Review – The Hunger Games – Catching Fire

★★★☆☆ As sequels go, Catching Fire wasn’t horrible. It was actually somewhat enjoyable even if it did have a “studio milking it for more” feel. Philip Seymour Hoffman generally tends to be an enjoyable watch. Jennifer Lawrence did a fine job and Woody Harrelson, well, he’s Woody, need I say…

Review – The Devil’s Violinist

☆☆☆☆☆ Maybe if I played the violin or was into art films about art I could have made it to the end of The Devil’s Violinist. I mean the premise of a musical superstar being destroyed by a woman was interesting. I mean if the drugs don’t get them a…

Review – The Fifth Estate

★★★★☆ Some day Benedict Cumberbatch will do a bad job of acting, but I don’t want to see that day. Mr. Cumberbatch does an absolutely astounding job of playing Julian Assange. The supporting actors do their part to help sell this image as well. One thing I noticed and haven’t…
