The Roundup with Jeff Stockton (Season 33 Round 6)

 
Despite one big ding against the box office, the other two films helped pick up the slack. Here is The Roundup....

3. Cleveland
There were a lot of good moments in Cleveland, even if it didn't work at the box office. I liked the characters (even if there were too many of them) and found some of the crime moments inventive.

2. Marvel Universe
The Marvel Universe is on a roll. As the Box Office Breakdown pointed out, the franchise has now outgrossed DC two seasons in a row.

1. The Hammer of Thor: The Frost War
I appreciate how wholly different Roy Horne's Thor films are to anything Disney would ever release. They are moody and epic and steeped in Norse mythology - but still with the action of a proper blockbuster.



3. N/A

2. Cleveland
While plenty in Cleveland did work, it felt like 3 or 4 movies in one with all the characters and subplots involved. It was too much for one movie - which I'm sure didn't help with the budget/box office.

1. The Thin Man
This Thin Man remake just didn't feel like it brought anything new that the original didn't. And for a film featuring the Comedy as a genre, there was a definite lack of laughs or even chuckle-worthy moments.
