Screening, Screening and Screening

This somewhat has became a routine for me to attend at least a movie screening a week but oh boy I've attended 3 screenings just this past few days - not that I'm complaining. Not to mention how much easier to get into the line without bitch Olivia. *with her cursing every five second definitely was one of the factors we got cut from Captain America. Anyway, cut the crap, below are the movies I watched recently:

Crazy Stupid Love

a cheerful comedy that's less Steve Carell-ish funny but emotionally moving. Great ensemble cast: Steve Carell, RYAN GOSLING, EMMA STONE, Julianne Moore (great great acting, definitely deserves a nom for at least Golden Globe), Marisa Tomei.. very well written script with an effing surprising twisted ending.  Love every single bit of it.  (9/10)


50/50

Another actor that can do no wrong in my dictionary: Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Diagnosed with cancer at the first 10 minutes of the movie and the entire film centered on how his life turned upside down due to that. This lighthearted movie got it right most the part - actors, acting, story arc, characters, cameras, only one important issue - soundtracks. It wasn't good enough to provoke that kinda sadness or emotion the picture was trying to do. I'm kinda upset about that because it has so much potential to be better. (6.5/10)


30 Minutes or Less

The title serves the movie best - I literally feel like it was just 30 minutes or less. It has some funny moments and solid punchlines but it feels more like short film material than a long feature. A pretty refreshing story nonetheless but I found Aziz Ansari's acting and comedic timing were forced at times. Danny McBride was Danny McBride (as usual) - its all about pussies and dicks. (4.5/10)

Upcoming screenings that I most probably (or hopefully) going next week:
Rise of the Planet of Apes
Final Destination 5
Warrior

If anyone of you reading this has extra passes, you know how to contact me. :P Peace.
