Just a few movies I've seen recently that I think you should see/avoid. Going to do a reviews of the Marvel movies that came out this summer as soon as I get my hands on Thor next month.
The Resident - Below average thriller in which the cameraman worships practically every single part of Hilary Swank's body. Oh, and there's a bad guy too. Not worth anyone's time. 3/10
Hanna - A great performance from Saoirse Ronan. The score by The Chemical Brothers kicks ass. Story isn't the best, but extra points for the "internationality". It feels very global, I don't think much if any of it was actually filmed in the US. 8/10
The Town - Well directed, if a bit sloppy crime drama. Rebecca Hall's character is severely underwritten and she and Affleck don't really have chemistry. Jeremy Renner is very good in the movie though and the movie comes a bit more alive whenever he's on screen. 6/10
Animal Kingdom - Strong debut from director David Michod. Gritty has been overused a lot describing recent movies, but this really is gritty. No big action, but brilliant acting, old story well told. Not for the faint of heart though. 9/10
Cop Out - I don't usually review movies I've not seen all the way through, but I had to switch this off after 15 minutes. Based on that, 1/10. Just don't.
