This time, movies we saw on airplanes (which is not the best viewing environment) and in hotels Down Under.
Epic
|
63
|
Clever invention of a new kind of “little people” and their
interaction with nature and people. A
little too predictable.
|
42

75

How did baseball become integrated?
What strength did it take Jackie Robinson and the man who hired him to
make it happen? Harrison Ford becomes
Branch Rickey. Chaswick Boseman gives
a wonderfully restrained performance.

Mud
|
73
|
You’re a teenage boy. Your parents are not getting along. You meet a
stranger who has given up everything for the love of a woman. Which way do
you turn? What do you learn? Really
liked this one.
|
Hitchcock
|
78
|
Ostensibly about the making of “Psycho” this movie is mostly about the
relationship of Alfred Hitchcock and his wife and partner Alma Reville. Really good!
|
Safe Haven
|
55
|
A Nicolas Sparks romance. Fine for what it is. A few surprises, which is nice.
|
Olympus Has Fallen
|
58
|
Could the White House really be taken by terrorists? (Probably not.) Could one agent really be
the hero? (Probably not.) But hey, this is escapism in the era of
terrorism.
|
Oblivion
|
56
|
Two or three decent sci-fi ideas, but not fleshed out enough. Too much Cruise. Not enough Morgan Freeman. And not enough sci-fi.
