………..and I will update this periodically. When you’ve seen the above, we can talk about movies!

 

Current

American Hustle-  Great performance by Christian Bale and Amy Adams. Could win best picture. Must-see

The Wolf of Wall Street-  A little wild on the subject matter, but Leo nailed the role and could win his first Oscar. Another must-see

Dallas Buyers Club- McConaughey has a shot based on his performance, but the movie is just okay

Captain Phillips- Another great role from Tom Hanks, and the movie is worth seeing

Lone Survivor-  Entertaining, but we see it on the news every night
