Starred Up (2014) 60%
Raw, simple prison drama.
The Adjustment Bureau (2011) 80%
Good science fiction, well-acted.
Contagion (2011) 80%
I am a sucker for disaster movies, and Soderbergh pitches this one right over the plate.
Rango (2011) 70%
Good-looking animated western homage. Probably best appreciated by people that watch movies professionally.
Fright Night (2011) 70%
The original film did not need to be remade, but that said, this version is witty and well-done.
Seventh Son (2015) 40%
The Dude dons an indeterminate accent and fights witches and monsters with mediocre CGI. He also shares the screen with a couple of wooden young leads.
Moneyball (2011) 70%
Well-produced experiment in difficult book adaptation. Frustrating to those who actually know something about sabermetrics or the economics of baseball.
Our Idiot Brother (2011) 70%
Outstanding cast and a decent idea. Probably hit the ceiling for its premise.
Drive Angry (2011) 30%
Strange, predictable, and ultimately disappointing, despite the fact that I have a decent tolerance for bad Cage movies compared to many people. William Fichtner steals some scenes, and Amber Heard is fun to watch, so I guess that adds up to 30%.
