Emily in Paris (2020)
A young American woman from the Midwest is hired by a marketing firm in Paris to provide them with an American perspective on things.
Deliberately cliche-ridden, slightly tongue-in-cheek comedy series is quick-paced and entertaining, mostly as a suitable vehicle for its star, Lily Collins.

Priest (2011)
A priest disobeys church law to track down the vampires who kidnapped his niece.
If you look past the rather cliched, unoriginal plot, you may enjoy this horror-science fiction-Western action thriller for its brilliant style and some breathtaking visuals.
Maltin**1/2: "Director and star of LEGION reunite for an equally absurd but more exciting fantasy-thriller...Violent action-adventure borrows imagery and plot elements from THE SEARCHERS and other classic Westerns, and is all the more enjoyable as a guilty pleasure for not slipping into self-conscious campiness."

Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile (2019)
A chronicle of the crimes of Ted Bundy from the perspective of Liz, his longtime girlfriend, who refused to believe the truth about him for years.
Zac Efron gives a convincing portrayal of the serial killer Ted Bundy - as the charismatic, intelligent guy he appeared as to the public and as seen by his girlfriend; beyond this performance, however, the movie misses to give any depth or insight into the killer's character and the crimes, but rather ticks off the events as they happened.

Abduction (2011)
A young man realizes he's not his parents' son, and after they are attacked and murdered, he finds himself amidst a mysterious conspiracy.
Mediocre spy thriller with some Bourne Identity allusions speeds along with run-of-the-mill action sequences and some remarkably wooden performances.
Maltin**: "Teenage BOURNE IDENTITY rip-off gives TWILIGHT star Lautner a chance to show off his action, if not acting...Nothing memorable here, but the pace is intense and the movie doesn't try to be more than a filler for Lautner fans."

Okja (2017)
A young girl risks everything to prevent a powerful, multinational company from kidnapping her best friend - a fascinating beast named Okja.
Likable, idiosyncratic tale with ecological and political overtones is imaginative and mischievous and somehow manages the balance bewtwenn silliness and seriousness.

Mirror Mirror (2012)
An evil queen steals control of a kingdom and an exiled princess enlists the help of seven resourceful rebels to win back her birthright.
Quite entertaining and humorous variation on the Snow White fairy tale; the two female leads and the dwarves are a perfect cast.
Maltin**: "A sad excuse for a fairy tale, lacking in whimsy, magic, and heart. The dwarves are without question the best part of the film. This might have worked better as a TV movie and could still serve as entertainment at a little girls' sleepover."
