| Brigsby Bear | 2017 | 88 | 1 | (full review) | | Sorry to Bother You | 2018 | 88 | 1 | (full review) | | Free Fire | 2017 | 70 | 3 | (full review) - Surprisingly a movie full of shooting, whizzing bullets, taking cover, fighting, groaning, crawling, hopping, slithering, dragging, hobbling, cursing, limping, bleeding and double crossing is super fun and amusing in this context. | | Ghostbusters | 2016 | 70 | 3 | (full review) - As a kid in 1984, I was as in love with the original Ghostbusters as the rest of the nation. And I'm sure at some point I watched it again in the 90's; but when I tried to watch it again this past weekend (had to pay $1.99, can't believe Netflix didn't have it for free) to prepare myself for the reboot, I didn't feel like it held up. Amusing, but not nearly as dear to me as I thought it was. Now after seeing this 2016 Ghostbusters, in comparison, it makes the original Ghostbusters pure genius. | | The Nice Guys | 2016 | 60 | 5 | (full review) - The moral compass of the movie is 13 year-old Holly March played by young Australian actress Angourie Rice, she's got a really good presence in the movie, reminds me of Kristen Bell in | | The Lobster | 2015 | 34 | 6 | (full review) - I had my mind completely open for THE LOBSTER. you don't approach such a film without knowing you're in for strange. But even a dystopian future, needs to be more clear on the rules of things. It all felt so willy nilly. | | Horrible Bosses 2 | 2014 | 20.6 | 7 | (full review) - The plot hinges on a competing developer who destroys their business and steals their idea, a kidnapping plot botched by an untimely deployment of nitrous oxide, a would-be victim who uses the guys to fake his abduction and squeeze a million bucks out of his negligent father, etc. It moves predictably from point to point, reintroducing erstwhile enemies, providing numerous riffing opportunities, and incorporating myriad supposedly envelope-pushing provocations. Only the diverting gag reel that accompanies the closing credits offers a respite from this persistently humorless material. |
