The Hangover Part III 2013

You can almost read this movie as the story of a bunch of actors being held hostage and forced at gunpoint to make a sequel to THE HANGOVER. Almost.

Full review coming soon to ScreenCrush.

Writer/director exploring similar themes and concerns over multiple films... Sounds like an auteur to me.

Megamind 2010

★★½

A kids' movie probably solely enjoyed by adults.

Correct. Though I still wish I hadn't seen it.

Fast & Furious 6 2013

★★★ 2

The most disappointing part is also the most emblematic: The Rock NEVER sweats in this movie. He fights and drives and grunts and scowls, but he never sweats -- a stark contrast to the last movie where he never DIDN'T sweat.

And that's really this FAST & FURIOUS in a nutshell: it looks good, but it rarely recaptures the feverish, manic insanity of the last one, which was pretty much *all* feverish, manic insanity. There are a couple good sequences and Luke Evans is maybe the best villain the series has ever had, but it might also be both the stupidest AND the most complex FAST & FURIOUS yet. It's also got WAY too many nighttime car chases, including the one you saw in the trailer with the cars bringing down the plane on what has to be the longest runway on the entire planet.

That said, there's one moment in the tank chase which is just absolute, laugh out loud magic. That moment alone is worth three stars.

The only way this movie could have been more made for me is if the opening credits included a dedication that read: "This movie was made for Adam Kempenaar."
