Orion And The Dark (2024)

With Charlie Kauffman calling the shots, I kind of hoped it would be weirder. Some cute moments and themes, but mostly straightforward with a bit of cheese.

The Unbearable Weight Of Massive Talent (2022)

 

Nic goes mega-meta in an action comedy that isn’t quite funny or thrilling enough. 

Rating: C

The Hunt (2020)

A few twists on the hunting-humans-for-sport genre, of which I’ve seen my fair share. The concept was fun, but I would have preferred to see more hunt and less everything else. The lady-on-lady fight-to-the-death ending was anticlimactic.

Rating: C

Blockers (2018)

Occasionally funny. Teens are stupid.

Rating: C-

Storks (2016)

Geared mostly toward kids, but with a few laughs for adults. I dozed off a couple times while watching with my nieces and nephews.

Rating: C-

Sisters (2015)

Amy and Tina get their friends together to make a movie, but the script is pointless and most of the jokes fall flat. A few laughs keep it from becoming a complete disaster.

Rating: D

Suicide Squad (2016)

This third installment feels like a series of flashy music videos loosely held together by something resembling a plot. Despite watching the extended version, it felt like major storylines were missing. As if they’d taken 13 TV episodes and edited them into a 2-hour movie.

Some fun moments and likable characters make it bearable, but there was far too much magic and craziness for my liking. I prefer my superhero movies to be more subtle. 

Rating: C-

Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising (2016)

This is a film that didn’t deserve a sequel.

“So why did you watch it then?”

Great question. I’m dumb.

Overall quite weak except for a few chuckles here and there—like an episode of SNL.

Rating: D-

Neighbors (2014)

I actually laughed quite a bit, but the party got old towards the end.
