50/50

50/50
The Grand Theater
Excellent (Again very close to Superior)

If the first hour of the movie was as good as the last hour then no question this was a superior performance. Joseph-Gorden Levitt (although he has too many names) had an incredible scene towards the end of the movie, and Seth Rogan was great as well. The problem was the movie wasn't as funny as it was supposed to be. I know that sounds terrible when you're talking about a cancer movie, but it was billed as a Drama-Comedy. All the best jokes were given away in the previews and although that certainly didn't sink the ship or lessen the impact of the performances or the story, it did promise something that didn't deliver. In this case the preview ruined the movie because of promises it didn't keep. However if it wasn't for the preview I probably wouldn't have seen it anyway. So what do you do?

Cool that it was based on a true story...I wonder if he lives! (he-he) (Watch the trailer above to find out why that's funny.)

Green Book

Green Book AMC High Point 8 Superior This was a great movie. It made you laugh, it made you cry. It was a really interesting look at a topic that's been looked in to many times. Even though the theme was the same, this movie felt fresh and original. I can fully support this movie for Best Picture.

Alita

Alita AMC High Point 8 Superior Aka Totally B.A. I took the kiddos to see this movie, mostly because it's a girl power movie and Charlotte loves those kinds of movies. Holy crap! This movie was awesome. The story, the acting, the special effects. James Cameron proves again that if you get a cool idea for a movie and spend a s### ton of money on it. You get an epic film! One of the few movies that I was happy at the end that there's going to  be a sequel!

Isn't It Romantic

Isn't It Romantic AMC High Point 8 Excellent This movie started very poorly. Awkward scenes and questionable camera decisions. Then it got warmed up and it ended up being a cute funny movie. It needs a lot of work to get the top rating, but by the end I enjoyed myself. The soundtrack is awesome!
