Kick

Sad psychiatrist meets adrenaline junkie.

What happens next has all the acting subtlety of a Disneyland stage show.

Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania

A dance scene on a rock wall, a 3-D piñata, and even a hot li'l love scene--I'm all in!

With all the modern cinematic advances, though, you'd think they'd be able to do something about chest-shaving bumps.

Life Itself

A great movie about a great (and real) movie reviewer, this film was mesmerizing from the first moments to the very last.

Made me want to catch up with many of the movies he loved, and read his writings of the ones he hated.

Bobby Jasoos

Based on the movie previews indicating this was a screwball detective comedy, I was really looking forward to this movie.  

That stuff was all fun--fun enough that I would be happy to see more of Bobby--but all the tear-jerking family drama & too-serious crime connection (among other things) made me think the filmmakers forgot this was ever supposed to be comedic.

Holiday: A Soldier is Never Off Duty

The over-the-top culminating fight scene nearly made me wish I hadn't sat through the rest of the movie.

And vice-versa, probably.

When the characters here talk about "French movies," I think they mean porn.

I wonder if, in French porn, everyone smokes.

Palo Alto

I enjoy small, independent films just fine, but if it's thought-provoking exploration of a theme you want, you would be better off viewing The Amazing Spider-Man 2.

Also, I think a better name for this movie would probably have been "Daly City."
