This Is the End (2013)
A refreshing end of the world story with laughs.
"This Is The End" takes what your previous knowledge of what Seth Rogan and Even Goldberg's can do, and completely sets a new standard. The Film is as stated by Rogan mainly ad libbed, but it's so hard to tell because of how good all of the actors truly are with one another. Having a funny script is one thing, but having actors who can better it takes the movie that much farther, and it does just that. A majority of "stoner comedy's" have a linear plot with no progression in story, but this has a different take on it. The movie has some emotional toll to it, half due to the story since we've all been in some of the human relationships with friends while the other half is you don't want your favorite actor/character to die, or something bad happen to them.
With just one scene coming to mind that is a little to far, all of the actors give an amazing performance with references to their previous works, and a twist in the story in the second half which is almost shocking that the movie took that turn it did. Overall it's a very solid movie with laughs along the way.
Man of Steel (2013)
A Superman film that flys
"Man Of Steel" combines aspects of Snyder, and Nolan perfectly, making a film that is completely new for the big screen. Oddly enough it seems new because it's presented in almost a TV style of story telling. Throwing the audience right into the story, and main action making them (the audience) linking previous knowledge to the character(s), and what is going on right in front of them. While the story gives flashbacks on random, and even when Clark is explaining his past, giving the film a very "Breaking Bad", and "Dexter" feel. Superman finally faces a villain other than Lex Luther. General Zod is a good cinematic complement for Clark Kents alter-ego. Having a deep purpose for the main driving story, and the action that follows, and in some parts maybe even feel sympathy knowing Zod is the ultra d-bag because he was born to protect his race. Overall "Man of Steel" delivers without attempting to make a superhero movie a partial comedy, on the down side it does have a little to much destruction....Metropolis is in shambles while Smallville mine as well not exist. None the less, it works, it works out very well.
