing for whatever the characters in that Wes Craven produced Wishmaster movie were wishing for. Taking this mystical shortcut always generates all sorts of unintended consequences which is likely why it's become a horror movie plot mainstay over the years. The newest usage of this recurring storyline comes in the form of the horror movie Wish Upon, an anemic horror film direly lacking in the way of scares and one you'd want to wish away from your memory except it's highly likely you'll forget about mere seconds after it's done.

Please Give Some More Love To The Thrilling And Endearing White House Down

Back in 2013, Roland Emmerich returned to the White House, the location that served him quite well when he blew it to pieces in the first Independence Day movie. But just like returning to the world of Independence Day itself didn't yield any box office results comparable to that 1996 movie, Emmerich's 2013 return to the White House was similarly DOA financially. That's a shame because White House Down might just be the best movie Roland Emmerich's done, one that leans heavily on charismatic actors, over-the-top characters and constantly escalating in absurdity action to deliver the right kind of bombastic blockbuster filmmaking.
