I decided to try something new. I don't have time to review every movie I see, so I thought I'd give a quick rating and one to two sentence thoughts on movies I had seen during the month of March.....
We Need To Talk About Kevin
One of my top five favorite films of last year.
Rating: A
The Skin I Live In
Had I gone into this film not knowing anything about it, I would have said, "This has to be an Almodovar film!" And alas he lives up to his reputation.
Rating: A
Martha Marcy May Marlene
As Seth Rogen said it best about this Olsen sister: "Where were they hiding her? She's the best one!"
Rating: A-
The Ides of March
This is why I love movies, they can make me care about politics. Nothing original, but very pleasantly surprised.
Rating: A-
Bonnie and Clyde
Before Jay-Z and Beyonce there was the stunning Faye Dunaway and gorgeous Warren Beautty living the unglamorous gangster life.
Rating: A-
My Week With Marilyn
Don't care for Ms. Monroe, but did like the film.
Rating: B+
21 Jump Street
Channing Tatum, funny? Yes.
Rating: B+
School Daze
A both funny and serious film. I dare you not to be inspired!
Rating: B+
Take Shelter
Not quite as good as I was expecting, but a great performance by Shannon kept me satiated.
Rating: B+
True Romance
As close to a romance Tarantino will ever write. But seriously, my thought during the whole film: "Holy shit! Was that Gary Oldman?"
Rating: B+
Senna
Formula One isn't my thing, but a very nicely done documentary.
Rating: B
Young Adult
Not quite sure what I was expecting, but found it a little lackluster. Thankfully, the end made up for most of it. Love films that explore psychological issues.
Rating: B
The Hunger Games
Overall a faithful film adaptation of the book and can't wait for the next installation in the series.
Rating: B-
Scream
No, I have never seen Scream before! Now that I have, did you guys know this movie's kinda ingenious?
Rating: B-
Carnage
The play is better.
Rating: C+
