Tangled (2 viewings): The perfect Renaissance for Disney that combined the old feel of their films with the modern cinematic world. 10/10 (More on this later)
Blue Valentine: So depressing even in the happiest moments. A depressing look on love that is carried by Ryan Gosling although Michelle Williams is also impressive 10/10
Les Amours Imaginaires: Xavier Dolan makes such beautiful films and this one left me feeling good at the end. His performance enhanced the film tremendously. 10/10
Waking Sleeping Beauty: The subject matter is a favorite of mine but there’s nothing too remarkable about the film. It’s just a well told story with interesting footage. 8/10
Broken Embraces: My first experience with Pedro Almodovar was a beautiful one with a rich story, fabulous performances and all the visual splendor I expected. 10/10
Harry Potter 7: Part 1 (Second Viewing): Didn’t improve, in fact I just got bored quicker. It would be fabulous if they had included a plot in this movie. 7.5/10
The King’s Speech: Good but nothing special. The performances were good, especially Helena Bonhem Carter but other than that, I was not impressed. 8/10
Somewhere: A huge disappointment with the only shining light being the talented Elle Fanning. Stephen Dorf’s career should not have been resurrected. 6/10
Vicky Cristina Barcelona: Passionate study of love with a million fantastic performances and the most beautiful setting. This bodes well for my opinion of Woody Allen. 10/10
No Strings Attached: A hilarious and very cute romantic comedy that fared better than most of the crap released around this time. Natalie Portman is a true star. 8.5/10
