Most people will recognize the story, but unless you see the movie or read his book, its hard to get a true understanding. I encourage everyone to head out and check this movie out now.

127 Hours
Simply amazing! This has been by far one of the best movies I have seen in awhile. James Franco gave an amazing performance about the true story of Aron Ralston, the climber and adventurer who cut off his own arm when it got trapped under a boulder.

The Green Hornet (2011)
I am a Seth Rogan fan, but before I saw this movie, I questioned why he did it because it's not typically his style. However, once I watched the movie, I thought he fit very nicely with the role.
The Goods - Funny, loads of action, and Kato was amazing. It was a very interesting twist to Kato, because I think they changed him a little from Bruce Lee's Kato. I also liked and appreciated the humor that they added with Bruce Lee. Hopefully Jay Chou (Kato) makes it as a movie star. The Bads - I'm not sure Seth Rogan's character was really capable of all that he did. Obviously he was a spoiled idiot and I'm sure half the stuff he pulled he would have failed at. Also, maybe Kato was just a little over the top amazing.

Buried
I've wanted to watch this movie for quite some time now. I've heard mixed reviews already but it had a big name star so I figured it was worth my time. However, upon watching the movie I was somewhat dissapointed. It was clever to film the entire movie in a coffin. It really shows the acters perspective the entire time.
The Goods - It was intense. In all honesty, within the first 10 minutes of the movie I felt uncomfortable and trapped similar to Ryan Reynold's character. And I mean that in a good way. I almost turned it off because it was that rough. I could picture myself in the situation and it was not pretty. I kept wondering the entire time if he was going to make it out or not which is what the movie wants. The camera work was great considering how limited of views you can have trapped in a box.
The Bads - You can picture yourself in that situation, but it's hard to truly imagine what you would do if you were him. Honestly, I thought the conversations he had throughout his time in the box should have gone a different way. I'm not sure I would have purposly argued and yelled at people if I knew my life was at stake.
