Chev Chelios is back for more mayhem and violence in Crank: High Voltage. When Chev Chelios awakens to find himself being kept alive for organ harvesting he goes on a wild rampage throughout L.A. to get his heart back, which has been sold off to a Chinese gangster. Writer/director team Neveldine & Taylor take everything to an extreme, and it doesn't work. The film is a chaotic mess, and there's no time to get to know or care about the characters. While its audaciousness is impressive, Crank: High Voltage doesn't amount to anything but a bunch of noise.

The Prophecy - Forsaken (2005)
Yet another mundane and formulaic paranormal thriller, The Prophecy:… More
Yet another mundane and formulaic paranormal thriller, The Prophecy: Forsaken has no passion or originality. Continuing the story set up in the previous film, a church layman named Allison must protect an ancient manuscript called The Lexicon from a new faction of angels intent on using it to discover the identity of the Antichrist. Tony Todd gives a solid performance, but overall the acting's weak and colorless. The directing is also poor, and doesn't carry any intensity or suspense. The Prophecy: Forsaken is a generic and trite film that adds nothing to the series.

A poorly made and pointless film, The Prophecy: Uprising is a pathetic entry into the franchise. Though it calls itself a Prophecy film, it really isn't; as it doesn't abide by the mythology of the series and has no relation to established story arcs. This film follows two fallen angels that are searching for The Lexicon, an ancient manuscript that has the power to change the outcome of the Apocalypse and turn the tide in the celestial wars. It's a poorly written story that doesn't make sense, and the acting is awful. The Prophecy: Uprising is a worthless piece of garbage that tries to attach itself onto a series that it has no business being a part of.

A provocative thriller, Stigmata is a powerful and well-crafted film that takes on deep issues. When a young woman in New York City begins to experience signs of Stigmata (the wounds of Christ), a Vatican investigator is send to look into the case; but the deeper he looks, the more troubling the case becomes. Patricia Arquette and Gabriel Byrne lead the cast and give excellent performances. Additionally, the visual style is remarkably captivating and atmospheric. The score by Billy Corgan is also especially good, and enhances the dark and mystical tones of the material. Dealing with controversial spiritual and religious themes, Stigmata is a smart and thoughtful film that's intense and compelling.
