Arbitrage (score: 6.8)

Arbitrage is pretty tame. The trailer promised Madoff, and what we get here is barely a Don Draper, whose crime wouldn't even make a good Law and Order episode. Is it about the corrupt system? Is it about social class? It tried to be so many things at once and ended up being average on all department.

Resident Evil: Retribution (not scored)

Resident Evil film series pretty much mastered walking that thin line of "so bad it's good" without being just bad. It's unoriginal, often silly, sometime insulting, but most of the time still pretty fun. One thing that bug me is that there aren't any new monsters, only either a bigger version or "more" of what we've already seen before.
