Here are some thoughts on films I've seen recently, along with a 1-10 rating:
Captain America: The Winter Soldier - 9/10
The best superhero movie since 2008's The Dark Knight, this film stretches itself past the limitations of its genre into a timely and surprisingly political thriller that mainstream audiences have enjoyed.
The King's Speech - 9/10
This 2010 film is simple, yet powerful, thanks to refreshingly original cinematography and set design, accompanied by fantastic performances from Colin Firth and Geoffery Rush.
The Breakfast Club - 8/10
It took me a while, to see this 1980s classic high school film, but the touching and honest portrayals from the Brat Pack are moving and uplifting.
Helvetica - 7/10
This documentary about the titular font gets a little bland as time goes on, but the director appropriately captures the excitement and passion of designers, and gives an appropriate peek into the thought that has gone behind the text that we see almost every day.
