The Grand Budapest Hotel
While the Hotel doesn’t quite dance in The Royal Tenenbaums’ league, you can’t expect Wes Anderson to repeat a work of genius. It’s close and that’s good enough for me.

Gloria
If you want to see a Spanish film set in Chile, go see Gael Garcia Bernal in the amusing historical drama, No (2012).
Ride Along
Kevin Hart needs to remember the lesson left by the Hangover films. Funny can mutate into dull when repeatedly re-plowing the same ground.
Mr. Peabody & Sherman
Beyond being a great scientist, Mr. Peabody was also a great father. Yet he had to discover the importance of saying “I love you” to his son, something that shouldn’t go unnoticed.
300: Rise of an Empire
Anyone who would agree to make love with Eva Green on screen would likely die with a smile on their face. Then again, there are worse deaths.
Non-Stop
Similar to 3 Days to Kill, this is a film where the hero is an aging, alcoholic man with lost hopes and dreams.
About Last Night
This film does teach a profound lesson. Never smoke pot when preparing a Thanksgiving Dinner. Never!

Despite being released in Hollywood’s February dead zone, this is a film that is likely to surprise you on multiple levels.
