The Adventures Of Tintin (2011)

Rating:  7.5

Comments:  A fun animated (motion capture) family adventure, with likeable characters, some laughs and a little of an Indiana Jones feel to it.  I hope Spielberg decides to make another.

Haywire

Rating:  4.0

Comments:  Other than a solid performance by Gina Carano there was not much to like about this one.  Think the Bourne movies only without nearly everything that made those movies good.

The Whistleblower

Rating:  5.0
