The Avengers

Five Stars: ˜˜˜˜˜

The Marvel franchise has been building to this moment for years and the wait was well worth it—thanks in great part to the film’s brilliant director, Joss Whedon. When the Avengers assemble to battle Thor’s vengeful brother Loki and his army of aliens, the super heroes’ chemistry is nothing less than epic. Full of breath-taking action sequences, the complicated plot and witty dialogue gives the film incredible rewatchability.

We Bought A Zoo

Five Stars: ˜˜˜˜˜

This is one of the most beautiful films I have seen in a long time. The audience is enthralled in an Everyman’s adventure as he grieves for his late wife, struggles with his teenage son, delights in his young daughter—all while trying to revitalize a run-down zoo. The clever dialogue, combined with the unique challenges of a zoo, simple, clean cinematography, and gorgeous performances make this movie an unforgettable joy to experience.

The Island

Four Stars: ˜˜˜˜

More science than fiction, even when it was made in 2005, the fantasies were not too far from realities; now it’s just scary. The writers understood this and played upon a very common fear: what if everything we’ve ever known is a lie? When the characters realize that their lives are nothing more than a science experiment, they must rediscover what it means to live. Their childlike innocence is the only weapon they have out in the big, bad world.
