Immortals
Admittedly, it’s been a while since I’ve seen Immortals. But I did not like it at all, which is why I haven’t seen it again now that it’s opened.

Beastly
How many critics, do you think, used the title of this film to describe the film itself?
Red Riding Hood
Going in, this movie had a lot stacked against it. I don’t like Catherine Hardwick. I don’t like Amanda Seyfried. I did not expect much.
Never Let Me Go
As much as I like to see science fiction movies outside the expected tropes of the genre I wouldn’t recommend this one.

Sydney White
This wasn’t quite as sweet and cute and charming as I’d hoped. Not sure why. I think some things that were intended to be funny or cute just sort of fell flat.
