Mortdecai
This quirky misfire of a comedy is more Austin Powers raunch than Inspector Clouseau madcap.
The Boy Next Door
If only the boy would’ve stayed next door. Then we would’ve been spared this tacky, salacious, sexual, violent movie.
Blackhat
This is something of a computer-hacking non-thriller that feels illogical, ill-defined and, well, rather poorly “coded.”
The Wedding Ringer
It’s a dead ringer for a goofy-faced jester who makes you giggle … before hitting you with a clown-car full of rancid cream pie.
Spare Parts
Sadly, there’s not much at all that’s magical about Seventh Son—unless you want to talk literally about the dark sorcery its characters crave.
Taken 3
The Taken trilogy has taken its toll on Liam Neeson in more ways than one, and he looks almost as tired and bored this time around as this predictably violent thriller feels.
The Woman in Black 2: Angel of Death
Keep calm and smile at the demon, they might say. But since when does that sort of thing save the day? Especially in a sequel.
The Descent
‘The Descent’ begins with a bloody car crash. And it ends with a bloody revenge killing. In between, six women go spelunking. With bloody results.
The Gambler
In blackjack, the object is to reach 21 without going over. If Jim played the game like he lives his life, he’d say “hit me” at 19.
Unbroken
Unbroken, then, is hard to watch but easy to praise. The horror of the inhumanity it depicts is wrenching. The triumph of one man’s spirit and heart is both astounding and deeply inspiring.
