The Penguins of Madagascar
After three movies of playing bit characters in the background, the Penguins of Madagascar finally have gotten their starring roles. The black and white flightless birds, that have always had ab...
Sons of Anarchy: Season Seven
Sons of Anarchy, one of the most successful cable TV series ever, gave its viewers a good send off. Unlike other series finales, it doesn’t leave anything up in the air but wraps things up tightly.
Horrible Bosses 2
In my opinion, it’s just not worth owning or even renting. Like many sequels, it was just disappointing in the end.
Big Hero 6
Some Hard core comic book fans will find fault with Big Hero 6 but I for one thought it was really entertaining and I loved Baymax!
Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day
Overall, Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good Very Bad Day is a good way to entertain your young ones for an hour and a half.
101 Dalmatians
While vastly different stylistically from other Disney animated films but still embodying the excellent quality one expects from the Mouse, 101 Dalmatians is a movie worthy owning and the diamond edition Blu-ray.

My final thought…save your money and wait to see it until it shows up on one of the television movie channels.

Unfortunately, the terrific cast isn’t given much to work with and leaves the viewer feeling a bit let down at the end. This is one Downey, Jr. film I don’t need to see more than once.
A Walk Among the Tombstones
"A Walk Among the Tombstones" -- The almost two hour running time is well spent and worth sitting through and a purchase.
