Get Over It (2001)

Not bad. Something to pass the time.

Rating: C-

Inherent Vice (2014)

A confusing fruit salad of characters who meander and mumble their way through a plot that never quite delivers coherency. And believe me, it pains me to say that, because I’m a huge Paul Thomas Anderson fan. But this effort is a stark turn in the wrong direction.

Rating: D

Frankenweenie (2012)

I’m not a fan of Tim Burton animated films, but I do appreciate his creativity. This was mildly entertaining for me, however, I’m sure fans of The Nightmare Before Christmas will love it.

Rating: C

The Spiderwick Chronicles (2008)

It takes more than fantasy music featuring a lot of stringed instruments to create a classic movie for kids and adults alike. ET’s and Goonies don’t grow on trees. Spiderwick may appeal to kiddies with low IQs, but the rest of you will be rolling your eyes and groaning. Me included.
