ok this a good place to post this i am Dog person and with that i like any dog related films that have a pet dog as its star character one of my fave films of the genre is Air Bud and now its continution with his Pups the Buddies. i just recently watched spooky buddies its ok its not the best one the released but was fun to was and see them do there own Take on Casper with a pup in there called pip so i am now on Treasure buddies and ill watch that tonight or tommrow.

The Hobbit 2 - Say what you want about Jackson turning this single book into three movies (not sure how that is any different from a Game of Thrones book being turned into 10 hour long episodes, but no one complains about it) the man once again proves how much he loves Tolkien. It does to Journey what Two Towers did to Fellowship as this movie is just down right fantastic! It is fun, has excellent looking creatures in it, and a great score to boot. The only stuff I will say the movie detracted from is that Legolas is still Mr Perfect in everything he does, but now that I know he is the son of a king, it kind of makes sense that that is how he was raised to be (especially with how much of a douche his father is). Oh, and a romance between a Dwarf and an Elf felt forced. Other than that though, this movie is so fast paced I thought it was only halfway through when it ended. I cannot wait until July for the next one as it is going to be great!! If you found the first one to suck (which makes you soul less (JK)) or you just hate Jackson just because he does good things, then you will not like this movie so go see something else and save yourself a bitchfest. However, if you are a fan of the first movie and LotR in general, there is no reason you would not enjoy this one. I give Desolation of Smaug a 9/10. Oh, and the only thing I felt the movie needed was Smaug saying, "Elementary my dear boy." :-p

Oh yeah, and we did not get the Godzilla or Interstellar trailers. Instead we got another Onimusha, Smitty, and Divergence trailers. -_-

I got Godzilla and Interstellar both times I saw Desolation of Smaug. :)

Speaking of, I watched it again last night, and I loved it everybit as much as I did the first time. Smaug is amazing, perfect in every way.

I wish there was a nice, high end, articulated adult collectible of Smaug, such as an SH Monster Arts. I'd buy that in a second, and even an SDCC Excusive gold variant!

Just watched Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker Uncut edition. Realy good and I can't believe I didn't bother to see it again until today.

I can't believe that I STILL haven't seen that, after all this time. I'm lame.

Totally lame ._.

!! :cry

Every man carries a badge...

Now I've got a degree in film, the question that seems to bind my life is, "when did fun stop being important?". I missed Gangster Squad when it was in cinemas, despite being excited for it, because of all the scathing reviews. However if you read the reviews, I mean really read the reviews, they are basically hating on the fact that Gangster Squad is fun.

Complaining that Gangster Squad is all style over substance, apparently that didn't matter when the film was called Avatar, but it does here for some reason. Complaining about Gangster Squads violence, I guess that is only allowed in Horror films or something? And the worst criticism? "it isn't true to history", so? It's a movie? Did the story of Mickey Cohen suddenly become sacred or some shit? Because you must demand documentary style realism from your Hollywood gangster flick!

Me? I actually watched the film and appreciated it on what it was supposed to be. I know right? Shock, horror! I'm a huge fan of the noir genre and obviously due to both the technology, and also the censorship and culture of the time, classic noir films can only go so far, they are still full of extreme violence and all the rest, but a lot of it is more implied and left to the imagination.

There is nothing wrong with that but seeing the violence being allowed to play on screen as Gangster Squad explodes into huge car chases and even bigger gun fights makes my inner noir fan explode with glee. Gangster Squad takes all the elements of a classic noir and wraps it in a sandwich of modern technology, and it's simply glorious.

It has an all star cast who really show their talent. Gosling is putting in easily one of the best performances of his career here, and a way better performance than he put in in the grossly over hyped Place Beyond The Pines. And it looks like Emma Stone has finally lived up to the 'sexiest woman in Hollywood' title. This movie was just pure awesome. I loved it.

If there are any surprises to be had, it's perhaps that the Gangster Squad themselves suck. They are a band of misfits, who are all brilliant at what they do, but rather than Hollywood glorifying their actions the Gangster Squad meet failure at every turn, and every victory is usually bitter sweet and heavy with moral complications, guilt and regret. When the movie starts shifting into the third act and the Gangster Squad begins to crumble in a violent haze of gunfire it is almost anti climactic because the squad never reached a height far enough to fall down from. But I don't mean that in a negative sense at all, I think it's brilliant. It's a world where the heroes don't win just because they are the heroes, and it's a world where every gunshot has an impact beyond that of the visceral connection of lead to flesh. Gangster Squad may be a beautiful, heavily stylised neo-noir action film but through all the flair, it never lost its soul.

Gangster Squad is one long, intense scramble from start to finish. And I'd happily kick and scream through the mud for many years to come with this movie, that'll have you screaming in triumph by the end. I'm just gutted I missed what is probably the best film of the year in cinemas.

Off to see Its a Wonderful Life in the cinema tonight, which should be interesting as I've not seen it before.

I'm rather a sentimental old fart, so I enjoy it every year. Funnily enough, I saw it at a quite crowded showing at my local AMC last night.

I loved it. It's not very often I call a film perfect but this one really is.

If everything goes according to plan, I'll be hosting a double-feature at my house tomorrow of The Iron Giant and The Amazing Spider-Man.

Queue snow-storm to ruin my plans. :lol

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who enjoys it! It seems like it sort of became fashionable for a while to bash the heck out of the film.

Okay Watched Cars 2 and the verdict.... It isn't as bad as people make it out to be, i enjoyed it.

Went out and saw "Frozen" earlier.


...Disney, you need to fire your marketing staff. Like, immediately.

Every commercial or trailer I saw for this film looked mediocre/terrible but the actual product is quite possibly the best Disney Animated release since Beauty and the Beast.


Frozen takes most of the traditional elements of Disney romance (like love at first sight) and turns them completely on their axis. And its done with some excellent characters with genuine heart & soul behind them, supported by memorable musical numbers too!

I loved this film. Highly recommended!

Re watched Hot Fuzz earlier, I knew it was good but I don't remember it being THAT good. Easily one of my favourites alongside the likes of Django (1966), Blade Runner and Army of Darkness.

Saw Ace Ventura: Pet Detective the one that started it all.

I haven't watched Frozen, but Disney's marketing staff really is terrible. Remember when they made Tangled look like a Dreamworks rip-off? Or Wreck It Ralph like a movie full of bad jokes? :lol

Wow, I've seen a lot of movies and have not posted in here.

Frozen was one of them and was great. Best since Beauty and the Beast? Not really since I consider The Lion King to be their greatest achievement ever. Oh yeah, and The PRincess and the Frog is my third favorite, so Frozen would probably go after that or something.

Never seen It's A Wonderful Life as I never understood the concept behind it. Plus, I've seen millions of adaptations of it there is no point to seeing it. Anyway:

Disney's A Christmas Carol - This is easily my favorite adaptation of the story. It is amazing to see how well the CGI has evolved between The Polar Express and this, as the details of gotten a lot better and there seems to be a lot more life in the eyes (even if it still isn't perfect). I also love how the characters and imagery looks nearly identical to the book due to them using CGI, especially when it comes to the ghosts themselves. I just love how the Ghost of Xmas Past looks like a candle as the way it was described in the novel. There obviously are things added for the 3D, such as the Fezziwigs being agile and then coach chasing scene with Xmas Yet to Come, but those have no bearing on the movie itself and are fun to watch, so I'll forgive them for that. I also like the way they did the dissolve with the Ghost of Xmas Future as it fits with him growing old throughout the day and I feel it fits the mood that Dickens had been giving at the very end of this ghostly encounter. Overall, I give this movie an 8/10 and as I said, it might be slightly flawed, but it remains to be my favorite adaptation of the story to date.

I dunno whether it counts as a movie as it was broadcast on TV, but it's feature length and is presented like a film so yeah... I just watched The Suspicions of Mr. Whicher The Murder at Road Hill House.

Although the production and acting is all solid, this just kinda makes you wish Considine was in a Sherlock Holmes adaptation. I understand this is based on true events, and inspired Sherlock Holmes to a degree but the fact that the film tries to stick so close to the facts makes this feel almost mundane in comparison.

I know that is horrible, as it features the death of a child, something that should never be called mundane. But it's less so in the events that transpire that this is mundane, and more around Whicher himself. We're so used to eccentric detectives with complex roller coaster investigations. But Road Hill lacks all of that excitement, and all of that wit, which is a shame as I love Considine.

I can't even really praise its use of the period. Although true, the trajectory of the narrative perhaps wouldn't have played out much in the way it did if it took place today, we've already seen this concept done much better elsewhere. Mr. Whicher's battle with a country town more interested in treading lightly than finding truth and justice sadly just isn't particularly interesting.

Honestly overall that is the problem, Road Hill is simply boring. Beyond base shocks, and twists that add more punch because this is based on a true story, there is little to this tale. This is a visual medium, so having so much of your film playing out as characters simply standing about and chatting, with the camera being largely static and rarely cutting doesn't make for interesting viewing. I'm grateful that this didn't feel the need to embellish but you can make things more interesting without adding a new car chase.

Just watched the greatest holiday movie of all time, The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya. :D

A Christmas Carol (Alistair Sim): I really like Sim's version of Scrooge. The man does a great job acting like a rotten asshole and then pulls off the change in his personality quite well and make it believable. On the other hand, I do not like how this movie really plays out Tiny Tim as they added scenes with him just for the sake of making us feel sympathy for him. I am not a fan of this at all. I also feel the movie drags out the stuff with the Ghost of Christmas Past, adding in additional scenes we did not need, but then cuts out some of the important scenes with the other two ghosts that were in the book. Once again though, the movie does a great job with the effects on Marley's ghost, which does outshine some of the modern live action takes we get today. Overall, this movie has a lot of going for it, a lot of great ideas and some excellent acting, but at the same time, it throws in pointless crap we did not ask for nor needed. As such, I am giving this version a 7/10.

Surprisingly? Whicher got a second film. And how do I feel about it? I'm kinda torn. On the onehand, the lack of filmicness of Road Hill was its biggest problem, it was less a movie and more a filmed stageplay. But in an attempt to not repeat this, Angel Lane is almost 90s comics level of ludicrous as it attempts to top its predecessor at every story beat.

Road Hill had its fair share of twists, but they were carefully spaced out, crucial to the plot and most importantly made sense. Here so many twists are piled on, the pile grows so high aeroplanes crash into it. By about the half way point I really had no idea what was going on any more, with only a handful of faces to put to about three dozen names.

In the original it all largely took place in a single house, as the secrets of that house were revealed. Well in the second film, despite taking place across London, they try and make every single damn character connected whether through sheer coincidence so obviously engineered or because apparently at this time London had about ten people living in it (not including extras).

Not to mention that once again Whicher is full of suspicions he has no evidence for, so his reputation gets dashed before he eventually turns out to be right. This time though he isn't chasing a single piece of crucial evidence, oh no that is far too subtle for this film...

And then of course we have the plot that blasts at a breakneck pace and never slows down as Whicher darts from location to location, as if the film fears that if he stops in a single place for to long the boredom of the first movie and the prison of Road Hill House will take over.

And as if they were needed, action scenes! Whicher faces a knife wielding suspect, busts out of an insane asylum (which is apparently very easy) and it all leads to a shooting.

Probably the only compliment I have for this is the character of Whicher himself. Considine reprises the role, which I am thankful for, both because I am a huge fan of his work but also because he deserves this Whicher. This Whicher is everything the character was hinted to be in the last instalment. Extremely complex, racked with grief and paranoia and his drive to do the right thing although consistently noble, is perhaps driven by deeper more personal and more selfish conflictions within. In short, he is utterly human in his flaws.

The Nightmare Before Christmas is such a timeless classic. :)

DIE HARD

Awesome.

Oh, also Red 2. The first time I saw this, I liked it as much as Red. This second time, showing it to my wife, I still enjoyed it a lot, but I can now say, I do think the first is a little better. By which I think I mean, it's a little more funny.

"But that's not a Christmas movie?"

FUCK YOU IT'S DIE HARD! :p

Red 2 isn't a Christmas movie, but Die Hard certainly is.
I want to watch Die Hard With A Vengeance tonight, cuz it was the next best one, but it doesn't take place during Chrstimas (if I recall), so I should watch Die Hard 2 because it does, but I'm not really interested in watching it again right now.

Just finished up with my annual viewing of Jingle All The Way.

'Put the coookie dawhn! NOW!

Man, it's hard to convey Arnold's accent in text. :lol

Art is all in the perspective. If you approach Epic as just another piece of family animation then yeah, it really is nothing special. And as it came out the same year the genre defying masterpiece Frozen did, it doesn't have a chance. However, if you approach it as another movie trying to be the next Twilight, you get something much more interesting... What?! Trashy young adult supernatural romance novels are my vice, okay?

Epic is full of beautiful animation taking the more cartoony looks of other similar animated features, then wrapping it in a coat of realism and featuring one of the most stunning representations of two races, one of life and one of death. And this animation is truly at its finest during the slick action scenes which are full of exciting imagination.

It has fantasy elements, but just the right amount. I personally find the Swords and Sorcery genre one of the most uninteresting, so I was happy that the fantasy here was ground in a modern reality and punctuated with human drama. There is of course swords, magic and stupid names but that isn't all there is. Thank Christ for that.

But now, as said, where Epic really shines is in the romance. It is a pretty traditional set up, we have a teenage girl, her mother is dead and her father is chasing something only he believes in which causes a chasm between him and his daughter. By pure chance, seemingly, the girl finds herself in a fantasy world of monsters and magic and most importantly - in the arms of a handsome boy.

The set up, like many aspects of Epic, is nothing special but it's the way this set up is treated that makes it stand out. A lot of the time these romances are so by the numbers because they've become so cliché it's like writers assume you HAVE to include them and go through the motions with these plot arcs just so they are there.

But here MK doesn't just fall for Nod simply because he's the only boy her age around, or whatever the reasoning is behind the likes of Clary and Jace or Bella and Edward. It springs off of an initial attraction, sure, and Nod is a sort of blend between Jacob and Jace and we can't help but be charmed by his cocky asshole attitude. But his actual relationship with MK takes time over the course of the film, forming perhaps not quite naturally, but is probably one of the most convincing romances of the year. Hutcherson and Seyfried have a lot of chemistry as well, given its only their voices, and the animation has to do the rest.

And thankfully, minus a comic relief slug who I wanted to dunk a load of salt on, these central lovers are supported by a great supporting cast. Usually when a voice cast is made up of famous names, it usually sucks, as just because you're a famous actor doesn't mean you can voice act but here it works wonderfully, thanks largely to some wonderful dialogue that the numerous writers give them to chew on.

Don Jon takes time, a lot of time, to truly get good. For almost the first hour the film is basically just noise. It's big, loud, in your face, bolshy, repetitious to the point of monotony and utterly vulgar. But Gordon-Levitt spends this time building this utter douchebag so he can tear him down, and after the movie makes us hate everything about him, it's so satisfying to see him brought close to ruin on his path of salvation.

It's the most clever kind of smart movie, it's a critique of itself and Gordon-Levitt lays the pieces so carefully, and distracts you so much with the vulgarity, that we don't even realise a great movie is unfolding before our very eyes until almost all the pieces have fallen into place already. Plus come on, the fact that the movie alone centres around a guy addicted to porn, who could hate that?

Really the most problematic aspect of the movie is Barbara, played by Scarlett Johansson. I'm sorry, I just don't find her attractive. And before someone tells me that's not the point, that is the WHOLE point of nearly the whole movie. And if you can't join in on 'The Dons' drooling, then you can't really appreciate the movie.

Thankfully (admittedly pretty late into the movie) steps Julianne Moore as Esther, her actually character may be pretty thinly drawn, but it's less who she is and more what she is about that matters in this context. Esther has a more lasting impact on the film than Barbara does despite having like three times the screentime. Barbara turns out to be a bit of a bitch, and Jon realising this and through the help of Esther he is able to grow into a better person so the movie can leave on a high note. We're just fucking lost together.

Obviously a big part of the movies strength though is not Gordon-Levitt's acting ability, but his directing skills. He has a brilliant eye and imagination for staging a scene and finding beauty in every day surroundings, using lots of visual motifs to tell stuff that other movies would do through boring dumps of exposition, and most crucially he knows how to use his actors to get the best performances he can.

So I like to impulse buy wildcard movies, movies that you've never heard of, full of people you've never heard of and adapted from things you've never heard of. So when I saw the busty hot chick with the two guns on the front of Bounty Killer which is apparently based on some comic, I thought I'd test my luck.

And MAN did my luck win out, it's a hyper violent, hyper stylish and hyper sexy story of cool cars, blood splurts and yellow ties as we're projected into a post apocalyptic future where the corporations greed reduced the world to a wasteland, and now the entire justice system is like some kind of reality game show.

It has some of the coolest action scenes I've ever seen and explodes into the carnage usually personified by a child and some action figures, it certainly left me giggling with childlike glee. And it has a surprisingly thoughtful narrative for something so balls to the wall, it's kinda like the Hunger Games on acid.

Sadly, it isn't without its problems. The acting for example, is balls, this seems intentional at times perhaps but that doesn't make the bad acting any more enjoyable. Although Kristanna Loken is fun. And it's a shame, because most of the characters are awesome. And for every great effect shot, there is another piece of atrocious CGI.

well I finally watched kamen rider shin prologue yesterday and really liked it. it was different but fun. makes me wish the series did happen and we could have seen Shin and his magic baby on the run from the CIA and the organization. seeing him in action was so cool. I just loved seeing the suit in action and the fight scenes. Shin's henshin, or should I say metamorphosis, was a cool one, especially the more refined second transformation near the end. It was a nice concept that sadly never took off.

Wow really? I thought Shin himself was cool, but I thought that movie was total garbage.

shin was cool and I do admit it could have been written better, one of the reasons being how was the child alive after the mother was dead.

Anchorman 2

It was stupidly funny like the first Anchorman but that last third is hella weird even by Anchorman standards.

Since I liked Rise of Cobra despite the odds, I decided to check out Retaliation and ignore the reviews until I finished the film. Especially as I got my hands on the extended action cut! And man was I glad I gave this movie a chance, it was AWESOME.

Although it kinda blows that one of the only actors to make it from the first movie is Channing Tatum - who dies before even the first half hour mark - we could do worse than gaining the Rock playing Roadblock who makes up for lack of acting talent with natural charisma and Adrianne Palicki playing Lady Jaye - and man do they get the most out of her sex appeal, for better or for worse. We also have Bruce Willis playing a character who never appeared in the animated series, which is where any of my extremely limited GI Joe knowledge comes from. But trust me, whether you know who he is or not, wait until you see this guys house and you'll fall in love with him just like all the rest. It's just a shame we've just got some random douche playing Flint.

The villains are a much better handled bunch. We have Ray Stevenson added to the roster playing an utterly badass, and scarily brutal depiction of Firefly. You also have Byung-hun Lee back as the sexy ninja badass Storm Shadow - who also gets a chance to play both sides of the fence this time and trust me, seeing him and Snake Eyes fight side by side is just as glorious as it sounds! Pryce gets to continue to chew the scenery as Zartan masquerading as the President. They cut Destro out of the movie to save recasting him I suppose. And although Cobra Commander has been recast, thanks to a "cool mask" (says Zartan) and the need for breathing apparatus Cobra Commander could have been played by anyone. I was just unfortunate to look on IMDb to find out he was played by a former Home and Away actor. Jesus.

Like every good action movie should, Retaliation arms our heroes and villains with heaps of ridiculous sci-fi gadgets that defy logic and have no explanations for how they work.

Even when it isn't relying on magical sci-fi mcguffins Jon M. Chu proves to be a surprisingly competent director for someone who has made two Justin Bieber documentaries. He stages his fights well, and showcases some awesome stunts and impressive visceral combat which bleeds style with a budget to match as we leap from epic ninja fights, to huge gun battles, to ridiculous vehicles and heaps and heaps of explosions. Just like the themesong said, the GI Joes take the fight from land, to sea to air!

It certainly helps that it doesn't feel quite so 'trapped by 12a' with violence that turns out to be much more brutal, and much bloodier, than I was expecting. It actually becomes pretty intense at points too as the villains end up getting away with quite a lot overall, considering they end up killing off most of the Joe's and apparently kill everyone in England. Sure it's a cardboard world, full of plastic figurines, but DAMN.

Sadly the 'shit got real' turning point of Duke's death is when the film really starts to go downhill. If you don't engage these action figure skirmishes with a childlike manner of glee and with a tongue in cheek good humour then you start to realise just how disturbing these action set pieces are. But most importantly the movie is way too stupid to be so serious and to take itself so seriously.

Thankfully as the second act kicks into high gear the movie is just way too damn ridiculous to take seriously anyway, and even though it isn't intending it, you'll be laughing your ass off all the same. And those final five minutes or so of wrap up? Easily the corniest ten minutes of 2013. More slow motion!

Well I'm about to watch the second Gintama Movie.
I don't know if I can handle this.
Update:
https://31.media.tumblr.com/634bdd0e...0mD1rlu60r.gif

I just checked out, 'I Give it a Year' as it's always good to check out your home countries cinema.

The hard part about I Give it a Year is it's often utterly terrible, but then at random moments it's actually pretty good. It tells the utterly clichéd and generic tale of two young lovers, obsessed with the idea of being IN love, who get married way too early and we watch the thing quickly go down the pan as the movie ticks every damn romcom box in the most obvious narrative trajectory for this kind of film, that the film can muster. Rose Byrne plays Nat, our leading lady, and Rafe Spall plays Josh, our leading man.

Nat is problematic in the fact that she is a completely unlikeable bitch but despite this she is, at key moments, a crucial part in some of the funniest moments, "why the FUCK has she got a lot of cat urine?!".

Josh is problematic in the fact that he is a bit of a dick, but Spall himself is someone who is so naturally charming that outside of the scenes where he's specifically meant to come across as a massive twat, you can't really hate the guy.

Most problematic though is it seems the movie both wants, and expects us, to hate Nat and Josh equally, when in reality the movie really isn't that no bias.

This almost onesided feel to the movie undermines the movies whole message and point, which is a double low blow as the message is already bland and generic as it is, without the movie undermining what little integrity the message carried. At least it's bound to get the pseudo feminists on tumblr in a crotchless panty twist, that is always a small victory.

Outside of our leading couple the film is just sort of cringeworthy. Honestly cringe seems to be one of the only things Mazer (the guy who wrote the grossly overrated Borat, he's here writing and directing this) seems to be able manage. It isn't a charming romance, it doesn't fill you with feelings of nostalgia, it doesn't ground your emotions by being true to life or have you laugh out loud, no, pretty much the entire film just has you hide behind your hands.

Honestly in a weird kinda way, it takes a certain talent to elicit such a strong reaction from the audience, even if it is revulsion and horror, so I can't really hate it. Is it a good movie? God no, it's awful. But it's certainly an experience and that has to count for something, right?

007 Skyfall

Damn that is you end a James Bond movie. The reveal of Eve, the New M. That, right there, made the movie worth it. Silva was an excellent villian to. Right up until you learn his backstory and learn it's another classic I was totured for you and it pissed me off, so I'm going to destroy shit because deep down I'm just an angry teenager with momma issues thing. That bothered me a little. I was hoping for something a bit deeper.
All in all though, which is a saying I never understood, the movie was good. Great action, good plot movement, the classic DB5. And despite Silva's backstory it's still one of my favorites.

The Spectacular Now made me realise I am at an awkward cinema watching age, I'm still young enough to remember just how shit secondary school was, the worst years of my life they were, but I'm also too old to really relate to the characters, or the events that transpire in the film. As I'm currently caught between these two points of appreciation of the coming of age drama, I found it very hard to care about any of the films incredibly generic narrative.

The difference however is the way the film approaches its subject matter, what raises it above its generic trappings is just how mature this film is. It has enough depth to make the Grand Canyon feel shallow and whenever you fear the movie is going to steer into melodrama soap opera town, the film reigns it in, constantly keeping itself grounded. It has as much drama as any episode of Eastenders, but the difference between this and Eastenders, is this is believable.

Easily the best character in the film is Sutter's Dad, played by Kyle Chandler. Tommy turns out to be a total piece of shit, but rather than making him into a pantomime villain he is naturally downplayed to feel like a more natural piece of shit and the movie wraps him in the complexity of adult relationships, and unreliable narrators meaning he is never used as a punching bag for the movie, to give the audience someone identifiable to hate. It's handled with incredible maturity.

And amazingly the acting lives up the stellar writing. The lead actor, Miles Teller, is someone I've never heard of, but I wish I had after seeing this as he tackles a character of great complexity, beautifully. He also has great chemistry with Shailene Woodley which makes their relationship very charming, even if the 'awkward realism' stuff is a little too forced to feel natural.

They're a fascinating couple, they initially seem to allow one another to build and grow, creating a satisfying on screen journey but then by the end you realise just how cancerous Sutter is. He ruins a sweet, innocent girl and it's heartbreaking because in the end, in her innocence, she allows him to get away with it.

Also Brie Larson is nice to look at.
