            Both the Internet itself and William Malone’s new Internet-themed horror film “FeardotCom” can be described in the same ways.

            The early-to-mid-1980s spawned a huge amount of cheesy, cheap, banal, and sometimes fun science-fiction films. Their birth was probably a direct result of the success of “Star Wars” and “E.T.” The sheer volume of these films, marked by their uncreative subject matter, is enough to occupy an entire sub-genre of sci-fi.

            It’s well known by anyone who has experienced it, that love is a wonderful thing that can bring ecstasy alongside unbridled pain. Neil LaBute’s captivating new film “Possession,” adapted from the A.S. Byatt novel, is one of the only romances that I have seen that indicates that falling in love may not be the best end to a romantic journey.

            I have to tread lightly when describing M. Night Shyamalan’s newest film “Signs.”

            When “Halloween” was released back in 1978, the question to ask filmmaker John Carpenter was “How did you do that?” Now that we have reached the eighth film in a series as immortal as its monster, “Halloween: Resurrection,” the question seems to be “Why did you do that?”

            There is a brief moment near the end of Margaret Cho’s new concert film “Notorious C.H.O.” that can sum her up pretty well.

            If you can suspend your disbelief enough to accept swarms of fire-breathing carbon-eating dragons living in London in 2084, then you’re halfway home.

Sunshine State

            With his new drama, “Sunshine State,” prolific writer/director John Sayles (“Lone Star,” “Men With Guns”) pays most direct homage to his ensemble realism predecessors Mike Leigh and Robert Altman.

            Christine Jeffs’ “Sunshine Cleaning” is well-meaning, but slight.
