Can't miss with Spielberg and Hanks
on March 5, 2016
Posted by: FilmFun
from Medford, MA
Verified Purchase:Yes
The Bridge of Spies, directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Tom Hanks, tells the story of a spy swap between the US and the USSR during the Cold War. Hanks plays an everyman American lawyer recruited by his country to negotiate the swap. The story develops slowly, almost too slowly, but as the movie builds, so does the tension. Spielberg is a master at these types of stories, and Hanks a master at these types of characters. But it's Mark Rylance's Oscar-winning performance as the Soviet spy that captivates. A great story inspired by true events, a great director, and a terrific cast. Don't miss this film!

Tragedy at the Top of the World
on February 19, 2016
Posted by: FilmFun
from Medford, MA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Everest is the dramatic story of the May, 1996 disaster atop Mt. Everest, when 2 guided mountaineering expeditions met a sudden storm near the summit with tragic consequences. The movie does a great job at recreating the tension and drama of the event. It questions the wisdom of guided expeditions, the pressure to get the clients to the top, the role of Sherpas in this enterprise, and all of the resulting poor decisions and bad judgment resulting from conflicting objectives. The photography is amazing. With a few exceptions, character development is rather light. But overall, a worthwhile movie. Although the movie does not give credit, it is based on the popular book Into Thin Air.

An Incredible Story of Survival
on February 12, 2016
Posted by: FilmFun
from Medford, MA
Verified Purchase:Yes
The Martian puts a new twist on the "survival after accident in space" story. Mistakenly left for dead on the surface of Mars by his crew mates, astronaut/biologist Mark Watney (ably played by Matt Damon) must solve a myriad of problems to have any hope of survival and, ultimately, rescue. Meanwhile, the folks back on Earth, and in the Mars-Earth spacecraft, have to solve just as many problems to mount a rescue mission with only the slimmest hopes of success. An excellent script, top-notch photography, a terrific cast, and brilliant directing by one of America's best (Ridley Scott) make this an adventure not to miss!

Pitch Perfect is one of those guilty pleasures that you won't mind having. It's great fun following the Barton Bellas a capella singing group as they journey from miserable to marvelous. Anna Kendrick does a great job as Becca, who enters the a capella world reluctantly but emerges as a transformative fount of musical creativity. Rebel Wilson provides some great humor thanks to her "pitch perfect" delivery. The writing is sharp and the music fun in this delightful film.

A Rodgers & Hammerstein classic!
on November 5, 2015
Posted by: FilmFun
from Medford, MA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Singing! Dancing! Romancing! Oklahoma! What's not to like? (except maybe a rather long slow sequence in the middle of the movie featuring Rod Steiger's nasty character Jud). It's a great musical with at least four hit songs and two Oscars (Sound Recording and Scoring). Oh what a beautiful movie!

The Avengers are back at work!
on November 5, 2015
Posted by: FilmFun
from Medford, MA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Just when the Marvel-ous world-protecting team of the Avengers thinks they can take a bit of a vacation, along comes Ultron. An experiment in artificial intelligence of Tony Stark's gone horribly wrong, Ultron turns on his creators and wreaks havoc on mankind. In continuous action-packed, special-effects sequences, the Avengers battle Ultron to the death. Oh, and The Hulk and Black Widow fall in love. Gotta throw a bone to the ladies, I guess.

Fury Road-not to be confused with Pleasant Avenue
on November 5, 2015
Posted by: FilmFun
from Medford, MA
Verified Purchase:Yes
This revival of the Mad Max franchise is set in a post-apocalyptic world that is violent and ugly in all aspects. In this dystopia, most people are slaves to warlords, although a few remaining beautiful women are kept as breeder slaves. It is these slaves that Furiosa (Charlize Theron) sets out to free. The ensuing chase and road war show Charlize in a character unlike anything she has ever played before, and she's terrific. The action is non-stop yet does not overshadow a sensitive plot. A movie not to miss!

A thrilling journey thru a not-so-Amusement Park
on November 5, 2015
Posted by: FilmFun
from Medford, MA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Jurassic World starts off by showing what Jurassic Park was trying to become. Only now that the vision has become a reality, the visiting public is bored and wants bigger, stronger, scarier. Well, that's what they get, and end up being sorry they asked for it. This action-packed movie is the ultimate Man vs. Dino epic with a real embodiment of Frankenstein's Monster, although instead of using lightning, they use gene splicing. Although somewhat derivative of the original classic, it's updated in such a way that it all feels fresh again, and just as thrilling.

A Carthatic Journey Into Nature
on July 25, 2015
Posted by: FilmFun
from Medford, MA
Verified Purchase:Yes
"Wild", based on a true story and autobiography of the same name, relates the tale of a young woman with a troubled life trying to put her emotional baggage in the past and make a new beginning by completing a monumental hike (with tons of real baggage) along the Pacific Coast. Reese Witherspoon does an excellent job portraying the troubled woman, with plenty of comic overtones as she, an admitted "city girl", struggles with basic (and advanced) camping skills. A great story has become a great movie. Look for the author's cameo!

Guardians of Which Galaxy?
on April 25, 2015
Posted by: FilmFun
from Medford, MA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Well, here's another odd assortment of characters from Marvel. An orphan from Earth, a green babe, a genetically enhanced raccoon, an all-muscle-short-on-brains tattooed baldy, and a sentient plant. Why the heck not, they're a load of fun and come together awkwardly but nicely as a team. They fight the forces of evil from obtaining a galaxy-crushing device, and don't take themselves too seriously while doing it. That's what makes this movie work - its sense of humor about itself. Give it a chance and I'm sure you'll be marvelously entertained!
