Big Miracle (Kwapis, 2012)
Big Miracle is the kind of film you dread getting assigned to write about as a film critic, you go to by yourself because none of your friends will join you, you growl through the first half, and then you walk out smiling and when a snickering colleague asks you how bad it was say somewhat sheepishly, "Actually, I kinda, sorta, enjoyed it."

I don't say that it was a poorly conceived or executed horror film. It certainly seemed competent and, for all I know, it may very well be more skillfully done than most horror films. I just mean that I found it more disgusting than scary.

Courageous (Kendrick,2011)
I thought I was going to get away without having to write anything about Alex Kendrick's Courageous, a film which is admittedly hard for me to be fair to at least in part because I'm not really the intended audience.
