Passengers

Lost in Spaihts follows non-perishable humans who spoil as a result of dialog almost as over-explanatory as the trailers. 2^nd Lawrence’s Eventual arrival marks Horizontal shift from originality to cliché. 1/3 of a good concept should’ve prompted a studio ‘Pass’ but instead we learn that male entitlement can save mankind.

New York, I Love You

Vastly inferior to Parisian predecessor. Portrays the whitest, most uninteresting New York imaginable. Features a phenomenal performance from first time actor, Shia LaBeouf, and an out-of-place mainstream segment from Brett Ratner. Portman directs better than she acts in this one. Mostly destroyed by ill-conceived attempt to intertwine tonally disparate storylines.

Dead Again

Branagh makes sincere effort to be Hitchcock and fails miserably. Tolerable acting unable to save film from countless failed attempts at suspense. Third act plot twist seems clever compared to rest of film. Saving graces include quirky bit performance by Robin Williams and intensely comedic age makeup on Andy Garcia.
