The Lone Ranger (2013)
Tired of Nonsense Reviews? Me too!
Fun and comical movie for the family. Depp is a different take on Tonto, although his charismatic charm displayed as Captain Jack Sparrow is there as well. Fans of the old Lone Ranger will be surprised by this one, but there are moments that give homage to the original duo. Arnie Hammer is good as the Lone Ranger as well. Not what I expected, but he did command the role. By the end, you realize this movie could have been much much worse with different actors.
All in all I give this an 8-10 for family movies. If your kids are old enough to follow a story and enjoy a good laugh along the way, I recommend this film. Cinematography could be better, story was good but could have been condensed, report was clear between characters, backdrops were excellent, and the acting was an A-. I would disregard any bad reviews on this film if your kids or you really like Johnny Depp and/or the Lone Ranger.
Killing Season (2013)
Tired of Nonsense Reviews? Me too!
Deniro and Travolta were what we have come to expect in this film. Both excellent actors a little past their primes, although this movie showed few signs of regress. Travolta, donning a chin-strap and somewhat comical Bosnian-English accent, comes to America in hopes of revenge on a former US soldier(Deniro)whom he had been confronted and shot by in the Bosnian conflict.
After tracking the US soldier to his home cabin in Northwest USA,back-story is revealed. Ultimately, the two engage in a back and forth battle on the countryside pitting wits against wits in hopes of killing one another. The movie has moments of intense action, followed by articulated scenes of survival. Could have been a bit longer with more build up, hence my 7-10 rating. Would have been a 6 had this not been a Deniro-Travolta flick. Cinematography is good, story is to the point, and Deniro and Travolta do what they do.
