The story as it exists involves a single mother Gabbie (Rosario Dawson) and her son Travis (Chase Dillon) who move into an old mansion in backwater Louisiana. When it turns out to be haunted they enlist the help of scientist Ben Matthias (LaKeith Stanfield) to help rid the house of its unwanted visitors.

If anyone has ever actually ridden on the Disneyland ride, it is quite impressive how many of that ride’s visual elements are incorporated into the movie. This includes a ghost under glass, Madame Leota (Jamie Lee Curtis) who is trapped inside a crystal ball. When the film hits its stride the screen is busting with flying apparitions.

If you fancy yourself a film buff, you owe it to yourself to see Haunted Mansion as it will give you an almost lifetime supply of Razzie fodder and fill you with thoughts of nominations for one of those golden raspberries. It will also fuel many a discussion about the best of the worst.

As the film’s title suggests, it’s the story of the betrayal and ultimate assassination of Fred Hampton (Daniel Kaluuya) who was involved in the Black Panther Party in Chicago in the late sixties. Kaluuya whose acting style thus far has been one of reductionism expands his range to include a role filled with anger and indignation. He delivers his words with an unbridled sense of outrage.

At times, the words and emotion are rendered so quickly, it’s hard to understand the actual dialogue, you are oftentimes left with just the feeling that the scene engenders. It keeps you on your toes and never lets you be an impartial and uninvolved viewer. You have to closely follow major and minor details to get the most out of the experience.

Powerful and condemning of the federal government in America in the late sixties, Judas and the Black Messiah show how little advancement the black struggle has made in the decades since. If it is the filmmaker’s intention to spark outrage at this miscarriage of justice and to install a sense of how much needs to change, then they have succeeded spectacularly.

Gone is the intricate detective yarn, where detailed research and some kick ass computer hacking leads to finding the villain. In its place is a big dumb American style action piece. The kind where the most implausible and physics defying scenarios are played out to keep our hero out of major harm’s way. Damaged and slightly singed but not broken.

The Girl in the Spider’s Web is based on the fourth novel of the Millennium Series and was written by David Lagercrantz, not by the author of the first three books, Stieg Larsson, who sadly passed away in 2004 of a heart attack. The film uses little of that book.

In the context of this new approach, the film is good fun and exotic (in both place and action) enough to offer something somewhat new to action film junkies. It’s big and loud and the girls on screen kick some serious butt. Who says only the boys can have all the fun?
