11 Feb Staff Move Review: 21 Jump Street & Argo

21 Jump Street B+

This was a hilarious and refreshing take on the retro-tv-remake-movie. I laughed at nearly every scene, and I was massively entertained by both lead performances. I have always enjoyed Jonah Hill, but Channing Tatum surprised me with some genuinely brilliant deliveries.

Argo A+

Argo is winning a lot of awards and it really does deserve it. An extremely solid and interesting script, a masterful (though sadly unrecognized by the academy) directing effort, and a phenomenal cast make this a strong candidate for best film of the year. It was a really great year, and its hard to stand out, but Argo does stand out, if even just barely.
