Amo to sit inside a dark film, Munch a handful of popcorn and I lose myself in an imaginary world filled with colorful characters and inventive dialogue. While many films end up being a disappointment, pleasant surprises more than make up for it. Because you can not have more time to devote to the movies as I do, I put together a list of recent films worth seeing. Some of these should be available at your local multiplex, while others require a trip to a theater that shows independent and art films. But in both cases, these selections should restore your faith in the art of cinema.
Winter's Bone (2010)-sure to be a favorite during the season of winter's bone, Oscar stars Jennifer Lawrence as a resident Ree Dolly carried Ozark. Forced to care for his younger brothers and mother incapacitated, Ree doesn't even have time to attend school. While she hunts for food, hides it and dreams of running away to join the armed forces, she receives some bad news: his father meth-treat got arrested, put on the farm of family on how to deposit and then skipped town. If he doesn't show up at Court, and his relatives are Ree without a home. In the absence of a car or a mobile phone, takes to the Woods on a dangerous mission to find her father and bring him back in time for the process.
Let Me In (2010)-A 12-year-old bullied (Kodi Smit-McPhee) befriends the new girl across the Hall (Chloe Moretz), but it turns out that she is an ancient vampire who may not even be a girl at all. The two outsiders form a link, one that threatens to doom the boy's soul forever young. A brilliant remake of Swedish film Let the Right One In.
Never Let Me Go (2010)-based on the novel by Kazuo Ishiguro, this film blends drama and romance with a science fiction element. Carey Mulligan, Keira Knightley and Andrew Garfield play three friends who deal with life and love while growing up in an isolated community. I don't want to spoil the surprises of the movie, so let's just say that the world has found a new inventive method for organ transplants.
City (2010)-Ben Affleck serves as both star and Director in this film about a robber who begins an affair with a woman who once held prisoner (Rebecca Hall). He plans to leave the criminal life behind, but he gets pulled back in a robbery last from his old friend (Jeremy Renner) and a local crime boss (Pete Postlethwaite). Jon Hamm (Mad Men) co-stars as a tenacious FBI agent.
History of Tillman (2010)-This powerful documentary takes a look at life and controversial death of Pat Tillman, former NFL football player who gave up millions of dollars to serve his country in the aftermath of 11 September. Attention is paid to death under fire, the concealment of the next Government and search for the truth of his family.
Get low (2010)-Robert Duvall is at its best cantankerous as Felix Bush, a hermit who emerges from seclusion for the purchase of a funeral of "live" for himself. Bill Murray is the owner of the funeral home and Lucas Black is his young Assistant. The entire city is invited to come and share the stories you have heard of Felix over the years, but the elder also has a history of their own to tell. Sissy Spacek co-stars.
