Jarhead (2005)

If I wasn't interested in joining the armed forces before, I certainly am not interested now. Sadly, I believe this film gives a fairly accurate portrayal of the crappy life a soldier endures. It's like a frat house with high powered weapons. No thanks Uncle Sam. 

Rating: C

Dead Rising: Watchtower (2015)

This is either a special edition of Jehovah Witnesses magazine or a B level zombie movie. (it’s the second one) The barely there plot is only made bearable by Rob Riggle’s corny on-air hijinks.

Rating: D

Wreck-It Ralph (2012)

A fun homage to Tron and old school video games in general. Only the hardiest nerds will catch all the references. I could have done without that terrible Rhianna song midway through, but other than that, it was lighthearted fun.

Rating: C+

Kung Fu Panda 2 (2011)

It’s hard to live up to the fantastic original, but this sequel is still pretty good. The entire crew is back to face a new evil foe, with inner peace as the secret weapon. The animation is gorgeous, and the fight scenes are a lot of fun.

Rating: C+

Breach (2007)

This was one of those real life spy stories that Hollywood has to jazz up for it to be even a little exciting. When they write-in a shooting range scene just to get in some gun play, you know the actual story was mainly by the books, literally. Journal entries, emails, memos, text messages, and documents. Not the stuff action movies are made of.

With that said, it's still an interesting film based on true events with solid performances all around.

Rating: C

Far From Heaven (2002)

Really liked the retro feel of this movie. The acting was great too, especially from Julianne Moore. A little depressing for my taste though.
