Film Review: Midnight in Paris (2011)

Woody Allen displays some of his vintage form with his latest film.  While it may lack the depth of his greatest works, such as Annie Hall (1977) and Manhattan (1979), the film is a true treat amidst a comic book and sequel-driven summer slate of loud movies.  Midnight in Paris (2011) is a thoroughly enjoyable fairy tale romance that is full of wit, charm, and beauty.  Furthermore, although its message becomes a bit preachy by the climax, it is still a valuable one for all audiences.

Film Review: TRON: Legacy

I have not seen the original 1982 film TRON in its entirety, but that did not matter much when viewing this sequel. Disney’s TRON: Legacy is dazzling, breathtaking, and fantastic. The story and plot have several holes and the acting could be better, but the striking visuals and outstanding soundtrack help to make the film quite an entertaining and epic ride.
