Insidious 2 - 3/5 - Better visuals than the first, but far more inadequate acting and tension. A third movie would be nice, but not necessary at all.
300: Rise of An Empre - 1/5 - Talk about an unnecessary sequel. Lame, outdated style of visuals, with some rehashes. Outside of Eva Green, this movie offered up nothing for enjoyment purposes.
12 Years A Slave - 5/5 - Second time seeing the movie and I'm easily reminded why it's the best movie of the year. Every actor, even the big names that have very few lines and screen time, operated on the highest level possible. The make-up, costume and set design, screenplay and script, and absolutely everything else, brought Solomon's story to life as best as possible.
