Finding 'Ohana (2021)

Aimed directly at the Disney tween crowd. Instead of a few winks to Goonies, they should have included some nods as well; adding more of the fun and humor of the original masterpiece. Finding 'Ohana stretched the bounds of reality a little too far, moving the genre from adventure into brainless fantasy.

Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle (2017)

About what I anticipated. People kept saying how good it was, so I figured I’d think it was ok. It was. Funny enough to keep me entertained, but not overly compelling.

Rating: C

Kong: Skull Island (2017)

On par with the other Kong movies I’ve seen. Entertaining and flashy, but not groundbreaking cinema.

Rating: C

The Kings Of Summer (2013)

A quirky telling of three boys in the woods. Always a joy to have real life couple Nick Offerman and Megan Mullally playing the parents.

Rating: C+

22 Jump Street (2014)

Plenty of funny and dumb moments throughout. At least they were self-aware about being a ridiculous sequel. Could have been much worse.
