The “Thumbs Up” Group
Swiss Army Man 
(4 / 5) REVIEW
The Infiltrator (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.Read More →
Hot Take: I guess you need more than a little Hart and a big Johnson, after all. A funnier script might have helped.
Potential. Central Intelligence had a ton of it. Dwayne Johnson is a bonafide star and has proven he can carry action movies with both might and charm and has also had a few glimpses of a comedic presence.

Free State of Jones doesn’t have much of a summer feel but it does have Matthew McConaughey! During a period of the year where movies are typically at their most vapid, Free State of Jones will be a refreshing change of pace. Four-time Oscar nominee Gary Ross writes and directs.Read More →

Anticipation (Before Trailer): 70/100
Anticipation (After Trailer): 85/100
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Kevin Hart in a buddy comedy feels like the perfect fit. It’s unsurprising Central Intelligence is getting a summer release considering the pairing. It’s hard to imagine a miss here.
