Between Earth and Sky (2018)

 

A father and daughter are on their way to dance camp when they spot the girl's best friend on the side of the road. When they stop to offer the friend a ride, their good intentions soon result in terrible consequences. 

Highly construed drama has its moments of suspense and mystery, but doesn't quite compel, which may also be due to the cast of thoroughly disagreeable characters.

 

World War Z (2013)

A United Nations employee traverses the world in a race against time to stop the Zombie pandemic that is toppling armies and governments, and threatening to destroy humanity itself.

Unusual variation within the Zombie genre has some good moments and is extremely well produced, but the episodic structure of the story, the unconvincingly construed ending and especially the fact that the movie is made for a PG-13 audience will disappoint diehard fans.

Maltin***: "Intense, involving horror movie has us rooting for Pitt and the good guys he encounters in his globe-trotting race to find a cure without being eaten alive. Lots of scares but no graphic gore, which is quite a novelty."
