Mama
This was excellent. The story was done really well without shoving it down your throat. It wasn't over saturated with countless scenes of research and they didn't stick to typical cliches. The scares were great and the atmosphere made it all the more creepy even during the non jump scenes part. Strongly recommend.
Zero Dark Thirty
I thought this would be more interesting but i just found it really boring.
Silver Linings Playbook
I actually really enjoyed this. The acting was good and i liked the story. They seemed to shift focus halfway through the movie but ultimately it's a love story so they stayed on point with that respect.
Taken 2
I liked this and found it entertaining but only as your typical action movie. I think what hurt this one in my opinion was that the first one was so good, there was no way this could live up to it. I wished they had tried harder though. There were a few things i didn't like about it. The daughter seemed perfectly fine in this movie despite the fact that she had been kidnapped by sex traffickers in the first one. Either she's the most well adjusted person in the world of the film makers just chose to ignore it. Also Liam Neeson takes his ex wife and daughter to a foreign country for vacation and even leaves his daughter alone in the hotel despite the fact that only recently she had been kidnapped in a foreign country. For a guy who freaks out when his daughter misses their time together so she can go out with her boyfriend, this just seemed off to me. Plus in the first one, he was so passionate and driven to get his daughter back. He shot his friends wife in the arm to get her back but in this one he just seems tired. He even says as much. But despite it's flaws it's still fun just not as good as the first one.
Gangster Squad
Boring and none of the actors seem to take it seriously. Avoid this one.
The Apparition
Boring, silly, and not scary at all plus none of the characters act in a manner that normal people would act.
