#56 – Bad Turn Worse

A pretty standard and mediocre crime thriller with decent performances and an alright story.  Everything about this movie is just okay and never really strays one way or the other.  It wasn’t great but it wasn’t horrible either. Recommend? I guess…maybe.

#15 – Frank

Movies like this are why I started this project in the first place.  Frank is an examination of life and what makes us all different.  A movie so original and odd that I doubt it will be on many radars but deserves an audience.  A film about music and the creative process at his core,…

#3 – Locke

Locke is a very easy movie to describe, it’s Tom Hardy in a car for 85 minutes, what you might not expect is how tense and mesmerizing it is and one of the best films I’ve seen this year.  It seems like what should be a one man play and the movie is an absolute…

#53 – Robocop (2014)

What a big, boring, steaming pile of crap.  I hated this movie…HATED it.  I’ve never seen a movie that was as loud and at the same time so damn dull, over complicated and sterile.  A complete and utter waste of time that had tons of potential working from the original and a solid cast. Recommend?…

#8 – Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit

Get past the ridiculous title and you have a fun spy thriller that’s done well and has a tight story.  The cast equip themselves well even though I thought Kiera Knightley didn’t have much to do.  Chris Pine could easily be a Jack Ryan for a new generation of fans.  I want to nitpick the…

#18 – Drive Hard #19 – The Bag Man

I put these two together because they’re bound together by equally awful performances from John Cusack and both movies are just terrible.  Drive Hard brings in Thomas Jane to play off of Cusack’s obnoxious “villain” and The Bag Man is just infuriating all around from beginning to end. Recommend? I wish both of these movies…

Tomorrowland

Hang on to your butts… There’s so much action in this trailer and I love how so much about this movie is still a mystery.  I haven’t seen a movie by Brad Bird that I haven’t liked yet and this looks like a different role for George Clooney in a pure adventure movie.  Tomorrowland looks…

#4 – 3 Days To Kill

I was really surprised by how much I liked this movie.  A cheesy trailer and sketchy track record from Kevin Costner as late made me skeptical but it’s fun!  Costner delivers and Amber Heard is smoking hot and gives a solid performance.  Good action work and some well timed humor really round out a good…

#60 – The Trip #61 – The Trip To Italy

Two loosely plotted road trip movies with scenes that sometimes run too long and at times feature grating impression riffs but I found both of them to be charming and fun.  I think I liked The Trip To Italy a tad more but Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon are good in both and they’re both…

#91 – Morning Star

First thing to know about this movie is that there is no plot, absolutely none.  A medieval movie with castles and swords that is so completely boring that I was forced to start returning emails and clean things just to keep my sanity.  The poster is more exciting than anything that actually happens in this…
