The Roundup with Jeff Stockton (Season 32 Round 7)


 I didn't have a lot of time this round, so I'm doing a Top 2 and Bottom 2 instead of my usual 3 and 3 for Round 7. Here's The Roundup....

3. N/A

2. Dean
It was better than Alex Conn's other recent political biopic, Repeal and Replace, so Conn and Dean get bonus points for the improvement.

1. The Ballad of Dwight Frye
I found the film to be an inventive and entertaining genre mashup - combining elements of Golden Age of Hollywood, expressionist horror, and even rock and roll. 

3. N/A

2. Chicka Chicka Boom Boom
I guess I just didn't get this one. I'm not familiar with the picture book - which doesn't appear to really have a story based the little bit of research I did. The character designs - letters - didn't really grab me either (which seemed to be the case with general audiences as well).

1. Profits
All three films lost a big chunk of cash this round - a total loss of $132 million. So it is obvious what takes the cake as the bottom 3 for this round.
