Critics Consensus: Promised Land

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is Promised Land, Matt Damon's new movie.

Promised Land came out in limited release at the very end of the year just like a bunch of other movies. Usually that's a hit or miss. Sadly no Oscar buzz has come for Promised Land. Here's why.

Promised Land is about a big business versus a small community owned town. It seems interesting but where most critics threw the hatchet is it's final 15 minutes. (ReelViews,New York Post,Time) I do not want to spoil but everything derails from there.

Overall rent this. Unless you really want to see it.

Promised Land is rated R.

Critics Consensus: Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D.

Every year the first movie is a horror movie. It is rated R, Not screened before critics and usually has no big name actors. Texas Chainsaw 3D has Trey Songz and he's a rapper for Pete's Sake. This does not look good.

Texas Chainsaw 3D is the regular plot of a Leatherface movie. He's comin with a damn chainsaw and you better run fast or your pretty much dead. The highest big name review I could find was a couple of 60's from The A.V. Club and Variety. Also the positive reception that was only getting this a 32% is that the end is a new take for horror movies. Still sucks though because nearly all of the movie is super generic as Slant Magazine stated.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre is rated R.
