It’s really not that complicated. Here’s a rundown on the Scrappy Bunch’s uber-efficient, cost-effective system for supporting our scrapbooking addiction.

This over-the-top-stupid installment in the Wimpy Kid saga lacks any of the fleeting charm of earlier films. If watching a self-centered, clueless family act wildly irresponsible is your jam, by all means go. Just remember that's 90 minutes of your life you'll never get back. 1 out of 5.

A sweet bit of romantic fluff. It's The Boy in the Bubble meets The Fault in Our Stars, but our young sweethearts are adorable in a wholesome kind of way and their story is charming—as long as you don't think about it too hard. 3.5 out of 5.

Prepare to be entertained: Peter Quill (Chris Pratt) and his motley crew are back to save the galaxy (again) in this lighthearted romp through space and time. The plot is simplistic at best, but when the emotional pay-off comes I bet you'll tear up all the same. This is a fun night out for almost anyone. 4 out of 5.

Heartwarming, sassy, and funny, Gifted has it all: Family drama, a cute kid, tough life questions, even a one-eyed cat. It's a story about intelligent people who don't always make smart choices. Bonus: you're likely to leave the theater smarter than you came. How many movies do that? 4.5 out of 5.

Ahoy, matey! Shiver me timbers and all that. It’s International Talk Like a Pirate Day! Yo, ho, ho, and a bottle of . . . whatever you’re feeling. Talking like a pirate is fun because—unless you actually are a pirate—most of us don’t do it every day. Most days, you probably talk like a . . . whatever it is you are. Have you ever noticed that we all have our own lingo? There are words and phrases we use with some people that others we know wouldn’t “get” at all.
