Pitch Perfect 2

This has none of the wit & charm of the first film, terribly cliched. The singing is good, but nothing else is. 2/5

Love & Mercy

Dano & Cusack are both Oscar-worthy in this powerhouse of a drama told in non-linear fashion. Just amazing. 4.5/5

Little Accidents

This low-key drama was short on the character & plot development that would have made it great. 3/5

The Baxter

Michael Showalter created a quirky, romantic, and truly witty comedy with this wonderful tale. Well done! 4/5

Zach and Miri Make a Porno

So so so not good - crass in all the wrong ways & a waste of the talent in it. A shame really. 2/5

The Details

This black comedy is incredibly smart & compelling - I was fascinated the entire film. What would *you* do? 4/5

Pitch Perfect

This movie is largely insufferable but the music is good so I tolerated it. Not bad for a popcorn flick. 3/5

Man on a Ledge

A perfectly serviceable heist film with good direction - just utterly predictable & non-believable. Good enough 3/5

Lovely, Still

Landau & Burstyn are magnificent in this beautiful, magical, dark & devastating film. I wept like it was WALL-E. Seriously... watch this film. The performances are off the charts & it's so powerful & emotional. I'm *still* crying. Damn. 5/5
