Modern Family: Season 6

"Connection Lost" is one of their best episodes ever, proving they have not jumped the shark.

Tim's Vermeer

I'm certainly convinced. Do people really think it makes Vermeer any less of an artist?

Mad Max: Fury Road

Best design of a final battle sequence I've seen in years.

St. Vincent

McCarthy's deadpan retelling of her sorrows is what clinched this one for me.

The Spectacular Now

Excellent leads, trite story.

Ex Machina

And if the genders had been reversed? That would have a vastly different message.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Season 2

This time it was a freakin' ship instead of a plane. But at least MacLachlan was fun to watch.

Trance

Intricately twisted or decidedly nonsensical?

Call the Midwife: Season 4

Well, finally, they add some scenes about prostitution (rampant in the East End in the 50s).

Avengers: Age of Ultron

My movie-going experience: I enjoyed it, but I guess the guy who snored through the final battle sequence sure didn't.

Particle Fever

What a terrifying ending. (Not really - there'd be zero time for terror.)

Like Stars on Earth

Everything in Bollywood is exactly twice as long as it should be: the scenes are, the songs are, the movies are.

Hannah Arendt

Having the ability to deftly step outside your own experience is likely the truest mark of intellect.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1674773/

The Immigrant

Learning Polish should be commended. Too bad it was overshadowed by the banality of the filmmaking.

Taxi to the Dark Side

Distressed that he couldn't find the 3 minutes to fit in President Carter's interview.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0854678/

Starbuck

French films usually irritate me. Not French Canadian films, apparently.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1756750/

The Tale of Princess Kaguya

The moral being that life is to be lived? Or at least not squandered?
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2576852/ (Original title: Kaguyahime no Monogatari)
