Blu-Ray Review: Nicolas Cage Would Like You to Forget ‘Season of the Witch’
Submitted by BrianTT on July 12, 2011 - 1:10pmCHICAGO – Dominic Sena’s “Season of the Witch” is one of the most bizarrely dull films made in a very long time. It doesn’t work even as escapist trash because the typically over-the-top Nicolas Cage can’t even bring his manic energy to the piece, choosing to sleep-walk through it instead. I was ready for a cheesy piece of period action but stunned at the tedious dialogue, boring action, and nonsensical plot. This thing is a mess and not even a fun one at that.

In the case of “Whiteout,” the malevolent forces are the filmmakers and the helpless victims are us.

Submitted by BrianTT on September 11, 2009 - 3:26pmCHICAGO – Producing more derisive snickers than gasps and more snores than thrills, Dominic Sena’s “Whiteout” is a massive waste of time, a predictable, dull, and hysterically cliched slice of junk that should be run out of theaters before month’s end.
