The Art of Flight (2011)
the ART of flight
If you're looking for a beginning, middle, and end, this ain't it. Just as the title states, it's about the ART of snowboarding. It's about being in it - experiencing it. It's about a feeling. Yes, it uses super-slow-mo (a lot), and yes, it has a cooler than cool soundtrack but it's all to bring the viewer in and evoke an emotion - awe. This film brings you a little closer to a rider's world and shows snowboarding as a way of life rather than a sport.
If you've ever tried to learn to snowboard you'll know it's not just something you pick up right away - i takes effort and hard work. These riders have made a career out of making the seemingly impossible look effortless. This film depicts that in the most beautiful way possible.
Something Borrowed (2011)
don't think there is a spoiler, but it's my first review and don't wanna be blacklisted
Who likes long reviews of crap movies? Not me.
To be short, it's a movie in which everyone cheats and you (the viewer) feel bad for no one. They are all terrible people in their own ways, but nobody gets a sad ending. Life? No. At least funny? Not in the least. Yes, it's true to life, (said by the father figure, the only logic spit throughout the whole movie), a struggle between what you want and what's right.
Let's face it. In life, no one is that good looking, your friends (and you!) actually do shitty things and we don't have movie script endings.
(and btw. i do enjoy crap rom-coms. i'd watch Bride Wars over this BS any day, and i hate Anne Hathaway.)
