2 Days in New York (2012)

Few years later after 2 Days in Paris  we find Marion (Julie Delpy) divorced, with a kid and a new boyfriend Mingus (Chris Rock) in New York. Marion is unsuccessfully artist who is ready to sell her soul. Her family has come to visit her for the exhibition.
Cultural misunderstandings is an excellent base for a good comedy. You set French and Americans in one place and laughs are guarantied.

Cosmopolis (2012)

What a disappointment! Long since I have seen such a boring movie. The idea of movie may have been great but execution of it was painful. For the last ten minutes in my mind I was begging to kill Pattinson that this boredom would end.  Robert Pattinson played perfectly Eric Packer, boring and emotionless. Every one else had a minor appearance.  Most dialogs seemed theatrical and meaningless.
A young billionaire goes through the city in his white limo yo get a hair cut. During this journey his life falls apart, he looses everything money, wife and life (?)

The Angels' Share (2012)

I went to this movie because I was in Edinburgh and what movie can be better then one happening in Scotland.

Robbie becomes interested in a whiskey world when he comes up with a plan. He and three of his pals start a dangerous adventure...
Angesl' Share is a sweat comedy with lots of very funny moments.

Abraham Lincoln:Vampire Hunter (2012)

Another vampire movie is out. This movie is a mix of fantasy and history. I wouldn't be surprised that in few years teachers in school will receive essays on Lincoln as a vampire hunter.
Abraham Lincoln (Benjamin Walker) as a boy sees how a vampire kills his mother. As a young man he meets Henry Sturges (Dominic Cooper) who teaches him how to hunt vampires. In time Lincoln's zeal against vampires turns from active action into political action. However, he vampires never leave him.
The movie is quite entertaining, may be because at times it is stupid and laughable such as scenes on train and hunt for Jack Barts. There is nothing really to praise it for. It is neither good or bad.
