Dallas Buyers Club - Movie Review

Dallas Buyers Club stars Oscar winners Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto. This film is about Ron Woodroof a man in the 1980s who is diagnosed with HIV's and him and Jared Leto set up a club to cure other Aid's victims.

That is just the beginning of the plot because that is all I will say. The performances in this movie are stunning and a very under rated performance by Jennifer Garner also elevates this film in my opinion.

The transformation from despicable Ron to the tagline 'Dare to Live' Ron is seen throughout the film, however this is not the case for Jared Leto's performance.

I really liked this film and I believe it is worth seeing especially to catch up on Oscar season. The only con in my opinion is that it slows down a little.

I will give Dallas Buyers Club
B+

Blue Jasmine - Movie Review

Academy Award Winner, Cate Blanchett stars as Jasmine in the critically acclaimed Woody Allen movie. Blue Jasmine is a movie that goes back and forth between Jasmine's past and present and how her life has changed (without spoilers) since certain events happened in her life.

Jasmine is played amazingly by Cate Blanchett and she totally deserved her Oscar. Sally Hawkins (who plays Jasmine's sister) is also fantastic along with Alec Baldwin and Sally Hawkins boyfriend "Chilli".

The movie starts awesome and has an awesome ending, even though it was a little cheap it was still pretty incredible and something not many people could have seen coming.

It is an excellent movie
I'm going to give Blue Jasmine
An A-

12 Years a Slave - Movie Review

12 Years a Slave stars Chiwetel Ejiofor as Solomon Northup a free man who was kidnapped into slavery in the 1800's. This story documents his 12 Years as a slave which was later made in to an autobiography.

This is a harrowing movie that will live with most people for a very long time. This is not an easy film to watch because the performances make this film seem so real. Mainly Chiweitel Ejiorfor, Lupita Nyong'o and Michael Fasbender.

The soundtrack by Hans Zimmer is amazing and adds so much more to an already incredible film.

I will give 12 Years a Slave an A+

Gravity - Movie Review

Gravity stars Sandra Bullock who plays Dr. Ryan Stone and George Clooney who play Matt Kawolski. Gravity is my favourite film of 2013.

In Gravity, Ryan Stone is on her first space mission while Matt is retiring. However, something goes wrong and debris flies by and causes chaos leaving Ryan and Matt stranded in space. From there, Gravity is a 90 minute thriller that will leave you on the edge of your seat from beginning. This movie does not turn off it is so exciting every second.

I don't want to spoil anything else I will just say this movie is amazing in every single way. I recently picked up the Blu-Ray and it looks phenomenal. Groundbreaking visuals.

Gravity is my favourite film of 2013, Sandra Bullock and George Clooney are amazing and the Oscars are tomorrow so fingers crossed!




I will give Gravity an A+
