Elysium Review
Sure "Elysium" is a mashup of tropes, but with great acting, a high production value and good editing, it’s fun to watch.

An amusing but lightweight documentary that attempts to explain the origin and demise of the Catskills Mountains as the center of the universe for Jewish humor.
Beautifully-crafted sci-fi entry in the "found footage" genre is both as wondrous and monotonous as deep space travel.
"2 Guns" is better than a movie called “2 Guns” should be.
Not since 1989’s "Crimes and Misdemeanors" has Woody Allen been operating at this high a level. Oscar awaits.
This second attempt to bring the "X-Men" character to a solo franchise moves along at a brisk clip but never finds its footing as either a brooding return to graphic novel form or a rousing actioner.
Growing up means drinking less (apparently).
This raunchy female-aimed sex comedy is like casual sex: if you don’t take it too seriously, you just might enjoy it.
This dead cop yarn is derivative so many much better films, you might as well stay in and watch those.
Kristen Wiig can’t save this atrocious mess. It’s a sitcom that wouldn’t make it through the first season.
