Last weekend I made it out to two movies, both fantastic in completely different ways. Young Adult was at the same time real and cynical in a humorous way. Charlize Theron's performance was outstanding. Her character was believable and easy to relate to--flawed yet likeable. I thought it was well-written and had just enough funny sarcasm without making it overly cynical.
I also had the opportunity to see The Artist, which was a great example of the lost art of silent film-making. It's also in black and white and I love films in black and white!! Artfully done, it focuses on the development of film from silent to talking and while it's a contemporary film, it has the look and feel of an original silent movie. If only there could have been a live orchestra to accompany it! I'm hoping this might become a new trend? : )
