So, I haven't posted in a while due to a number of factors. Namely, being super busy with theatre stuff and not having a laptop for a few weeks. I will start posting reviews regularly again, but here's a little snippet regarding each of the movies I have seen since my last post.
Kick-Ass 2: Glad they made a sequel to one of my favorite superhero movies of all time, but wish they would have taken a little more time to tighten the script up. The movie is sloppy all around and manages to almost ruin the character of Hit-Girl by putting her in a Mean Girls-esque plot for the majority of the film. Also a total waste of the talents of Jim Carrey. So much potential, just didn't quite reach it in any aspects
5.5/10
You're Next: Really solid horror flick that managed to consistently balance some really creative and authentic scares with disturbingly dark humor. Not quite as original as I had hoped it would be, but still a great time at the movies
7/10
The Spectacular Now: A really nice and simple love story featuring two amazing performances from Miles Teller and Shailene Woodley. One of only two movies so far this year that has made me shed tears in the theater. There was a slightly misogynistic tone throughout the film that prevented me from loving it, but overall, it was sweet and heartfelt enough to almost make up for its flaws
7.5/10
Gravity- This is one of the most beautifully shot films I have ever seen. I saw it in IMAX, which I NEVER do. Surprisingly transcendent and really cool to look at. Unfortunately, the script left a lot to be desired and the overall plot of the movie did not really do anything for me. More of a one-time viewing experience for me. See it for the visuals but do not expect to be enlightened or moved in any significant way
10/10 for the visuals
5/10 for the rest of the movie
7.5 overall
I think that is about it. Thank you for your patience
