Feburary 2012, Movies #46-50

50. The Five Year Engagement (2012)

Rating: 8/10
Review: Caught an advanced screening of this movie and really enjoyed it to bits. This movie strikes the perfect tone between all out comedy and complete melodrama, never getting too saccharine for it's own good. This is one of the few romantic comedies that actually portrays a realistic relationship which is so rarely the case in movies made in the studio system. Highly recommended.

49. The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976)

Rating: 7/10
Review: Good revenge western that has been referenced in tons of movies. Kansas Jayhawkers are briefly mentioned as genocidal maniacs.

48. The Prince and The Showgirl (1957)

Rating: 4/10
Review: This is the movie they are shooting in "My Week with Marilyn" and that is the only reason why I put this on, while it's nice to see the sets and a few scenes that were depicted in the contemporary film this movie is dreadfully boring and wouldn't have been of note at all otherwise.

47. Justice League: The New Frontier (2008)

Rating: 7/10
Review: Enjoyable animated superheros save the Earth movie, but I didn't enjoy how much of the Green Lantern origin story was crammed into this.

46. Genius Party Beyond (2008)

Toujin Kit segment from Genius Party Beyond:

Rating: 7/10
Review: Anime short story compilation film. I really enjoyed most of the segments with Toujin Kit being my favorite that I posted above.
