Pitch Perfect 2 Review
Pitch Perfect 2 is an entertaining film in the tradition of other unnecessary comedy sequels. A shadow of its predecessor that reaches for emotional payoffs that are unearned and cheap laughs that are still funny.
Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb Review
It won't blow your mind or anything, but Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb is an entertaining enough 97 minute lark.

Pitch Perfect Review
Pitch Perfect is a pure fun film. It aspires to nothing more than putting a smile on your face, making you laugh and getting your toes tapping. On all three counts it’s a total success. The film is basically an unholy mix of Bring It On, Glee and Mean Girls; taking the best elements of all three, shaking them all up and spitting out one of the most simply entertaining films of the year
