Oblivion (I) (2013)
5/10
Oh Movies
22 April 2013
Respect to the craft. they built a real spaceship (basically). Acting was great. Visuals divine. twist and turns i can appreciate. Let us agree there can only be one inception. Complicating a movie does automatically give it a certain level of sophistication. It is a predictable movie in many aspects, and the other half is simply confusing. It is not a movie that you are likely to think about twice, or remember throughout time. It has a story though, it has a cast. Nevertheless, as i usually say i am a big fan of "find out yourself." who knows for you it just might be your movie of the year. The main advantage i suppose is that it does indeed keep you guessing.

And then they made Spring Breakers!!!
22 April 2013
I love love love movies. It goes without saying that I expect a lot when i go to the theaters. Every so often the directors try to sale an idea, even though skeptical some of us are always willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. I can honestly say while i had no expectations of Spring Breakers, what a Waste. Spring Breakers broke my heart in so many different ways. While i can applaud the effort, this was just not for me. I captured the coming of age motif, the underlining themes. Nevertheless, it was an utter disaster in my opinion, It was hard to like it, the actresses seemed out of place. It was just rash, it left me unimpressed. I am big FAN of "find out for yourself."

Oh Well
22 April 2013
I don't even know where to begin. I suppose when there is money to spare, it is alright to do what you fancy. If you love action packed films with little to no emotional impact that is your movie. The movie failed to convey any of the feelings that are hinted in the story. furthermore, the humor was barely there. while some scenes were great, the ensemble was just Blah. Personally I love a great story, a tear jerker at times, and definitely coherence. Unfortunately, while their were some great shot they were just that. Multiple action shots put together, with "beautiful" women kicking "asses." There isn't much to say about it. 5/10 for visuals, and soundtrack.

The Host (2013)
7/10
It was not really Twilight
22 April 2013
Let us establish some facts here 1)The host is not twilight 2) Saoirse Ronan is not Kristen Stewart and 3) (Melanie / Wanda), well we can argue that point, is Bella 3.0t. If I had seen this movie first i would have definitely liked it more than twilight. I love the psychological play in the movie, i liked the story, but I really really really loved Saoirse Ronan in that role. She played it marvelously well, and the director did a great job portraying her two personalities. I can't tell you what it was missing yet; I am not getting payed for this so i am allowed to not know. I encourage you to see it, I was pleasantly surprised. It is a solid 7/10 for me.

Beautifully Awkward
22 April 2013
I really liked the perks of being a wallflower. I loved that it was awkward, I loved that it was flawed. the details melted my heart, the silly moments, the almost kisses brought me back to high school. The glorious moments in the missed opportunities, and the mistakes made it all real for me. The heartache was genuine, the dreams were ideal and raw so yes i liked the perks of being a wild flower. Moreover, i liked that it was a coming of age movie. it was simple, not exaggerated, borderline real. The only thing i missed was the magic that connects me to the movies, just missed it barely but it just was not enough. I love movies but very few resonate with the romantic skeptic in me.
