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

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
