JACK REACHER

A surprisingly good cop movie...Much different than expected...Less explosions than usual...Law & Order did the plot but still holds you...Tom lookin' good...

DJANGO UNCHAINED

Django unedited...4hrs. too long...Too over the top...Do one or the other? Slavery ,irony, Tom foolery, gore...Sergio Leone is safe...

ARGO

Argo spelled backwards is boring...I know it's real...but felt like a poor knock off of Wag The Dog...

HITCHCOCK

O.K. but thin...More Psycho and less family Hitch...More Anthony Perkins...Bird droppings on him at the end instead...

KILLING THEM SOFTLY

Boring me heavily...Almost amateurish...Cliche attempting and refusing to stop...Too much empty-disconnected yakking...Awful, unattached soundtrack...A glimpse of Sam Shepard? Why...Why all of it...
