War of the Worlds: Goliath (2013)

Jason says: “There’s a lot of reasons to recommend staying away from WAR OF THE WORLDS: GOLIATH: Inconsistent animation, a weak script, bland voice acting, etc. On the other hand, it’s got Teddy Roosevelt killing Martians, and while that doesn’t

V/H/S/2 (2013)

Jason says: “To call last year’s V/H/S uneven would be generous; while it managed ‘pretty good’ in a couple of segments, it was awful in more. Still, the good thing about commercially successful anthology films is that sequels need not

Rating: 4 cats
Director: Kristina Buozyte
Starring: Jurga Jutaite | Marius Jampolskis | Martina Jablonskyte | Rudolfas Jansonas | Vytautas Kaniusonis
