END FAIL: Premature Ending Problematic for The Devil Inside
The ending of The Devil Inside is provoking audiences nationwide to boo and hiss as they leave the theater. From blog posts to Facebook entries to Twitter tweets, American audiences are voicing their disdain of the choice to end the found footage exorcism horror film in such a way. Still the movie is cleaning up at the box office raking in over 30 million its opening weekend.

END FAIL: The Irony of Green Lantern’s Stinger
Our “End Fail” column is where we deconstruct the ending of a movie that didn’t work, for one reason or another. With Green Lantern my problem isn’t so much with the ending, although it has one nitpicky flaw I’ll get into in a second, but with the stinger thrown in during the end credits. If you didn’t see the stinger, I’ll discuss it below, but discussing both the stinger and the end...
END FAIL: Scream 4 Misses New Franchise Foundation
Usually, I use “End Fail” columns to discuss where the ending of a movie failed to make sense or broke the film’s own rules. This time, I’m going to take a different approach and discuss how an alternate ending for Scream 4 could have revitalized the franchise and bore a new trilogy on its shoulders. As usual, this means discussing the ending of the movie, which means there will be significant...
END FAIL: The Ambiguity of Sucker Punch’s Fantasy World
Sucker Punch is a movie that’s dividing viewers. The Widescreen Warrior staff has leaned toward the low side, feeling like Zack Snyder’s latest film is flawed, suffering from a lack of connection between the audience and the characters and with a narrative that is disjointed even random at times. Some of you agree with us, while others have called us to task, even going so far as to say that we...
END FAIL: Tron: Legacy Data Transfer Incomplete?
I’ve been mulling over Tron: Legacy a lot since I saw it, thanks in part to nostalgia for the first movie, thanks in part to the awesome Daft Punk soundtrack, and thanks in part to a piece of the movie’s conclusion that’s been bothering me since I left the theater. While I don’t think the ending (or the element of it that bothers me) damages the movie in any way, I wanted to toss my thoughts...

END FAIL: Splice Science Overlooked?
While Splice is definitely a summer type movie, I’ve enjoyed it enough that it’s stayed in my mind for a few days. Suddenly, last night, while I was working with something completely unrelated, a large flaw in the movie’s resolution struck me. Thinking about it for a while now, I thought I’d put this out there for readers to consider, but be warned this reveals the ending of the movie, which...
