Film Review 8
Pelham 1, 2, 3
Although a glorified, stylized version of Speed/Phone Booth with the twist being on a subway, it was entertaining enough to hold my attention. Although it did feel a little bit too unrealistic in places, forced and too formulaic. Not too many surprises. The 'style' shots weren't that good, hence the forced.
I like the theme of the 'every day man' being a hero at the end. Kind of reminds us how we all have the potential to do good things.
All in all, an okay thriller film.
6.5/10
Whip It
I liked this! Although the directing was a tad awkward at times, it had all the right ingredients: good script, good actors, and an all-around fun spirit that you can tell from watching. It was interesting and at times, inspiring with the Bliss's unrelenting spirit and drive.
Also, Landon Pigg (who I didn't recognize!) was fantastic. Cool music.
7.3/10
