Monsters University (2013)

It was ok. While the original was inventive and genuinely funny, this prequel garnered a few modest laughs and was mildly entertaining. Pixar is no longer the trusted brand it once was.

The Artist (2011)

There’s a reason movie studios switched to “Talkies” from silent films. THEY ARE MORE FUN TO WATCH! Why go back to the dark ages for the sake of being quaint and retro? I found the lack of sound in The Artist incredibly annoying and the movie itself quite tedious.

God Bless America (2011)

I found myself saying “This is totally F’d up” a lot. The film/manifesto makes a lot of valid points about America today and its relationship with pop culture. But then again, it skeet shoots a baby with a shotgun, so it’s hard to take seriously. How does a movie like this get green lit when it alienates 90% of the audience by essentially calling them mindless a-holes? I kind of enjoyed it.
