Independence Day: Resurgence

I don't know about the rest of the world, but I liked this. It had a more cohesive plot than the original (not hard to do) and the acting was very solid. The effects were really outstanding, and the flow of the film was solid and strong. It's a better film than the first one, and it had enough nostalgia factors that I really liked it. A strong showing, and it certainly opened the way for a third film in the future. 4/5

Every Thing Will Be Fine

Straight up, this was a bad movie. The acting was absolutely leaden. Franco's been coasting through roles lately, but in this he was barely a cardboard cutout. I would fault him except the rest of the cast was as well, so it had to be a directorial decision. The direction was also really off, with a weird score that distracted me throughout. This was not a good film. 2/5

I Do: How to Get Married and Stay Single

This French romcom is smarter & savvier than most from this country - it has real wit. 4/5

Melancholia

Von Trier redeems himself with this beautiful, hypnotic vision that dreamily captures the human condition. The comparisons to "Tree of Life" are endless - I found this vastly superior in every context 3.5/5

Antichrist

This is one of the most atrocious films I've ever seen. It's so beyond bad I can't even give it 1 star. Just awful. 0/5
