Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit Review
Shadow Recruit wasn't a great movie by any means, but rather a decent entertaining piece of work. It's definitely no The Hunt for Red October or Patriot Games (which is my personal favorite), but it was still fun. If you have two hours to fill this isn't a bad way to past the time. And though it was predictable at times with a simpleton plot, I still found it enjoyable nonetheless. There are definitely a few times that will make you jump.
This reboot does a great job building the characters back-story - why he works for the C.I.A., why he hates helicopters, how he met Cathy, etc. Chris Pine does an excellent job reviving the character and proves worthy of an action hero we can all get behind and support. I was a fan of the entire cast, actually, and even though I didn't love this movie I definitely see potential for a sequel.

An Oscar Snub 2014 Tribute
Source:
JoBlo
This was definitely a difficult year to pick and choose only because there were so many incredible movies to choose from with some remarkable talent. It's not that the Academy got it wrong completely, but they kind of did in a small way by snubbing those I listed above. The 86th Academy Awards will take place on Sunday, March 2nd at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood with a live telecast airing on ABC starting at 7PM (EST) / 4PM (PST). This year's ceremony is being hosted by the charming and hilarious Ellen DeGeneres.

Top 10 Best & Worst Movies of 2013
This Is the End
At World's End
Red 2
The Call
The Place Beyond the Pines

10. A Good Day to Die Hard:

9. Broken City:
8. Girl Most Likely:
7. Gangster Squad:


6. White House Down:

5. Oz the Great and Powerful:
4. Mama:

3. The Bling Ring:
Two words: Bore-Ring.
2. The Host:
And the #1 worst movie of the year goes to...
1. Texas Chainsaw 3D:

Ender's Game
The Conjuring
The Great Gatsby
Catching Fire
Frozen

When folks like Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio collaborate their talents to a crafty new take on excess and greed you get pure genius, not to mention exciting entertainment. And though this movie was over the top and about 45 minutes too long, that scene when Leo is trying to open his car door is hands down the best comedic performance of the year and possibly ever.
"I'll tell you what: I'm never eating at Benihana again. I don't care whose birthday it is."
9. Man of Steel:
"The fact that you possess a sense of morality, and we do not, gives us an evolutionary advantage. And if history has proven anything it is that evolution always wins."

8. Star Trek Into Darkness:
"Because you are my friend."
7. The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug:

"There is something about you. Something you carry, something made of gold... but far more PRECIOUS..."
6. Her:
“Falling in love is a crazy thing to do. It's like a socially acceptable form of insanity.”
5. Philomena:

“I didn’t see that coming, not in a million years.”

4. Gravity:
"Half of North America just lost their Facebook."
3. Captain Phillips:

"You said you were a business man! Is this how you do business?"
2. American Hustle:
“She was the Picasso of passive-aggressive karate.”

"We can't make this film without the color red - it's set in London, for Pete's sake!"

Noah:
This is most definitely an interesting take on the biblical story of old. It looks epic, dark and dreary, yet filled with hope and love, not to mention it has an amazing cast. The beautiful musical score is hugely captivating as well.
Release Date: 3/28/14
American Hustle:
Here comes the 70's in all its glory, fashion, music and hair-dos... oh, and those hair-dos. Amazing. With an all-star cast, this trailer is eye catching, hilarious, mixed in with some intense drama. Sold!

The Conjuring:
This was thee most terrifying movie of 2013, there's no doubt about it. A happy family moving into a new home. Kids fighting over rooms. Family game time... family game (sigh), oh dear. Never in all my life (so far) has a trailer alone made me scream.
