Gandhi | 1982 | 95 | 2 | (full review) - A bit overly long, which made it a bit tough to watch, but excellently performed and very insightful. Should be required viewing. |

Trainwreck | 2015 | 86 | 21 | (full review) - I'm not always a fan of Amy Schumer, but this was really entertaining. Bill Hader and LeBron James were really good in their roles. |

Star Trek Beyond | 2016 | 83 | 32 | |
Straight Outta Compton | 2015 | 83 | 32 | - Lacked a great performance and the emotional hook it could have had if Easy E were made a more sympathetic character. Still a great story. |
The Accountant | 2016 | 83 | 32 | (full review) |
Woman in Gold | 2015 | 83 | 32 | - A good story, with a few strong presentation elements. Nothing super special about it, but a decent ride through a story based on true events with decent performances. |
Eddie the Eagle | 2016 | 82 | 37 | |
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them | 2016 | 82 | 37 | |
Hell or High Water | 2016 | 82 | 37 | - A beautiful film whose dialogue was decent, not great, which is a shame because the performances were good. Storyline was decent but was a bit too watered down. Not the masterpiece I was expecting. |
Network | 1976 | 82 | 37 | - Funnier than I thought it would be. Better social commentary than I was expecting. |
Rebel Without a Cause | 1955 | 82 | 37 | |
War Dogs | 2016 | 82 | 37 | |
Everybody Wants Some | 2016 | 80 | 43 | (full review) |
Get Hard | 2015 | 80 | 43 | |
Ghostbusters | 2016 | 80 | 43 | - Wiig and McCarthy weren't nearly at their best, but McKinnon, Jones and Hemsworth were very entertaining. The plot was decent, the throwbacks were fun. I'd be interested in a sequel. |
Hello, My Name Is Doris | 2016 | 80 | 43 | |
Spotlight | 2015 | 80 | 43 | (full review) - Intriguing and important story, but nothing special about the way it was told. Above average movie, decent dialogue. Decent acting. Nothing special. |
Steve Jobs | 2015 | 80 | 43 | - Strong dialogue, good performances and a story with heart. |
Suicide Squad | 2016 | 80 | 43 | |
The Hateful Eight | 2016 | 80 | 43 | (full review) |
Where to Invade Next | 2015 | 80 | 43 | |
Doctor Strange | 2016 | 78 | 52 | |
It's Complicated | 2009 | 78 | 52 | |
White Christmas | 1954 | 78 | 52 | |
John Wick | 2014 | 77 | 55 | |
Legend | 2015 | 77 | 55 | - This might be the first time ever that the music in a movie took me so far out of the tone it was trying to set that it hurt the film's rating in a big way. |
Life Itself | 2014 | 77 | 55 | |
Ratchet & Clank | 2016 | 77 | 55 | (full review) |
The End of the Tour | 2015 | 77 | 55 | |
Troop Beverly Hills | 1989 | 77 | 55 | |
Wonder Woman | 2009 | 77 | 55 | |
The Maze Runner | 2014 | 76 | 62 | - Loses points once they reveal why the people are dealing with the maze. |
10 Cloverfield Lane | 2016 | 75 | 63 | |
28 Weeks Later | 2007 | 75 | 63 | |
Age of Adaline, The | 2015 | 75 | 63 | - If it weren't for the narrator, who forced plot points which could've been otherwise obvious, the film would've scored higher. The first act of the film took waaaaaaay too long. They should've focused more on the third. Picks up dramatically when Harrison Ford arrives. |
Brooklyn | 2015 | 75 | 63 | - The main character and, to some extent, her two male suitors, were the only ones with any sort of depth at all. Decent story, but lacked a supporting cast. |
Captain Fantastic | 2016 | 75 | 63 | - Not as interesting a story as the premise seemed. A couple illogical characters really threw things off. Not a bad movie at all. Certainly had enjoyable parts. Decent performances. Nothing groundbreaking. |
Hail, Caesar! | 2016 | 75 | 63 | (full review) |
Infinitely Polar Bear | 2015 | 75 | 63 | - At times, Ruffalo showed off his great acting skills. At other points he seemed to be trying too hard. Not as funny as it could have been, not as dramatic or interesting, either. |
Justice League - The Flashpoint Paradox | 2013 | 75 | 63 | |
Miles Ahead | 2016 | 75 | 63 | (full review) |
Pitch Perfect 2 | 2015 | 75 | 63 | - In some ways more enjoyable than the first, but they dumbed down a few of the characters, making them less interesting and a more shallow comedy. |
Police Academy | 1984 | 75 | 63 | |
Revenge of the Nerds | 1984 | 75 | 63 | - A bit cringe-worthy with all the pervy stuff that the nerds do to get back at the sorority working with the Alpha Betas. And the way the Alpha Betas just rule campus is a bit ridiculous. Other than that, a funny flick. |
The Angry Birds Movie | 2016 | 75 | 63 | |
The Jungle Book | 2016 | 75 | 63 | (full review) |
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot | 2016 | 75 | 63 | (full review) - Entertaining but nothing special. |
Just One Of The Guys | 1985 | 73 | 78 | |
Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit | 2014 | 70 | 79 | - Nothing wrong with it, but also nothing special. Decent enough that I'd watch a sequel, but I wouldn't run to see it in the theater. |
Superman/Batman: Public Enemies | 2009 | 70 | 79 | |
A Goofy Movie | 1995 | 68 | 81 | - Nice 90s nostalgia wrapped up in a decent father-son story. Don't go into it looking for laughs, though. |
A Bigger Splash | 2015 | 65 | 82 | (full review) |
Batman: The Killing Joke | 2016 | 65 | 82 | - Execution in certain spots was good, but others not, and a portion added to the script which diverges from the source material was a disappointment. |
Paper Towns | 2015 | 65 | 82 | (full review) |
Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping | 2016 | 65 | 82 | - A bit too absurd at times for my taste, but often very funny. |
Shaun the Sheep Movie | 2015 | 65 | 82 | |
My Neighbor Totoro | 1988 | 63 | 87 | - Picked up a bit in the second half. Otherwise, nothing too special. |
Youth | 2015 | 63 | 87 | |
Jason Bourne | 2016 | 60 | 89 | (full review) |
Son of Batman | 2014 | 60 | 89 | |
The Lobster | 2015 | 60 | 89 | (full review) |
The Masked Saint | 2016 | 60 | 89 | (full review) - Spotty writing in areas and a narrow target audience, but entertaining. |
A Hologram for the King | 2015 | 55 | 93 | (full review) |
Barbarella | 1968 | 55 | 93 | (full review) |
Mike & Dave Need Wedding Dates | 2016 | 55 | 93 | - A mostly forgettable film that had its moments of being entertaining, but was otherwise just terribly acted. |
The Bronze | 2015 | 55 | 93 | - The dialogue was cringe-worthy, but the themes and execution was good enough to keep it from being a bad movie. |
Mr. Turner | 2014 | 50 | 97 | (full review) |
Sisters | 2015 | 50 | 97 | - Some parts were really funny. Some parts were really stupid. The premise did not work for me at all. FULL ON Adults Behaving Like Children in effect, and not to great effect. I hope Fey and Poehler enjoyed their paid vacation together, because it's a blemish on their filmography. |
The Smurfs and the Magic Flute | 1976 | 50 | 97 | - Nothing especially smurfy about it. |
Hardcore Henry | 2016 | 35 | 100 | (full review) |
Vacation | 2015 | 35 | 100 | - I laughed a few times, but they tried way too hard and a lot of the jokes were just terrible. |
