Red Dawn

I haven't seen the original but I know of it. This one has a dumb storyline (mostly on how the North Koreans try to control the area) but you forget it after 20 minutes in because the action kicks ass for the most part. Although there was a few times where they use the some shaky cam. Also, Thor and Comedian rocked in their roles.
7/10

Killing Them Softly

A very low budget action/crime film that has some dark humor. It's surprisingly a very political film that deals with capitalism. Brad Pitt did pretty good and has a couple badass moments. The movie itself doesn't have any real climax action wise which was a bit of a letdown.
7/10

Killing Them Softly - 7/10

As unorthodox as it is, I quite liked it. I didn't mind it being an hour and a half either, as I thought some scenes were being to drawn and out and didn't understand why. It wasn't until it was over I got what they were going for. And I liked the ending.

Life of Pi

Stunning visuals coupled with the story of a young man named Pi (Suraj Sharma) who
becomes lost at sea with a a Bengal tiger named Richard Parker (after a clerical error)
pulled me into the film,but its strong look at faith,religion,the dark side of human nature,
and triumph of the human spirit made me reflect on my own views of religion and faith.

The story is lacking in certain turns,but still manages to charm throughout and features
some of the boldest 3D effects and SFX i have ever seen on the big screen.

Scale of 1-10 an 8½

Killing Them Softly


At 97 minutes Killing Them Softly is one of the shortest mob films i have ever seen,but crams in a lot
of colorful characters,stinging and raw dialogue coupled with brutal violence.Scoot McNairy as Frankie and
Ben Mendelsohn as Russell are 2 low level crooks who look like they should be taking showers for a month instead of
robbing an illegal card game run by Markie Trattman (Ray Liotta) at the behest of Johnny Amato (Vincent Curatola)
The robbery leads to hitman Jackie Cogan (Brad Pitt) being called in to track down and take out anyone that was involved.
KTS interestingly uses the 2008 Presidential election and the economic collapse as a parable to whats
playing out on the gritty streets. Pitt,including Richard Jenkins as Driver, the aforementioned actors, and a handful of other character actors
are great but its James Gandolfini as Mickey a hit man who likes his alchohol and prostitutes but cant stop talking about
his wife who is threatening to leave him is the standout.

Even with its short running time KTS drags a bit but still held my attention and definitely entertains.
