Prisoners

Two young girls disappear and when the local police seem to be not doing enough the fathers take matters into their on hands. This fast moving drama keeps you on the edge and in suspense till the final shot. Jake Guyenhall and Hugh Jackman both give outstanding performances as they both try to find, in different ways, who is behind the girl's kidnappings. Almost 3 hours feels like 30 minutes. See this movie!  4 bananas.

Instructions Not Included

Sweet story of a baby girl abandoned to its Mexican playboy father and how the two grow together over the first six years as he struggles to become a good father  and a stunt man in L.A.. Definitely a movie worth seeing and the end will blow you away. Sub titles but not a problem.    3 1/2 bananas

The Family

Dark comedy starring Robert NeNiro, Michelle Pfeiffer and Tommy Lee Jones. DeNiro and family have been moved to France in the Witness protection program because certain mob Don has a hit out on the entire family. Mayham follows as the entire family is not used to not  getting their way in everyday affairs. Very funny but the ending is weak. Salty language only adds to the humor. 3 bananas

Riddick

Entertaining Sci-Fi starring Vin Diesel as a criminal left behind on some barren planet with creepy monsters. Seeking his capture for different reasons are two groups who find that they have messed with the wrong guy. Take this movie for what it is, DIESEL FUN!   3 bananas

We Are The Millers

 Small time weed dealer assembles a fake family and travels to Mexico in an RV to pick up what he thinks is a small amount of weed to bring back to the USA to settle a debt with his supplier. Very funny at times but a little long. See it if you've seen everything else. 2 bananas

Getaway

If you like car chases and car crashes with a dumb plot this is for you. Washed up race car driver's wife is kidnapped while the driver is issued instructions via the car navigation system to basically break every speed limit in Bulgaria in pursuit of who knows what. 1 1/2 bananas

Closed Circuit

Highly engrossing intrigue in this British drama that pits prosecution against defense in a truck bombing terrorist plot that kills scores with an unlikely villain lurking behind both sides. Definitely worth seeing! 3 1/2 bananas

If you like a  good bloody gore fest, feast on this movie as a family reunion turns out to be who can survive the longest from a group of knife/axe wielding intruders. 2 bananas

Elysium

Set in the future when the earth has been deserted by all but the scum, with the privileged living in serenity in space, Matt Damon living on earth is exposed to radiation and his only hope to survive is to break into the orbiting space colony for treatment.
