2012 Movie Round Up

Hey all,

SUPER long time since I've posted.  Lame-o.  I moved and whatnot, so I feel like that was a part of my delinquency.  Anyway.  I've seen bunches o' movies and listened to bunches o'songs since then.  I've decided to review those Twitter style.  Aka I literally opened Twitter and restricted my comments for each review to 140 characters (except for the stars--sorry, only human).  This will be interested (read: boring).  Starting with movies, music to follow...

Movies

Beasts of the Southern Wild

Beauty of a film.  Wallis is a superstar.  Lots of crabs (Not the sex kind).  Definitely see twice to appreciate.  Craving alligator now?

Rating: 5/5 stars

Pitch Perfect

Rebel Wilson is my hero.  Great one liners, but will it be funny in a second viewing?  Debatable.  Crazy vomit scene, tho.  Plus in my book.

Rating: 3/5 stars

Safety Not Guaranteed  

Stars April from Parks&Rec.  'Nuff said.  But I still have lots of characters left, which are now wasted instead of used to praise this gem.

4.5/5 stars

Looper

SEE IT SEE IT SEE IT SEE IT SEE IT SEE IT SEE IT SEE IT SEE IT SEE IT SEE IT SEE IT SEE IT SEE IT SEE IT SEE IT SEE IT SEE IT SEE IT SEE IT

Rating: 5/5 stars

For a Good Time Call...

Cute (in a super sexually explicit way).  Expected more bite and humor, but I felt ok.  Ari Graynor is my new favorite ever.

Rating: 2.5/5 stars

Bachelorette

Not cute (in a sexually explicit way) but bitingly funny--almost uncomfortably.  Rebel Wilson is a plus.  Not enough James Marsden nudity.

Rating: 2.5/5 stars

The Dark Knight Rises

Hathaway steals the show.  Issues with ending stop a higher rating, but still awesome.  Action is sweet.  Worst Cotillard performance ever.

Rating: 3.5/5 stars

The Avengers

The other huge superhero movie of the summer.  Joss Whedon is a God--pulling this off so well.  Tony Stark was the most entertaining, IMO

Rating: 3.5/5 stars

Perks of Being a Wallflower

Ezra Miller has the greenlight.  The butt greenlight.  Moved--but more by subject matter than movie craftsmanship?  Either way, great.

Rating: 4/5 stars
