We Love You, Sally Carmichael! (2017)

Cute idea. Terrible execution. The acting was abysmal. Dialogue was stupid. Characters were boring and trite. Avoid at all costs.

Bad Words (2013)

An uneven comedy from Jason Bateman. Funny enough to not disappoint, even if many of the jokes are mean spirited.

Rating: C

Adaptation. (2002)

Charlie Kauffman is the genius behind Being John Malkovich and this film follows his odd genre of twisting reality with fiction. So nice to see Nic Cage in a non dumbass role for a change. Mix that with a great supporting cast and Spike Jonze behind the camera, and you have a must see movie.

Zodiac (2007)

Half of Hollywood shows up in this docu-thriller by David Fincher. I
wasn't familiar with the history behind these killings, so I didn't know what was coming. Well written screenplay based on the material
available. It's not a movie you'll run out to see again, but it's certainly worth seeing once.

Our Idiot Brother (2011)

Sweet. Funny. Character driven. Stock full of my favorite actors in a script worthy of their talents. It’s an optimistic film that takes the motto “honesty is the best policy” seriously. A must rent.
