Contains a good atmosphere and a fascinating depiction of vulnerability due to predictability. Uses asynchrony that adds more confusion than mystery. Many unexplored vectors seem more like editing flaws than the red herrings they were probably intended to be.

Project Almanac (2015) 20%
Wholly unoriginal, everything about this movie is annoying.
The Boy Next Door (2015) 20%
Would take some serious investment for this to rise to the level of a “poor-woman’s ‘Gone Girl'”.
Sword Of Vengeance (2015) 30%
The pitch for this must have mentioned Zack Snyder. 80-some minutes with 80% shot in slow-motion.
Mad Max (1979) 70%
Leaves much to imagination, but utilizes a well-conceived post-apocalyptic context.
Hot Tub Time Machine 2 (2015) 30%
Convoluted mess of satire and sentiment that wastes its talented cast.
The Debt (2011) 70%
Well-organized thriller. Fodder for anti-Semites.
Cowboys & Aliens (2011) 30%
Tough to make a worse movie given the premise.
Arena (2011) 20%
Blech. Watch only if there is no MMA on cable, and you’re into that kind of thing.
Midnight in Paris (2011) 70%
Smart romance with good ideas.
