42 Review (2013)

42 Review (2013)

 

   42 was a very well done movie with a compelling story, good acting, and inspiring characters. Chadwick Boseman really manages to really bring it in this film, making us not only sympathize, but really feel the rage driven emotion that Jackie feels. But it's not just about him. Branch Rickey (Played by Harrison Ford) was extremely effective in this also. Not only did he have a massive part to play in the making of history, but he really did show just as much courage as Jackie had to. I applause all of the performances in this film and I am pleased to say that I wasn't disappointed with any.

  Now what really surprised me most, is the comedy added to this. It had some genuinely funny moments that really added to it. I also thought it was a very pleasant film to look at as far as coloring and the way it was shot.  Where it lacks being raw or gritty, it makes up for with a lot of heart. 

  In conclusion, 42 was an awesome biopic that I really enjoyed. 4 out of 5 stars. (It's Great)

50/50 Review (2011)

50/50 Review (2011)

 

  Inspired by a true story, 50/50 is the story of a young man, Adam, (played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt) who finds out that he has a very rare kind of spinal cancer and his chances of living are 50/50.
  I was shocked at how much I loved this movie. How the script manages to keep a smooth tone while combining humor and drama with such ballance and respect is extremely impressive. The cast, which includes: Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Seth Rogan, Bryce Dallas Howard, Anjelica Huston, and Anna Kendrick all give STUNNING performances. Joseph Gordon-Levitt has really put the standard high with this Oscar deserving accomplishment.
  50/50 is realstic, funny, sweet, charming, genuine, original, fresh, and uplifting.  Director, Jonathan Levine, has done something most filmmakers would never dare to do and he has done it well in this satisfying dramedy. It's a story about survival, friendship, loyalty, and life that will leave you crying tears of sadness and tears of laughter. Being by far the best movie of 2011, I will reward 50/50 with 5 out of 5 stars! (A Must See)

Argo Review (2012)

Argo Review (2012)

  Let me start off by saying, Argo deserved every nomination and Oscar it was presented with. It was well done, brilliantly acted, amazingly directed, and simply incredible.  Ben Affleck executes this film in such a way that never in any moment does it feel too long or lagging. The opening scene sets a tone of uneasiness that will keep you at the edge of your seat the entire time.
  Yes, there are a some inaccuracies historically that some may have gripes with, but overall I would say this was an astounding piece of work and would give it a 5 out of 5 stars. (A Must See)
