I got lazy and started writing my movie reviews on my One-Sentence Review blog, and then I got even lazier and stopped doing that. I DID however, keep track of the movies I saw that were 2012 theatrical releases (thus eligible for the 2013 Academy Awards). <br />

<br />
This is a lovely documentary about a cowboy named "Buck," who holds training clinics for horses and people with horses. He "breaks" colts in a NICE, RESPECTFUL way, rather than being violent or using fear to get them to obey. He is so connected with the horses. The documentary is largely about Buck and his life, but there are also some heartbreaking horse stories. I might have cried.<br />
<br />
I highly recommend this movie. Though I am vegan and have some opinions about "using" horses, Buck's story is an interesting and heartfelt one, and the film is just really well-made.<br />

Starring: Owen Wilson, Rachel McAdams, Marion Cotillard<br />
Directed/Written by: Woody Allen<br />
<br />
I don't usually like Woody Allen all that much, but this was pretty cute. It has a very clear message: everyone wishes they could live back in "the good old days." It's great hipster commentary on blind nostalgia. Owen Wilson is the perfect "Woody Allen." A much BETTER Woody Allen, I think. Rachel McAdams is a bitch, which I love. It brings me back to her Mean Girls days. Marion Cotillard is so gorgeous I want to cry. <br />
<br />
All in all, a cute movie for literary types. If you are annoyed by pretentious literary stuff, don't see it.<br />

Starring: Kristen Wiig, Rose Byrne and Maya Rudolph<br />
<br />
This movie is so freaking funny. I saw it twice. It's heartfelt, wonderfully cast, and has some of the funniest scenes I have ever seen. The characters are very relatable, and although it seems like a chick flick, there's enough ridiculous raunch for dudes to love it, too.<br />

<br />
This is a Disney documentary about a family of cheetahs and a couple of lion prides. It is narrated by Samuel L. Jackson, and I really wanted him to talk about "muthafucking African cats," but he didn't. It's beautifully shot, but it's also really cheesy, manipulative, and anthropomorphic. Please, don't speak for animals. Just don't. <br />
<br />
It's really amazing what high-tech cinematography can do these days, though!<br />

Starring: Emma Roberts, Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox<br />
<br />
I liked this so much!!! I saw it twice. It was so much fun, especially for movie-lovers. There were great references to the original Scream Trilogy, which I love, and it was very self-reflexive about horror movie conventions. This is exactly what you want in a teen horror flick. Campy and scary and even downright funny!<br />
<br />

Starring: Seth Rogan, Simon Pegg, Nick Frost<br />
Directed by: Greg Mottola<br />
<br />
I liked this more than most British-y Simon Pegg/Nick Frost movies, but it was really lackluster. It was trying too hard to be sweet, and therefore failed, in my opinion, to be funny. <br />

Starring: Matthew McConaughey, Ryan Phillipe, Marisa Tomei, William H. Macy<br />
<br />
This movie was fine. Pretty much like watching a movie version of Damages/Law and Order. Interesting enough for TV, but not really movie-worthy. And the fact that his office is his car has nothing to do with anything, except for giving a role to a kindly, young black man, who plays his driver.<br />

<br />
This is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. I have nothing positive to say about it. Fucking OOO-RAH.<br />

Starring: Daniel Craig, Olivia Wilde, Harrison Ford<br />
Directed by: Jon Favreau<br />
Written by: Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman<br />
<br />
I did not have high hopes for this movie, given its name, but I was pleasantly surprised. The first 45 minutes or so were really good at setting up the rest of the movie. It really established a campy Western feel, and Daniel Craig was the perfect, rough-around-the-edges, lonely cowboy. He's pretty damn rugged and sexy. <br />
<br />
Unfortunately, the movie kind of lost me once the aliens came around. I was much more interested in the relationships between the human characters than the battle to destroy the aliens. It may have been because I was really tired, but I just kind of checked out. The cast is great, though. This is worth seeing if you want some action, sexy people, and witty Western stuff. It's a pretty well-crafted movie.<br />
<br />

Starring: Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone, Steve Carrell, Julianne Moore<br />
Directed by: Glenn Ficarra, John Requa<br />
Written by: Dan Fogelman<br />
<br />
Despite the TERRIBLE title of this movie, I really enjoyed it. It will be hard to talk about anything except how GODDAMNED SEXY Ryan Gosling is, but I shall try. Some good things about this movie:<br />
<br />
1. How GODDAMNED SEXY EVERYTHING ABOUT RYAN GOSLING IS. My friends and I were literally moaning and "Oh my God-ing" through much of this movie. His body. His accent. His clothes. His face. His swagger. Oh God. Oh God. To just stand in the same room as him. Oh God.<br />
<br />
2. Steve Carrell has some serious acting chops! He is so believable in this movie, and it was great to see him in a sometimes-serious role that had better dialogue than Dan In Real Life. I think Steve Carrell is one of the few actors who can be adorably awkward-funny and really heartfelt-serious in the same movie, and it is totally acceptable (take that, Robin Williams!).<br />
<br />
3. Emma Stone is really cute and funny and quirky. She wasn't in the movie as much as the trailer made it seem, but she is still a very important vehicle for the plot twists and turns. I don't know why most movies seem to try to make her out to be some sexy, gorgeous woman. She's not. She's the kind of girl you have a crush on, for sure. Not the kind of girl a cocky, sexy dude crosses the bar to try to bed. And, I MUCH prefer the former.<br />
<br />
4. Julianne Moore, who usually bugs the hell out of me, was actually very sympathetic and subdued in this movie. She didn't seem as "act-y" as usual, so good job, Julianne!<br />
<br />
5. The costume design. The clothes were very important in this movie, and whoever did the costume design had some serious fashion sense. Especially for sexy menswear. Oh GOD, RYAN GOSLING IN SUITS.<br />
<br />
6. Ryan Gosling's perfect butt.<br />
<br />
7. Unexpected events in a movie that seemed character-driven really made this a memorable film.<br />
<br />
8. Smart, realistic characters. Touching moments.<br />
<br />
Do I have anything negative to say about this movie? Sometimes I felt like it dragged a bit, but for the most part, I really recommend this, and was super-pleasantly surprised.<br />
<br />

Starring: Mila Kunis and Justin Timberlake<br />
Directed by: Will Gluck<br />
Written by: Keith Merryman<br />
<br />
I figured this would be pretty bad because of the super-cliche plot, and the fact that Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher did a version of this film called "No Strings Attached" earlier this year. Something makes me thing Mila and Natalie lost a bet on the set of Black Swan. I didn't see No Strings Attached, but I'm sure it's a slightly less sexy version of Friends With Benefits.<br />
<br />
There aren't many people I want to see have sex more than Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis. With the exception of Ryan Gosling, Justin Timberlake might be my biggest celebrity crush. And certainly, though I am 95% heterosexual, I would gladly be in a threesome with Mila Kunis. She is so adorable in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and I just think she is so fun and gorgeous.<br />
<br />
Despite the silly-yet-raunchy sex scenes, JT's beefy body, and Mila's gorgeous eyes, this movie was dreadful. I think JT and Mila are some of the most naturally charming young actors in existence, yet this screenplay seemed to suck the life out of them. This movie was filled with the trite-est of dialogue, and the "jokes" were "almost invisible grin" worthy at best. Here are two things that really bugged me about the movie:<br />
<br />
JT's character is from LA, and Mila lives in NYC. She recruits him to be the new Art Director for GQ, so he moves to New York. There are tons of super-cliche "New Yorkers walk fast" and "LA has bad traffic" jokes. The jokes don't appeal to anyone. They are too vague and obvious for those who live or have visited those cities, and too specific for those who haven't. Seems like lazy writing to me.<br />
<br />
I am also really tired of romantic comedies having characters who talk about romantic comedies. You know, "It's never like it is in the movies!" etc etc. There is even a fake rom-com that Mila's character loves that is so over-the-top (starring Jason Segal and Rashida Jones) that it would never get made. Bad bad parodies. <br />
<br />
I'm trying to decide if this movie was worth $10.50 to see JT humping and bumping with his perfect, naked ass. Maybe. But probably not. More like...$6. That seems a more appropriate of a price to watch a terrible movie with JT's naked ass.<br />

Starring Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhal<br />
<br />
Is this a movie about Viagra? The pharmaceutical industry? Healthcare? Parkinson's? Love? Answer: All of the above. Wait, isn't that a lot of subjects to take on for one movie? Answer: yes. It's also strange to see a movie set in the 90s and view it as "retro." I am so old. The 90s were awhile ago. Crap.<br />
<br />
This movie was really bad. Boring. Shallow. Confused. Unfocused. Badly written. Over-the-top. Schmaltz schmaltz schmaltz. Pity party. Really didn't like it.<br />

Directed by Clint Eastwood<br />
Starring Matt Damon<br />
<br />
This movie was PAINFULLY boring. It's basically a movie Clint Eastwood made because he's afraid of dying (which is inevitably near for him) and was trying to soothe this fear with a contrived piece of shit about the afterlife. Don't waste your time. If this gets Oscar nods just because it's Eastwood, imma be PISSED.<br />

<br />
This is a documentary that follows the lives of four babies from different places: one is from tribal Namibia, another from rural Mongolia, and two city babies from Tokyo and San Francisco. The movie is just as much about motherhood and parenting styles as it is about these individual babies. There is little dialogue--it is mostly just montages of these different babies. It may sound boring, but I tell you, it is such a delightful hour and a half. Watch it with friends and pick your favorite babies. Rank the babies. LOVE the babies. <br />
<br />
Disclaimer: If you hate babies, you probably will hate this movie.<br />

This may have been my favorite movie this year. We'll see. I saw it twice and cried both times. There's something about have grown up with Andy and becoming attached to his toys as a child that make the sentimental parts of this movie REALLY sentimental. It actually gets really intense, and no matter how old you are, you will be on the edge of your seat--unless you're a robot, in which case, fuck you, robots. <br />
<br />
I'm so sad the trilogy is over. These movies are so sweet and smart and well-crafted. I want more, but can't think of a sweeter end. I feel closure.<br />

Starring: ZAC EFRON OMGGGGG and Kim Basinger<br />
<br />
This movie should be called, Charlie St. Cloud: Ghostfucker or How I Killed My Brother. Basically, Zac Efron gets into a car crash with his little brother, his brother dies, and then he can see dead people. He visits his brother every day in the forest and plays catch with him, but then falls in love with a girl and has to say goodbye to his dead ghost brother? There's a...twist? Zac Efron cries a lot and takes his shirt off, so the movie was worth watching to me. But, if you're not into that sort of thing, don't waste your money on this schmaltzfest.<br />

It's so wrong it's right. So outlandish it's true. So dark it's funny. The character development in his films are fantastic (take that, Inception), and every time you laugh, you feel bad about yourself. Maybe you feel better about yourself because these characters are so fucked up, thus making you not that fucked up. Maybe we're laughing out of superiority. Maybe you don't think this shit is funny--just sick. Maybe you watch with horror while people like me are laughing. I mean, what else can you do when a little boy forces his underpaid, overworked Mexican nanny to clean up a juice spill moments after she receives news of her grandson's death? Or in the case of "Happiness", how do you deal with the conversation between a child molestor and his son, right after he has raped one of his son's friends? I mean, what else can you do but laugh?</div><div><br /></div><div>Solondz blows my mind. Solid screenplays, brilliant performances, and just the right balance of comedy and stark, profound, social commentary.</div><div><br /></div><div>A</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1620526199657018734.post-58376445855044280002010-07-20T00:56:00.000-07:002010-07-20T01:02:12.161-07:00Eclipse2010<div>Directed by: David Slade</div><div>Written by: Melissa Rosenberg and Mormon Idiot</div><div>Starring: Werewolves, vampires, and Kristin Stewart</div><div><br /></div><div>Oh, you know...it's a Twilight movie. It's boring. They're pretty. Eyerolls galore. I wish these movies would really GO for it, you know? Maybe it's because the story isn't interesting enough to carry a super campy style, but I think they could do it. I want more pizzazz! Even WORSE acting! Swelling scores (no more Muse, please?)! Sex (fucking Mormons)! I want to see vampire limbs get ripped off, not shatter into lame sparkly little pieces! I want to see werewolves transform back into naked teenage boys! I want to see Kristin Stewart play with her hair and I want to hear R-Patz accidentally slip into his British accent. I want the vamps to still wear purple lipstick and have contact lens lines. Where are the sassy one-liners? </div><div><br /></div><div>It's kind of like Hairspray. Or Glee. Both things I SHOULD be really into, given my susceptibility to gay shit that 12 year old girls like (BIEBER FEVER!). Both things that bore the hell out of me. They like energy. Self-reflexivity. All these teeny-bopper markets should take a cue from the High School Musical Trilogy--don't take yourself too seriously, and cheese it up! We love that! It's not like you're trying to win any Oscars. Right!?</div><div><br /></div><div>C</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1620526199657018734.post-69168577351719605132010-07-20T00:51:00.000-07:002010-07-20T00:56:18.051-07:00Drag Me To Hell2009<div>Directed by: Sam Raimi</div><div>Starring: Alison Lohman and Justin Long</div><div>Written by: Sam and Ivan Raimi</div><div><br /></div><div>I rarely enjoy movies as much as I enjoyed this one. I was in the mood for a ridiculous horror film, and ridiculous horror is what I got. This gem is full of gross-out gore and cliche gypsy superstition. There's a scary old lady with gross fingernails, some yellow mucus disease, and a propensity to curse bitchy loan officers. There's a bitchy loan officer who we are maybe supposed to like, but probably not (I was definitely hoping she would get what she deserved). Her boyfriend (Long) provides supposed comic relief, if this was a horror film and not a comedy in itself.</div><div><br /></div><div>Ladies and gentlemen, we've got a talking, possessed, evil goat who calls the protag a "Whoooooore", a puppet-master Jafar dance, projective nose/mouth blood vomit at work, and a staple gun to the gypsy's fucked up eye. What's not to love? If you're looking to be grossed out, scared, jumpy, and laugh until you cry, this is the movie for you.</div><div><br /></div><div>Take that, Shaun of the Fucking Dead.</div><div><br /></div><div>A </div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1620526199657018734.post-88355077268810016772010-06-14T11:48:00.000-07:002010-06-14T11:54:36.452-07:00Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?1966<br />Directed by: Mike Nichols<br />Starring; Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, Sandy Dennis, George Segal<br />Written by: Edward Albee<br /><br />I can't say enough good things about this movie. My roommate, Jesse, has been trying to get me to watch it for awhile, but I'm never in the mood to sit down and watch something old and depressing. He finally just turned it on one night and I was completely hooked. The screenplay (originally a play, I believe) is one of the tightest, most brilliant pieces of writing I've ever witnessed. The acting is incredible, and all four of the main characters should have won Oscars for acting (the two women did). Movies today don't understand "fucked-uppedness" like the good old days. Or maybe just like Mike Nichols does. The impending doom you feel in films like The Graduate and Virginia Woolf are overplayed today. Only Todd Solondz has achieved something similar in Happiness, in later years. Wes Anderson kind of fuckuppery is entertaining, but not as completely spooky and funny and intense as movies like Virginia Woolf. <br /><br />I can't recommend this movie enough--for the stunning cinematography, incomparable acting, and zingy, truthful one-liners. You'll feel better about yourself and worse about humankind. Thanks, Jesse!<br /><br />A+Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1620526199657018734.post-19746704851725630092010-04-07T23:02:00.000-07:002010-04-07T23:12:00.343-07:00Coraline2009<br />Directed by: Henry Selick<br />Starring: Dakota Fanning, Teri Hatcher<br /><br />I liked this SO much more than I thought I was going to. Granted, I'm in the best mood of my life. Dakota Fanning's voice was killing me for the first 20 minutes or so, but either she got better or I got used to it. It was very imaginative in a Tim Burton-y way, but lacked the snarky self-reflexivity and contrived quirk that I hate about Tim Burton movies. It was "earnest," as my awesome new roommate called it. <br /><br />I think I felt everything I was supposed to feel. A child's wonder, loneliness, fear, etc. Good job, Coraline. Favorite part: When Teri Hatcher turned into the REAL Teri Hatcher. Incredible. I wonder if that offended her. <br /><br />The music was cute, too, but very Burton. However, I liked this movie more than any Tim Burton movie I've seen, with the possible exception of Edward Scissorhands. <br /><br />B+Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1620526199657018734.post-91806126373212021192010-03-29T13:15:00.000-07:002010-03-29T13:19:55.400-07:00Network1976<br />Directed by: Sidney Lumet<br />Starring: Faye Dunaway, Robert Duvall, William Holden<br /><br />Oh, the modern era of cinema. It's my favorite. 1960-1977, I believe? Most of my favorite movies are in there somewhere. It's just getting artsy and a little risque, but still follows enough of the classic cinematography and screenplay structure to be solid films. The perfect combination.<br /><br />This movie did not disappoint. It made me angry in a good way. Some of the writing/acting in a couple stand-out scenes were the best ever. It's soooo relevant to our nation's crises today, and I think everyone should watch it. Ta-da!<br /><br />A-Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1620526199657018734.post-54895062019911225712010-03-28T23:16:00.000-07:002010-03-28T23:20:34.157-07:00Coco Before Chanel2009<br />Directed by: Anne Fontaine<br />Starring: Audrey Tautou and a bunch of Frenchies<br /><br />Audrey Tautou is a goddess. She makes me wish I didn't talk so much and had that air of mysterious, elegant, sexiness. Also, an overbite. She's so cute. This movie was worth watching, if only for the clothes and Audrey Tautou. It's a period piece love story just like any other Jane Austen-y, Bright Star, tortured love wealth status issues, but it's all about an independent woman (throw your hands up at me). <br /><br />But yeah. Cool clothes. Pretty cinematography. A nice movie for a woman on a rainy Sunday afternoon.<br /><br />B-Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3
