The “Thumbs Up” Group

Swiss Army Man 4 out of 5 stars (4 / 5) REVIEW
The Infiltrator 4 out of 5 stars (4 / 5) REVIEW
Sometimes movies can be insanely unique which adds to their fabulousness, sometimes they can overcome being completely generic and still be wonderful. Both Swiss Army Man and The Infiltrator are aided by excellent casting and stellar performances.

The Shallows 3.5 out of 5 stars (3.5 / 5) REVIEW
The Lobster 3.5 out of 5 stars (3.5 / 5) REVIEW
Finding Dory 3.5 out of 5 stars (3.5 / 5) REVIEW
The BFG 3.5 out of 5 stars (3.5 / 5) REVIEW
Our Kind of Traitor 3.5 out of 5 stars (3.5 / 5) REVIEW
Free State of Jones 3.5 out of 5 stars (3.5 / 5) REVIEW
While there weren’t any 4 1/2 or 5 star movies in the last 25, there were a number of very good movies that didn’t quite achieve greatness. Notice only one sequel though… we’ll get to those, soon enough.

Mr. Right 3 out of 5 stars (3 / 5) REVIEW
The cheese stands alone when it’s the right kind of cheese.

The “Thumbs Eh” Group

Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates 2.5 out of 5 stars (2.5 / 5) REVIEW
The Secret Life of Pets 2.5 out of 5 stars (2.5 / 5) REVIEW
The only two things these movies have in common are their release date and ridiculously long titles. Other than that, you’re looking at two very different movies that were just okay.

The “Thumbs Down” Group

The Legend of Tarzan 2 out of 5 stars (2 / 5) REVIEW
The Confirmation 2 out of 5 stars (2 / 5) REVIEW
Now You See Me 2 2 out of 5 stars (2 / 5) REVIEW
Central Intelligence 2 out of 5 stars (2 / 5) REVIEW
Clown 2 out of 5 stars (2 / 5) REVIEW
Warcraft 2 out of 5 stars (2 / 5) REVIEW
The Conjuring 2 2 out of 5 stars (2 / 5) REVIEW
Alice Through the Looking Glass 2 out of 5 stars (2 / 5) REVIEW
The Neon Demon 2 out of 5 stars (2 / 5) REVIEW
These movies were just below average. On one hand, they all have a reason to watch but leave something to be desired. Two more sequels, a reboot and a video game conversion make this group which is typical when get to the “Thumbs Down” section.

400 Days 1.5 out of 5 stars (1.5 / 5) REVIEW
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows 1.5 out of 5 stars (1.5 / 5) REVIEW
The Purge: Election Year 1.5 out of 5 stars (1.5 / 5) REVIEW
Independence Day: Resurgence 1.5 out of 5 stars (1.5 / 5) REVIEW
Dane Cook. Unnecessary. Unnecessary. Unnecessary. Oh and Dane Cook is synonymous with unnecessary.

Get A Job 1 out of 5 stars (1 / 5) REVIEW
When a movie sits on the shelf for 4 years and then is quietly released, beware!
