The Kingdom of Dreams and Madness (2013) 92% EDIT “If you think a documentary about Studio Ghibli might appeal to you, stop wasting your time with me and start streaming The Kingdom of Dreams and Madness.” – The Mary Sue Aug 2, 2017 Full Review She's Beautiful When She's Angry (2014) 90% EDIT “Directed, produced, and shot exclusively by women, She's Beautiful When She's Angry tells the story of the American feminist movement.” – The Mary Sue Aug 2, 2017 Full Review Kidnapping Mr. Heineken (2015) 19% EDIT “It's obviously possible to make compelling movies about true crime committed by unsympathetic people, but this sure isn't one of them.” – The Mary Sue Aug 2, 2017 Full Review A Million Ways to Die in the West (2014) 33% EDIT “A Million Ways to Die's endless parade of toots undermines its actors. The writing also manages to find less-scatological ways to disrespect women and minorities.” – The Mary Sue Aug 2, 2017 Full Review A Brony Tale (2014) 80% EDIT “A Brony Tale educated me, but I can't help but feel the history I learned was a little selective.” – The Mary Sue Aug 2, 2017 Full Review Furious 7 (2015) 81% EDIT “Furious 7, more so even than its Furious Forefathers, is about people who love each other un-self-consciously (and the way they express said love with their cars).” – The Mary Sue Aug 2, 2017 Full Review Blackhat (2015) 33% EDIT “I'm not saying that this is a good film, just that it has value beyond its inglorious January release.” – The Mary Sue Aug 2, 2017 Full Review What If (2013) 73% EDIT “I don't think self-respecting audiences are supposed to believe in soul mates anymore. What If made me want to.” – The Mary Sue Aug 2, 2017 Full Review The Theory of Everything (2014) 81% EDIT “The Theory of Everything charts the universes inside of us: inscrutable, expanding, human.” – The Mary Sue Aug 2, 2017 Full Review Trainwreck (2015) 84% EDIT “Trainwreck's faults as a movie are overlookable, and its faults as a piece of feminist media are more the result of the burden of representation than anything else.” – The Mary Sue Aug 2, 2017 Full Review Pitch Perfect 2 (2015) 66% EDIT “[Pitch Perfect 2] is bigger than Pitch Perfect in every way: more extravagant, more important, and definitely more flawed.” – The Mary Sue Aug 1, 2017 Full Review Jem and the Holograms (2015) 22% 3/5 EDIT “Jem and the Holograms is a satisfyingly goofy, girl-power band movie that's totally unembarrassed by its own ridiculousness.” – The Mary Sue Aug 1, 2017 Full Review In the Heart of the Sea (2015) 42% 2.5/5 EDIT “I was pretty satisfied by the movie. Unfortunately, most theater-goers will probably be left wanting more.” – The Mary Sue Aug 1, 2017 Full Review Alien Abduction (2014) 29% EDIT “The events that inspired the movie are more believable than the essential conceit of found footage. It sacrifices the story to constantly insist otherwise.” – The Mary Sue Aug 1, 2017 Full Review Fifty Shades of Grey (2015) 25% EDIT “Fifty Shades of Grey is so much smarter than its source material, but smarter in this case doesn't mean better. Not where it counts, at least.” – The Mary Sue Aug 1, 2017 Full Review Airplane vs Volcano (2014) EDIT “It's saying a lot about my hormones that a movie with the tag line "FLY LIKE HELL" brought a tear to my eye, but I'll admit I was invested and more impressed with the acting than I have been by other Asylum offerings.” – The Mary Sue Aug 1, 2017 Full Review Kumiko, the Treasure Hunter (2014) 88% EDIT “I think the less you know going into this movie the better, so if you're a die-hard fan of Rinko Kikuchi or a film buff with a vested interest in how pop culture influences modern folklore, put yourself on Kumiko media blackout and just go see it already.” – The Mary Sue Aug 1, 2017 Full Review The Visit (2015) 68% 4.5/5 EDIT “The Visit is somehow not only a good movie; it's an exceptional one that stands out from similar stories for its emotional authenticity and the respect it has for its characters.” – The Mary Sue Aug 1, 2017 Full Review Independence Day: Resurgence (2016) 28% 2/5 EDIT “There's a good movie buried somewhere in Independence Day: Resurgence, amidst the clunky exposition and embarrassing callbacks to the first film and disheartening one-liners delivered by Liam Hemsworth.” – The Mary Sue Jun 30, 2016 Full Review
