Clerks III

Clerks III; A personal film meant to appeal solely to the filmmaker and those who have nostalgia for the original film and its characters. Hard to imagine this offering anything of interest for those unfamiliar with the View Askewniverse. Even still, not all that entertaining; D+

Haunted Mansion

Haunted Mansion; Captures essence of ride’s tone, w/equal parts ghostly and comedy. Cast is well chosen & nods to theme park aspects are highlights. Suffers from a jumbled third act and what seems to be edits to character moments and scenes. Wish it were better but still fun; B

Zombieland: Double Tap

Zombieland: Double Tap; Exactly what you’d expect from some fun, solid actors playing around in the zombie genre. Gory, gruesome kills and silly banter make it an enjoyable romp, though none too surprising or overly original. New cast additions are fun and mix in well; B+

The LEGO Batman Movie

The Lego Batman Movie; Sends up company properties w/love & affection but has more heart than humour surprisingly. Cast to best effect; B+
