Grab your guns and kiss your sister, its time for a coked up romp through the 90s. The epitome of “it’s so bad it’s good”, Face/Off will grab you by the ass without consent and never let go. So get ready for the big ride baby. Chiclets optional. 7.5/10 — Anthony

A totally insane, and borderline nonsensical, thrill ride that’s so 90s, and so John Woo, it hurts—in the best possible way. 8/10 — Al

The Wandering Earth is completely bonkers and a bit too all over the place however it makes up for some of these issues with intermittent moments of intense emotion and some bizarre action sequences. 6/10— Anthony

After the initial disorienting shock of watching something with foreign sensibilities, you settle in to a very enjoyable, if totally bonkers, action flick that could have been made anywhere. 7/10 — Al

Guilty pleasure soundtrack including Lit and Creed? Check. Intense action sequences? Check. Sci-Fi Daddy issue? Hella-check? Titan A.E. is a surprisingly mature (although fairly cookie cutter) Sci-Fi action adventure, with an even more surprising amount of genocide for an animated movie rated PG. 7/10 — Anthony

This was… better than I feared? I was concerned the nostalgia would drive my enjoyment but it’s actually solid for a kids movie; very of its time. 7.5/10 — Al

Great voice acting, soundtrack, and visuals. Little lacking on the world building and character building. Overall a fun, and at times serious, animated movie with a satisfying ending. Bill Pullman is a veteran at defeating genocidal aliens. Shame it wasn't released on the 4th of July. 7.5/10 —Dominick

A raw emotional comedy kicking the Vince Gilligan theory into high gear, this flick is pure heart and pure Apatow. 7/10 — Anthony

A slow, inconsistent start gives way to a heartfelt—if surprisingly unpolished for Appatow—second half. A less extreme, in the good and bad, version of Silver Linings Playbook. 6.5/10 — Al

This far too often maligned final installment to the Christopher Nolan Batman trilogy leans heavier into its comicbook origins for the run of its story while diving deeper into the characters and their emotional states than it’s more grounded predecessors. 9/10 — Anthony

(sigh).... fuck I forgot how long this movie is. Somehow, simultaneously nothing happens and entirely too much happens across most of this movie. Great action set pieces don't outweigh the bloated and disjointed plot . 5.5/10 — Al

Christian Bale gives his best performance while tackling Tom Hardy as bane. 8/10 — Gary

Idiocracy has aged incredibly well for a fart joke from 2006. It unfortunately feels more like a history lesson than a satire. 5/10 — Anthony

More clever than funny, this satire is very of its time, and a perfect cautionary tale of this time—though it may be too late for us now. 6.5/10— Al

This entirely too sweaty and entirely too lacking in diversity cosmic rock opera is train-wreck-style compelling, and a true product of its time. So weird(ing) it’s... ok-adjacent 5/10 — Anthony
A mess of a movie with a framework of something really intriguing. A true roller coaster. 6/10 — Al

A witty hi-jinx infused heist flick pulled off by lovably simple characters, each with their own unique schtick. Logan Lucky has chemistry by the truck load. 7/10 — Anthony

A slow first half gives way to a fun, fast, frenetic second half. 6.5/10 — Al

Ex Machina is part of the Alex Garland god complex anthology. Told through the lens of 4 characters in 4 perfect performances, The story unfolds as a heart pounding and unnervingly steady crescendo that has me hooked from beginning to end. 9/10 — Anthony

A slow burn thriller about life and humanity and what actually defines those concepts, in a near future that feels all to real and present a borderline masterpiece in just over 90 minutes. 9/10 — Al

Ex Machina is a sexy robot, dark and provocative, she’ll bat her pretty eyes until you’re falling in love. She looks great and her red lips utter a clear warning. But, at the end of the night she’s still just a robot, and that left me locked in a basement to die, with blue balls and questions. 6.5/10— Caleb

A stylish musical bolstered by highly thematic renditions of The Beatles greatest hits following a group of interconnected young-adult-lost-souls exploring the meaning of self, love, and purpose, as they navigate through distressingly uncertain times. 8/10 — Anthony

A slightly cheesy/corny, but earnest and heartfelt, look at life, love, and growing up in the 60’s, set to the music of The Beatles. 7.5/10 — Al
