Rotten Tomatoes Freshness: 74%

Critic Consensus: “While the jolts and thrills are undeniably subject to the diminishing returns that plague most horror sequels, Paranormal Activity 3 is a surprisingly spine-tingling treat”

RT Freshness: 23%

Critic Consensus: “It plays admirably fast and loose with Alexandre Dumas’ classic tale, but in every other respect, The Three Musketeers offers nothing to recommend — or to set it apart from the many other film adaptations”

The Mighty Macs

Starring: Carla Gugino, David Boreanaz, Ellen Burstyn, Marley Shelton

Plot: The true story of the 1971-72 Immaculata College women’s basketball team, who went from completely unknown to one of the winningest team’s in the sport.

RT Freshness: 46%

Critic Consensus: “Its heart is obviously in the right place, but The Mighty Macs is too blandly formulaic to transcend the genre’s many clichés”

Johnny English Reborn

Directed by: Oliver Parker

Plot: Inept British secret agent Johnny English is called back into action to stop an assassination plot against the Chinese premier.

RT Freshness: 38%

Critic Consensus: “Arguably a marginal improvement on its mostly-forgotten predecessor, Johnny English Reborn nonetheless remains mired in broad, tired spy spoofing that wastes Rowan Atkinson’s once considerable comedic talent”
