Very pretty, which makes so much window dressing for what is essentially a straightforward creature feature.

A Million Ways to Die in the West (2014) 30%
A good idea, with a good supporting cast, that looks and sounds good, and is somehow terrible. Based on this effort, it can be said that MacFarlane has an awful sense of humor, and should not be allowed a budget for anything else.
A Most Wanted Man (2014) 70%
Taut, serious spy thriller, but mostly a reminder of the brilliance lost with Hoffman’s death.
Chef (2014) 70%
Sweet, with an authentic feel.
Real Genius (1985) 70%
Young Val being silly, which is fun.
Appleseed Alpha (2014) 60%
Near the “uncanny valley”. Like a decent video game.
Bermuda Tentacles (2014) 40%
Standard SyFy silliness.
The Fault In Our Stars (2014) 70%
Touching and wise, but a lot of things were idealized: cancer, blindness, and boyfriends, notably.
The Croods (2013) 70%
Likeable family fare.
The Color of Money (1986) 80%
Exceptional film about psychology and pool.
