Real Steel (2011)
An emotional roller-coaster
This movie is a perfect blend of comedy, action and values. I was blown away by Dakota Goyo's performance and the chemistry he had with Hugh Jackman (and Atom). The plot keeps you excited about what happens next and there was a perfect balance of action and drama. The fight scenes were very realistic and we are dragged along together with Atom, Charlie & Max throughout the emotional journey that they are undertaking. Hats off to the writers who created a main character (Charlie Kenton) who is an asshole but you cannot stop rooting for him. From the first minute of the film, you start to feel involve with him and this doesn't stop until the last minute. Overall, a very good film and I hope Hollywood won't spoil it by having a sequel.
One Day (2011)
This film tells the story of Emma & Dexter, meeting at the same date, every year in their lives.
People keep saying that movie adaptations from novels are usually not the same. Some are bad, some are okay, but in this case, it was beautiful. Lots of credit goes to David Nicholls for his excellent screenplay. Everything was PERFECT. Timeline, storyline and even the small details was well written. The acting was impeccable too. What about Anne Hathaway's accent? No problems there. Jim Sturgess plays the character Dexter perfectly. Most people would say that The Notebook is the top romantic teary eyed film. I tell them this: One Day is way better. It shows that two people can have friendship, loyalty, affection and love continuously. Watch it. Whether you have read the book or not, you will fall in love with Dexter & Emma !
