April, 1945. As the Allies make their final push in the European Theatre, a battle-hardened army sergeant named Wardaddy commands a Sherman tank and his five-man crew on a deadly mission behind enemy lines. Out-numbered, out-gunned, and with a rookie soldier thrust into their platoon, Wardaddy and his men face overwhelming odds in their heroic attempts to strike at the heart of Nazi Germany.  I like all the movies David Ayers has written and his directorial efforts on End of Day were quite good but he a bit of a setback with last year’s Sabotage.  I am glad this is getting good reviews and look forward to his next movie, Suicide Squad.  

I really like all these DC animated movies and it is about time we get Aquaman involved since he will be making an appearance in the Batman vs Superman movie.  Is Tom Cruise getting royalties for being the face of Aquaman?

Big city lawyer Hank Palmer returns to his childhood home where his father, the town's judge, is suspected of murder. Hank sets out to discover the truth and, along the way, reconnects with his estranged family.  I absolutely love Robert Duvall, I think he is the best in the business.  And the rest of the cast rocks too with Rober Downey Jr, Vera Farmiga, and the great Billy Bob Thornton!  This looks like a good drama to spend an evening with.

A woman, accidentally caught in a dark deal, turns the tables on her captors and transforms into a merciless warrior evolved beyond human logic.  A good looking action maybe sc-fi-ish flick from the always great Luc Besson ( Leon: The Professional, The Fifth Element).  This stars the lovely Scarlett Johansson and the great Morgan Freeman.

Bob Saginowski finds himself at the center of a robbery gone awry and entwined in an investigation that digs deep into the neighborhood's past where friends, families, and foes all work together to make a living - no matter the cost.  A good looking drama that went came and went quietly.  This looks to be Mr. Gandolfini’s last movie role.

A computer hacker whose goal is to discover the reason for human existence continually finds his work interrupted thanks to the Management; namely, they send a teenager and lusty love interest to distract him.  From director Terry Gilliam of Monty Python and stars one of the best in the business right now Christoph Waltz.

James Wan’s The Conjuring was one of my favorite movies of last year as it was a great, slow burn of a ghost story.  The Annabelle doll was creepy in that movie but I have not heard good things about this spin-off.
