    Hugo (2011) Set in 1930s Paris, an orphan who lives in the walls of a train station is wrapped up in a mystery involving his late father and an automaton. Magical! Mashed up with steampunk fantasy elements. Legendary director Martin Scorsese gives us a “fun for all ages” film. 1920 Paris! Hugo, played by Asa Butterfield, is a young boy who secretly manages the train stations’ clock and obsesses to repair a shiny robot, the only thing he has left of his deceased father. On his tail is the always funny Sasha Baron Cohen, the authority figure with a bum leg. Show me your smile. Wait, there’s more! Ben Kingsley plays the toymaker, with a cinematic secret. Christopher Lee as the librarian. Ray Winstone as the drunk and Jude Law as Hugos dad! Holy crap, what a cast! Hitgirl Chloë Moretz befriends the boy and the adventure begins. Together they unearth the toymakers sad past leading the story towards the early days of motion pictures!!! WOW! This was a delightful surprise - my enthusiasm for the film (at the beginning) was at a low, thinking (i was under the impression) this was another sappy CGI kiddie flick. I was way off… Thankfully i was able to catch this wonderful movie. TRIVIA: Hugo is Martin Scorsese’s first film in 3D. The flashbacks superbly done and the rocket to the moon made me smile.  Hugo is a blatant love letter to the early days of cinema. I Enjoyed every bit of it. The steampunk gears, bolts and screws were the cherry on top, of this cinematic treat. Finally! A family film that hits the nail on the head.

    Take Shelter (2011) Plagued by a series of apocalyptic visions, a young husband and father questions whether to shelter his family from a coming storm, or from himself. Written and directed by Jeff Nichols. Whats wrong with daddy? An apocalyptic psychological thriller with badass acting by the “ever so creepy faced” Michael Shannon! His loving wife is beautifully played by Jessica Chastain. Doubt versus trust - a hard mountain to climb in a relationship. Two solid hours of asking yourself - is he mad or gifted? The cinematography builds an eerily and yet beautiful atmosphere. I watched this on a gloomy sunday afternoon = PERFECT. And even more, it rained while i was viewing this.Uncertainty dominates this dramatic thriller. Slow paced but carries with it some realistic fear. It can happen.  And for a moment there i paused… “Is he gonna do IT???” the killer inside me woke up towards the chilling end. Potential rationale for a psychotic madman doing what he must.  The social issues are also a dominant trait of this film. Mock “the warning” but prepare to embrace it’s cruel force. The ending was as it should be. Wonderful. It makes you think and reflect on the recent environmental tragedies that have hit humanities shores. Tension you could cut with a knife.

    Shame (2011) Brandon is a New Yorker who shuns intimacy with women but feeds his desires with a compulsive addiction to sex. When his wayward younger sister moves into his apartment stirring memories of their shared painful past, Brandon’s insular life spirals out of control. A Marvelous display of skin and sin! Directed by Steve McQueen (III) - and shot in 25 days. The acting was truly admirable, and so were the impromptu one-shot takes. Michael Fassbender was AWESOME! His star is growing bigger and brighter every time he graces the screen. And to do what he did here… Solid! His sister, played by, Carey Mulligan was terrific! Troubled chicks turn me on (gentlemen? we prey on the weak). Strength and weakness. The balance of sanity versus desire is toppled when she steps in. The siblings share an odd relationship…  TRIVIA: The scene where Brandon hears his sister sing in the restaurant was shot in real time. James Badge Dale and Michael Fassbender had never heard Carey Mulligan sing before so their reactions were real. The scene was shot at 3 a.m in the morning with cameras focused on all 3 performers at the same time.  The performance of “New York, New York” was amusing and set the tone perfectly. Sultry and somber at the same time. *Why did i chose to use THIS POSTER? It says a lot about the film. Ichi the Killer (2001) anyone? Sperm. Slow and drawn out to the very end. It’s all about sex and the relationship between siblings and unmentionables. Threesome?!? Yes please.  Some have mentioned that “nothing really happens in the film”- i beg to differ. Discouraged by life’s many problems, some of us find solace and comfort in the arms of others. Especially when they trigger arousal or a temporary escape from their mediocre/boring lives. Sex is FUN! And it can also be destructive, never underestimate the power of Lust. Dialogue? as the saying goes actions (film/photos) speak a thousand words. The movie draws empathy from it’s viewers and radiates moral decisions we all make for ourselves as individuals.  Produced well and possibly an award winner. This controversial flick will definitely come across fire from both sexually open and closed individuals. The battle of content begins! The “scenes” were great! It’s a mindgame, played exclusively by our leading man. We join him on a journey of discovery and acceptance of desires. Not the film you thought it’d be?   Shame on… who?

    Roadie (2011) After 20 years on the road with Blue Oyster Cult, Jimmy Testagros returns to his hometown to life with his ailing mother. Complications arise when he falls for an old friend, who is now married to his longtime nemesis. A different Rock & Roll film! Ron Eldard stars in this Indie-esque story of Rock & Roll. Bobby Cannavale and Jill Hennessy are cokehead douchebags - superb casting. High school reunions are the best. It’s a semi-heartwarming story about acceptance and self-worth. We all go through “roads” in life and sometimes those roads lead to crossroads or even worse dead ends. Roadie looks into the life of a man who thought he had it all, lost it and gained self respect along the way. Pity is the main emotion expelled by this drama, with a charm that brings hope to those who have none. A simple and wholesome movie with lessons and situations viewers can relate to. Perfect for this rainy Sunday afternoon. “It was fun while it lasted” - So true.

    Jack and Jill (2011) Family guy Jack Sadelstein prepares for the annual event he dreads: the Thanksgiving visit of his twin sister, the needy and passive-aggressive Jill, who then refuses to leave. Adam Sandler, Adam Sandler, Adam Sandler… what the FUCK happened to you? From hero to zero.

So I dove in with low expectations… i was not prepared for this CRAP. Sandler dressed up as a woman = OLD. Let’s throw in that annoying shrieking voice he always does… Damn.Lord have mercy!!! Al Pacino as himself?!? And he fucking falls for fatty Mcannoying Jill?!? How FUCKING DARE YOU! Give me a fucking break - of that crack you guys are smoking. Immature, stupid, juvenile and tiresome… Avoid this movie at all costs. FUCK THIS.

    We Need To Talk About Kevin (2011) The mother of a teenage boy who went on a high-school killing spree tries to deal with her grief - and feelings of responsibility for her child’s actions. Based on the novel by Lionel Shriver. “Why would I not understand the context? I am the context.” How to create a monster. A tremendous family drama, centered on maternal love and self destruction. An absolutely engaging experience, visually and emotionally. Tilda Swinton rocked the fuck outta this one! Portraying the frustrated mother who can’t seem to get things right. We see her life slowly sucked away by her antagonist son Kevin. A smart and cunning boy with grand plans. Blind-as-a-bat husband John C. Reilly flexes his dramatic muscles. Blurring the lines of cause and effect in this suburban tragedy. The voice of reason… or is it? KEVIN! was well performed and intriguing in all ages. Ezra Miller did a spectacular job as the teen. His eyes and demeanor was frightening and yet a glimmer of light shone through those dark eyes. His younger counterparts Jasper Newell and Rock Duer swung it home. Giving life to the troubled boy. Jumps between infant, toddler, teen and current times might/may confuse some viewers at first. It will all become clear in the end. Hints and clues lead up to the heartbreaking reality. The cinematography was be-a-u-ti-fucking-ful! And the script was compelling. The grand finale was one to remember. Depressingly gorgeous and whimsically dramatic. Tough love.

    Warrior (2011) The youngest son of an alcoholic former boxer returns home, where he’s trained by his father for competition in a mixed martial arts tournament - a path that puts the fighter on a collision corner with his older brother. They’ve come to FIGHT! and FIGHT they will! MMA has come a long way from something shunned in a guilty pleasure corner, slowly inching it’s way into mainstream media. Vicious brethren foes are Tom Hardy and Joel Edgerton - both giving commendable performances. The drama and confrontations were grand and superb. Nick Nolte destroyed me with his shaky/regretful old man eyes. I almost shed a tear. The man is a living legend. WHAT??? Kurt Angle as the ultimate asskicker “KOBA”! WWE fans will love this. This surprised me with a left hook! The story had guts, the battles had glory and in the end my heart was full. Hope, Love, Respect and Pride are all put in a ring and guarantee to entertain. Wanna fight? You got it!

    Our Idiot Brother (2011) A comedy centered on an idealist who barges into the lives of his three sisters. WILLIE NELSOOOOON!!!! As the saying goes “Nice guys finish…” Naivety, honesty and good will towards - becomes the butt of the joke. Those damn filthy hippies! Paul Rudd plays “the dude” aka “ghandi” aka “my bro” in the Rudd way we all know and love. That stupid face, it amazes and amuses. The women… THE BABES! aka sisters Elizabeth Banks, Emily Mortimer, Zooey Deschanel and her main squeeze Rashida Jones = testes exploding!!! Cuties, lezzzbians and bitches surround our hapless hero. Let’s not forget the asshole, Steve Coogan. Who gives us a “peek” of his diamonds. The story was a bit shallow, but had current cultural/situational relevance. Guys ad gals will like this. Not a “HAHA!” comedy… a pleasant one. A film with good intentions morals and love for family. It’s got heart. Laughs for mature audiences. We are all evil and have to be reminded of the simpler things in life. Love to live and live to love.

    The Change-Up (2011) A comedy in which a married father accidentally switches bodies with his best friend, leading to a series of wildly complex difficulties. Poop humor with sissies and douchebags!  One has babies, the other has babes. A feel good “try wearing my shoes” comedy, for the boys men. Business minded Jason Bateman & self gratifying Ryan Reynolds are the pals who get in over their heads “wishing” for change. When they get their wish… balls are shaved! A somewhat typical scenario we’ve seen in many films - usually where an adult and child switch places/age. The ladies… oh the ladies. Olivia Wilde gets hot and sexy, as the ravenous co-worker. And Leslie Mann “I’m starvin… let’s get some fuckin french toast!” is my dream wife. The ladies rocked it! BUT when i did some research… LIES!!! ALL LIES!!! F.U. Hollywood!!! -> TRIVIA: Most of the female nudity is not real. Computer-generated breasts were used for Leslie Mann and Olivia Wilde. An enjoyable comedy about responsibilities and reflection. We sometimes stray from the path we have chosen to try and see the “what ifs”. Let’s learn from each other. Careful where you pee.

    Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark (2010) A young girl sent to live with her father and his new girlfriend discovers creatures in her new home who want to claim her as one of their own. A remake of Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark (1973), presented by Guillermo del Toro. Presented. Monsters in the basement! A creepy crawly tale about a little girl and evil critters. New home, new adventures. A young girl and her family move into an old mansion/house, they find a basement, the girl is terrorized by the fiends - which is mistaken for dementia, and finally the creatures attack! Bailee Madison was great as Sally. The fear in her eyes and screams were convincing. This kid is gonna be great. Katie Holmes is back! and i wasn’t annoyed. Playing dad is the ever so talented Guy Pearce. Great cast! This was like a Disney horror. The scares weren’t frightening… this was more of a fantasy thriller. Adding the tale about of the tooth fairy creatures made it interesting, and was very del Toro. The CGI work was ok (obviously a step up from the original costumed ghouls). This is the 1st full length feature of director Troy Nixey. A mediocre debut… It’s a fairytale horror made for kids. As a viewer i was satisfied with the results, as a horror fan… i was disappointed.

    Crazy, Stupid, Love. (2011) A father’s life unravels while he deals with a marital crisis and tries to manage his relationship with his children. Love… oh love… Wholesome and funny! I expected this to be a typical romantic comedy, it its, and it turned out to be a funny one. This film tackled relationship issues all ages can relate to. Comedy savant Steve Carell leads the pack as the sad bastard who has to pick up the pieces and is in desperate need of help. He was amazing as the counterpart of the ever so gorgeous Julianne Moore. Ryan Gosling rocked the suave bachelor role really well. Romantic comedy princess Emma Stone is blossoming by the day, another one for the books. “Poor guy” Kevin Bacon gets the short end of the ugly stick. WHAT??? Josh Groban? My oh my… Marisa Tomei as the crazy cute 8th grade english teacher. Lovely! in a psycho way. You never forget those… A family friendly romantic flick with some snickers and goofs about camaraderie and parenting. Love is not easy. One of the best romantic comedies of 2011.

    Real Steel (2011) Set in the near future, where robot boxing is a top sport, a struggling promoter feels he’s found a champion in a discarded robot. During his hopeful rise to the top, he discovers he has an 11-year-old son who wants to know his father. Fighting robots!!! When i saw the trailer i instantly laughed out loud. And it made me remember a childhood toy: Rock Em Sock Em Robots! A family film that’ll knock you off the living room couch. It’s directed by Shawn Levy, the man responsible for Night at the Museum 1 & 2. I think we ALL know what to expect. Hugh Jackman stars in this father & son sci-fi. Can’t stop seeing Wolverine!!! The boxing bits made him look “cool” but overall his character was a douche. The main story reminded me of so many “fatherly” films. I loathe the kid… what a brat. 11 yrs old?!? really? I posted the trailer sometime back and got a reply in regards to the story… Boxing robots, just like in Twilight Zone: Steel (1963). Which was based on a short story by Richard Matheson: I Am Legend (2007), What Dreams May Come (1998), Duel (1971), Stir of Echoes (1999) and The Box (2009). A gigantic film with heart. Big budget 3D movie i’d settle with at home. The CGI work was brilliant, but the design of the robots were “kiddie” and simple. The history of robot fighting was believable enough to convince me of this type of future. I rode the fun. Ridiculously convenient coincidences… Overall it was as expected. Simple enough for kids to get, while giving adults a sneaky uppercut about parenthood.
