Ground floor
Going up? The Burning Hotels were when they changed their sex-punk sound. Now dancier, the act aims straight for the penthouse suite.

Whitey power
Whitey Morgan and the 78’s are looking to raise a little hell. Their vehicle? Old-school country — but don’t you dare call it ‘outlaw.’

The Possession
This is why you shouldn’t go antiquing.
Horror
Rod Lott
Certainly I’m not the only one who confused The Possession and The Apparition when they played theaters late this summer. After all, the two horror films not only had soundalike titles and shared similar premises, but opened within seven days of one another.
Why Stop Now
Don’t even start.
Comedy
Rod Lott
Why Stop Now is a comedy that tries too hard to be a comedy. C’mon, you know the kind: Although grounded in reality, the film presents characters so quirky, they may as well come with signs around their neck to signal their stock roles, i.e. “Precocious Sibling” and “Black Sidekick.” Incidentally, this one fronts both of those examples.
The Factory
The ending is a crime.
Thriller
Rod Lott
Can a bad ending ruin an otherwise OK movie? In the case of The Factory, I believe it can.
H.P. Lovecraft’s Cool Air
Ice it.
Horror
Rod Lott
H.P. Lovecraft’s Cool Air is really Albert Pyun’s Cool Air. The notorious director of the aborted Captain America and the should’ve-been-aborted Kathy Ireland vehicle known as Alien from L.A. is up to his usual inert tricks. It shows from the start, which forces viewers to read six title cards in two long minutes.
