The Grand Budapest Hotel- Great.
3 Days to Kill- Stupid.

I managed to make it through to the end, but this is not a good movie.  Hopefully he will rebound on the next one, else his career will go the way of Mike Myer's after that Love Guru bomb.

He still has at least one Star Trek movie to do, and there are rumors of a cameo in Star Wars.
So far, so good.

Celery Ring, I'd like to hear your informed opinion on two movies in particular: Swingers, and Barcelona.

[celedhring]

I like Swingers, Vaughn and Favreau are great in it (it launched their careers and they are pretty much playing themselves as aspiring actors picking up girls in LA's clubs), and Vaughn pretty much plays the quintessential obnoxious-but-likable Vaughn character. But I haven't seen it in 10 years or so, and it might be one of those terribly dated 90s comedies. I recall Vaughn in particular spending half the movie saying "That's money!".

I don't like Barcelona at all, but I'm partial. According to the flick we are all a bunch of left-wing anti-american drones yet we can't resist getting in your skirts/pants.

Is it true?

[Iormlund]

Not the second part.

Also in the flick all the left wing chicks are preppy cute intelligentsia, instead of:

That's why it's cataloged under "Documentaries".

Wasn't you that joined ERC or something like that in order to score with a cute party member, though?

The Lego Movie- ok, a bit disappointing.

It wasn't like that 

I was trying to score with the head of my uni's JERC (ERC's youth org) chapter. Her name was Pilar and she was the hot version of the perroflautas I pictured above. At one point she asked me to help organize a JERC section in my campus (there was none) and that exceeded what I was willing to do to get laid (work!).

Is 'Prince of Persia 2' worth even a half-hearted viewing?

[Ideologue]

Given that it doesn't exist, no.   Unless you mean watching someone play the 1992 video game, in which case it would depend, but also probably no.

Sharknado 2 (2014)

Much bigger and much dumber than the first.  Still there are parts when the film tries to be cute or clever that actually work out (Judd Hirsch as the hero's taxi driver, for instance.)  If you can turn your brain off for an hour and a half it's an enjoyable experience.  If not you'll groan at the many plot holes, unlikely occurrences and things that don't make sense.  On a scale of 1 to 10 I rate it: bad, but not as bad as fan fiction.
