Sticky with sap from the Disney tree, but a good sports movie underneath.
Month: October 2014
Maleficent (2014) 40%
A good performance by Jolie cannot rescue the awful screenplay. Who knew that Sleeping Beauty was really about a deadbeat dad?
The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008) 60%
A bit darker, smarter, and less wondrous than the previous installment.
Rob the Mob (2014) 40%
Another in a recent spate of movies with morons as protagonists.
Robin Hood (2010) 50%
Well-made and well-performed, but missing requisite drama. Also leaves you wishing they would reenact the traditional Robin Hood legend events, which would pick up where this movie leaves off.
Fast & Furious 6 (2013) 60%
Not as good as the previous installment, because with this version, the story is as preposterous as the action, and it needs to play the straight man instead.
Plastic (2014) 30%
Evidence that a heist movie (especially a moronic one) cannot work when all the characters range from moderately to thoroughly despicable.
Rampage: Capital Punishment (2014) 40%
Not completely thoughtless.
Repo Men (2010) 30%
Overly long with a bad screenplay.
Live Die Repeat: Edge of Tomorrow (2014) 70%
Decent big-budget action flick.
