Rated: R - Runtime: 129 min
tesg's Rating: Two and one half stars (out of four)
I was really looking forward to this. A great cast and a script and direction from the guy who brought us "Silver Linings Playbook".
And it was...okay. Scorsese Lite, if anything. But I'd hoped for more.

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013)
Rated: PG-13 - Runtime: 146 min
tesg's Rating: Two and one half stars (out of four)
I never even intended to go to the first "Hunger Games" movie, but ended up doing so out of boredom. To say I was pleasantly surprised would be an understatement. I LOVED it.
The second movie is basically the first movie, which made it pretty underwhelming. The ending is quite different, setting up the third movie. But aside from that, I felt like I'd already seen this.

Homefront (2013)
Rated: R - Runtime: 100 min
tesg's Rating: Two and one half stars (out of four)
Pretty formula low-budget action feature where you insert a generic action star (Sylvester Stallone, writer and producer, was originally going to lead, but handed the role off to Jason Statham instead) and let them beat the crap out of a lot of people in standard fight scenes, maybe throw in a couple of explosions. If you like that, you'll be fine with this.
Pretty much on the level of Dwayne 'The Rock" Johnson's remake of "Walking Tall".
