Runner Runner - Review

I must say I really did like this film a lot and I had lots of anticipation for it because two entertainers I enjoy watching were in it in Justin Timberlake and Ben Affleck.  I think this movie had a great concept and it reminded me ironically of "The Social Network" a little bit.  The length was done very well and it really did build up through its entirety.  The acting by Timberlake and Affleck was really great and the two made a good combination together which should be used in future films down the road.  Though, this film had some parts that jumped around where you were trying to figure out what the heck was going on in those parts of the film, it was still enjoyable to watch.  This is another film I do recommend as well.

Rating - 3.5/5

Captain Phillips - Review

As Oscar season is on it's way, quite a few films like "Captain Phillips" await us.  This film is all based on a true story and it is truly remarkable to watch as the intensity and suspense is really incredible throughout this film.  The acting on all parts especially by Tom Hanks is truly amazing and I believe Hanks could be nominated for an Academy Award for his performance.  Also, I believe the Main Pirate could also be nominated as well.  The film also had a great screenplay which could be nominated as well, not to mention also for Best Picture as well.  This film was one of the best films this year though I thought some parts were hard to comprehend when the timing and sequences were hard to follow along with.  I also thought the film failed to describe the rescue operations thoroughly and how they worked as it appeared help magically helped the captain at ease.  I am pretty sure during the real capturing there was a lot more intensity going on and only some of it was portrayed in the film.  I also thought the length of the film was a bit long and could've been shortened a bit.  Other than that, this film was truly great and I do recommend you all go see it.

Rating - 4/5

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 - Review

This film can just tag along with the rest of the disappointing animated films that have been released in 2013.  The list is becoming staggering.  This movie basically has not plot or story line.  I even was bored with the characters in the film because they just seemed so boring.  However, the animation was very unique and I thought the animation was done very well.  Other than that, don't waste your time with this film.

Rating - 1.5/5
