Paper Man (2009)
Worth The Watch
Defiantly a unique story, the acting was amazing and sincere as well.
I'm not a huge fan of the pacing of the movie, but I suppose I'm more used to the traditional plots points of a movie. The story was interesting, I could never guess where it was heading.However, I could never sty fully invested in the movie, at times it felt dragged out.
The plot twist at the end was some what predictable, in the sense the idea crossed my mind, but I doubted the movie would actually follow through. It was pleasantly surprising.
Overall 6/10 due to the poor pacing and how hard it was to keep invested. But the themes and the ideas behind the story remained strong.
The Saratov Approach (2013)
A good portral of a true story
I had watched interviews with the boys this even happened to, so much of the plot was familiar going in.
There are preaching moments, they are mormon missionaries after all, but none of it is ever jammed into the story. It all flows very naturally.
Overall a solid film. The camera works was intreasting, 3 outta the 4 main actors did fantasic. The music felt a little repeatitive, but that was my biggest issue with this movie.
All of the preaching furthered the story, so it gets a pass. The 8/10 rating is well deserved as I watched this movie twice in a row and enjoyed it both times.
