- DirectorWoody AllenStarsOwen WilsonRachel McAdamsKathy BatesWhile on a trip to Paris with his fiancée's family, a nostalgic screenwriter finds himself mysteriously going back to the 1920s every day at midnight.For some reason I thought that Phillip Seymor Hoffman was in this. I have never liked Owen Wilson in any film...ever. He was always the guy I had to sit through until the movie continued. I also was unaware that Woody Allen had any part of this film. Apparently I thought I was watching a totally different movie before it started. I do think that i enjoyed it more not knowing what it was about going into it. I found it to be highly entertaining sparked by the woody allenness 8/10
- DirectorJoseph CedarStarsShlomo Bar-AbaLior AshkenaziAliza RosenEliezer and Uriel Shkolnik are father and son as well as rival professors in Talmudic Studies. When both men learn that Eliezer will be lauded for his work, their complicated relationship reaches a new peak.
- DirectorSteven SpielbergStarsJeremy IrvineEmily WatsonDavid ThewlisA young farm boy enlists to serve in World War I after his beloved horse is sold to the cavalry. His hopeful journey takes him out of England and onto the front lines as the war rages on.if the first 50 minutes was only 20, we're looking at one of the top films ever made. since the first 50 minutes was indeed 50 minutes of dragging backstory that was more than unnecessary, we arent even looking at the best film of the year. Its upsetting becauser the rest of the movie was thoroughly enjoyable. all the side stories, the battle scenes, all of it beautiful to watch. sad that they felt the need to create something that had no purpose to the film. around an 8/10
- DirectorNeil BurgerStarsBradley CooperAnna FrielAbbie CornishA mysterious pill that enables the user to access 100% of his brain's abilities transforms a struggling writer into a financial wizard, but it also puts him in a new world with many dangers.liked the bad guys, liked the good guys and for the first time in a while liked deniro. didnt feel like i wasted my time watching a movie. 7.5/10

- DirectorGore VerbinskiStarsJohnny DeppIsla FisherTimothy OlyphantRango is an ordinary chameleon who accidentally winds up in the town of Dirt, a lawless outpost in the Wild West in desperate need of a new sheriff.my second (maybe third?)favourite computer animated film. solid 7.5
- DirectorTom McCarthyStarsPaul GiamattiAmy RyanJeffrey TamborA struggling lawyer and volunteer wrestling coach's chicanery comes back to haunt him when the teenage grandson of the client he has double-crossed comes into his life.impressed. i pretty much blindly like anything giamatti does (mostly cause of his dad...and his acting) but besides that, its just a nice movie. the kid was good, not amazing, but believable in the role which is more important. i think my favorite thing about the film is that they didnt give him some bs high school romance crap. i felt good after watching it. 7/10
- DirectorEli CraigStarsTyler LabineAlan TudykKatrina BowdenAffable hillbillies Tucker and Dale are on vacation at their dilapidated mountain cabin when they are mistaken for murderers by a group of preppy college students.
- DirectorRoland EmmerichStarsRhys IfansVanessa RedgraveDavid ThewlisThe theory that it was in fact Edward De Vere, Earl of Oxford, who penned Shakespeare's plays. Set against the backdrop of the succession of Queen Elizabeth I and the Essex rebellion against her.thought i wouldnt be able to stand this, as i cant stand period pieces from this time period. I was simply intrigued by the story so i thought it was worth possibly wasting 2 plus hours of my life. Did turn out to be quite enjoyable and was amazed that such a long movie wasnt filled with alot of filler. around a 7/10

If your movie is like TAxi Driver, you wouldnt say its like Taxi Driver, because it would be quite un-Taxi Driver of them. He's just not as good as Deniro. between a 7-7.5/10...closer to a seven because its just not as good as...Taxi Driver
