One Of The Worst:A Haunted House 2

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the sequel to A Haunted House!
No wonder it's One Of The Worst Time.
So A Haunted House 2 has a 13 on Metacritic right now which means it might be the lowest rated movie of the year. Considering it's already April that's pretty weak. But then again everything in this movie is weak. For example:
  • It has gay jokes
  • It has animal cruelty jokes
  • Washington Post said it exceeded expectations even though they still gave it a 0
  • Vulture called it a nervous breakdown of a movie 
  • 7M Pictures said it was worse than White Chicks which is known as one of the worst movies 
  • Filled with sex scenes and sex jokes
Ya so it's obvious that you shouldn't see this movie
A Haunted House 2 is rated R.

Critics Consensus:Trials Fusion

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the next Trials game!
In 2009 an aspiring indie studio released an XBLA version of one of their flash games. The game ended up being one of the best selling XBLA and downloadable games to date so what other way to release a sequel? That sequel ended up being Trials Evolution which was praised for it's fantastic level editor which could let you make (im not joking) first person shooters and platformers in a motorcycle game. This time Trials is back and it's set in the future. Let's see if it seems like they are running out of ideas here.
Apparently RedLynx isn't. Yes Trials Fusion tries to assemble a plot unlike the other games and do to it's poor results of that it was one of the reasons AusGamers gave it a 5\10. However nearly all of the reviews have been positive praising its graphics,challenges,new improvements, and humour something that is rarely present in games these days.
Overall get this game.
Trials Fusion is rated E10+.

Critics Consensus: 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the all new World Cup game released on last gen consoles for some reason...
The World Cup only happens every 4 years and same with the Olympics. However the games haven't been so good. London 2012 got mixed reviews,Sochi 2014 got average, and the only really good one was actually the World Cup game. However this time it's not being released on next gen consoles so EA could take a big hit in framerate,graphics,textures and more. Let's see and find out if this game scored a goal or not.
While it's not as victorious as it could have been World Cup Brazil is a pretty good game for soccer diehards as VideoGamer,GameInformer,and Multiplayer.it stated. It may have some problems being too familiar and having no real big difference in content from FIFA 14 that seems like it was released just yesterday but overall the quick passes,new improvements, and better accessibility will probably lengthen and profit your experience into an enjoyment.
Overall get this game if you want to.
2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil is rated E.

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.
