Blue Jasmine

Blue Jasmine, Woody Allen's latest film, was dark and yet simultaneously comical. I initially disliked the nonlinear narrative technique used by Allen to tell the story but as the plot unfolded I found myself drawn to the structure of the film and the brilliance of how the story is told, with some shocking twists along the way. Not Woody Allen's best but in the days of remakes and sequels this film displays originality and provokes thought. Cate Blanchett did a fantastic job at portraying a New York housewife who is in the midst of a life crisis. Maybe it's just my love for Woody Allen films in general, but I thoroughly enjoyed Blue Jasmine. 3 out of four stars.

World War Z

While the feature starring Brad Pitt will not be considered a classic, the film successfully displayed what the world would become in the event of some kind of apocalypse. The acting was raw, keeping me on the edge of my seat and the story itself gave me goosebumps on several occasions. Good summer flick. 2 and a half out of 4 stars.

Love Is All You Need

The film was strange to say the least, in terms of European customs that seem bizarre to Americans. However, this was a good romantic flick for older folks who are looking to watch a film about Pierce Brosnan forming a relationship at an advanced age. 2 and a half out of 4 stars.

This is the End

As good as a comedic film about the world ending could possibly get. Never mind the fact that none of the events couldn't happen in real life. This was a badass film and you can tell that the actors loved making it. 3 out of 4 stars.

The Internship

Stupid and funny but nevertheless, funny. Also, despite the lack of seriousness in the film it sends a good message about not giving up on a dream. 2 and a half out of 4 stars.
