All is Lost

Robert Redford stars in this almost completely silent movie. Sailing alone in the Indian Ocean his boat is rammed by a cargo container. The movie centers around his survival as the boat continues to sink due to bad weather and his stupidity. Movie was sunk from the beginning. 1 1/2 bananas

Dallas Buyers Club

A macho, cocaine snorting, homophobic rodeo bull rider finds that he has HIV and 30 days to live with no hope of medical help. He resorts to smuggling in drugs not approved by the FDA and sets up a corporation that you join as a member thus getting around having to pay for drugs. This true story is one not to miss as Matthew McConaghy not only gives maybe the best performance of the year, he also loses 70+ pounds to fill the role. 30 days became 7+ years before his battle ended not only with AIDS but the FDA. A must see movie! 4 bananas

Enders Game
