    One from the Heart

    ★★★

    Probably the best looking and most visually inventive bad movie ever made. The dream ballet in the middle is astonishing, but Frederic Forrest is a lead weight on this movie. Both the character and performance are a black hole of charisma. Perhaps Coppola can recut this one more time and remove him from the movie altogether. Raul Julia and Terri Garr are sublime.

    Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues

    ★★

    A disappointing waste of top shelf comedic talent. It's the apex of "improvised" comedy. Plot and character both fall by the wayside to make for a constant barrage of gags, and sadly few of them land.
