Short Reviews

It Might Get Loud - A very well-made documentary about the electric guitar and the effects it has on three different musical legends ( Jimmy Page, The Edge from U2, and Jack White). From the Director of An Inconvenient Truth. - 
B

Paper Heart - A strange but cute mockumentary about a young woman who doesn't believe in love until she meets a boy. Starring Charlene YI and Michael Cera, this quirky little movie works for the most part because of it's endearing charm and a refreshing strange idea. 
B-
Trailer

Adam - I liked this film even though it took me a while to get into it. Hugh Dancy is very good in this movie about a man struggling with a condition that makes it hard to do things that most of us take for granted. However, where the trailers sell it as a cute romantic comedy, this movie is a lot more serious than the trailers lead on.
Grade B-

Lorna's Silence - A french film from the Dardenne Brothers, this quiet, sometimes captivating slow thriller, has some very interesting moments and is well-made but to be honest, i was left bored and underwhelmed.
C+

Gigantic - A typical quirky movie with no real plot or substance.However, John Goodman was very funny in this. Starring Paul Dano and Zooey Deschanel.  Skip It. 
C-


Last House On The Left - A sadistic, brutal, over-the-top remake. Some of the gory deaths are fun but other than that, a typically lazy remake of a classic cult film. Skip it unless you find movies like The Hills have Eyes as entertainment, which i don't.
