Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium (2007)

Instead of pulling a cute bunny out of his hat, Mr. Magorium opened his hand to reveal a giant turd. Great casting could not save this poorly written master-piece of shit.

Do I really care if Natalie Portman will ever be able to live up to her potential on the piano? No! Do I really care if this Willie Wonka meets K-PAX freak show is an alien or just an eccentric pedophile? Not really. Was I rooting for the 37 year old man trapped inside a little boy's body, Magorium's sidekick, to succumb to a tragic toy related accident? Oh yes!

What really blows my mind is I loved the directors previous film: Stranger Than Fiction. Stay far away from this one.

A Perfect Getaway (2009)

A cat and mouse thriller set in beautiful Kauai. They try their hardest to keep you guessing, but odds are you’ll figure it out before any big reveals. My biggest complaint about the film was how the “bad” couple continued trying to sell their act even when nobody else was around. I realize this was to keep the audience in the dark, but in retrospect it didn’t make sense.
