The train-top fight scene is cool, and Jackman is game, but the rest is kind of a slog.
Month: August 2015
The Wolfman (2010) 40%
Gussied-up mediocre creature feature.
Hot Pursuit (2015) 45%
25 years ago this would have been a hit. Now it is just silly, predictable, and derivative…but harmless.
The Wind Rises (2014) 80%
Another Miyazaki classic. Beautiful, understated.
The Wolf of Wall Street (2013) 60%
A watchable three hours of R-ratedness. Much more of a glorification of hedonism than any kind of satire or cautionary tale (as the makers would have you believe).
The Whole Ten Yards (2003) 20%
Should not exist.
The Whole Nine Yards (2000) 70%
Shallow, funny, and charming.
The Road Within (2015) 35%
Not horrible road trip movie that I will never watch again.
The Notebook (2004) 55%
Sentimental and somewhat unconvincing.
The Lovers (2015) 30%
Josh Hartnett’s Scottish accent is poor. Or as he would say it, poooih.
