The Coen brothers are known for making poignantly beautiful films that delve in the lives of interesting characters, and “Inside Llewyn Davis” is no exception. The film follows a week of struggling folk singers in the winter of 1961 New York. Expect a film full of heart and warmth. After the huge success of “Silverlinings Playbook” David O. Russell sets his talents on 1970s con men and the FBI agents trying to stop them. His starring cast is from “Silverlings Playbook,” and includes Academy Award winner Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper rejoin Russell along with Christian Bale, Amy Adams and Jeremy Renner. This movie will most liking have exquisite acting and amazing dialogue ready for Oscars contention. We are too used to being near a computer at all times. “Her” takes this concept and puts a strange romantic twist. The story is simple, an introverted writer (Joaquin Phoenix) falls in love with a highly advanced computer voiced by Scarlett Johansson. The concept is comedic, however, expect a serious tone to the film with beautiful cinematography.
Ben Stiller directs and plays James Thurber, who escapes reality through day dreaming fantasies in his mind. This film uses this premise to put the audience into a global journey filled with action, adventure and romance. Hopefully this film will be as gorgeous as its trailer, which showcases the enormous environments and places Walter will explore in his head.
A story about crooked banker Jordan Belfort in the 1990s played by Leonardo DiCaprio and costarring Jonah Hill and Matthew McConaughey. It will be directed by Martin Scorsese, Sorry, but enough said.
