Month: June 2015

The Ides of March (2011) 70%

Tight political thriller that could work at least as well as a play – as Shakespearean as the title. No more or less than what a movie should be, well-acted.

Cars 2 (2011) 60%

Pales in comparison to most other Pixar, but you get what you pay for and your kids will like it.

Snowpiercer (2014) 80%

Creative, badass, and good. Seems to have avoided the typical edits produced by focus groups and studio executives.

Never Let Me Go (2010) 65%

A big, exquisite ball of sadness, kicked down the street by an admonition at the end that we all should feel as sad as the characters.

The Truth About Cats & Dogs (1996) 60%

Handles the characterization of men quite poorly, but Garofalo turns in a nice performance.

The Trip to Italy (2014) 70%

Very slightly worse than the original, but the same observations apply.

The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (2014) 60%

Visually interesting, but the story seems as if a ten-year-old was tasked with rewriting Tolkien and adding bits.

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (2005) 65%

Not comparable to the book, but could have been worse.

The Guvnors (2014) 50%

The same basic premise of generational contrast could be done better, and probably has.
