When Marvel announced Guardians of the Galaxy, not many people were convinced it would be any good, including me. Talking raccoons didn't really seem like something even Marvel could pull off. As time went on, and Marvel released more movies, more trust was built with the audience. So when a trailer finally released, I found myself excited. Turns out it was for good reason too.
David O. Russell, director of last year’s hit Silver Linings Playbook, is back with a new drama, American Hustle. Loosely based on the FBI ABSCAM operation of the late 70s, American Hustle stars a fantastic ensemble who give "mind blowingly" amazing performances.
If you saw the trailers for Silver Linings Playbook, you probably thought you would be getting another raunchy romantic comedy starring two of the hottest actors right now: Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence. Well let me tell you these trailers were completely misleading. I am not the biggest fan of rom coms, but I loved the talent involved with this movie. Aside from the leads, the film also includes Robert DeNiro, Jackie Weaver, and Julia Stiles.
The Words is the kind of movie you can't say a lot about in a review without giving too much away, but here goes. Rory Jansen (Bradley Cooper) is a struggling young writer in New York who begins to wonder if he can ever really make it. He has a great girlfriend named Dora played by Zoe Saldana (Uhura in the latest Star Trek movie) and overall they have a really nice life. If only he could make it as a writer.
What do you get when you take a 1980s campy TV show that defined that era and bring it to the big screen? You get an awesome action movie that defines this era. In this remake/reboot, The A-Team is a covert team of Army Rangers…
