But to be fair, the focus is just on the events surrounding the making of Psycho; so you can\u2019t blame the screenplay for not elaborating on certain elements of his lifestyle that are intriguing; simply because a barrage of flashback sequences can interrupt the flow of the presentation (see <em>J. Edgar<\/em>). For the Hitchcock fans, the pacing and mechanics (i.e. cinematography) nearly emulate how the good director would have shot this particular flick if he were alive today.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt1748227\/\">THE COLLECTION<\/a><\/p>\n<p>If <em>Saw 2<\/em> fornicated with a \u201890s slasher flick, <em>The Collection<\/em> is what would pop out \u2013 complete with birth defects (mechanical errors).  The writers of <em>Saw IV-VVII<\/em> are in full control of this horror flick that takes place in a twisted abandoned hotel, with the sole guest being a silent masked torturer of sorts.  All things considered, it\u2019s literally a tolerable watch; as it moves quickly, has some decent and bloody kills, and is equipped with some demonic set pieces.  It won\u2019t win any awards\u2026and that includes the dreaded Razzie (anti-Oscars).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt1718199\/\">DRAGON<\/a><\/p>\n<p>What looks to be a standard martial arts movie (and should have been) tries a bit too hard, and therefore, is flying all over the place.  The storytelling is jagged and there isn&#8217;t a ton of action to keep one\u2019s attention.  And if you haven\u2019t guessed, the plot line, while mildly interesting, is told in a scatter-brained manner (poor edit), and by the end has one feeling like they&#8217;ve wasted your time.  It\u2019s not painful, but this was in dire need of a solid technical polish.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt1783798\/\">UNION SQUARE<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Without Mira Sorvino putting on a show as a troubled and obnoxious train-wreck, this 80 minute feature would have warranted a theater walkout.  The story blows and it\u2019s essentially on repeat; for the setting primarily takes place in NYC apartment as Sorvino drops-in on her sister (Tammy Blanchard) and her straight-and-narrow fianc\u00e9 (Mike Doyle).  Performances are there, but the storytelling and premise is a simple bore. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt1855401\/\">TIM &#038; ERIC\u2019S BILLION DOLLAR MOVIE<\/a><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s over-the-top randomness and crudeness provides a few \u201claughing with noise\u201d moments.  But even with an assortment of cameos (Will Ferrell, Zach Galifianakis, Will Forte, David Koechner, etc.), this is just recycled stoner\/moronic-stupidity.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt2120152\/\">THE INVISIBLE WAR<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Tackling a sensitive, and downright shocking, subject matter (rape in the military &#8211; specifically women), this documentary captures your attention after the first victim utters just a few words.  And the amount of data presented will baffle and possibly outrage you.  The filmmakers easily make a compelling case with hard facts and candid discussions with select victims and lawmakers in Congress.  One thing that is missing though is a rebuttal from the people (military brass) that \u201csweep\u201d this issue under the proverbial rug.  If we had a counter-argument, this may have been the best documentary of the year.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt2115295\/\">GINGER &#038; ROSA<\/a><\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a philosophy woven through this piece that centers around two teenagers (Elle Fanning &#038; Alice Englert) in England, dealing with the threat of a nuclear war back in the days of the Cuban Missile Crisis.  And while the direction of the subplots (domestic infidelity) is fairly obvious, the ensemble cast (Christina Hendricks, Annette Bening, Alessandro Nivola, Oliver Platt, and Timothy Spall) can keep you invested in this semi-emotional dramatic telling.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt2085888\/\">ONLY THE YOUNG<\/a><\/p>\n<p>So if Beavis and Butt-Head tried to be semi-serious, rode skateboards, and pontificated about relationships in a skin-deep sort of way (shallow)\u2026would you want to watch?  Probably not.  And that sums up this documentary that seems nearly scripted in the same vein as <em>The Virginity Hit<\/em> yet tries (edited &#038; cut) to have a storyline similar to the skateboard comedy <em>Grind<\/em>.  But nothing is humorous.  Bottom line: You know those moments where you think it would be cool to document what and you\u2019re friends are doing because it would make people laugh?  Eh, not so much.  With that being said, the brief 72 minutes does keep you slightly curious on where they\u2019re going with this (a.k.a. mildly amusing people watching).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt2124074\/\">28 HOTEL ROOMS<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Chris Messina will one day be in consideration for a gold statue in February.  He and Marin Ireland do riveting work in this hotel-affair saga.  The entire movie takes place in five-star hotel rooms across the country as the cheating characters rendezvous for passionate love-making.  And when feelings become involved, emotional arguments take center stage in the same setting.  When you find yourself rooting for people doing deplorable acts, the filmmakers are definitely doing something right in the delivery.  The only plot hole if you will, is noticed towards the end, revolving around why &#038; how Messina\u2019s character is able to still sneak out of his married life to visit his also-married mistress in different cities.  A little more background was perhaps needed here.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt2011265\/\">TCHOUPITOULAS<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m fine with documentaries just filming footage and having very little narration.  But at least film something worthwhile and articulate a point!  Taking random home videos, and having an affinity for the zoom button, does not qualify as a notable doc.  Even if half of it follows three inner-city youths walking around the New Orleans nightlife.  While it\u2019s almost admirable just showing reality, it\u2019s important to have some type of purpose or agenda.  In other words, keep your home vids to yourself or at least have the sense to realize that you actually captured something that could possibly engage others.
