Good
Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Josh Gad, Peter Dinklage, make a great combo of sarcastic laugh generators in this movie with the stupidest plot ever. Who cares. It featured some of the great old-school games I grew up with and provided plenty of chuckles. Bonus cameos from Sarena Williams and Dan Ayk…

Now that my kids are grown, I don’t see many Disney movies, never mind re-makes of classics. In this case, I’m glad I decided to heed my whimsical choice. The Jungle Book was really well done, and John Favreau’s use of famous actors’ voices was spectacular. My favorite? Christopher Walkin as Kin…

Barely OK
Ok, so I put off seeing this for many years, but I finally bit the bullet and watched the teenage phenomena fueling Twilight. Well, apparently I wasn’t missing much. Other than the beautiful Washington rainy backdrop, it was an amalgam of unlikely events strung together to highlight the the tee…

Why didn’t they think of this before? Instead of just outsmarting and escaping witches, why not chew them up with machine guns, arrows, and samurai-style punches? Well gratuitous action fans, your movie has arrived. Watching the pair of Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton kick some witch-ass was l…

I did not see this coming… I was dragged to Maleficent by my lovely wife, and I ended up thinking it was great. On the surface, the animated forest with faeries, pixies, tree-people, and weird frog like characters would normally be a major turn-off for me. Well, I guess it was at first, but th…

Almost every conceivable car, gun, hand-to-hand combat, and areal action sequence was stuffed in to 137 minutes. A bit outlandish, but very cool. The acting isn’t stellar, but fits well with the film’s action and appeals to the franchise’s loyal fans. What else would you expect from all the bra…

OK
This Faux documentary about storm chasers reminds me that living in earthquake country isn’t so bad. You have your sub-plots: storm crew who hasn’t had a good shot all year, high school filmographer trying to get a girl, family trying to hold it together. However, its all about the twister act…

Independence Day: Resurgence

OK
Yet another example of an unimpressive sequel. Now, instead of a fond remembrance of a classic, I’ve got a bad taste in my mouth from a cheesy man vs invading aliens reboot that tries too hard to use nostalgia for the old characters.
