Zero Dark Thirty

Supposedly true account of how Osama Bin Ladin was tracked down by the CIA 10 years after 9/11. The CIA after all but giving up on Bin Ladin; Jessica Chastain a low level CIA employee refuses to give up and continues to follow one dead end after another until she comes across something that has the potential to unearth Bin Ladin. 2 1/2 hours of terrific intrigue. 4 bananas

Gangster Squad

Pretty good cast makes a pretty bad movie. Special L.A. police unit is formed to take down mob hoodlum(Mickey Cohen) who wants to control all illegal activity west of Chicago. 1 1/2 bananas
