Not without its moments, how could it not, but if you are a Jackie Chan fan your time would be better spent on other films.

My Boss's Daughter 2003
David Zucker just doesn't miss.
The perfect vehicle for Ashton Kutcher's earnest goofiness and a great opportunity for Terence Stamp to flex his straight-faced comedic chops.

It's Always Fair Weather 1955
It's Always Fair Weather shouldn't have been a musical because almost none of the songs or dance numbers work, but the central tension and character dynamics keep you on the edge of your seat. Even though a lot didn't work here and what its going for is obvious...it's still plenty interesting and heartbreaking in its own way.

They Live by Night 1948
What a cruel world we inhabit.
I loved the paradox of They Live by Night with the tough exterior of a hard boiled crime film disguising it's gooey center of sweet romance with fantastic chemistry between Cathy O'Donnell and Farley Granger.
This film is in the running for Weirdest Character Names Ever.

The Adventures of Baron Munchausen 1988
A kids movie you have to be in your 30s to enjoy. The artistry on display is like nothing I’ve ever seen before. I didn’t know you could make a movie like this.
I can’t wait for the day years from now when my wife travels for work and I show this to my kids sooner than I should.

Crazy, Stupid, Love. 2011
Potentially the worst lit movie in cinema history, and it's way longer than it needs to be, and almost all of the time spent with Jonah Bobo's character is lame (no offense Jonah), but this is still very sweet, funny, and charming, and made for a great Valentine's Day watch.

Ready Player One 2018
Starts off fun but ends up growing quite tedious and the actors look like they're struggling to deliver their lines with a straight face. The CGI looked great though.

The Descent 2005
I would rather free climb the tallest mountain in the world than go in a cave like the ones featured here that's 10 feet deep.
Terrific nightmare fuel.

Next Goal Wins 2023
“Armani. This young gentleman here is what I’m talking about. This is passion personified. If I had 11 Armanis, I could conquer the world. But alas, I only have the one.”
Light, feel-good, and hilarious. Fassbender shows why he’s the best in the last act when it elevates from standard comedy to true dramedy.
The true snub of this Oscar season was not nominating Oscar Kightley for best supporting actor, he's out of this world in this movie.
“Dear Lord, way to get our hopes up, jeez. It’s a real rollercoaster ride, this one.”
