I skipped the third installment of The Hunger Games because I found the second film already too repetitive. I was asked to join watching the concluding chapter of this blockbuster and went with some trepidation that I might be bored once again. I’m happy to report that Mockingjay Part 2 feels a bit fresher and takes the plot in a somewhat different direction.The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2

I wanted to walk out of Titanic because the love story at the center of the film felt superficial and was getting in the way of telling the story about the ship disaster.The Dressmaker

I watched every episode of the eight seasons of Entourage when it ran from 2004-11 HBO. It was fun entertainment, particularly for men, helping to get one’s mind away from the problems of the day and relax for half an hour.Entourage

An alternative title for this music documentary could be, “Grandpa and Grandma rock!” For music lovers this documentary by the German filmmaker Wim Wenders is a charmer.Buena Vista Social Club
