Yet more moron glorification out of Hollywood.

Werewolf: The Beast Among Us (2012) 50%
A B-movie with some care taken.
Frankenweenie (2012) 90%
Was prepared to not like this, as I find a lot of Burton to be too tilted in favor of style over substance. However, this effort is too well-done for that to happen.
Silver Linings Playbook (2012) 60%
Interesting romcom take, with good acting performances, albeit with some ridiculous plot conveniences used as bondo. Note: I believe Jennifer Lawrence could pass for characters aged 13-50 currently.
Cloud Atlas (2012) 70%
I think the narrative links suffer due to the movie’s abandonment of the novel’s structure, but the production was too good for it to bring the whole epic effort down.
Alien Outpost (2015) 30%
Everything about this could have used more effort.
Serenity (2005) 70%
A decent and fitting coup de grâce for the sci-fi tv series “Firefly”.
Killer Elite (2011) 70%
Decent action flick – much closer to “Heat” than the critics would have you believe. There have been much worse Statham films.
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012) 60%
It looks good enough, but for anyone who has read the book, much of the film seems like filler. Profit notwithstanding, they should have just made one four-hour movie, rather than a trilogy.
Django Unchained (2012) 70%
Emotionally satisfying.
