Just a rip off of Running Man with video games replacing TV and some strange Sims/Second Life thing tossed in. Short movie so there wasn’t much to it. If you already know the plot all that is left is the action on screen. I wasn’t impressed with the fast cuts and slow-mo. Not impressed by any of the action or the actors (big surprise). It kinda kept my attention, I guess, since I finished it. Wanted something midless to put on to waste time – that’s what I got. 1 out of 5
Rango
Looked good. Couldn’t finish it. Too kiddy (it is a kids movie after all).

Harry Brown
Get Carter gets old. That's basically what this is. Not impressed by it, but it wasn't terrible. Average vigilante revenge pick with an old dude. Better than Taken, but that's not saying much.

Black Death
Wickerman meets Game of Thrones. Sounds good right? Not really. Excessive violence and gore. Unremarkable acting. Visually decent. Ending was strange - not in a good or bad way though.

The Black Dahlia
Sub-par neo-noir. Poor acting. Unremarkable story with an excessive "twist" ending/reveal at the end (not a spoiler since it is a genre trait). Had potential (but not much) and didn't make anything of it.

Movie was interesting to say the least. It was good, especially considering the $700k budget, but it was pretty slow-paced, and was rather uneventful. It's about the friendship that forms between a drug addicted teacher (Gosling) and one of his students (Shareeka Epps). It was worth watching but not something you want to see more than once IMO. Gosling turned in what is probably his best performance (of the movies I've seen), and Epps was pretty good as well. Also co-stars Anthony Mackie. It's worth checking out. #shakycamera

I actually had a very small amount of hope that this would be a decent movie with all things considered, something like maybe a chick-flick version of The Hangover. I couldn't have been more wrong and I don't think it's even worth listing everything wrong with this film.

Sucker Punch
Best music video/video game I’ve seen in a long time. Maybe ever. As a movie it was pretty poor though. I felt like there was little plot driving the movie and it was just a string of extended action sequences strung together by something that would have been better suited for a short; rather than feature length film. Visually it was good and the CGI was done well. But that wasn’t enough to make it enjoyable. I would have liked to have seen this in the theater just to see how the visuals were on a very big screen. 1 out of 5
Expendables
This had about as much plot as sucker punch, but did a better job of making you not care. I expected more out of the action sequences given that is what the film is supposed to be. I don’t think they made the best use of the cast they had. It is a mindless action flick. But I don’t think you could be fooled into thinking otherwise. Expect that and you can’t be let down. For what it was I’d give it 3 out of 5. But as a movie: 1 out of 5
