If all films had to share a name with a hotel chain, this one would be called Best Western.

Finding Forrester 2000
I wonder if Van Sant went right back to something like Good Will Hunting again because of his dire Psycho experiment. I am by no means a champion of GWH, but this is much less nuanced and more formulaic. All the performances are okay, but Connery does inject some charisma every now and then. There are poignant moments to be found, but those are ultimately drowned in the overlong narrative. At least Gus found some footing (heh) with Gerry right afterwards.

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes 2014
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is a huge improvement from its predecessor, 'Rise.' The performances are great all around, with the stand-out being Andy Serkis as Caesar. I was extremely impressed and in awe on how phenomenal the film looks and is shot. The action sequences are intense and epic. The emotional scenes are brilliant and hit you at your core. 'Dawn' is the sequel that I wanted after 'Rise', and boy, does it deliver.

Godzilla 2014
Ladies and gents, this is the Godzilla movie we've been waiting for. I absolutely loved Godzilla. The fight sequences are jaw-dropping, as well as the effects. Hearing Godzilla's roar in the theater was amazing. There are a couple of minor faults that I had with the film, like one character not being on screen for long, or Godzilla not having enough scenes, but they don't bring this review down by a half star. This is one of the best theater experiences that I've ever had. See this movie now!
