Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2

There was a 12-minute rant about 3/4 of the way through the film that I enjoyed.

Yeah, that was the good part of the movie.

Pawn Sacrifice

The movie experience was like watching people playing chess--heavily-made-up people playing chess.

Tobey Maguire was fine, I guess (in a very Tobey Maguirey kinda way), but who I really would have loved seeing tackle this role: Andrew Garfield.

Pan

Why was the character of Tiger Lily whitewashed, how is it Captain Hook is more like Indiana Jones, and why the HECK are the pirates singing Nirvana & The Ramones?!?

I sat through this thing thinking of the far superior prequel stories written by Dave Barry & Ridley Pearson.

Grandma

I went into this movie knowing absolutely nothing--only that it stars Lily Tomlin, and I like Lily Tomlin (mind you, back in the day, this strategy burned me multiple times, when applied toward Whoopi Goldberg).

Fortunately, my idiotic strategy was successful this time, and I saw a really great, funny movie.

Singh is Bliing

Okay, as usual, I put no research into the movie I saw, just blindly (and I think reasonably) assuming it was a sequel to the 2008 movie which I also saw, "Singh is Kinng."

I'm going to say the "bliing" was the slapstick, which was great & all over the place, and for the next non-sequel let's-take-advantage title, perhaps I'll suggest "Singh is Ka-ching."

Sicario

My favorite part of this movie was when Emily Blunt punched Josh Brolin in the face.

The only thing that could make this movie better was if she had punched him in the face twice.

The Martian

Well, of course there is no suspense involved in this movie: I mean, only an idiot would think they are going to let Matt Damon die on Mars.

I actually liked this movie a whole lot more than I thought I would--unlike the prequel they made, where I really didn't care if Sandra Bullock stayed spaced out.

Black Mass

This was pretty rough to sit through: a long string of  violent crimes, plus Johnny Depp's makeup.

It would have been nice to have a palate cleanser at the end, like a Jackie-Chan-style reel of hilarious outtakes.

The Intern

What we have here, essentially, is two pretty big stars playing in a really bland made-for-television movie.

One you may actually enjoy, after about 40 minutes is cut away for commercials, and providing you fall asleep well before the ending.
