"Nebraska"
Three Popcorns

Genre: Drama
Cast: Bruce Dern, Will Forte, Bob Odenkirk, Stacy Keach, Devin Ratray, June Squibb
Director: Alexander Payne
Rating: R
Comment: Filmed in black and white. Poignant but mundane at the same time. Slow sledding but Bruce Dern and June Squibb are terrific in their roles. Director Payne makes it work. Sure to be an Oscar contender.


"Delivery Man"
Three Popcorns

Genre: Comedy
Cast: Vince Vaughn, Cobie Smulders, Chris Pratt
Director: Ken Scott
Rating: PG-13
Comment: A real pleasant surprise. Vaughn doesn't over play it which makes it work. You will never see a picture with more heart. Good comedic script as well.
