Just didn’t resonate.
movie review
Leprechaun: Origins (2014) 30%
Standard slasher. Rationality not included.
22 Jump Street (2014) 80%
The story isn’t quite as good as the last edition, but everything else is.
RoboCop (2014) 50%
About as good as I remember the original being.
Sahara (2005) 80%
An exciting, funny, epic adventure that looks good, sounds good, and has a good cast. Not sure what movie the critics were watching instead.
Cody the Robosapien (2013) 30%
Awful, but held my two-year-old’s attention for ten minutes.
Night Moves (2014) 60%
First of all, it looks and feels authentic. Second, the lack of background/context for the characters makes their occasional irrationality frustrating to reason about. Finally, the movie’s genius is in taking what would be considered understandable beliefs/behavior/actions and pushing them to the next level, which begets questionable morality and good drama.
Tears of the Sun (2003) 50%
Mediocre action movie. Lazy plot conflict driven by miscommunication.
Rounders (1998) 70%
Classic character-driven card-player cinema.
Rudolph & Frosty’s Christmas in July (1979) 50%
Too much.
