Micro-budgeted genre film with some poor acting and cinematography.
Month: May 2016
Nothing Lasts Forever (1984) 40%
Inventive but shallow sci-fi.
Her (2013) 75%
Thought-provoking.
Ghost World (2001) 40%
Not sure why this is so highly acclaimed. The lead character has few redeeming qualities.
Finding Neverland (2004) 70%
Sweet. Well-acted.
City of Ember (2008) 55%
Well constructed sets that came at the cost of the execution of the action sequences or adventure plot threads.
National Lampoon’s Vacation (1983) 80%
A great idea and cast. Still funny.
Heaven Knows What (2014) 35%
Feels authentic, but I’ve seen too many movies about NYC street kids to care a whit about these.
Gremlins (1984) 70%
Some smart satire buried within makes this a classic.
Grease (1978) 60%
Infectious, trite.
