Puccini for Beginners is bad but not notably bad. It’s not interesting enough for that. It’s just another failed romantic comedy. How bland. 4.6/10

Simply put, Addicted to Fresno isn’t funny enough to get away with how ultimately pointless the story is nor how unlikable its characters are. 4.5/10
Shot by such a bland filmmaker as Chris Columbus, the personality and edge necessary to make Rent work and make it connect with disaffected young people is totally lost. 4.7/10
I’m reminded of that quote, “never half-ass two things, full-ass one thing.” Most genre-blending movies, including today’s movie, So Close, fall into the first category of half-assing two things. 4.9/10
I found the lead characters and their politics to be largely disagreeable in Itty Bitty Titty Committee. I did not find the film to be particularly funny nor romantic so as a romantic comedy, it’s 0 for 2. 4.6/10
The Killer Nun is very much a style over substance film. Too bad it’s not particularly stylish. 4.1/10
Despite Bandaged being 88 minutes of moving pictures and something resembling a narrative, I finished watching and my first thought was that this hardly even counts as a film. 3.6/10
My favourite sub-sub-genre of lesbian film is 70’s lesbian vampire films. Vampyres is a 70’s lesbian vampire film and it sucks! I’m so upset. 4.2/10
The Four-Faced Liar mostly fails because it fails to walk that fine line of dramedy. It’s too quirky to be truly dramatic but far too depressing to be a comedy. 3.8/10
Sure, Breaking the Girls has more lady kissing in it than most but overall, it’s like the literally bazillion other mediocre thrillers that make the same mistake of thinking more misdirects equals a better movie. 4.6/10
