Crazy Heart, The King's Speech and The Fighter

Been a few days since my last post, but I've been busy and haven't gotten around to seeing many movies, other than these three from the past week and a half.

Crazy Heart is a fictional story about an old country music singer's life, following his relationship with a single mother, his battle with alcoholism, and other issues. I'm not much of a country music fan, but I enjoyed the music nonetheless. Reminded me a little of Walk the Line. Having watched The Wrestler a few days before, however, which is remarkably similar to Crazy Heart in almost every way, I found the movie a little boring, and I thought The Wrestler was a better overall film. Still a very good film with a strong performance from Jeff Bridges, who proves yet again that he can play a washed-up or drunken or pot-smoking slacker (gotta love him though). 7/10

The King's Speech tells the story of the King George the VI's rise to the thrown and his friendship with his speech therapist, who helps him overcome his stutter and other trepidations. The film is funny and inspiring, with great performances by Colin Firth, Geoffrey Rush, and Helena Bonham-Carter (who for once doesn't play a crazy woman). I absolutely loved the movie but thought the ending (the last five minutes or so) was ridiculously drawn out, dramatic and unnecessary. You'll be entertained and may even learn a bit of history. One of the best movies of the year, and one that will definitely win some awards at the next Oscars. 8.5/10

The Fighter is based on the true story of two boxing brothers: the older a local hero turned crack addict, the younger determined for his own shot at a welterweight title. The acting was terrific, with each actor fully dedicated to his or her character (most notably Mark Wahlberg, Christian Bale, Amy Adams, and Melissa Leo). The boxing itself is great and Wahlberg does everything himself, which impressed me. I really like David O. Russell's directing style, which has a very real feeling to it.  The ending is a little too Hollywood and intentionally leaves out some later developments in the Ward brothers' lives, but this film, like The King's Speech, is one of the year's must see movies. 8.5/10

The African Queen, Nashville and The French Connection

The African Queen tells the unlikely quest of a riverboat captain (Humphrey Bogart) and an English missionary (Katherine Hepburn), who join together to blow up a German warship during World War I. The film's got a little bit of everything, some comedy, tragedy, romance, and action. The acting is great--Bogart and Hepburn carry the film just by themselves for over an hour (though I'm not much of a Katherine Hepburn fan). I loved the cinematography, even though it's very apparent that it was filmed in a studio. They use clips of a variety of animals--lions, crocodiles, elephants, antelope--which must have been pretty thrilling to audiences at the time. I'm getting a little bored of 50s movies with their predictable happy endings, but it's a nice story and I still enjoyed it. 7.5/10

Nashville (a musical comedy?) follows the lives of a number of people leading up to a political convention in Tennessee. The huge cast of main characters is hard to keep track of, and most of them aren't very interesting anyways. It's got a lot of country music (of which I'm also not a fan). Based on this film and MASH, I don't much like Robert Altman's directing. Several times I considered stopping it and not finishing it. Some people might find this film funny, but I wasn't one of them. 4/10

The French Connection is a crime drama following two New York City narcotics detectives trying to uncover a drug deal involving the French. Gene Hackman plays Detective Popeye Doyle, whose interesting methods and investigative hunches make him a successful but controversial officer. He puts on a great performance. And there's an epic car/train chase, arguably one of the best ever filmed. Other than that, I found the film a little slow and I didn't like the ending. Still, a classic and revolutionary film. 7/10

1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die

Now it's pretty ridiculous to say "you absolutely must see these 1001 movies," and I'm not even going to attempt to complete this list, but it's a good guide of great movies through the years. There is also a large variety of foreign films, something that AFI lists do not account for.
