The Lion King (2019)

Looks impressive. Fairly fun and captivating as long as you skip through most of the songs, which were a little over-the-top at times.

Rating: C

Toy Story 4 (2019)

Cute and fun. Watched with my nieces and nephews. I wasn’t bored.

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-

Freaks Of Nature (2015)

A fun mishmash of zombies, vampires, humans, and aliens. Smarter than I thought it was going to be. And funny too. A good balance between cartoonish violence and character development. Surprisingly good.

Rating: C+

Keanu (2016)

Pretty dumb, but also occasionally funny. Like a below average episode of Key & Peele.

Rating: C-

Horrible Bosses 2 (2014)

Another unnecessary sequel. Some mildly amusing parts, but not enough to warrant getting the cast back together.

Rating: D+

Pitch Perfect 2 (2015)

Epic failure. The movie was so desperate to be funny, but of course wasn’t. While the first was based on a book with fleshed out characters and a solid storyline, the sequel hoped that propping up those same characters would make magic strike twice. It didn’t. The only thing that made the movie somewhat bearable was Keegan-Michael Key.

Rating: D-

Let’s Be Cops (2014)

Largely sloppy writing reminiscent of a mediocre sitcom, minus the laugh track. A tragic case of writers believing they are funnier than they really are. It’s rampant in Hollywood.

Rating: D-

The Lego Movie (2014)

A few chuckles for adults, otherwise, it’s for the 12 and under crowd.

Rating: D
