"Heroes"

Live in the moment so nothing can bring you down. There will be no tomorrow to prepare for because it will never come. This is the only reality worth aspiring to. The creation of an alternate future is denying the actual truth. Considering that there is no way to predict what will happen next there is no reason to attempt to alter the future. So today let us become people and things we've always dreamed of. Make room for the king, queen, jack and joker, we no longer to wish to wait outside the palace of incalculable dreams. It is time to come forth and embrace the love that has so long been vacant. Slip into the a state that lies on the edge of the galaxy. A good place to live, even better place to die.

In the Year Two Thousand and Thirteen

"The heart is not like a box that gets filled up, it expands in size the more you love."

Her Spike Jonze
Drift into a Buddhist like state of pure Zen. A totally original piece of art, Spike doesn't know how to do anything but.

The Wolf of Wallstreet Martin Scorsese
Carnival of cocaine frenzy. A group of friends completely losing control of their lives, similar to the last third of GoodFellas, but here Scorsese keeps the momentum for a full three hours.

Frances Ha Noah Baumbach
This film has probably been made before, but adults acting like children will never get old. There is only one way to be happy these days, and that is to embrace your inner child.

Inside Ilewyn Davis Joel and Ethan Coen
Dark comedies are the Coen's specialty, mix in folk music, being in a coming of age time vortex, gold. I found myself dying with laughter every time Ilewyn's ex goes on her terrifying rants ripping the young singer/songwriter to shreds.

Nebraska Alexander Payne
Not sure if Payne will ever make a better film, hopefully he does, but if not at lease he finally used his talents correctly. Give this man a perfect script and he will produce gold.

American Hustle David O. Russell
Found it difficult to find a character to root for, eventually getting lost in the vivid characters, before realizing the tragedy in each of these people's twisted minds.

The Way Way Back Nat Faxon and Jim Rash
Every scene with Sam Rockwell is an absolute delight. An expertly paced treat with many very subtle life lessons squeezed in.

Mud Jeff Nichols
Everything about the film is perfect from the tight script, perfectly acted cast and the beautiful cinematography. Why Nichols chose the upbeat, but lyrically meaningful Beach Boys tune "Help Me Rhonda" for the credits is the only question mark.

Don Jon Joseph Gordon-Levitt
A truthful look into the warped sense love that exists all too frequently in today's twenty-something's. Levitt asks us if it is possible to rectify this fault through the guidance of an older generation.

Blue Jasmine Woody Allen
When Woody decides to go dark, he goes very dark. This doesn't have as much trademark Woody thrown in, which is a good thing. Cate Blanchett and Sally Hawkins are perfect but Bobby Cannavale has quickly emerged as a must watch in every role he plays.

Upstream Color Shane Carruth
Came upon this film randomly on Netflix because the plot description sounded interesting. Little did I know that the story would be shrouded with mystery even after the second and third viewing.

This is the End Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogen
My only friend. Making the characters play themselves allows viewers to imagine that they are trapped inside the house with their pretend movie pals.

The East Zal Batmanglij
A thriller with no true villain or hero. The film simply presents the facts without choosing sides in the battle between big businesses and those who wish to drag them down.

Gravity Alfonso Cuarón
Pure entertainment done with class. Unrealistic at times, but still educational. Moral is that the Russians will screw everything up, but it's okay because the Chinese will save the day.

The Worlds End Edgar Wright
Behind all the witty comedic dialogue and superb action sequences lies a man struggling with severe depression and substance abuse. All it takes is the apocalypse to fill that empty void he felt since his high school heyday.

Behind the Candelabra Steven Soderbergh
A perfect love story without feeling too campy or gay. It's just a simple tale of love, loss and celebrity guiding the decisions of lives.

Before Midnight Richard Linklater
It was very difficult to watch these two fight, especially after almost twenty years of watching them fall in love over and over again. It still delivered on Linklater's trademark way of feeding us dime store philosophy through excellent dialogue.

Stoker Park Chan-wook
A combination of beautiful cinematography and creepiness. Nobody really does is better than Chan-wook. Hope Oldboy re-make doesn't disappoint.

Side Effects Steven Soderbergh
I only wish more films would have Channing Tatum die at the beginning of act II. The overall annoyance level of actors like Jude Law and Catherine Zeta-Jones is toyed with until finally the beloved Rooney Mara is turned evil.

Star Trek Into Darkness J.J. Abrams
The only difficult part to watch is the climax. It's very apparent that the film is coming to an end and the characters won't be seen again for another five years.

Only God Forgives Nicolas Winding Refn
Kristin Scott Thomas comes on like a typhoon of destruction that only a higher power could grant severance to. Boring film, but nevertheless brilliant.
