Does the world really need another horror spoof? One taking aim at two sub-genres (old dark house and exorcism) that’ve been sent up more times than Bruce Campbell’s been asked about Evil Dead 4?
Let’s be clear: Hell Baby isn’t art, but it’s better than the Epic/Date/Disaster Movie axis of evil (high praise, right?) and scores just enough hits to balance the misses in its scattergun approach.
Writer/directors Thomas Lennon and Robert Ben Garant triple-up as Vatican exorcists investigating a demon pregnancy in New Orleans.
Several scenes feel like over-extended improv-battles but the actors (particularly man of the match Keegan Michael Key) mostly manage to translate the fun they’re having to the audience.

Of course, in the real world, most porn addicts wouldn't bag someone like Johansson. At least I think. You'd more than likely end up with the 50 cigs a day 30 year old with 17 kids who looks like she's 55.

I truly cannot give a s**t when people say Radcliffe is good in a movie, it is physically impossible.

Fruitvale won the Grand Jury Prize and should definitely be number one; i was there in the theater during the first showing of it and everybody was in tears.
