Lights Out

 

A monster ghost is haunting a mother so her kids decide to take action. Turns out the monster can only strike in the dark, so might I suggest moving to a city where there’s never any dark even at night? This is the sort of movie that has a great concept and some cool ideas for scenes, but overall the execution is terrible. Too many cuts, too many musical stingers. It’s like it doesn’t trust itself! Anyway I’d be down for a remake by a competent director.

Enterprise S3E21 - "E²"

A future, more grizzled version of the Enterprise comes to convince Archer not to make some choices or cross a line or something.

RATING: 38%

Enterprise S3E19 - "Damage"

I feel like bad television writers often believe that making shows "dark" or "morally questionable" is the same as giving them depth, but it's really not. Especially when your characters spell out the fact that they aren't happy with the "line that must be crossed" for 40 minutes of your 44 minute show.

Dark Humor

Saying something like, "I suppose we'll be seeing Patrick Swayze in Ghost 2 pretty soon," might make people uncomfortable. But, wait! I'm using dark humor here, so it's okay.
