Enter the Void and City Of God.

City Of God really lives up to it's reputation.
Enter the Void was basically the trippiest movie I've ever seen. It brings a whole new meaning to the song "Lights" by Ellie Goulding :P

Mud (2012)

Two boys befriend a fugitive (Matthew McConaughey) on a deserted Mississippi River island. Really enjoyed the performances from McConaughey, Sam Shephard and Tye Sheridan as Ellis, the boy who most connects with McConaughey's character, Mud. Part Tom Sawyer, part Stand By Me, I enjoyed the story and even though the movie was a tad long, the characterizations kept me interested throughout.

parental guidance

the one with billy crystal

i watched it with a client who is a kid and im sure thats the intended demographic. but i feel like they added too many character quirks to each character and kinda over loaded them. i really didnt like this movie lol but billy crystal was actualyl very good. hes the only one who saved the movie. also marissa tomei is suuuuuch a milf id eat her butthole with a spoon. but the kid actors are bad too and for some reason i am always overly critical of kid actors lol

rating;;; D

This is the film where I realized that Matthew McConaughey has played huge trick on Hollywood. First he starts off his career by playing lovable stoner type characters and works his way right into the romantic comedies. He starts racking up money. Then out of nowhere, after he has made a security blanket of money, he starts really working on his acting skills. I loved him in Mud and he was great in Killer Joe and the Lincoln Lawyer. Hell, he was even good in Tropic Thunder. He has a role in Scorcese's next film and I expect it to be great.

I originally didn't want to watch this because I thought the base concept was far-fetched and "silly" in a way that most bad sci-fi films have in common (what some may call "low-fi".) But I put these feelings aside and soon realised it has more value as a drama/character study than a sci-fi anyway. I thought it was really good. Sparks the brain and moves the heart.

Oh, damn! It's Another Earth directed by Mike Cahill, winner of the Alfred P. Sloan Prize at Sundance Film Festival. I should've written that in my post in case of the image not showing up!

Oh, I saw a trailer for that movie a while ago and remember thinking it looked interesting. I'll definitely have to check it out.

It's fantastic. Brit Marling who stars in the film is one of my favorite people in Hollywood right now. She's a great actress and also great writer. She helped write Another Earth. Check out Sound of My Voice and The East. They're also written by her.

Zero Dark Thirty

Loved it. I mean I knew I was going to, I have a love affair with both Kathryn Bigelow and her movies and this is easily one of her best ones. I don't even know why there's controversy about this movie considering it doesn't condemn nor endorse controversial topics like torture. What it does is presents the facts as the movie understands them and then asks the audience to make up their own minds about it. Maya was an outstanding character and I loved how the film didn't make a big deal out of her gender and importance and magnitude of the mission. The recreation of the raid on Bin Laden's compound was very well done and has proven that you don't have to sacrifice realism to make things more engaging.

Easily one of the best movies of 2012.
