5 Star Movies

5 Star Movies: Unknown, 50/50, The Ides of March, Jack & Jill, The Muppets

Unknown: This is basically Taken’s stupid little brother… silly and predictable but kind of fun. Liam Neeson continues his awesome run as geriatric action star. ***

50/50: A great movie that deftly balances being super fun and super sad. JGL and Rogen was a prime time pairing. Also, I cried. Yes I did. ****1/2

The Ides of March: Tremendous political thriller with SO MUCH GOOD ACTING. MY GOODNESS. ****1/4

Jack & Jill: Peak bad Adam Sandler. A real capture of The Culture at this moment in time. DUD

The Muppets: If every movie were like this movie the world would be a better place. The Muppets return and it is made with love. ****3/4
