A cast of ridiculous characters helps steer this into entertaining territory. It's a story that doesn't need much help in being entertaining. Unfortunately it seems to have been made by people who copied other documentary formulas and didn't seem to have an actual grasp on what this film really needed to succeed.

Lily James continues to impress me and shines with likability. The story itself is fine and the production as a whole is fine enough. The picture's title  ends up being a little more memorable than the movie itself.

Rated 6.6/10

First, not as good as the original.   Not surprising or expected.  Second, I can't help but enjoy Russel Brand's brand of humor, as I know it's not for everybody. And who doesn't like Helen Mirren? With these in the lead roles it's impossible to have a bad time. However, the editing is atrocious and the structure gives us no surprises.

Still, if you're looking for a fun, light-hearted comedy, you're likely to enjoy this movie.

Rated 6.1/10

A heist movie that wanted to be macho and clever but only did it in a mediocre way. The film felt a little dated, but still proved to not be a waste of time.

Rated 6.1/10

A pretty fun film with notable performances lead by Blake Lively; but the few twists at the end were lame and made us not really like any of the characters.

I suppose they proved there was more story to tell, but this is the least compelling entry of the series. The Rumpelstiltskin character is funny, at first, but is quite annoying by the end. Plus, none of the other characters are as funny as they have been in past outings. The series was best with 'Shrek 2' because it was able to tell an adventure story with comedy at the forefront. More importantly, the comedy wasn't lame, for the time.
Let's hope this is where it ends...

Ok, not really cutthroat, but the competition is alive!An in-depth look at the 3D printing industry, the people behind the brands and the uncertainty behind the product.  I didn't really care to learn so much about the people. I was more interested in past, present and future of the product. I realize a great documentary often has that person-interest element, but this one didn't need SO much of it.

6.4/10

Laika has great ability when it comes to seamless stop-motion and their stories are clever and quirky. This film doesn't go off-trend but it does lack in comedy where there should be. The characters, especially the trolls named after their previous box contents, are memorable and it's a good addition to the Laika brand.

<h3>6.4/10

A small movie starring a big ego and bruised people.

While the main subject becomes irritating by the end of the film, the idea and concept of the film and the blatant commentary on our modern society makes this documentary worth seeing.

And clearly the concept was interesting enough to spawn a television show.

Two competing surf clubs in Papua New Guinea show us real passion, desire, sportsmanship, and what it takes to compete under external stresses.
It was clear to me the filmmakers had an earnest interest in their subjects and the subjects had an honest presence.
