Plague? Rats.

Danny Green (Lou Taylor Pucci) his brother Brian (Chris Pine) and two women – Bobby (Piper Perabo) and Kate (Emily VanCamp) – are heading on a road trip to the beach when they run across Frank Holloway (Christopher Meloni) and his sick daughter, Jodie (Kiernan Shipka) in a SUV that’s out of gas. Normally, this would be a minor inconvenience, but the whole USA – possibly the world – is dealing with an always-fatal pandemic, and she’s infected. In case you couldn’t guess from the title – and the fact that Christopher Meloni only seems to be cast in tragic media – things don’t end so well….

One tire, two reviews.

Rubber   Offscreen 2011 mini logo comedyRubber is a roadmovie about the most lonesome killer imaginable. He doesn’t talk. He doesn’t walk. He doesn’t listen. He just lurks, stalks and… blows things up.  His name is Robert, and he was the star of this year’s opening movie for Offscreen Film Festival 2011. Not one, but two of us attended the screening. Hence, another dual-review.

Sometimes a different route is a good idea.

Jim Halsey (C. Thomas Howell) is still a little messed up from the events of the first film, but not so messed up that he skipped becoming a cop; although being tightly-wound and shooting people for no reason is a bad idea. He takes his girlfriend, Maggie (Kari Wuhrer), out to visit his old friend Capt. Esteridge (played by Stephen Hair this time) when his bitch girlfriend insists on stopping for a hitchhiker … also named ‘Jim’ (Jake Busey), then, as in the first film, things go badly….
