Movie and music from the Spring of 2014, with patent-pending two-word reviews:
MOVIES
Captain America: The Winter Solider – headier follow-up
Draft Day – satisfying fantasy
Man of Steel – surprisingly tame
The Heat – more please
Neighbors – premise delivers
White House Down – suspect motivations
For A Good Time Call… – mostly fun
Godzilla – worthy reboot
X-Men: Days of Future Past – series highlight
Edge of Tomorrow – repeatedly entertaining
Pacific Rim – big fun
2 Guns – too stupid
The Purge – moronic premise
Tomorrow, When The War Began – redo dawn
Runner Runner – dumber dumber
The World’s End – fun decline
MUSIC
Jack White: Lazaretto – familiar ground
Fu Manchu: Gigantoid – gigantic success
M83: Oblivion soundtrack – exceeds movie
