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

The Iceman

Well done true story of a contract killer who kills with no emotion but is totally devoted and in love with his wife and two daughters. Story takes place in the 60's and 70's in New Jersey as the killer works with one mob and another and also teaming up with another grizzley killer. Over 100 executions are attributed to this single person before he was arrested. Great character actors abound in this fast paced can't stop watching drama. 3 1/2 bananas

Mud

Two 14 year old boys find a boat high in the trees left behind by a flood on a river in Arkansas. Upon entering it they find Mud/ Mathew McConaghy, wanted for murder, living in it. A bond grows between one of the boys and Mud as they restore the boat while forces around them are looking to kill Mud. Many subplots keeps the viewer on edge throughout. Definitely worth seeing. 3 1/2 bananas

Iron Man 3

Action filled 3rd time around is as good as it gets. Non stop action with just about everything blowing up as Iron Man takes on his latest villain The Manadarin, whose agenda includes killing the President. Many close calls for Iron Man but as usual he saves the day. Robert Downey Jr and Gwenn Paltrow star in this exciting and fun filled classic from Marvel comics. 3 bananas

Pain and Gain

3 body builders ,from Miami, kidnap and torture a shaddy wealthy local into giving up all his bank accounts,Homes/boats /etc. This true like story starts out as a comedy but quickly becomes a drama as events unfold after the 3 burn through their ill gotten gains. Mark Wahlberg and The Rock star in this sometimes funny but always engaging crime drama. See it to see how people can make such stupid mistakes. 2 1/2 bananas
