Excellent, Without a doubt!!
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
View MoreOne of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
View MoreIt is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
View MoreThe film carries a serious life lesson and morality. After the storm caused by emotions and emotions, I can say only one thing: appreciate what you have.
View MoreIt was painful, sad story and mom left our couch in the middle. I watched it all and cried terribly. I found again that how wonderful to love someone deeply and that I do not have to be loved by everyone, which never happens. I will read the novel so that I will realize more things John Green tried conveying.
View MoreI'll be the first to admit that romantic comedies are not usually my cup of tea. But as a genuine cinephile I will honestly say that out of hundreds of the ROMCOM'S I've sat through when trying to accommodate a past, present or future potential girlfriend I would come across some that were quite mesmerizing every now and then. With that being said, sophomore director Josh Boone's romance epic "THE FAULT IN OUR STARS" is easily one of best films of (2014). From its infectiously raw opening scene to an incredibly heart breaking ending director Josh Boone's heartfelt drama is a magnificently endearing love story. Even though the film may seem to be only targeting teenage audiences by concentrating entirely on the lives of just two teenagers, it's a conquest for love that's remarkably original with a roller coaster of emotion elevating throughout all while including some of the strongest acting I've seen in (2014).
View MoreIf you think that The Fault In Our Stars is just another teen romance are you in for a pleasant surprise. You'd better have a good supply of tissues because this film involves two very special teens. Ansel Elgort and Shailene Woodley are a pair of cancer survivors and they just haven't got very much time.With Woodley she's come through cancer of the thyroid and she has the breathing apparatus as just part of her person now. Her parents naturally worry about over straining herself, but Woodley is determined to lead as active a life as she can.At a cancer survivor support group she meets Ansel Elgort who has really made quite a name for himself since this film came out. Elgort is a former basketball star who lost a leg to cancer. He is so incredibly quirky and charming in this part I'm surprised he didn't get Oscar consideration.The two make a trip to Amsterdam to visit an author they admire. Willem Dafoe however has less than meets the eye, still they have a good time. When they visit the Anne Frank house the symbolism is certainly not lost on the viewer.The title is a play on Cassius's famous quote from Julius Caesar about the fault not lying in our stars but in ourselves. There's no fault here for Woodley an Elgort. Fate has dealt them a cruel and rotten hand and they have to make the most of it.I haven't seen a film move me as much since Clint Eastwood's Million Dollar Baby. Even a Medusa would be reduced to tears with this one.
