Another Batch of Movies

Another batch of movies. :)

Annie Hall. 1977. Co-written, starred and directed by Woody Allen, this romantic comedy film is one of the best rom-coms I've  ever seen. Filled with witty jokes and endless antics, you would never stop laughing in this film. Of course, a trademark in this film is when Alvy Singer (Allen) would talk to the camera. Other times, he would approach walking strangers and talk to them as if they knew of his situation. When there is a flashback, they are present there. That is what I like about the film. The actors were amazing especially Diane Keaton who played Annie Hall. She was natural and gracious. Then there's Paul Simon. His role was funny and unimaginable. The plot was creative and simple. A divorced man and a woman dated and would break, then dated again, then would break. Then dated, then finally broke up but had signs that they might end up together again. I would rate this film 97%.

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. 2010. Based on a graphic novel, this comedy-action film is about a Canadian boy named Scott Pilgrim (played by Michael Cera) and how he fought for the seven evil ex's of Ramona Flowers, the girl of his dreams. I was very much amazed by how the film looks like a moving comics, with the onomatopeic words flashing on the screen and others. The incorporation of the arcade-like scenes and the tokens were also amazing. The story was great, and the casting was perfect. I pretty much had a good laugh at the movie. The effects great I tell you. Too bad it was not a box office hit. It could have been though. I would give this film 96%.

No Strings Attached. 2011. Starring Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher, this film revolves around two friends who involve themselves into some action without any relationships in between, thus the title No Strings Attached. In the end, they fell in love with each other. Simple and superficial plot with very good main actors (Portman in particular), I think this is a mediocre movie for me. Nothing spectacular where I will remember forever. I give this film 81%.
