This Is 40
OK 17 Points 2012

Whenever you see Paul Rudd, Leslie mann, and Jason Segel in a movie, you know it will be somewhat predictable, but in movies like this, predictability can be good. This is 40 is funny. Not especially so, just pleasingly so. Crass jokes about aging, some well scripted cussing, and other forms of …

Dumb and Dumber To
OK 17 Points 2014

You might expect an Ok rating to be a big disappointment, but when you go to a D&D sequel, your expectations are naturally low – so you won’t feel completely cheated out of your admission price. Sitting through the 1:50 movie yields about 20 minutes of solid LOL, and maybe 20 more of chuckle-wor…

Horrible Bosses 2
Good 17 Points 2014

With HB2, you have a mostly sucky story, but really good lol generating comedic antics by a solid cast. You have your new-Stooges with Bateman, Sudeikis, and Day – performing in a way that shows tribute to Danny DeVito’s Sunny in Philadelphia. Then you have Kevin Spacey and Kris Pine who do the…

Furious 7
Very Good 17 Points 2015

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…

Jarhead 2: Fiel...
OK 17 Points 2014

Standard war movie fare:  A small group of jarheads against all odds, survive against the Taliban while carrying out an unlikely mission of having to rescue a local female political hero. Decent (albeit mindless) shoot-em-up entertainment is sometimes just what the Dr. ordered for war movie buffs.

Magic Mike XXL
Good 17 Points 2015

Tons of laughs form the Channing Tatum and crew. I mean, how could you not find the premise of following a stud-muffin crew on their final blowout funny. Just the story generates lols, but the cast does a great job of stretching that out for the entire film.

Insurgent
Very Good 17 Points 2015

This sequel to Divergent builds upon its predecessor’s concept of factions and power politics in a great old-school dystopian future telling. The action packed fight against the bad guys makes for solid entertainment, even if Kate Winslet’s acting isn’t especially memorable.

OK 17 Points 2016

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.

Really Great 17 Points 2017

I thought I’d be tired of the Furious franchise, but nope, another awesome thrill ride! Looking for details? Forget it, just enjoy the action and enjoy the massive amounts of testosterone generated machismo by the modern muscle-bound greats.

Meh, other than some awesome car cyber action and an interesting take on history by Anthony Hopkins
