I apologize for my absence in advance but i've been really busy over the past 2 weeks. Over the past 2 weeks also, I have seen 2 movies that I can honestly say are front runners for my favorite film of 2012. And we're only in Febuary! Be warned these may be really long.
The first film is The Grey:
Going into this, I wasn't expecting much. But when i came out, I was blown away.The story centers around survivors of a plane wreck stranded in Alaska. Lead by John Ottoway (played by Liam Neeson), these survivors must try to survive and get back home, while also avoiding a pack of wolves. This was an intense thrill ride that had me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. I also loved what they did with the characters. These characters to start out with are detestable. But as the film goes along, you start to have feelings for them as we learn more about them. In fact, some of my favorite scenes in the film are when we learn about these people. Overall, this is a fantastic movie. The acting is great, the characters are well developed, the suspense is bountiful, the direction and production designs are just breathtaking, it's just great. Great movie, great time, give it a watch.
I give it 4 stars out of 5
The next film is Chronicle
Likewise with The Grey, I wasn't expecting much when I went in. But I came out amazed. The film centers around a unpopular teenager named Andrew who videotapes his life. One night, He and some friends come across a meteor that gives them the powers of telekenisis and flight. You would think that they decide that they want to be superheros right away right? Wrong. They do what any teenager would do with superpowers; have fun with them. Unfortunatly, Andrew slow slips to the dark side because of his miserable life. I loved how realistic this film was and how well developed and 3-dimensional these characters were. Steve is the popular kid, Matt(andrew's cousin) is the average joe, and andrew is the unpopular kid. I felt so sorry for andrew because he doesn't deserve any of the bad things in his life, and I also was very impressed that even though this film was made for 15 million, The visual effects were breathtaking; Especially the scene when the teens were flying, it looked so realistic. Overall, Chronicle is one of the best superhero films I have seen in my life. This can take it's place up there with Spider-man, The Dark Knight, X-men and others. To all other superhero movies coming out this year, Be warned you have some serious competition up ahead.
I give this 4 1/2 stars out of 5
This is Taylor Hudson reminding you that if it's movies you want it's me you need.
ooh man do my fingers hurt
