The Hurt Locker - R

What a powerhouse of intensity! It never lets up once, it never gives into cliche, and it never lets us out of its grip. For that feat, I'd have to mostly give credit to Bigelow - she finds those shots and vantage points that create monsters out of shadows and dangers out of wandering eyes, bringing us closer to the everyday fear for survival found in any military man. Speaking of which, Renner *nails* this. We hate his arrogance, we love his compassion, and we identify with his weakness. This film pulled me in, not with slam-bang and glitz ala Avatar, but with the humanity of its characters and the hell they wade through. (P.S. This also contains one of my favorite cameo payoffs ever.) Here's hoping they bring home the little gold man.

Le Scaphandre et le Papillon (The Diving Bell and the Butterfly) - PG-13
|
|
A fascinating and gut-wrenching peek inside the mind of a man entombed in his own body. Amalric is wonderful, as is the supporting cast (with maybe one exception). Visually, it's quite a beautiful piece, with major kudos to the lighting department. I would have liked to see the script go even deeper with our protagonist, but I suppose this film is mostly about the artist and not the man. Still, worth watching if you can get your hands on it.

The Gold Rush - Unrated
|
|
One of my favorite Chaplin films to date, (so far) second only to The Kid. I mean, who can resist the dance of the rolls? Or the chicken suit? Or the heartbreak of a New Years alone? Georgia Hale is tremendous, a match even to our Charlie, as the foxy leading lady. The visuals are also very impressive for the time - I dare you to try and find any wires. This is definitely not to be missed.

Whip It - PG-13
|

To be fair, I watched this on a plane, half-sleeping through some of it. But anyway. Yeah. So the review. Ms. Page is bang-on, once again, though the character was disappointingly similar to her iconic role in Juno. The supporting cast is fair, though mostly seem like filler. The plot is also fairly predictable - nice girl gets into nasty sport, mommy and daddy don't approve, her nice stuff conflicts with the nasty stuff and she's forced to decide... blah blah blah. Been done, right? Kudos to Barrymore for some solid direction though, the visuals really pop and the action seems very immediate and adreneline-pumped.

The Circus - G

The definition of a "good-er", as far as I'm concerned. Great character work, and the Tramp's first slips and trips are genius. The storyline tends to drag a bit near the end, but the finale is wonderfully poignant and realistic.
