Moonrise Kingdom
(2012, Wes Anderson)
Bloody brilliant. Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. Great story-- great performances. Wes Anderson is still the hope for American movies. Writing by Roman Coppola and Wes Andersen. Jared Gilman and Kara Hayward are wonderful. The score/ soundtrack is stellar. This film is Double Punchy goodness in the spirit of Judy Blume and other classic voices. (7/7)
Moonrise Kingdom
The Amazing Spiderman
(2012, Marc Webb)
Okay so I thought (500) Days of Summer was mostly bad but director Marc Webb pulls of The Amazing Spiderman. Very entertaining reboot. Worth watching for Spidey fans especially if you like Sara Pichelli's artwork. Far more true to the canonical ideas of Spiderman-- really dynamic and believable performance by Andrew Garfield. Great stunts and fight choreographic and decent FX. (6/7)
Amazing Spiderman
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter
(2012, Timur Bekmambetov)
I liked Nightwatch and Daywatch and I thought aspects of Wanted were cool but this movie, while enjoyable, I felt lacked Bekmambetov's usual flair and verve. Felt under budgeted somehow. Some solid ideas and effects with a screenplay by the writer of the novel. If they blew the adaptation it he shares the blame. Rufus Sewell is always a great bad guy. (5/7)
