Monsters Vs. Aliens (2009)

 

Not entertaining for kids or adults. Jokes aren't funny, the story is lame, and characters are boring. The one exception is Seth Rogan as The Blob. He's hilarious as usual. Waste of A-List actor voices. 

Rating: F+

Taking Lives (2004)

 

A completely implausible script weighted down further by poor acting. Shame to see both Keifer and Ethan Hawk wasting their talent in this stinker. 

Rating: F

They Cloned Tyrone (2023)

 

This movie has it all. Ghetto clones. Nancy Drew pimps. Mind control grape drank. Giggly fried chicken. 

Rating: C

Phone Booth (2002)

Decent suspense and an interesting plotline, but no big payoff at the end. I wonder how much Kiefer got paid for literally phoning in his part.

Rating: C

Melancholia (2011)

I swore I would never see another Lars Von Trier film again after the nightmare that was Antichrist. But I kept reading things that said this one was worth seeing, so I acquiesced. Things move very slowly, sometimes in slow motion. It’s dreary. The wedding scene is as boring as the one in Rachel Getting Married. Halfway through you’ll be ready for the planets to collide so the film with end. I used the FF button to get there faster.

Rating: F

Truth or Consequences, N.M. (1997)

Upon a second viewing, I still really enjoyed it, and am surprised Keifer Sutherland hasn't done more directing since his debut film. I think he does a very respectable job.

Rating: B+
