Wanderlust

Jennifer Anniston and Paul Rudd, NYC married couple, leave the city due to no income and find themselves at a commune in Georgia where just about anything goes. Commedy has some very funny moments but over all falls flat. See it if you've seen everything else. 1 1/2 bananas

The Artist

Delightful two hours of what old time black/white silent movies were all about. Story revolves around Silent picture star who doesn't want to adjust to the new wave of motion pictures,talking; and how he helps propel an unknown actress into stardom and then the favor is the returned.Great acting and dancing. This movie cleaned up at Oscar time--rightfully so. 4 bananas

Act Of Valor

Interesting movie in that it used real life Navy Seals for all the action shots. Movie takes place in the now, as Navy Seals are tasked with hunting down terrorists and extracting hostages. Terrific action scenes give vivid accounts of how the Seals work in their stealth environment. No names could be used as far as the Seals are concerned as many are still on active duty. 3 bananas

Safe House

Non-stop action thriller stars Denzel Washington as the baddie and Ryan Reynolds as the good CIA agent tasked with trying to keep Denzel alive as people of unknown origin are out to kill Washington and retrieve a file that has come into his possession.
Some great car chases and shootem up scenes. See it to be entertained. 2 1/2 bananas

This Means War

Dumb comedy that pits two CIA agents/best friends against each other,vying for Resse Weatherspoon's affection. To bad they don't kill each other off. Miss this one. 1/2 banana

Contraband

Mark Wahlberg stars as the guy who is trying to reform from being a smuggler but is forced to make one last run as his family is held hostage. Pretty good action movie. 2 1/2 bananas

Haywire

Action packed shootem up with smoking hot female type James Bond super spy. This girl kicks ass as she is being setup to fail by her boss. Movie is sometimes confusing as to what is going on but Kirk Douglas and Antonio Banderas help to make it enjoyable. The star of this double dealing smack down gets better looking as the movie progresses if that's possible. Only thing missing is her in a swimsuit. Fun entertainment, 2 1/2 bananas

A Dangerous Method

Jung and Freud match egos and therories in this somewhat true 1900 century story concerning one of Jung's clients who is suffering from a sexual disorder. As both docters psycho-analyse each other, Jung becomes involved with his patient who will eventually will become a world renown Russian psychologist. Switzerland and Austria backgrounds add to the beauty of this intense and sometimes hard to follow drama. 3 bananas

WarHorse

Can a horse win the best acting Oscar? If so, see this movie just to see this beautiful horse. Early 1900 English farm boy raises horse only to see him conscripted by the English army as it prepares for war with Germany. The horse spends time with both armies as well as other stops before the dramatic conclusion. Beautiful photography with two horses that steal the show,make this a prime candidate for Best Movie Oscar. 4 bananas
