One Day

One Day is a romantic Movie about two friends that fall in love. The basic plot line is that we as the audience visit these two people on a specific day out of the year over 13 years. This makes for an interesting movie that really does feel real in a sense. The reason being is they are not necessarily together on that specific day. The actress Anne Hathaway is particularly excellent I can't believe it's the same woman who did the Princess Diaries. And the actor mainly I know from 21 was excellent as well in this male lead. The onscreen chemistry was felt throughout the film which made it even better. The color tones of the film were cool and not outrageous although this is expected from a romantic movie such as this one. I find it calming and quite romantic. There wa an excellent art director on this movie in my opinion.

The Debt

The Debt is an action thriller that is filled with excellent story and intrigue. The storyline follows three Mussed  agents that have kept a secret for many years. Finally though their secret is going to be exposed. This storyline is very exciting because of the amount of surprises the audience has particularly about a specific point in the film you expect one thing to happen but that doesn't happen it is  really suspense I was almost yelling at the screen. But that is what this movie really brings you to do is practically getting out of seat. The camera in this movie is very third person but also from afar because this is a spy movie. The camera seems hidden at times this is when they are in public on the mission which gives that secret agent man feel. But when in private the camera is very intimate which gives it a stir crazy cabin fever type feeling and also I find enhances the romance of the movie. Bottom line of the overall review is a definite rent with a timid buy because of the the rewatchability which I find with spy movies very lackluster.

J. Edgar Hoover was incredibly terrible?!?

   J. Edgar is the story of the former director o the FBI J. Edgar Hoover, this movie is a dram an excellent one at that, I found it very interesting. I know I say interesting a lot when judging movies but it is mostly because I legitimately do find these films interesting. Anyhoo, Leonardo De Caprio stars as the former director of the FBI and his performance as usual is awesome. What I found cool is the storyline which of course follows J. Edgar Hoover but it follows him through the underground tunnels of the actual man. Or at least the speculation that people have had about Mr. Hoover.
   The general feel of the movie is dark and you find yourself enthralled in the story. The camera is an objective viewpoint but has a feel of a wiretap sorta angle. That is to say you are spying on J. Edgar rather than experiencing these things with him. That couple with interesting darkness which gives the film a tone of despair and slyness. Which actually helps the movies plot move forward and such.
   Somethings I didn't like about this movie were the cut scenes it seemed choppy and a bit rushed. The story is constant flashback and so that is something I have found annoying but in this movie since it is required I found it actually not as annoying.
   Finally I highly suggest this film I would say a timid buy because rewatchability is not as there as you would want but I would say definite rent.

In Time to watch another movie!

In Time is a movie about a dystopian society where the people are genetically engineered in order to not age past 25 years. While on the surface this may seem great the fact is that " many must must die in order for a select few to be immortal". This is the prevailing idea of the film that in my mind is a commentary of the current economic state of the country. This movie is a commentary on the discretion of economic classes even more so because of the "time districts" which are basically the ghetto and richville. Whatever the meaning behind this movie I found it was lOst on through the bad script and unfortunate lackluster suspense. Justin Timberlake is at least in my mind an actor who has earned my respect however I think the cheesy tone of the protagonist was just to much for me. I would say watch it but rent because the problem is this is no way the worst movie but it isn't worth buying in my opinion.

Anonymous? Shakespeare didn't write this!

Anonymous is an interesting drama on the controversial subject of Shakespeare not writing a single word of the work he lays claim to. This is an excellent drama with more twists and turns than you can anticipate. The actors in this movie are excellent and what is interesting is the lack of focus on Shakespeare's character. They rather made it about the man the film claims wrote all of the works. I really don't want to ruin anything so I will merely say that this a definite movie worth seeing although there some scenes that scene unusual and unnecessary the excellent story however far outweighs these flaws.

Tekken BOOM!

Tekken is a movie that takes place in the video game world of the classic arcade game Tekken. I personally like Tekken the video game due to the Interesting characters and the 2D in 3D if that makes any sense. The movie though was ok overall. I really like the rundown look and feel of the movie as a whole. The story however is lackluster due to its overuse. The son/daughter is not allowed to fight by the parent however the parent dies due to some foul play and the son/daughter avenge them in some way. This has been done before and just seems wornout. The real kind of star in this movie is the fighting which I personally appreciate for the ring and kind of Mortal Kombat feel. Also Mortal Kombat is a great parallel due to the similar story and video game origins. Tekken could have been an awesome movie however the story is just not there. What I would suggest is if you like fighting movies just for the fighting and don't really care about story I say watch but rent.

Win Win Win!!!

Win Win is an excellent drama and comedy package that touches your heart and also your sense of humor. The story begins with a down and out lawyer and wrestling coach, Paul Giamatti, who takes in an elderly client, Burt Young, in order to recieve payment for his family to live. The client gets a visit from his grandson, Alex Schaffer, a young man trying to get away from his mother and who also happens to be a champion wrestler. This movie to me was really well done because it found the perfect balance of humor and heartfelt scenes.Win Win is a great flick with a great story and cast I highly recommend watching this movie.
