February 2014 Movie Ratings

A short month, combined with a busy schedule, limited my February viewing a bit. I didn't make it to the theater to see any of the Oscar contenders as I have in previous years. I did, however, watch a handful of quality indie films. 2013 was a very strong year for indies. Enough Said, Short Term 12 and All is Lost highlighted this month's group.

The low point of the month was clearly Michael Bay's latest stinker, Pain & Gain. This "action comedy" was boring and devoid of laughs.

Escape Plan (2013) Score: 26.5 - 6.5, Grade C+
The Flowers of War (2011) Score: 29 - 7, Grade B
Friends with Kids (2012) Score: 28.5 - 7, Grade B-
