Sin City: A Dame to Kill For

This sequel was long on style but short on substance - the story I loved from the first was lost. 3/5

The Giver

This is one in a line of similarly themed movies of late, but this might be the best version of this story I've seen. 4/5

Hal Sparks: Charmageddon

Godzilla

OH MY GOD SO GOOD. The people who panned this have no clue why things are scary, and this was definitely scary. Easily one of the best action movies I've seen in recent history, no quick edits, no jump shots, relentless pace. AWESOME. 5/5

This film had a good premise, albeit nothing new, but would have been so much better if they kept the alternate end. 3/5
