Month: February 2015

Gangster Squad (2013) 40%

Sloppy, two-dimensional, and overly violent. If you’re cool with that, the cast is good and it looks okay.

Nightcrawler (2014) 80%

A very good thriller with excellent use of metaphor.

Dark City (1998) 70%

Impressive partnership of mood and visual effect for its time.

Ponyo (2009) 80%

Wonderful animated fantasy, with a fair bit swimming under the surface.

The Haunting in Connecticut 2: Ghosts of Georgia (2013) 30%

Just like “Field of Dreams”, only with no cornfields, Iowans, baseball, or production value. I understand this was a budget venture, but how much would a new name have cost? Or is the “Haunting in Connecticut” brand a surefire blockbuster that I’m not aware of?

Wreck-it Ralph (2012) 80%

Fabulous story idea decently executed. Both the writing team and the focus groups must have been multi-generational.

That’s What She Said (2012) 30%

Plays like a “Made for Cinemax” film. Dream role for Anne Heche. Most heterosexual males will find a caricature of an ex-girlfriend in here somewhere.

Attack of the Herbals (2011) 0%

Tough to imagine a worse film. Would take some effort to rise to the level of “unintentionally funny”.

The Maze Runner (2014) 60%

The “Lost”-style mystery sandwiched between slices of exposition keeps this interesting. Will not confirm whether the maze exit is guarded by a bunch of “divergents” competing in a “hunger game”.
