[FILM] This films has one of the greatest boy-meets-girl scenes of any film I’ve ever seen (I would call it the “meet cute” but that doesn’t quite feel appropriate…) It’s a lovely story if a bit slow, but one that will surely make you smile, and maybe even cry. For when you get sick of all these stupid comic book blockbusters…
[FILM] Not that into superhero/comic book-type movies in general, but I actually really enjoyed Thor. Chris Hemsworth won me over quite quickly, especially in the shirtless scenes. And who doesn’t love Kat Dennings and Natalie Portman? Icing on the cake.
[FILM] Super gr8. Enjoyed it far more than I expected. The kids are all fantastic and the story is very straightforward - some would argue this is where the film is lacking, but I saw it as a great strength.
[FILM] Not for me.
[FILM] Please do yourself a favor and catch this one (in theaters now!) A fresh and funny coming-of-age story with a bit of stylistic flair courtesy of Richard Ayoade, British comedian/actor/writer and director of such music videos as Vampire Weekend’s Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EShxp3qME70
[FILM] Must see movie. Do yourself a favor- do not watch the trailer. Do not read the reviews. Just go see the movie. It is best to know as little as possible. All I will tell you is that it was well worth watching. And then some.
[TV] I will be the first to admit, Season 1 was crap. I stopped watching after the first few episodes and later rewatched when I saw how great Season 2 was. Seriously, they really kicked it into gear. Aziz Ansari and Chris Pratt are fantastic. And while I would love to say it’s all about Amy Poehler, her character really isn’t as great as the supporting roles. If you gave up early on, I urge you to give it a second chance. It isn’t the greatest show on TV (*cough Modern Family), but it’s still good for a few laughs. Ben Schwartz’s character Jean-Ralphio… love. Looking forward to the April-Andy love story to blossom in the upcoming season.
[TV] The greatest show on television. If you haven’t started watching this yet, you’d better start ASAP. The ensemble cast is absolutely stellar; I love every one of them. Not only is it funny, but it is fresh as well. A must watch.
[FILM] Directed by Mark Ruffalo (he also plays a supporting character), this film is a wee bit all over the place. It can’t seem to decide what genre it wants to be, and I have to say, while some shots were beautiful, for the most part, the cinematography was really distracting— too much headroom!!! The acting was strong; Mark Ruffalo’s character was great, Christopher Thornton was really fantastic, Juliette Lewis provided comic relief, and Orlando Bloom was a lot darker than his previous roles- much more compelling than his RomCom fare… Can’t say I’d really recommend it, but I didn’t hate it either. Meh.
[FILM] AWFUL. Could not stand this film about a terrible father who only gets to see his kids for 2 weeks a year, and uses those 2 weeks to be a complete selfish prick. Ugh. Doubt much will come of it, but if it does, don’t waste your time.
