Black Mass

I've seen quite a few films about Whitey Bulger in the last few years, so, plot-wise, I didn't feel like this film necessarily added anything new to the subject. However, the acting in this was absolutely top-notch. It's been a lot of years since I've seen Johnny Depp really sink deep into a role, long enough that I'd forgotten how good he can be. He is at his best in this film, where he seems to inhabit Bulger heart and soul. The whole of the cast was really on their game, and the direction and script were solid. A well done film about a well known subject. 4/5

Lucky Them

What could have been a great story with a stellar cast instead felt mediocre & bland - could have used more color. 3/5

The Rum Diary

Wow... what and astonishingly average movie! What the hell happened to Depp? This was so... meh. Too bad. 3/5

The Tourist

Ridiculously predictable & Depp is so boring I nearly fell asleep. When did Johnny get so dreary? Ugh. 2/5
