It’s the end of the year and the good movies are coming out. But there were a few good picks along the way, and of course more fodder for dvd rentals.
- The Amazing Spiderman (11/9) – Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone are both good in the latest comic-y reboot, though you have to forget that it is way too early for a reboot.
- The Bourne Legacy (12/11) – More than Bourne… and following Jeremy Renner ain’t bad, though I found Rachel Weisz’s character irritating and with all the setup, still some good action.
- Looper (12/31) – JGL can do no wrong and this time travel action romp with he and Bruce Willis is a keeper, you know for a sci-fi hit man movie.
- The Dark Knight Rises (12/4) – I’m game, though worked best as part of series and didn’t love the villain, but Bale rounds out the good leading men can do no wrong of this list, though will we see more of JGL?
- Savages (11/13) – I would usually love a violent action packed surfer drug dealing flick but these characters didn’t quite drag me in.
I’m looking to check out: Beasts of the Southern Wild (12/4), Liberal Arts (12/18), Ted (12/11).
