The "Bully" Movie Controversy

The movie “Bully” is a documentary that focuses on children bullying one another. It is a film to raise awareness on the issue and show the perspective of being the victim. The F-word is heard in the film and some movie critics say the film should be rated-R, because of use of the foul language. But, if the film is rated-R, then this would not allow kids to see the film. Especially it is made to target these middle school and high school students. The movie company wants to “bleep” out the F-words to make it rated-PG 13, allowing kids to go see the film without a parental guardian. However, the producers prefer to keep the F-words to make a stronger impact on the viewers. F-word or no F-word we can all agree that “Bullying” is not Fun.

Wrath becomes a pleasure with powerful Titans

Wrath of Titans is a movie full of action and begins with a battle between the Titans and the gods continues in this sequel set ten years after the events in Clash of the Titans, as Perseus (Sam Worthington) descends into the underworld on a mission to rescue Zeus from the clutches of Hades (Ralph Fiennes), Ares (Edgar Ramirez), and Kronos. In the wake of his decisive victory against the Kraken, Perseus has retreated to a remote fishing village to raise his young son, Helius. Meanwhile, humanity has lost faith in the gods.

This movie has decent visual effects and Liam Neeson gives up on the dull dialogue and simply let the action do the talking. Director Jonathan Liebesman (World Invasion: Battle LA) deserves credit for the well choreographed fight sequences that make good use of both sound and visual effects. As for the action sequences, the focus is generally on Perseus’ attempts at survival, so some of the cutting is a bit too close and tight for my tastes.  However, the larger the opponent, the wider Liebesman shoots and the longer he holds each shot that many scenes like these were replete with loud, blaring battles and glum so in few words is an entertaining movie that deserves two thumbs up and will be distributed in many movie IMAX 3D on March 30.th

 

The new gossip girl in Damsels in Distress

Whit Stillman’s Damsels in Distress is a comedy about a trio of beautiful girls as they set out to revolutionize life at a grungy American university – the dynamic leader Violet Wister (Greta Gerwig), principled Rose (Megalyn Echikunwoke) and sexy Heather (Carrie MacLemore) and is open to the theaters in April 6th. They welcome transfer student Lily (Analeigh Tipton) into their group which seeks to help severely depressed students. Although is a hilarious and bizarre movie it has some break out actors Charlie (Adam Brody), dreamboat Xavier (Hugo Becker) and the mad frat pack of Frank (Ryan Metcalf) and Thor (Billy Magnussen). In some parts of the plot some actors look bored out of their minds and is a little bit disappointing that these people do not exist in real life and I really wish it. They pass the time engaged in empathetic student outreach activity which seems only to serve their own inflated sense of moral superiority. For example, the girls are seen alternating shifts at the campus Suicide Prevention Center where they expend more energies looking down their navels and policing the centre’s free donuts than, you know, preventing suicide.

It’s easy to forgive a movie its flaws when it makes the argument that trying to be an individual and unique is just a monstrous pain when the main character distinctions here are that of naïveté and conscious hypocrisy rather than the self-serving venom of Stillman’s earlier works, which suggests that his perception of modern superficiality is masked by liberal pretence and genuine ignorance. Honestly, I guess as a viewer, I would like to see another movie in which I don’t have to waste my time in fake aristocratic females but for some it reflects the innocence deserted in a teen movie like this.
