Horror Movie

 

 (imdb)

THE UNHOLY-2021-in this supernatural religious tale a mute young woman (Cricket Brown) begins to talk and is in contact with the Virgin Mary. She heals a cripple boy and a priest, Father Hagen (William Sadler). A disgraced reporter Gerry Fenn (Jeffery Dean Morgan; "The Walking Dead" TV series) investigates and discovers it's not Holy Mary but a witch who was burned at the stake in 1845. She's back posing as Mary. A stupid priest (Cary Elwes) has his own agenda. 

Not bad especially in this day and age for what passes as supernatural horror. Director Evan Spiliotopoulos (in his directing debut) had previously worked for Disney and later wrote THE POPE'S EXORCIST.

Aptly Titled

THE LOSERS-2010-You know if you make a movie and call it The Losers it better be good otherwise people will be making stupid cracks like "Well at least it lives up to it's name" or "the real losers are the audience".

Unfortunately this derivative action nonsense lives up to those lines and more.

A US Special Forces group thought to be killed in the Bolivian Jungle hides out somewhere plotting revenge against a guy named Max (Jason Patric) who set them up. But of course the evil empire of The United States is also to blame. The idiotic acting and routine direction don't help things in this cliché ridden story.

Jeffery Dean Morgan, Zoe Saladana (Uhura in the new STAR TREK), Chris Evans (much better in CAPTAIN AMERICA) star. It's based on a comic from DC's Vertigo line. Director Sylvain White had made STOMP THE YARD.

PS-I didn't look it up yet but I think DC once published an Army comic called THE LOSERS!
