MacGruber (2010)

The “Saturday Night Live” sketch isn’t funny, but it is mercifully short, and the hero dies. The movie is 99 minutes, and sadly, Will Forte’s bumbling version of 1980s television icon “MacGyver” lives — for corny sexual innuendo and misguided machismo.

Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans (2009)

Nicolas Cage gives a singular performance as a wonderfully unhinged cop investigating a multiple homicide. His personal life is a high-wire balancing act — Vicodin, cocaine, prostitute girlfriend and gambling on college football.
