Date Night (2010)

Truthfully, I get more enjoyment out of an average episode of The Office or 30 Rock than I did this movie. It was ok, but many of the jokes fell flat. The writing wasn't particularly clever. Not enough fun cameos to make up for it either.

X-Men: Apocalypse (2016)

It’s almost as if they built that pyramid specifically to be destroyed quite easily. Obviously, this latest installment starts out quite ridiculous and never comes back to Earth.

The special effects are quite amazing though. The Flash sequence was pretty cool. For me, I need a more grounded story-line based somewhat in reality. When every law of nature is thrown out the window and the screen is a blender of superpowers swirled together, I lose interest. It’s a shame everything went off the deep end after the first two X-Men.

Magic Mike (2012)

A lot of unlikeable dudes acting douchey when not taking off their clothes for skanky chicks. The narrative felt amateurish. The dialogue even worse. There were a few worthwhile moments, but this was definitely Soderbergh slumming it.
