The Devil Inside focuses on a triple murder that was committed by Maria Rossi (Suzan Crowley) in 1989.  She was in the middle of being exorcised by a nun and two priests.  She ended up killing them after she escaped from her restraints.  After the murders, she was found not guilty because she was found to be insane.  Maria was put in a mental hospital, and The Vatican eventually stepped in on her behalf and transferred her to the Centrino Mental Hospital in Rome. Twenty years later in 2009, Maria’s only daughter Isabella...

I have now seen David Fincher’s version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo twice.  The most astonishing and utterly creative thing about the film is the opening credits.  It is not expected after you see the opening scene for the film to be blasted with this visually stunning sequence set to “Immigrant Song” by Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross, and Karen O.  Io9.com has the entire opening credits scene in its entirety as well as a making-of video.  There is also an interview with Tim Miller of Blur Studio about...

Here at Lost in Reviews, we have been hard at work compiling a list of what has had our ears all year long. After putting the whole thing together, some similarities were occurring. The Kanrocksas show was a huge hit with all of us here as nearly every one of us picked one or more sets from the two day inaugural festival. As for best albums, many of us can’t stop listening to M83′s Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming and St. Vincent’s Strange Mercy. It was so much fun looking back on the best of 2011 but we can’t...

I don’t know whether many of you have noticed lately, but aside from a few posts early on in the fall season I have been silent.  This would be due to technical issues that were completely out of my control.  Okay, so yes it was stupid of me to drink a cup of hot tea laden with sugar and cream around my laptop, but hindsight people.  Hindsight.  What I didn’t know then that I do know now is that the universe wanted to protect me from having to sit through the television dreck that was about to come down the pipeline. Somehow...

Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment released some great films this year and we would like to send a few to you, but first see what they have to offer! The Art of Getting By   Bring home the Sundance Film Festival favorite, The Art of Getting By, this December. Starring Freddie Highmore and Emma Roberts, this film is the story of an artistic, fatalistic teen who starts an unconventional romance with a “popular” girl. Available on Blu-ray and DVD, this touching and quirky tale is a must-have for any indie romance fan. Another...

As the chief movie trailer chick here at Lost in Reviews, it is my duty to let you know which movie trailers in 2011 blew me away.  Hopefully, they are some of your favorites as well (if you are in to this kind of thing).  The following trailers are presented in no particular order.  You can click on the film’s title to get the complete description of the trailer, movie poster, synopsis, and release date. 1.

This week on Blu Monday Angela and I discuss Don’t Be Afraid of The Dark, Futurama, The Guard, Final Destination 5, Archer Season 2, and A Good Old Fashioned Orgy. Check out the video below and let us know what you think!     By Ryan and Angela Davis

There are several reasons that We Bought a Zoo should be a good movie. They include but are not limited to: - It’s directed by Cameron Crowe, who’s pretty good with sentimentality. - It’s got Grade-A Human Being Matt Damon in it. - It’s scored by Sigur Rós frontman Jónsi, featuring music from his excellent 2010 album, Go. - Scarlett Johansson is hot. - It is, more often than not, a nice movie. And yet I find it difficult not to loathe We Bought a Zoo. It is hardly the worst movie of the year, but the intensity of my...

So if you have been following Lost In Reviews for a while, you will know that we like to give out our own form of an Oscar to deserving talent. We call this award, “The Bateman”, from Christian Bale’s fantastic performance as Patrick Bateman in American Psycho. We have carefully scoured the films that have come out all year and whittled it down to the top ten best films overall from ten to one. Although, we always have to throw a bone to a few more with an Honorable Mention. Last year we came pretty close to what ended...

From the moment I saw the first movie trailer for War Horse, it became one of my most anticipated films to see in 2011.  Just from the trailer alone, I could tell that War Horse was going to be a sweeping epic film with a beautiful score behind it.  It was a long wait until December, but it was worth the wait. The story of War Horse comes from a children’s novel of the same name by Michael Morpurgo and was published in 1982.  It has also become a successful play using horse puppets that started in England in 2007 and on...

When the film, Prometheus, was first announced to be going into production, it was described as an Alien prequel.  Considering Ridley Scott is the director of the film and the first Alien film, it was not a stretch.  Skip to article in Entertainment Weekly a month or more ago about Prometheus.  The interviews with the actors and Ridley Scott only hinted at an Alien connection and the mentions about Alien were vague at best.  This is the teaser for the film.  It is very much a teaser as it is not very long, and you have no...
