Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (2008)

The movie is just ok, but the music is great, especially if you are an indie snob like me. If Nickelback or Hoobastank is your things, you should steer clear.

Thor: Love And Thunder (2022)

 

It felt like an endless video game with non-stop flashing graphics. I’m glad Waititi can make a fortune directing this schlock so he can continue pumping out high quality series like Reservation Dogs, What We Do In The Shadows, and Our Flag Means Death.

Charlie Bartlett (2007)

This has the feel of a semi-autobiographical first time effort. I don't know if that's the case, it's just the impression I got. There's a "Running With Scissors" vibe to it, only this film was actually good. It flirts with being juvenile at times, but keeps it reigned in enough to maintain focus. You'll enjoy Robert Downey Jr. as always.

Rating: B-

The House Bunny (2008)

I knew I was in trouble when the Happy Madison logo came up. I didn't realize Adam Sandler had his Zohan dipped into this production. Fortunately, Anna Faris can spin crap into comedy gold. If not for her, this movie would have been a 24 carat F. 

Rating: D

Defendor (2009)

The similarities between this fake superhero movie and Super, starring Rainn Wilson, are varied. Both are dark films that take themselves seriously, at least from the viewpoints of the title characters. Alas, neither film was able to rise above mediocrity.

Rating: C

Thor (2011)

People have been saying how great this is, but as we know, people are stupid. Thor isn’t good. It’s your typical comic book movie with a boring plot and shallow characters. The only redeeming qualities are the funny lines given by Portman’s intern. The rest is smoke and mirrors.
