A cast this stacked has no business being this forgettable. That is the thought I kept returning to throughout James Ashcroft's The Whisper Man, adapted from Alex North's novel, which somehow assembles Robert De Niro, Michael Keaton, Michelle Monaghan, Owen Teague and Adam Scott, and then

Not so long ago I sat through a zombie comedy that was so busy cracking jokes it forgot zombies were supposed to be scary. That film left me cold. Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse is the direct antidote to that problem, and a neat little lesson in getting the
