2016: We're Halfway Through

We are halfway through 2016, and I have watched 45 film so far. My goal was 50, but there you go.

Here's how I'm feeling:

Hate It
Maybe boring, maybe poorly-made, but in any case, frustrated and angered me.

Not Very Good
Generally incompetent, yet does not inspire passion either way.

Dirty Grandpa (dir. Dan Mazer)
