THE PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER (2012)

Its hard to describe what i exactly felt after watching this one. Its a mixed bag of laughter, heart break, friendship and affection. All of this combined with totally incredible performances its a brilliant story of a troubled boy without a social life and friends. I was blown away by Logan Lerman's performance as Charlie.

Charlie is an introvert and is anxious about making friends at his first day of high school. But soon he makes friends with two seniors Sam (Emma Watson) and Patrick (Ezra Miller) and eventually blends into their vivacity. He is enthusiastic about being a writer and Sam suggests him to write about their friendship. Charlie begins to see the world from their eyes and we slowly come to know about these three friends as the story uncovers their life of present and past.

                                                                           The trio

My verdict:
I loved the three characters and the movie is nothing short of phenomenal. Watching the extraordinary performances was not surprising as most of these actors have already proved their worth in their respective previous movies (Emma Watson in "Harry Potter" series and Ezra Miller in "We Need to Talk About Kevin") and this movie is surely a feather in their cap. Logan Lerman's performance is probably one of the finest performance from this year in my opinion.


Who should watch?
Just watch it, no matter what kind of movies you like, this one will surely appeal you.

PITCH PERFECT (2012)

This is an interesting teen comedy and musical. It stars Anna Kendrick and Skylar Astin in the lead roles and they are main reason why i loved it. Its completely fun and entertaining musical and all the girls and guys in the singing-groups were confident and hilarious.

The movie revolves around Beca, a freshman in the Barden University. She wants to be a music producer and has no interest in college but joins on her fathers advice. There she joins an all-girl acappella  group called Bellas who had a pretty bad experience last year in the competition which included defeat from the boys group Treble Makers from the same college. The Bellas' leader Aubrey and Chloe have a rule that no girl can ever date a Treble Maker. The contemporary singing style of Beca clashes with Aubrey's customary style and song selection which produces some tension in the group. Beca also starts hanging out with Jesse, a Treble Maker, which leads to some serious trouble within the group.

                                                                    Jesse and Beca

Its a wonderful movie with toe tapping musical performances and likeable characters. The best performance in my opinion was definitely Anna Kendricks'. There are some extremely funny moments in the movie but not only that, movie also has a good storyline and an engaging cast which sets it apart from the regular teen comedies.

My verdict:
Its engaging, charming and fun-filled musical with energy and excitement. Its hilariously entertaining and everything that regular boring teen movies miss out.

Who should watch?
There is nothing in the movie to dislike. Its filled with charismatic and funny performances so i recommend this to everyone.
