"How To Make Love Like An Englishman" (also called Some Kind of Beautiful) 2015 - 7/10.
A romcom about an English poetry professor (Pierce Brosnan) who marries his student (Jessica Alba) after knocking her up. He later falls for her older step sister (Salma Hayek).

It's a standard story and Pierce Brosnan is showing signs of wear and tear, but Salma Hayek, Jessica Alba and the beautiful setting help maintain interest.

Fort Tilden (2014) 4/10

Watched this based on the wife's recommendation/choice. Just a bland tale of two chicks who want to go the beach & they encounter lots of situations & obstacles along the way. There is a lengthy scene where four woman are topless; ya that's about it really.
 
There are plenty of mediocre stuck in space and everybody has claustrophobia flics out there. It seems to be the mainstay of space movies (except for Space Jam, which has nothing to do with space). Something similar (and in my opinion better) might be Solaris (2002) with George Clooney or the French scifi Dante 01 (2008) which similar to Lockout (2012) with Guy Pearce
 
MI: Rogue Nation 7/10

Does what it says on the box. Cool action scenes, nice girl, bikes.
 
Mission:Impossible(?) 5

4/10

average, even for a mindless action movie.

EDIT: I waited the ENTIRE movie for the climax.

Seriously? I thought it was one of the better MI movies of the series. Also had a really cool female character that stood her own ground. Cool vehicles, cool locations, cool plot devices...not sure what more you could want from an MI movie tbh.

I really gave it a shot, went in with an open mind but honestly it just seemed slow. Kept waiting and waiting for "it" to get going until he was gassed and I realised it was over.

A few chuckles here and there but nope, wasn't worth it.
