His research is thorough and his delivery is sound; but he could have used an editor to trim this up his wordy ramble as this comes to a close (starts talking in circles).  That said, all the angles (informative, testimony from both sides, etc.) are combed through in this on-screen journalistic piece; which in turn provides decades of factual information.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.examiner.com\/review\/movie-review-playing-for-keeps-wears-you-down-and-wins-you-over\">PLAYING FOR KEEPS<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The only time yours truly wants to see Gerard Butler on the screen is when he\u2019s pummeling multiple human beings to a bloody pulp.  But just as he wins over a bunch of soccer moms in this hybrid rom-com (mature and wholesome), he now has my acceptance as multi-genre performer (because he was worried about my approval).  ).  For people that remember 1989\u2019s Parenthood, that\u2019s the tone of this playful comedy with romantic\/coming-of-age undertones.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt1907707\/\">LUV<\/a><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s essentially a 90 minute acting reel for Common.  And he\u2019s awesome in it, as he goes through an array of emotions.  Problem is that the script\/story is fragmented and simply amounts to a montage of scenes that have no real rhyme or reason.  His young partner-in-crime, Michael Rainey Jr., also shows some solid talent in this clich\u00e9d tale about a man with a jaded past, who comes home after prison and attempts to start anew, yet his checkered past still haunts him.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt1790885\/\">ZERO DARK THIRTY<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Director Kathryn Bigelow (<em>The Hurt Locker<\/em>) did extensive homework on the decade long pursuit of Osama bin Laden.  Set predominantly in CIA offices out in the war-torn Middle East, the first half of the flick watches agents harshly question an assortment of detainees in the efforts to find bin Laden\u2019s whereabouts.  Weaving into those sequences is the bureaucratic element; in which one persistent agent (Jessica Chastain) had to deal with, as she feels constant pressure from people who answer to the President.  The latter half authentically shows the eventual operation that led to, SPOILER ALERT, the death of mastermind behind 9\/11.  With some gritty acting and natural looking performances from the entire cast (some known, some not), Bigelow tops her 2010 Oscar winning flick.  Jason Clarke (<em>Lawless<\/em>) is excellent in this by the way.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt1675434\/\">THE INTOUCHABLES<\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you can deal with the French subtitles, and enjoyed flicks such as The Sessions or even Rain Man, this is a real treat.  Witty, intelligent, and blessed with commanding performances from the two leads, this was a story that you just don\u2019t want to end really.  In other words, here\u2019s your winner for Best Foreign Language film at the Academy Awards.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt1045658\/\">SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence is a tandem to be reckoned with in this candid dramedy.  While it has trouble transitioning at certain turns in the screenplay, there are laughs to be had and some substantial conversations with an all-star cast (Robert De Niro, Jacki Weaver, and a Chris Tucker sighting).  The script kind of sells out in the end with cliches, but the journey &#8211; specifically the written dialogue &#8211; in getting to that point is fairly engrossing.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/zero-dark-thirty.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/zero-dark-thirty.jpg\" alt=\"The 2012 Movie Rankings: Zero Dark Thirty\" title=\"The 2012 Movie Rankings: Zero Dark Thirty\" width=\"600\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-111211\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/zero-dark-thirty.jpg 999w, https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/zero-dark-thirty-300x120.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 999px) 100vw, 999px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everyone waits until the year is over to compile their &#8220;Best of whatever&#8221; movie lists.
