The 5th Wave Review
This generic YA adaptation borrows heavily from those before it.

The bar is set so low for January movies that the few sporadic chuckles in this one-joke comedy may be enough.
Brazilian imitation of a Tarantino-esque crime story captures some of the flair, but none of the meat.
Without Kevin Hart and Ice Cube this sequel would quickly run out of gas, though it feels like they’re on cruise control.
For once, Michael Bay attempts to tell a story amongst the action. The results are solid, if never overwhelmingly good.
A fairly scary horror film that has no interest in presenting a coherent plot. If you can keep your expectations to a minimum and are content with a few frights, it’s not too bad.
Will Smith gives a great performance as Dr. Bennet Omalu. Too bad the script doesn’t show the courage of its protagonist.
Michael Moore’s latest isn’t purely political. It’s concerned with the quality of life in America. If you like him, you’ll like it. If not, you won’t see it.
True story about a woman who invented the Miracle Mop starts fast before becoming uneven. It’s still a whole lot of fun, filled with great performances.
Too bad this Poehler/Fey vehicle is more ho-hum than ho-ho-ho.
