Overly Hollywood-ized, but at least the theme of value of education comes through loud and clear.

22 Jump Street

They actually could repeat the previous script word for word, and I'd think I was watching a brand-new film.

Homeland: Season 3

Yet another series hitting its stride in later seasons (but where do they go next but downhill?).

The Newsroom: Season 2

Much better than the first season so I wish there was going to be a fourth.

Interstellar

Surprisingly gripping 3-hour movie. (ie, pee before going in the theater- there's no good time to take a break...)

Chef

Insipid pablum. A chef who doesn't know Spanish? Plus the zillion other small blunders.

A (more) Indian Harold & Kumar crossed with every zombie film ever made.
