This Is the End (2013)

"This Is the End is to Rogen and his crew what Grown-Ups is to Adam Sandler and his buddies: an excuse to get paid to play with his friends, only this one is actually funny."

Star Trek Into Darkness (2013)

""Star Trek Into Darkness" handily breaks the curse of every other "Trek" film being lackluster, with Abrams offering at least as much action, humor, and small character moments as he did the first time around."
