For The Love Of Film

Leo's Videos posted June 18 2012

Big Miracle, Wanderlust


Big Miracle

Release date: June 19

Runtime: 107min

Rated: PG

Genre: Family, Adventure

Storyline: A family of whales gets stuck behind a wall of ice while migrating through Alaska. Big Miracle is based on the true story of a mishmash of people who try to put together and pull off a rescue.

My Take: I found it touching and entertaining. The whale footage was fantastic and for the most part the film is well made.

Why you may like/dislike it: It's made for families, so some will find the touchy feely story line a little cheesy.

Of note: Based on a true story

Leo's Rating: 6.5/10 (if I was still a kid I would give it a 9)

 

Wanderlust

Release date: June 19

Runtime: 98min

Rated: 14A

Genre: Comedy

Storyline: Finding themselves in New York with an expensive condo and no jobs, a couple try a few alternatives to the city lifestyle.

My Take: I loved it and laughed throughout the film. The theatre was full of laughter as well.

Why you may like/dislike it: Some will find the intentional community they go to far-fetched, others very cool.

Of note: This is one of a very few rare cases were Jenifer Aniston is really good.

Leo's Rating: 9.5/10
