Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire - R
|
|
A somber story set in a grim place that usually mainstream Hollywood seems to avoid. The movie is a challenging one with hard-hitting drama, showing you scenes that will hit you right in the gut. It's a little over hyped in my opinion, but one thing that isn't over hyped is the acting. Newcomer Gabourey Sidible is heartbreaking as Precious, and comedian Mo'Nique is unforgettable as the one of the meanest villains in film history.

The Blind Side - PG-13
|
|
It is true that Sandra Bullock gives one of her most charismatic performances of her career, and is true that this film is what they call a crowd pleaser. This film knows exactly how to hit those notes in this Hallmark card feeling film, and I think that's the main problem. It's based off the inspirational true story and while the film does feel inspirational, it doesn't feel very true.

Pirate Radio (The Boat That Rocked) - R
|
|
After you get over the fact that they wasted a perfectly good opportunity to tell this tale of rock and roll history with some realism and conviction it deserved, I guess it isn't so bad. It is a fun enough time, and is filled with plenty of anarchy and good music that should put a smile on your face, though the film suffers a bit from its several subplots and montages.

2012 - PG-13
|
|
Will probably be remembered as the film that was so bad it was good, but to me will just be remembered as just plain bad. Corny dialog exchanges, ridiculous sequences, with some pretty spectacular looking special effects surrounding. It's almost amusing how epic the film is and how serious it takes itself, but at a near three hour running time, it's unbearable.

An Education - PG-13
|
|
Carey Mulligan performance in this film has been critically praise, even striking some comparisons to the actress Audrey Hepburn, and rightfully so. She completely owns this role in a film that should be the new definition for the word charming. Carefully directed, beautifully shot, and a well crafted story that always seems to steer the film is the right direction.

Disney's A Christmas Carol - PG
|
|
A respectable adaptation of Dickens classic story with Jim Carrey giving a fantastic performance as the Scrooge, but when will Zemeckis stop with this 3D motion-capture stuff? While it is impressive in some aspects, on the other hand, it can be so distracting and useless. Also in every rendition of this story when the Scrooge undergoes his realization it's usually an emotional moment, but in this one, not so much.

A Serious Man - R

The Coen Brothers are no doubt, two of the best directors working in the industry today. So it is probably no surprise to say that their new film is just simply astonishing. A film that is dim, comical, and really kind of philosophical. One of the best things that the Coen Brothers do in this film is provide you with just enough information to stay involved in the story, but also provide you some mysteries for you to think about on the ride home.

The Men Who Stare at Goats - R
|
|
A great premise to what could have probably been a great movie if only the film had more material to work with. There are some laugh-out-loud moments and some great characters by Bridges, Spacey, and Clooney. The real problem this film suffers was the lack of an actual story; the film is just only a good idea.

Michael Jackson's This Is It - PG
|
|
There is no denying that this is probably just one last payout before they close the coffin on Michael Jackson, but the audience does get their money's worth. The film feels less like a rip-off and feels more like a genuine tribute that shows Michael during rehearsals of what would have been an awesome show and reminds us of what he always was, a professional performer with enormous talent.
