Man of Steel: It's a super disappointment
Your senses are assaulted with incredible action sequences. Too bad they didn't put more effort into the story.

This is the End: It's funny in the end
There is a lot to love about This is the End and an equal number of things to make you cringe. The dialogue is not for the prim and proper.

The Internship: This job doesn't pay enough to watch
Dumb. No adjective better describes this movie. The Internship is dumb from the opening nonfunny salvo to the also unfunny happy ending. At times, it moves so slow and is so predictable that, if not for the continual high energy shouting of the main characters, in a warm theater you might find...

The Purge: Spend your money elsewhere
The Purge is set in 2022. We're a happy people. Government in the new version of the United States has solved all of the nation's problems. U.S. unemployment is 1 percent. Crime is nonexistent because once a year, revenge is legal for 12 hours. You can kill whomever you want, steal whatever you...

After Earth: It leaves a bad movie aftertaste
Unlike his father, the 15-year old Jaden Smith doesn't appear to demonstrate much talent and has zero charisma.

Now You See Me: It's barely in the want-to-see-me category
Unless they're a fantasy involving powerful wizards and malevolent minions, movies about magic are rarely magical. Now You See Me connects three magicians and a mentalist. They are contacted and teamed together by a mysterious person who helps them set up what appears to be perfect crimes.

The Battelle Film Club wraps up the spring movie series with the French film The Kid with a Bike . It's an interesting character study courtesy of writer/directors Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne, who did the excellent The Child in 2005.

Epic: Good but not epic
The animated 3D and 2D feature Epic has a great message, some decent sequences and too many lame attempts at humor. But kids will find it riveting, and that's probably the point.

The Hangover Part III: Nothing worse than the hangover from the third day of a binge
After the dreadful Part II , why do a third movie? It has to be for the money. I'm a long way from the business of drug and alcohol consumption. However, I do remember it well enough to know the hangover from day three of an on-going party is much worse than day two.

Fast & Furious 6: Fast, furious and fun
Five sequels. Wow. It certainly is a modern-day record. Even better, a couple — including Fast & Furious 6 — have been pretty good movies. At the very least, they have been guilty pleasures.

The Iceman: Based on true crime and riveting
I see more than 200 movies a year. Ask anyone who sees movies with me or who talks with me frequently about movies -- I never say a movie is too short. Yet, when it was obvious The Iceman went into conclusion mode, I wanted more.
