Oldboy

Joe (Josh Brolin) is an unpleasant young man - slipshod in his work, arrogant and self-serving in his relationships with others, borderline alcoholic, a bad father to his 3-year-old daughter, and generally a waste of space. After a night which ends with him rolling drunk in the street, he wakes to find himself in a locked room. For 20 years. During this time he cleans himself up and discovers himself, writing many unsent letters to the daughter who he sometimes sees growing up in occasional TV programmes about the murder of her mother, a murder which is blamed on Joe. Released without explanation after 20 years, he initially goes in pursuit of his daughter, aided by volunteer doctor Marie (Elizabeth Olsen) until his mysterious captor (and murderer of his ex-wife) sets him to solve the puzzle of his imprisonment: if he fails then his daughter will also be murdered.

The Iron Lady (2012)

$Watch The Iron Lady Watch123movies-Tells the story of a woman who smashed through the barriers of gender and class to be heard in a male-dominated world. The story concerns power and the price that is paid for power, and is a surprising and insightful portrait of an extraordinary and complex woman. Review: Meryl Streep delivers a stupendous performance as Margaret Thatcher under the guidance of Phyllida Lloyd. The pair can evidently work very well together after the success of Mamma Mia. The film goes through the life of Margaret Thatcher beginning as a young Margaret Roberts working at her father\'s grocery store and daring to be different as guided by her proud father. A continuous of very well crafted and sewn together flashbacks provide the magnificent story of one of the most famous or infamous one could say women politicians in the world history. Maggie as a non conventional wife with her ever amusing husband Denis by her side, who she still \'communicates\' with during her dark frail days of dementia. As a Ma – as her daughter Carol (Olivia Colman) calls her- we don\'t see much of her motherly side, however until her older days she continues to be kind ad understanding. The political aspect of the Iron Lady, is one of a fighter, a fierce human being; wavering between ethnicism and humanitarianism from the one hand, especially on the early days, and on the other hand a strong conviction and belief that her decisions were for the better. The film does provide an account of the rises and falls of the Thathcerian years and the proud, ostentatious even attitude of Maggie herself. A series of events of the contemporary British History that most of the nation will be able to relate to. Margaret Thatcher has been a highly debatable figure who received both praise and strong criticism by civilians and political circles. The viewer should not expect the movie to be neither a documentary nor a historical account but rather the days and tales of an extraordinary individual who left her mark in the political history and became a great inspiration for women. Phyllida Lloyd, provides the story of Margaret Thatcher in the most cinematic and theatrical way supported by Meryl Streep\'s Oscar standard performance and this is a good enough reason for cine lovers irrelevant of political views and ideologies. A movie for the young to learn and for the older to remember…an absolute joy of the wide screen! \$

The Descendants (201

$Watch The Descendants Watch123movies-With his wife Elizabeth on life support after a boating accident, Hawaiian land baron Matt King takes his daughters on a trip from Oahu to Kauai to confront the young real estate broker, who was having an affair with Elizabeth before her misfortune. Review: The Descendants is a tragic and heartfelt family drama set against a backdrop of the sights and sounds of modern Hawaii. The music is wonderful, and the scenery of several Hawaiian islands is amazing. George Clooney is outstanding as the father of a family torn apart by tragedy. His character deals with unsettling secrets of his dying wife and his broken relationships with his two troubled daughters. Forced to deal with the consequences of neglecting his family, Clooney does a great job capturing conflicting and powerful emotions. Shailone Woodley does a wonderful job as the rebellious older daughter, who captures the anger and hurt of a teenager betrayed by her mother and abandoned by her father. Her relationship with her father is the heart of the movie, and they slowly learn to rely on each other for support and strength in dealing with the loss of their mother/wife. The film has a wonderful supporting cast that adds humanity and heart to the tragic story. Nick Krause stands out as the oldest daughter\'s friend, who adds a touch of laughter and perspective to the film. His open and carefree personality grates on the characters initially but helps them to eventually gain perspective on the tragic events. Overall, the Descendants was an excellent movie that captures the raw emotions of a family dealing with betrayal, pain, and loss and learning to draw together for love and support.$

Contraband (2012)

$Watch Contraband Watch123movies-Mark Wahlberg leads the cast of Contraband, an action-thriller about a man trying to stay out of a world he worked hard to leave behind and the family he\'ll do anything to protect. Set in New Orleans, the film explores the cutthroat underground world of international smuggling - full of desperate criminals and corrupt officials, high-stakes and big payoffs-where loyalty rarely exists and death is one wrong turn away. Chris Farraday (Wahlberg) long ago abandoned his life of crime, but after his brother-in-law, Andy (Caleb Landry Jones), botches a drug deal for his ruthless boss, Tim Briggs (Giovanni Ribisi), Chris is forced back into doing what he does best-running contraband-to settle Andy\'s debt.

$Watch The Awakening Watch123movies-1921 England is overwhelmed by the loss and grief of World War I. Hoax exposer Florence Cathcart visits a boarding school to explain sightings of a child ghost. Everything she knew in unravels as the \'missing\' begin to show themselves. Review: The Awakening is a derivative film drawing on The Others, The Innocents and even a shade of The Shining. That said it works beautifully.Ghost buster Florence is sent to a school to investigate a haunting.What is brilliant about this film is the evocative atmosphere of the teachers having returned from the First World War to teach in this school where the occurrences have taken place.To go into the plot and describe say the movement of a Dolls House that Florence keeps on examining would ruin it! It is beautifully written, photographed and directed. The acting is strong on all fronts -- Children adults and ghosts respectively!$

Tinker Tailor Soldie

$Watch Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy Watch123movies-In the early 1970s during the Cold War, the head of British Intelligence, Control, resigns after an operation in Budapest, Hungary goes badly wrong. It transpires that Control believed one of four senior figures in the service was in fact a Russian agent - a mole - and the Hungary operation was an attempt to identify which of them it was. Smiley had been forced into retirement by the departure of Control, but is asked by a senior government figure to investigate a story told to him by a rogue agent, Ricky Tarr, that there was a mole. Smiley considers that the failure of the Hungary operation and the continuing success of Operation Witchcraft (an apparent source of significant Soviet intelligence) confirms this, and takes up the task of finding him. Through the efforts of Peter Guillam, Smiley obtains information that eventually leads him to Jim Prideaux, the agent at the heart of the Hungary fiasco. He is then able to put together the pieces of the puzzle, which lead him to the identity of the mole and the true intent of Operation Witchcraft. Review: Tomas Alfredson\'s Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is one of the best British films for a long time and perhaps my film of the year. There is not much I can criticise about the film, the plot, adapted from the best-selling novel by John Le Carre, is top-notch; Alfredson\'s direction captures the Cold War perfectly and there is certainly nothing to criticise about its performances. This film has some of the best British actors working today, with Gary Oldman leading as George Smiley, an experienced spy with a troubled past, Benedict Cumberbatch and Tom Hardy as operatives caught up in the hunt for a Russian mole, who could be a number of high-ranking men in MI6, including Colin Firth and Toby Jones and, as John Hurt\'s Control may suspect, Smiley himself. I recommend this film not only to people who enjoy espionage/ cold war thrillers but anyone who appreciates film in its excellence and a showcase of Oscar-worthy performances.$

The Girl with the Dr

$Watch The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo Watch123movies-This English-language adaptation of the Swedish novel by Stieg Larsson follows a disgraced journalist, Mikael Blomkvist (Daniel Craig), as he investigates the disappearance of a wealthy patriarch\'s niece from 40 years ago. He is aided by the pierced, tattooed, punk computer hacker named Lisbeth Salander (Rooney Mara). As they work together in the investigation, Blomkvist and Salander uncover immense corruption beyond anything they have ever imagined. Review: David Fincher, known for his intensely gloomy films; directs the American adaptation of Stieg Larsson\'s book. Having not read the book or having seen the Swedish film I wasn\'t entirely sure what was coming, but held high expectations because of the cast and director. With established greats like Christopher Plummer and Stellan Skarsgård acting was bound to be good, however, Rooney Mara is the one who steals the show. Rooney plays the role of Lisbeth Salander, an anti-social hacker with a hate for men who abuse women. She helps Mikael Blomkvist research the Vanger family history in hopes to reveal which family member was responsible for the disappearance of another 40 years earlier. The film has a great flow to it and kept my full interest throughout. Everything about the film was flawless. The score, cinematography, direction, acting were all brilliant, but nothing comes close to Rooney Mara\'s breakthrough performance. Rooney Mara\'s portrayal of Lisbeth is one that can\'t be missed and one you won\'t forget. She has now proved herself as an elite actress. With Fincher\'s magic and Mara\'s acting this is easily the year\'s best film.$

Young Adult (2011)

$Watch Young Adult Watch123movies-Soon after her divorce, a fiction writer returns to her home in small-town Minnesota, looking to rekindle a romance with her ex-boyfriend, who is now married with kids. Review: Growing old can be tough for a lot of people. This film gives an intriguing examination of this fact and incorporates it into a fine story. In one of the best films of 2011, Charlize Theron generates well-deserved Oscar Buzz for her believable performance as Mavis Gary, a tween-novel writer who comes to terms with her adulthood. I also must compliment the performance of Patton Oswalt, an underrated actor who succeeds as a disabled man who befriends Mavis. This film\'s story could have turned out to be another dreadful romantic comedy, but its execution makes it truly special. Every scene is shot with subtlety and finesse to show off the well-blended comedic and dramatic aspects. As you look at the style of directing, you will notice the true talent of Jason Reitman (along with the script-writing genius of Diablo Cody). After seeing this, I am quite interested in checking out Juno. Hopefully, it will be as good as this selection of cinematic gold.$

Being Elmo: A Puppet

$Watch Being Elmo: A Puppeteer's Journey Watch123movies-The film traces Kevin Clash\'s rise from his modest beginnings in Baltimore to his current success as the man behind Elmo, one of the world\'s most recognizable and adored characters. Millions of children tune in daily to watch Elmo, yet when Kevin walks down the street he is not recognized. Pivotal to the film is the exploration of Jim Henson\'s meteoric rise, and Kevin\'s ultimate achievement of his goal to become part of the Henson family of puppeteers. In addition to puppeteering Elmo, Mr. Clash is arguably the creative force behind today\'s Sesame Street, producing, directing and traveling around the globe training other puppeteers. Includes interviews with Frank Oz, Rosie O\'Donnell, Whoopi Goldberg, Carroll Spinney, Joan Ganz Cooney, Marty Robinson, Fran Brill, and Bill Barretta.$

The Darkest Hour (20

$Watch The Darkest Hour Watch123movies-In Moscow, five young people lead the charge against an alien race who have attacked Earth via our power supply. Review: This movie is much better than its rating indicates. Give this movie a chance if you are interested in Sci-Fi movies. The acting isn\'t great, but who goes to this type of movie looking for Oscar-worthy performances? The special effects are actually pretty good. There are several plot twists that are unexpected, also. It starts off a little slowly, but once it gets going it moves along at a very quick pace. For some reason this movie is receiving some bad reviews on IMDb. Go ahead and give this movie a chance, I don\'t think you\'ll be disappointed. Overall, not a bad way to spend an hour and a half. Better than its receiving credit for.$
