Critics Consensus: A Haunted House

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is A Haunted House a paranormal parody of the Paranormal Activity series.
Honestly I don't know why I'm covering this. I didn't cover the Oogieloves because well you knew it was going to be crap. You know that the critics will hate this just by watching thirty seconds of the movie. These type of movies never get good acclaim and usually make a profit of their budget. Hey at least we can laugh at these comments made by critics. Let's go.
Entertainment Weekly complained that the film had way too many fart gags 1,783 to be exact,The A.V Club called it a mercenary cash-grab and lastly The New York Times said best "If the opening gag in your R-rated movie is an extended flatulence joke you should reconsider whether you're qualified to make such a movie. Not that flatulence jokes aren't funny; 8-year-olds love them. The thing is, not many 8-year-olds go to R-rated movies."
Overall well this is pretty obvious. If you are reading the Overall sentence you deserve a slap in the face.
A Haunted House is rated R.

Critics Consensus: Gangster Squad

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is Gangster Squad Ryan Gosling's new movie!
Gangster Squad had a lot of promise. You've probably heard that Gangster Squad is a mess. In fact it probably would not have been that. When the first trailer came out in it there was someone shooting in a movie theater. A few weeks later the Aurora Shooting happened and the director of Gangster Squad, Ruben Fleischer decided to take that out of the movie. The problem? The whole film had to be rewritten and reshooted because that scene was a major plot point.
Gangster Squad has been tryanted that the movie can not tell if it want's to be a drama or a comedy\spoof by Christian Science Monitor. (Example: In the movie they interrogate a guy and think he's lying. Sean Penn says "you know the drill" and then instead of some stupid routine they actually get a power drill and drill it through the guy's head. Seriously? Also the Charlotte Observer called it cliched nonsense. Ouch.
Overall do not see Gangster Squad. You will be disappointed. Very Very Much.
Gangster Squad is rated R.
