INTO THE STORM [2014]

Imagine that the Jan De Bont/Michael Crichton tornado thriller Twister was a found footage film and you pretty much get the idea of director Steven Quale's Into The Storm.
A group of Oklahoma storm hunters tangled up with a single dad & his sons hunt and run from a ridiculously large tornado that devours everything in it's path.  There's not a single memorable character to be seen, the ending can be predicted within the first minute and the found footage aspect of the film it's incredibly distracting at times.  Amidst all it's shittiness is a surprising amount of fun to be had within the special effects carnage and the obligatory flying cow.

FACES IN THE CROWD [2011]

Milla Jovovich plays a woman who suffers from face blindness after being attacked by a serial killer in writer/director Julien Magnat's thriller Faces In The Crowd.
Apart from its interesting concept the film fails to muster up much of anything at all.  There's all sorts of potentially great character conflicts that never get explored and instead the film gets bogged down with flat-lining dialogue and boring casting choices.  If not for Milla it'd seem like an afternoon TV movie on the Women's Network starring Jennie Garth or some other 90210 has-been.
