Shamefully bad.
Month: February 2015
The Incredible Burt Wonderstone (2013) 30%
Might have worked as a five minute sketch.
Black Gold (2006) 30%
Well-produced, but all the images of poverty were not enough to make me forget basic macroeconomics.
2012 (2009) 80%
Wonderfully ridiculous.
Birdman (2014) 70%
Not for the faint of mind. A very good existentialist film that is not very likeable.
21 Jump Street (2012) 80%
Well-written.
50 First Dates (2004) 50%
Almost overcomes Sandler’s natural tendency to be terrible.
50 Years of Ferrari (2001) 40%
95% about racing pedigree, 5% about road cars.
A Clockwork Orange (1971) 80%
Disturbing classic.
The Marine: Homefront (2013) 30%
Neal McDonough steals a couple scenes as a well-spoken, superficially noble terrorist psychopath before succumbing to the silliness of everything else in the movie.
