...Drag Me to Hell (Sam Raimi; in theaters 5/29) Note to bankers: don't cut off loans to your customers, at least if one is a crazy Gypsy. Alison Lohman does and suffers gorily in this schlocky shocker from the director of Spider-Man and Evil Dead...

...Michael Lynton (speaking to the BBC) is already talking about "a fourth, a fifth and a sixth and on and on ... as many as we can make good stories for." (According to some critics, that criterion didn't govern Spider-Man 3.) No word yet on whether director Sam Raimi or star Tobey Maguire will return. SCORE...
