Critics Consensus:Oculus

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the all new horror movie Oculus!
It seems like every horror movie nowadays is using the tagline from the creators of Paranormal Activity in their poster. Maybe it's true but it seems like there is hundreds of "creators" of Paranormal Activity by now. But on with that the all new Oculus is in theaters by more "creators" Let's check if it's good or just plain not scary.
Luckily Oculus isn't half bad. It's got a 61 on Metacritic, and average score of 6.5 and a 71% on RottenTomatoes so it's not a bad way to spend 12 bucks. Trust us you can do much worse. Sure it could be a little bit more scarier in places and as the Newark Star Ledger said it's too vague and familiar but the best part about Oculus is that it messes with your head. That's what horror movies should do.
Overall see this movie.
Oculus is rated R.

Critics Consensus:Draft Day

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the all new football drama starring Kevin Costner!!
There's been a lot of football dramas in the last couple years and pretty much all of them happen inside the field. However the all new Draft Day starring Kevin Costner and Jennifer Garner sometimes not all of the victories happen on the field. Let's see if that's some generic tagline for a generic movie or a actual good movie overall.
Unfortunately Draft Day isn't like Moneyball where it is a good movie even if you don't like the certain sport its about. It's pretty much only for diehard football fans as Movie Guide and Globe and Mail said. Sure it has some good parts with great acting but overall it's dull script holds it back. Looks like this movie never scored a touchdown. Only a running pass
Overall only see this movie if you want to.
Draft Day is rated PG-13.
