Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues

Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues; not as funny as the first, yet need for emotional grounding takes it to weird places. Strangely funny; B+

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug; More merriment & character building results in more engaging moments. Still, middle film let down; B+

47 Ronin

47 Ronin; Plays like a feudal Japan Lord of the Rings w/less action yet all the walk & talk & respectful head bowing. An expensive yawn; C
