Aspires to nothing, and nearly achieves it. Yancy Butler gets a fun role.
movie review
Last Vegas (2013) 40%
Limp script. Only restrained giggle I had was when I started thinking about how this would look in a BluRay value pack alongside “Something’s Gotta Give” and “The Bucket List”.
Last Will (2010) 20%
Has this shown on Lifetime yet? Or did they deem it too awful, even for them?
The Grand Seduction (2014) 40%
Movie about quaint people trying too hard that tries too hard to be quaint.
The Conjuring (2013) 70%
Mostly technically competent spooker.
Little Fockers (2010) 30%
A tragic tale of a desperate and brutal journey undertaken by a set of renowned actors…to cash a paycheck.
Ghost in the Shell (1996) 60%
Not bad, but likely much more appreciated by fans of the original manga.
Little Man Tate (1991) 70%
A movie about empathy. How often does that happen?
I Am Ali (2014) 40%
Reinforces the notion that Muhammad Ali’s life was not truly his own, but rather a construction from the composite lens of his family, friends, handlers, and image-makers.
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) 80%
Epic.
