Hereafter (2010)

Hereafter (2010)

[6] Moderately entertaining supernatural drama from director Clint Eastwood. The film follows three separate story lines that come together in the end. Matt Damon plays a reluctant psychic who can commune with the dead; Cecile de France plays a news…
The Muppets (2011)

The Muppets (2011)

[7] I can't imagine a harder franchise to revive than The Muppets. They're so innocent, so low-fi, so much a product of the 70s and 80s... is it possible for them to garner new fans, or are kids today just…
Scream 4 (2011)

Scream 4 (2011)

[6] You really aren't supposed to return to a well too many times. But in the case of the Scream franchise, I was still thirsty. So I drank... and the water's still good! Of course the novelty has worn off,…

Swiss Army Man (2016)

Cooties (2014)

[4] Elijah Wood and Rainn Wilson star in this tepid horror-comedy about a group of teachers terrorized by children gone savage after infected chicken nuggets are served in the school cafeteria. I was bored with this one. It's neither funny nor…
The Imitation Game (2014)

The Imitation Game (2014)

[7] Director Morten Tyldum makes this true story of Alan Turing and his team of mathematicians fighting the second world war from their college studies as thrilling and interesting as possible. Benedict Cumberbatch headlines as the socially awkward leader of…

Love and Other Drugs (2011)

Love and Other Drugs (2011)

[4] Jake Gyllenhaal plays a pharmaceutical rep and Anne Hathaway plays a free-spirit with the onset of Parkinson's. They get together and take us with them on a dreary tale that's more sad than funny, kinda boring, and lacking much…
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011)

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011)

[6] Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara star in the second adaptation of the Stieg Larsson novel about a journalist and a computer hacker who work to solve the mystery of a missing woman. Is there perhaps something wrong with the fact…
