Lone Survivor 2014 Review

Mark Wahlberg (Ted), Taylor Kitsch (Battleship), Ben Foster (The Mechanic), Emile Hirsch ( Bonnie and Clyde), and Eric Bana (Closed Circuit) star in this extraordinary war epic about Marcus Luttrell (Wahlberg) and his team who get sent out to capture or kill the leader of the al Qaeda, Ahmad Shahd. This was the best film about war in a long time. It was very intense and the sound mixing and editing was unbelievable. If you get a chance, go out and see this film. I give it 4 out of 5 stars.

Grudge Match 2013 Review

Sylvester Stallone (Rocky) and Robert DeNiro (Silver Linings Playbook) team up in this up roaring comedy about 2 old boxing rivals coming back to fight one more match. Henry "Razor" Sharp (Stallone) is retired from boxing at working at an industrial service. Billy "The Kid" McDonnen (DeNiro) is doing good for himself and owns a car dealership and a restaurant. When Dante Slate Jr, played by comedian Kevin Hart, comes in the picture, he wants them two to fight again after being both retired. This movie is a lot of fun for the entire family. I give this film a 3 out of 5 stars.

American Hustle 2013 Review

American Hustle is a film that is directed by David O. Russell (Silver Linings Playbook, The Fighter). Christian Bale plays Irving Rosenfeld, a con man, who recruits Sydney Prosser (Amy Adams), his seductive British partner. Richie DiMaso (Bradley Cooper), an FBI agent who wants to work with Irving and Sydney to take down congress man including the mayor of New Jersey, Carmine Polito (Jeremy Renner). Jennifer Lawrence also stars in this film and plays Irving's wife, Rosayln. I give this film a 4 out of 5 stars. It's slow at times, but very good. Check it out.

The Wolverine 2013 Review

Hugh Jackman is back as the Wolverine in this action-packed film. When The Wolverine is forced to go to Japan by his old acquaintance, things start to get out of hand when the funeral for Yashida is attacked by members of the Yakuza clan. The Wolverine must fight of the Yakuza members and take Mariko, who's grandfather is Yahida, back who was taken at the funeral. This was the best X-Men out of all of them even though X-Men was not in the title. I give The Wolverine 4 out 5 stars. Stay tuned for after credits and discover a scene that leads to the new X-Men film, X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014).

Jobs 2013 Review

Ashton Kutcher is Steve Jobs in this inspiring film about the iconic Steve Jobs who created Apple along with his friends, Steve Wozniak (Josh Gad), Daniel Kottke (Lukas Haas), and Rod Holt (Ron Eldard). Steve Jobs was a college dropout but he could see things no one else could. He took everything to the next level to make it something bigger. Exactly what he did with Apple. Ashton Kutcher gives his best on screen performance as Steve Jobs. I give this movie 4 out of 5 stars.

Homefront 2013 Review

Jason Statham and James Franco star in Homefront written by Sylvester Stallone. Phil Broker (Statham) is a former DEA agent who moves his family to someplace quiet. But what Phil doesn't know is that a meth drug lord, Gator (Franco) lives in this town and soon they come face to face and make things personal. This movie is filled with action from start to finish. Winona Ryder, Kate Bosworth, and Clancy Brown also star in this film. I give Homefront 4 out of 5 stars.

Jackass: Bad Grandpa 2013 Review

Jackass does it again, but this time, it's not about doing stupid stunts, this movie is focused on one character played by Johnny Knoxville, 85 year-old Irving Zisman. This character that Knoxville plays is a skit from the other Jackass films. In Bad Grandpa, Irving Zisman (Knoxville) takes a trip with his 8 year-old grandson Billy, played by Jackson Nicoll, from Nebraska to North Carolina to take Billy back to his real father. This movie was hilarious, in terms of it being a Jackass related movie. I give this movie 2 out of 5 stars.

12 Years a Slave 2013 Review

Chiwetel Ejiofor plays Solomon Northup, a free black man from up state New York, who gets taken and sold into slavery. His journey is unbelievable as he struggles his way through different slave owners. The first owner who buys Northup was Ford, played by Benedict Cumberbatch. Ford was the nicest out of the other owners. Michael Fassbender played Edwin Epps, a ruthless slave owner. Solomon Northup (Ejiofor) struggles to be free so he can see his family again. This movie is very powerful and very good. Based on a true story. I give this movie 4 out of 5 stars.
