Birdman Quick Review:

I enjoyed Birdman the other night.
Michael Keaton was funny. The movie seems to cross the line between fantasy and reality, reminding me of a Terry Gilliam film. Although it's mostly a comedic drama as opposed to any kind of Superhero movie.
The performances are good and funny enough to hold your interest.
Also, Keaton's Birdman voice is pretty awesome as well as the telekinesis effects in this.

Great job Keaton!

8/10

Dumb & Dumber To Quick Review

Considering the fact I almost fought someone who was constantly kicking my chair last night...
I enjoyed Dumb and Dumber To!
 It was great to see Jim and Jeff back in character again! They really carried the movie and were as committed as ever. I laughed consistently, however I didn't laugh HARD nearly enough. 
The first Dumb and Dumber there were a number of memorable, hilarious, scenes that stood out. The snowball scene for instance and the Turtle Wax toilet scene. 
        Here, I felt there were only one of two scenes that stood out.
The finale of the movie didn't really felt like a finale.
It's really hard not comparing this movie to the first. It's really obvious how good the first movie was. A lot more care, production and time went into it.
All this being said, I might see it again as a matinee without somebody kicking the back of my seat.

I almost had to fight someone 
during Dumb & Dumber To. 
I'll shake my head at that 
for a long time.

7 out of 10. 
I wanted to give it a higher score :/
