Like a decent episode of the groundbreaking and thoughtful series.
Month: October 2014
Draft Day (2014) 50%
Quite unintentionally funny, due in large part to the spit-balled script.
Bad Neighbours (2014) 60%
Disjointed, but represents the ceiling for what “Project X” could have been.
Prometheus (2012) 60%
Very pretty, which makes so much window dressing for what is essentially a straightforward creature feature.
A Million Ways to Die in the West (2014) 30%
A good idea, with a good supporting cast, that looks and sounds good, and is somehow terrible. Based on this effort, it can be said that MacFarlane has an awful sense of humor, and should not be allowed a budget for anything else.
A Most Wanted Man (2014) 70%
Taut, serious spy thriller, but mostly a reminder of the brilliance lost with Hoffman’s death.
Chef (2014) 70%
Sweet, with an authentic feel.
Real Genius (1985) 70%
Young Val being silly, which is fun.
Appleseed Alpha (2014) 60%
Near the “uncanny valley”. Like a decent video game.
Bermuda Tentacles (2014) 40%
Standard SyFy silliness.
