"The Conjuring" was so well-received with critics and audiences that is sparked an entire franchise.

"Spring Breakers" is campy with a purpose that gets lost pretty quickly into the movie. But it's still a fun, absurd commentary on the culture at the time. The movie didn't come out that long ago, but it's been long enough that it's quite fascinating to see how much things have changed.

This movie is dull, from the dialogue to the performances to its cinematography, which makes an episode of "The X-Files" look bright and colorful. But it stars Nicolas Cage, who at least tries to bring some excitement to the movie.
