The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (2014)

This is another movie in the Hobbit movie series by Peter Jackson based on the books by J. R. Tolkien and a pre-quel to the Lord of The Rings movies.

In this movie Bilbo and his hobbit friends are forced to battle a large group of evil creatures to help defend Lonely Mountain but he looses alot of friends in the process.

This is a good movie if you have seen the other Hobbit movies. It is rather long, but I give it a 3.5 out of 5.

Birdman: Or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) (2014)

This movie was real lame. A former actor is trying to re-invent his career in theater but is battling some demons of his own. His cast is falling apart during the previews and he just wants to make it through and get a good review.

I give this movie a 2 out of 5.

Starring Michael Keaton (Batman, Batman Returns) as Riggan, Emma Stone (Easy A, The Help) as Sam, Zach Galifianakis (The Hangover movies, Due Date) as Jake, Naomi Watts (King Kong, The Ring) as Lesley and Edward Norton (Fight Club, American History X) as Mike.

This was an awesome movie. A little hard to follow at times but awesome non the less.
