Red Lights (2012)

This week, the Mikes turn their attention to Red Lights, a twisty supernatural thriller where skeptics and believers collide. We dig into De Niro's enigmatic performance, the stacked cast (including Sigourney Weaver and Cillian Murphy), and why the film's over-the-top seriousness makes it both ridiculous and weirdly watchable. Plus: seance chaos, melodrama on a mythic scale, and why sometimes a movie is more fun when it doesn't make sense. Wikipedia page for Red Lights.
