Jack Reacher

STAYED AWAKE

As I was watching the beginning of the movie, I thought to myself, "Tom Cruise, Leo, and possibly Denzel (not his new stuff) really can't make a bad movie."  So as the movie kept going, I kept hoping the movie wasn't bad.  I was expecting more of an action movie vs a crime drama and so that's why I didn't like it as much.  Don't get me wrong; it was a solid movie.  I just didn't like it as much as his popcorn stuff.  I'll have to reorder the actors to Leo > Tom > Denzel (yes, Denzel has made a lot of stinkers of late.)  This is a good home movie (an upgrade to an airplane movie.)

Star Trek Into Darkness

FELL ASLEEP

First off, let me say that I was EXTREMELY TIRED going into this movie.  I was running on 4 hours of sleep for the past week and so no movie had a chance to keep me awake.  With that said, I was surprised how far I got before I fell asleep (somewhere in the 1:30 range).   I actually enjoyed the movie and will have to catch the BluRay when it comes out so I can find out what happens.  And yes, I did watch this in IMAX 3D.
