You're Next

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. Good special effects but weak plot. Jodie Foster is the evil  controler of access to the space station.  2 bananas

2 Guns

Screwball action comedy starring Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg as two undercover agents from different depts who stumble upon and steal a cache of CIA money. The CIA isn't pleased as well as a certain Mexican Drug lord, both of which want the money and our heros's hide. Fun but confusing at first. 2 1/2 bananas

The Lone Ranger

Fabulous, Superb, Funny, a Blast. What a terrific movie. You know it is good when a horse steals the spot light from Johnnie Depp. Depp stars as an aged Tonto relating back to a youngster how The Lone Ranger was created. Armie Hammer, as the Long Ranger pairs up nicely with Depp to make this action packed comedy a real treat. Great photography of the west add to this don't miss movie. I loved it. Definitely the most enjoyable movie to date of 2013. 4 bananas

The Purge

They should have purged this movie from the theaters. Once a year in the future everyone is allowed to kill off anyone they desire to, thus everyone locks themselves down for 12 hours. Well the most fortified house lets in a complete stranger during the excersie with predictable results. Miss this one. 1/2 banana

World World Z

Brad Pitt directed and stars in this zombie extravaganza. A worldwide plague of unknown origins has turned most of the population into zombies. Pitt who is retired from the U.N. World Health Organization as is top inspector is called back to duty to track and find a cure. Good action scenes broken up by to much of Pitt's family life. Some truely non-believable events take place but overall a fun 2 hour movie. 2 1/2 bananas

Fast & Furious 6

Vin Diesel assembles his gang, who are scattered around the world evading U.S. Justice, to help The Rock(a U.S. Agent) bring down a gang that is stealing components to build a nuclear bomb. To entice Vin and his buddies, The Rock shows proof that Vin's old , supposedly dead, girlfriend is still alive and working with the baddies. Mayhem and unbelievable car chases and crashes rule in this 2 hour+ movie that is a blast to see but hard to believe. Terrific action scenes make this a fun, fun movie! 3 bananas

Now You See Me

Interesting crime drama centers around 4 magicians/mentalists who are recruited to perform outlandish tricks that have huge consequenses. Fun to see how the tricks are performed that bring in the FBI and another magician whose job it is to debunk the magic. Woody Harrelson and Morgan Freeman star in this exciting to the finsh with a didn't see that coming ending. 3 bananas

Hangover 3

They should have stopped at 2. Definitely a waste of time and money. Very little humor in this very dark comedy. The group reassembles for an intervention and winds up having one of them being kidnapped by some kingpin who is after Mr Chow for stealing $20000000 in gold. Things go from bad to worse as Mr Chow is not above screwing everyone. Dumb, dumb, dumb. Miss this one. 1/2 banana

Star Trek: INTO DARKNESS

Saw this movie by accident, thought I was seeing Hangover 3. Glad I saw it as it is a delightful action packed space adventure that takes place many years from now with the supposedly the sons of the original Star Trek crew. Great job not only with the special effects but also with how close the new crew resembles their past relatives. Definitely worth the time. 3 bananas
