The Perks of being a Wallflower, Breakfast club fans will love it

A lot of critics have comnpared this film to John Hughes type movies.
It was much darker than any of those.
If you like Breakfast Club you will love this, its very well written and acted.

Its takes place in the mid-late 80's, so us folks in their 40's will love the music.
Lots of Smiths and other alternative band from the 80's.
Emma Watson as the love interest was outstanding, damn she is one cute girl!
Ezra Miller is fantastic as supporting actor. Oscar worthy in my opinion.

I laughed a bunch through out the whole film, but the end was really serious.
Did not see that coming.
Its a dram-edy or dark comedy type flick.
A great movie about high school, I really enjoyed it
I give it a 7 out of 10

ARGO is good not great

All the talk about how great Argo is , was just hype.
Don't get me wrong , it was good.
It was not worth seeing on big screen--would be a GREAT rental.

It was really clever, funny, well acted, intense, true story about Iran hostage crisis of 1980.
Cool soundtrack
But it just lacked "umpff" or something. Can't put my finger on it. I think we needed more back story on the main CIA agent role played by Ben Affleck. I liked the character but didnt feel for the character.

Nice true history story. Everyone should see it.
Give it a 7.5 out of 10

Atlas Shrugged--what a waste of time

Horrible acting, horrible special effects, stupid story
2hrs of my life I am not getting back
.5 on scale of 1-10

End of Watch is best cop movie in years

I have seen alot of cop flicks, this one was terrific.

It was filmed like a reality show/ documentary, just a really cool way to shoot a cop film.
I mean there has been tons of movies about LA cops, but this one was awesome.

The chemistry between Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Pena is so good. It was funny, heart felt, dramatic.  They talk about family , falling in love, marriage, its was really engaging.
This film had it all, at one point my heart was racing, It was so intense!

But once again the chemistry between the two partners is what makes this film click.
it was a great film
