Limitless

This movie stars Bradley Cooper from Hangover.

This is a great movie.  

I like the occasional Flowers For Algernon movie and this one is definitely worth the time and money.

He takes a pill and suddenly he can use 100% of his brain.  Interestingly, he needs to keep taking them.

He narrates a lot of the movie and for me, it works.

Di Niro is great albeit a small player in the overall movie.

I give this 3.5 stars our of 4.

Rango

Every now and then Johnny Depp's picker goes bad.

This movie is one of those instances.

First the good: I liked the animation.  The animals were creative and very detailed.  Animation has come a long was since Sleeping Beauty.

Now for the Rest of the Story.

This movie is neither funny nor sad.  It's not scary and the plot is flat and highly predictable.  This would not appeal to anyone of any age group.

I sat next to a girl that was about 8 years old.  She just sat there.

I left half way through it.  It felt like I was watching a stand-up comic fall flat.

This gets my lowest rating of ZERO stars.
