In the Heart of the Sea

This action/adventure film is bold, to be sure, but it truly works. The tale is epic, and the scope of the sets, CGI, and direction are equally epic. It feels a touch saccharine at times, and at others very dark and tragic. The rather masterful acting really holds this story together and makes for compelling viewing. Better than I expected. 3.5/5

Avengers: Age of Ultron

So, I seem to have radically different opinions than other Marvel fans. Most of the world thought the first Avengers film was amazing, equal to "The Dark Knight" even. I thought it was fairly average and kind of a waste of talent. This movie has gotten mostly average to bad reviews on Netflix. And I thought it was f'n AMAZING. THIS is the Avengers movie I was waiting for. I loved every moment of it and can see how it will lead perfectly into Civil War. Bravo Marvel for getting this one right. 5/5

Thor: The Dark World

This was a better & more solid story than the first film but I did miss Loki's presence for most of it. 3/5

Rush

It's so rare to find a movie that hits this close to perfection. Howard's stunning direction combined with outstanding acting from Hemsworth and Bruhl and a perfectly paced script left me breathless. Bravo! 5/5

This may be pretty to look at but WOW is it weak in plot & acting. Iron Man is most certainly is not. Disappointing. 2/5
