Underrated
1.) Cyrus
This movie is really good. It's just real in the fact that there's not much background music or film score. Its about a miserable, divorced man who meets a woman with a 20-something year old son, with whom she shares a "mommy's boy" relationship with. Cyrus (played by Jonah Hill) is overprotective of his mom in a way that a mom German Shepard is protective of her puppies.
2.) The Wackness
I think this movie is mad dope, yo. Set in the summer of '94 in NYC, it's about this kid who just graduated from high school, yo, and he's trying find his place in the world over the summer, even if it is just with his pothead therapist, his stepdaughter, and all the other crazy fools, yo. Oh yeah, it's got a bangin' ass soundtrack too, yo, and they say the word "yo" a lot, yo.
3.) Whip it
Ellen Page does a really good job at playing the alternative teenager, but I gotta say I like this movie more than Juno. It's about this teen who really has nothing better to do, and is not good at anything, so she tries out for roller derby, eventually becoming one of the best at it. And she's trying to hid the hobby from her extremely moralistic mother. Also she meets a band member, and the best part of the movie is the fact that Drew Barrymore is in it as a young roller derby girl and the main girl doesn't get the guy in the end! Yay! misery loves company!!
4.) Date Night
This movie is hilarious in all sorts of ways. Steve Carell and Tina Fey are awesome in this movie because they're both funny, so the natural chemistry is just awesome. Plus the plot about a date night gone wrong and how many things can happen throughout the night is good too, since everything is so unexpected, seeing Steve and Tina's reaction to everything is HILARIOUS!
5.) Marie Antoinette
This is one of my favorite movies of all time, mainly because of the colors, the deserts, and the fact that it's so cross genre; normally in a historical movie they try to be more authentic. Not in this one, instead of the normal baroque music of the time being used as the film score, this film uses post-punk and new wave during significant moments in the movie. Sneaking out to a French masquerade ball where everyone's dancing to Siouxie and the Banshees?! Sofia Coppola, you are a badass for this one.
Bonus***Georgia Rule
Just because it was made during Lindsay Lohan's decline doesn't mean it wasn't good! The movie was really good if you could follow the storyline; a lot of broken hearts, family secrets coming to air and...
Lookie who we have here..
Garrett Hedlund Pre-Flynn!!! ^ ^
Overrated
1.) Titanic
I'm sorry, but all this hype about the Titanic is more obnoxious than the British royal wedding hooplah. I'm not one for love stories anyway, but seriously? The ending was kind of expected knowing that even the owner and wife of Macy's died during the events of the Titanic. Tragedy? yes, but it was very sappy.
2.) Twilight Series
I tried to watch this movie when it first came out and the thing about it, is that it's so BORING. And that Cullen kid is not even hot. Robert Pattinson is good looking, but they have so much cake-up on him that he looks like someone that should be on Intervention instead. Plus whats with all of the fucking loud breathing and Bella being miserable. Also, why is Jacob still chasing after her? I hate it when guys don't get the message.
3.) Eat, Pray, Love
So the next time I need to change my life I'm just gonna hop a plane and travel the world, is that the point, then?
4.) Any Star Wars Movie
I apologize to my fellow nerds, but no. This movie is so confusing; it's like having a dictionary that posts the alphabet like this: MLPNKOBJIVHUCGYXFTZDRZSRWAQ.
5.) Any movie about a superhero that was created for comic books in the 40's
....I rest my case.
But I am STILL campaining for that Aquaman movie. He doesn't have to be underwater ALL the time!
