2/5
EDIT
“Just when the story gets interesting -- I am talking The Godfather-soap opera interesting -- it gets blown away.” –

The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (2015)
67%
3.5/5
EDIT
“Just like the picturesque little Jaipur hotel at the centre of the story, this second best instalment is still very much worth a visit.” –

Sex Tape (2014)

1.5/5
EDIT
“Sex Tape underperforms even worse than Jay himself -- it is unfunny, predictable and very strenuous.” –

The Wedding Ringer (2015)
29%
2/5
EDIT
“This group of utterly unfunny, un-pretty groomsmen-weirdos is truly a sight to exorcise out of your mind immediately.” –

Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb (2014)
48%
3/5
EDIT
“Secret Of The Tomb -- not as good as the first movie, but not as bad as the second one either -- attempts to recapture the purposefulness of the original movie, where there was a sense of a quest.” –

Tammy (2014)
24%
2.5/5
EDIT
“Presumably to expand her (McCarthy's) repertoire, there is a deliberate attempt to cut down her sweat-slob persona and soften those rough edges to test new ground here that is akin to inventing a humanitarian nuclear bomb.” –

Shut In (2016)
5%
2.5/5
EDIT
“Alas, when you eventually do know the cause of her fears, Shut In loses its supernatural grip on you and becomes predictable.” –

“Who could imagine an all-out bloody massacre to be this hilarious?” –

The Wailing (2016)
99%
EDIT
“The ensuing suspense and the enveloping paranoia and spookiness -- stretched out by the exhaustive length of the film here -- mean that this film really sucks you in. Even better, there is a terrifically gripping payoff right at the end.” –

The Conjuring 2 (2016)
80%
3.5/5
EDIT
“James Wan (also helming the upcoming Aquaman) is such an able horror master that this is still a scare flick notches above the usual fare.” –

The Tag-Along (2015)
3.5/5
EDIT
“The Tag-Along scores over the average chiller. It is not slack in packaging a back-story with quiet, hidden moments of personal trouble that heighten the enveloping tension.” –

Daddy's Home (2015)
30%
2.5/5
EDIT
“You wait for a hint of Ferrell wickedness or a sign of potent Wahlberg meanness to really zing us, but get a high-school comedy which has been neutered to a harmless, toothless PG13 rating.” –

Kidnapping Mr. Heineken (2015)
19%
2/5
EDIT
“Hopkins in captivity is always fascinating. He is not Hannibal Lecter-dangerous here, but as a stubborn captive in chains, he is still a defanged alpha male worth watching. If only we were allowed to see more of him.” –

EDIT
“'Even I don't trust my judgment anymore,' [Freeman] warns in one of the movie's trash heap of unintentionally funny lines.” –
