Creepy Concept, Lackluster Story: A Movie Review of “Come Play”
"Come Play" was entertaining and had some great ideas about how to scare children away from playing with facial recognition settings.
Shade (2003)
Tiffany, Charlie and Vernon are con artists looking to up the ante from their typical scams. They figure a good way of doing this is taking down Dean "The Dean" Stevens, a well-known cardsharp, in a rigged game. However, they first need enough money to enter a game with Stevens, so they decide to strike a deal with fellow crook Larry Jennings to scam a local gangster -- which turns out to be a bad idea.
