Watched a bunch of movies at the Firehouse lately. Can't even remember them all.
American Sniper- excellent movie, great acting, well shot, good script. Haven't read the book so don't know how it compares.
Hobbit, Battle Of the Five Armies- Good movie, not great, battle scenes are on an epic scale, didn't love the special fx on any of the 3 movies. Thought they could have been done better/differently.
The Equalizer- not a bad movie, but nothing new or special. If you've seen Man on Fire with Denzel, you've already seen this movie. Same script, same plot, same character even. It's a good mindless action flick, but nothing memorable.
Horrible Bosses 2- funny funny funny. Same damn movie as the first, and that works just fine in this case. The cast is hilarious, needed a little more of Jennifer Aniston, though. Love her character in both of these. It's a good laugh.
Dumb and Dumber Too- didn't get to watch the whole thing cuz I was cooking dinner for the guys, but laughed my ass off at what I did see. They made the same movie all over again, even the same jokes a few times, but it worked for me. The first one was a classic, this one comes just short of it. Very funny is stupid humor is your thing
Unbroken- great movie. Angelina Jolie did an excellent job directing. Good story, great acting, a must watch. Very inspiring tale of a true American Hero.
Mockingjay (Hunger Games)- solid flick, not quite as good as the previous 2. Seemed to be not quite a whole movie by itself, but just a 2 hour setup for the final movie in the series. Good action, good fx, and Jennifer Lawrence is hot as usual.
The Interview- really stupid, and really funny. I'm not a James Franco fan, but he was very funny in this. The guy that played Kim Jong-Un was excellent. The whole movie is ridiculous, and it should be. If you're a fan of stupid comedy, this is right up your alley.
