Stealing Las Vegas (2012)
Not bad and Message Matters
Solid enough acting, et cetera; plot resembles other films to some degree, but end and message are unique; 'especially nice is that the fascist exploitation(the bad guy has a thing for taking photos of people for unsavory reasons, that much of a plot-spoiler I throw in for possible motive to watch: exploitative people generally are evil, but those types are bottom of the barrel). Hopeful sentiment(the poor can vanquish the greedy/evil) is one all to need to consider. The actors are generally unknown, and all skilled enough to consider "good"; the writing is decent(the topless/stripper stuff feels like extra baggage, but is not too-excessive); the direction has some fascinating angles/choices; the low scores given by reviewers seems bizarre.
Robin Hood (1973)
Best of the "Classic" Era Disney Animation Features
I have made a point now to watch/re-watch(a few) all the early/artistry-based Disney animation features, 'as this had been oft-described as the best overall animation ever produced. I have been astounded at how bad the drawing-paint looks in only one early Disney feature("Alice in Wonderland"): it looks and plays as hollow. I have been newly informed and hugely impressed by the unfamiliar title of "Sword and the Stone", which is an excellent film start to finish.
"Robin Hood" stands apart/alone as almost perfect among the lot, starting with "Snow White" and ending with "Rescuers"; I am not huge on the love-song(though I'll guess, for some, this is a highlight)...and still this film so impresses, from story-development, to look, to specific art in standout scenes/images: one is inspired with awe. 'An amazing presentation, the pinnacle of art-driven animation(versus cgi), and this will never be matched again.
This film is a must see for all ages, and inspires on so many levels, from love to politics...all people should be persuaded to take this cinema experience to heart.
