I Love You Phillip Morris (2009)



A cop turns con man once he comes out of the closet. Once imprisoned, he meets the second love of his life, whom he'll stop at nothing to be with.

Offkilter romantic tragicomedy has a few hilarious moments and a typically outrageously over-the-top Jim Carrey performance, but as whole it's more unnerving than entertaining.

Maltin***: "Continuously surprising blend of comedy and drama features what is arguably Carrey's all-time best performance."

Ben-Hur (2016)



Judah Ben-Hur, a prince falsely accused of treason by his adopted brother, an officer in the Roman army, returns to his homeland after years at sea to seek revenge, but finds redemption.

Unoriginal and superfluous adaptation of the popular novel has some production value and the chariot race is not bad, but the story hardly sparks any interest in the matter.

Focus (2015)



In the midst of a veteran con man latest scheme, a woman from his past - now an accomplished femme fatale - shows up and throws his plans for a loop.

Despite slick production, a good cast and a plot full of twists and turns, the movie fails to spark any interest, and the two leads create less charm than one would expect.
