REVIEW:

If you've been reading me for a while now, then you should be fully aware at the fact that I'm a sucker for coming-of-age movies.  It could just be because I'm currently in high school, but I'm just head over heals in love with this particular sub-genre of film.  This year alone has given us some memorable ones, from a boy and the unlikely friendship he makes with the manager of a water park in "The Way, Way Back," to a bunch of 11 year olds playing imaginary war in the woods in "I Declare War."  "The Kings of Summer," which made a huge splash at Sundance this year, is a tale about three boys who build a house in the woods to get away from their crazy and irritating parents.  Once a girl gets in their way, though, the friendship that they all share might come crumbling down a lot quicker than they expected it to.

I'm just gonna come out and say this with no buildup whatsoever: I am head over heels in love with this movie.  As someone who was gaga for "The Way, Way Back," I gotta say that not only is this movie funnier, by the way this might very well be the funniest movie I've seen all year, but it also really hit me for different reasons than how any other film this year did.  This is a movie about first loves, teenage angst, and the friendship between two people, and what that resulted in was a smart, hilarious, and touching movie that takes the kid-chemistry from "Super 8" and incorporate it with the foulness of a Seth Rogen comedy.  All of the acting is fantastic, the story flows in a very linear fashion, the script is fresh and witty, and overall this movie just feels like a soon-to-be classic for teenagers.  Plus, I have a feeling that even if you don't particularly care for the movie, you'll at least enjoy the randomness and strange being that is in the form of Biaggio, the third boy who tags along in the group.  Just watch the film, and see what I mean.

REVIEW:

Whenever Dennis Quaid has an idea for a movie, it's probably best to stay as far away from it as possible.  That is, unless he holds you at gunpoint, in which you totally lie to him and give him a fake check for his movie.  That is what Greg Kinear's character should have done in one of the many painful shorts in the terrible raunch-fest that is "Movie 43."  Here is a movie that takes all of these big celebrities, ranging from Academy Award Winners like Kate Winslet and Halle Berry to annoying actors like Kate Bosworth and Sean William-Scott, and puts them in a series of unfunny shorts that try incredibly hard to be as raunchy and as crude as humanly possible.  Aside from the opening skit featuring Kate Winslet and Hugh Jackman on a blind date, which I will admit I laughed pretty hard at, the film is overall pretty bad.

The jokes are tasteless, the stories are stupid, and the movie tries way to hard to be edgy and as R rated as possible.  I mean seriously, if they wanted to make a funny segment about a girl getting her first period or an iPod ripoff in the form of a life-size, naked woman (guess where the fan is), they would have gotten a better writer and done something creative with it.  Comedy these days, while there are some exceptions, seems like it's trying to rehash the same old crap that audiences pay top bill over every weekend, so to see celebrities, well-regarded celebrities even, doing something as awful as this, it just further shows that they want money.  I will give the filmmakers credit though: at least Adam Sandler or Tyler Perry didn't have any sort of role here.  Then again, they were probably shooting "Temptation" and "Grown Ups 2" when this was filming, so I guess it all evens out.

REVIEW:

For the first time this year, I walked out of a movie shaking.  Like literally, my hands were still shaking when I was walking out of this film.  Now to be fair, it might have been because it was pretty cold outside when I exited the theater, but still, "Prisoners" is the first movie I've seen in 2013 that has truly shaken me to the core.  This is a film that makes you question how far you would go to find your child if they somehow go missing.  Without spoiling anything, I think it's pretty fair to say that Hugh Jackman's character gets a little out of hand and handles this situation to the extreme.  While Jackman is doing is own thing to find his daughter, along with the daughter of Terrence Howard and Viola Davis' characters, Jake Gyllenhaal's character has devoted himself to finding these two girls as well, and what unfolds is a 2 and a half hour intense thrill ride that grabs you by the horns and never lets go until the credits begin rolling.  "Prisoners" is not a film for soft parents or even soft people in general, so if you're not in that demographic, I'd highly recommend you checking this movie out.

If you thought Hugh Jackman was good in "Les Miserables," then wait until you see him in this movie.    Aside from maybe one or two moments where his character becomes a bit of an over the top, cookoo-for-cocoa-puffs type person, Jackman captivates the screen and gives possibly his most powerful and devoted performance to date.  While you might not agree with some of the things that Jackman's character does as the film progresses, you can still sympathize with him and understand exactly where he's coming from.  In a way, he's like a father Lion trying to protect his cubs by using any means of torture imaginable.  And like a Lion, his character is ferocious, gritty, and even terrifying at times.  As great as Jackman is, though, I believe that the one who stole the show was Jake Gyllenhaal.

Gyllenhaal just continues to further prove just how damn talented he is in this film as Detective Loki.  Loki, while being a tough-as-nails cop, has a good heart and will stop at nothing to find the two little girls and bring them to safety.  Gyllenhaal gives a raw, effective, and all around great performance, and he once again proves that he is one of Hollywood's best actors working today.  Viola Davis, Terrence Howard, and Maria Bello, while good in the film, weren't used a lot and didn't really warrant the star power that the three actors have.  Paul Dano is great as the potential suspect of the kidnapping, and Melissa Leo is also great as Dano's oblivious and concerned aunt.  No bad performance is given in this movie at all, however you'll probably be talking about Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal when exiting the theater.

I give major props to director Denis Villeneuve and writer Aaron Guzikowski for making a gritty, tough as nails, and suspenseful movie that has twists and turns around any corner, almost all of which you will never see coming.  The acting is great, particularly from Jackman and Gyllenhaal, the story is gripping and keeps you invested, and it's just all around a fantastic movie.  Rarely do movies ever have me shaking upon exiting the theater, and "Prisoners" is one of those rare few movies that did just that.  "Prisoners" may just be the single most suspenseful movie of 2013 thus far, and it's highly worth a watch for the performances alone.

REVIEW:

From the film's 17 minute opening shot to its epic and intense 20 minute finale, "Gravity" pulls you into its clutches and never lets go in the slightest for the entire 91 minute ride.  This film comes from acclaimed director Alonso Cuarón, who is known for such films as "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" and "Children of Men," the latter of which got major love in the awards circuit back in 2006.  It stars Sandra Bullock and George Clooney as two astronauts, one who is on his last mission to space and the other on her first.  Just when things could be running smoothly, the two get into serious trouble when satellite debris starts killing off their other crew members and starts making their options to get back home and survive scarcer by the minute.  What ensues from this basic plot is something you have to see to believe.  Seriously, find the biggest 3D screen playing this movie around you, preferably an IMAX screen, and just watch in awe.  "Gravity" is a technical marvel, a moving character drama, and quite possibly the best space movie ever put on the big screen.

"Gravity" may very well have the best visual effects I have ever seen put on a movie screen.  Every single shot in this movie makes you feel like you are actually in space and further immerses you into the tension that's going on between the debris flying and Bullock's struggle to get back to Earth.  The 3D is also stellar and is the best use of the format since last year's "Life of Pi." Every shot looks stellar and the big screen experience only adds to that.  If you can, see this movie in IMAX 3D, because this movie is something I believe you should see on the biggest screen available in your area.  I give props to Alfonso Cuarón's direction for keeping the audience invested and stunned while watching this thrilling space story unfold.  The opening of the film is a continuous shot that lasts around 20 minutes, and the effort put into that particular scene is just mesmerizing, showing how much of a genius he is behind the camera.  He is a man who understands how to tell a trilling story without exploiting the special effects to the highest degree.

Luckily with this movie, there is just as much substance as there is style, allowing the viewers to get invested with Sandra Bullock and George Clooney's characters while staring at awe at the visuals of space.  Bullock has really come to prove that she is one hell of an actress, with her role as Ryan Stone in this film arguably being her best work to date.  Without spoiling the details, let's just say that Sandra Bullock has to work alone throughout a good majority of this movie, and boy does she make the film her own.  There's one particular scene involving a family on Earth that really pulls at the heartstrings and makes you really sympathize with Bullock's character.  As for George Clooney, he is also great in this movie, but for the most part, he's playing his usual charming suave self, so it's nothing you haven't seen from him before. Overall though, both performances are great, with Bullock really proving that she's a force not to mess with.

"Gravity" is the type of movie that can just about please anybody who goes to see it.  There are so many comparisons to make to this movie that it's hard to name all of them at once.  I mean, it could be compared to "Jaws" in how it can affect its audience and the way they look at the ocean, or in this case space.  It can also be compared to "2001: A Space Odyssey" in the way of how it takes us on an extraordinary trip into the horrors of space travel.  Finally, it can be compared to "The Wizard of Oz" in the way the story of how one person must find their way home is told.  The acting in this film is fantastic, particularly from Sandra Bullock.  The script, while not perfect, manages to get us invested with these astronauts and sympathize with them when something awful happens.

Director Alfonso Cuarón has proven himself to be the next Kubrick or Spielberg with this movie, in the way where it's all about the telling of the story and the imagination behind it rather than the nice special effects or the added 3D gimmick.  Speaking of 3D, there is absolutely no other way to see "Gravity."  If you see this film in 2D, you are truly missing out on one hell of an experience.  "Gravity" is a tour-de-force of filmmaking, with great acting, fantastic direction, and is overall one of the best movies of the decade thus far.
