Annie remake with Jamie Foxx.

Gotta say I really enjoyed it.

Olivia Colman crushes it as well. Slow start, but very fun movie.

Dogman

Decent family movie that sticks close to the book series. Lacks the heart of Flow or Wild Robot though.

A clever movie ruined by the presence of Tim Allen.

I think he's perfectly cast (as is pretty much everyone in the movie)

I could never hate Tim Allen - I grew up on Home Improvement and The Santa Clause.

Alien is the best and I deserved to beat Trag in the movie tourney. He was real bitch about the whole thing, if I recall.
