My Favorite Movies of 2013: #15-7

No need for chit-chat, on to the rest of the list!

#15 About Time

Despite some reservations about the main character and how he build's his relationship, I really enjoyed this film. It can be pretty funny, while also being quite emotional as well. It sticks to the few rules about time travel it sets up very well, which certainly counts for a lot. This movie wins the "Much Better than the Trailer" award for 2013.

Dispatches from the Popcorn Stadium: Blue is the Warmest Color

Blue is the Warmest Color* is a very good film. It is a heartbreaking coming of age story about a young woman who finds her soul mate, and what happens after that. It's a beautiful film, and it features great performances by two young actresses. It's a film that I strongly recommend, although one of those that might be a bit awkward to watch with your family during the holidays.

Assuming you can find it near you. It's a three hour long film in French with English subtitles, so that's already two strikes against it. On top of that, it's rated NC-17, which means some theater chains won't even consider showing it.

OK, here is where I discuss the elephant in the room.
