Some long-gestating movie sequels turn out to be great. Just
last year we got both Mad Max: Fury Road and
Creed. In the years between chapters the filmmakers took the
time to get things right and not sully the name of the originals. Others, however,
well, they suck, and they suck hard. One of these is Zoolander
2, which is a tedious, tired, brutally unfunny, single-note disaster
that took 15 years to get here. I wish it’d taken longer, like until after I'm dead.

'Tower Heist' Movie Review
“Tower Heist” is the idiot brother of “Ocean’s Eleven”. While that movie is quick, clever, and fun, “Tower Heist” is empty, plodding, and unencumbered by wit. The movie is an uninspired rehash of caper movie tropes that tries to be quirky only to fail miserably. It is a completely vacuous exercise. You don’t care about any of the characters, the action isn’t particularly interesting, and I spent most of the movie waiting for it to finally be over.
