The Purge
THE PURGE (starring Ethan Hawke) plays out in the perfunctory manner you’d expect. In more able hands, this peek beneath civilization’s veneer (in a near-future America that binges on murder and mayhem once a year) might have packed a wallop with moral tension and suspense; instead, it telegraphs its punches. –YSM

About Your Sacrificial Moviegoer
We love to sit in the dark with a big tub of popcorn amid a roomful of strangers. Reports on what we witness there come in two varieties: Bullet Reviews quickly and concisely convey our take on a film, always in spoiler-free fashion; Trailer Trash reveals Your Sacrificial Moviegoer's best prediction on whether an upcoming movie is worth seeing, based solely on the trailer (the short "previews" before the feature presentation).
