Fall Preview: Argo, Moonrise Kingdom, Seven Psychopaths, Looper

Must See Movies For This Fall:
The following is a review of several movies coming out this Fall that already have buzz both with general audiences and critics.

Argo:
The declassified story of a CIA operative who has to infiltrate a hostile Iran in order to save six Americans seeking refuge in the house of a Canadian ambassador. The film is based off of the 1979 Iran hostage crisis, which adds to the intensity of this political thriller.

Moonrise Kingdom:
This film is going to be a serious awards contender because of it's trueness to film form and cinema photography.  The plot is a classic style love story of a young boy and girl who meet, run away together, and fall in love.  However the spin on this movie is that both are begin chased by a ragtag team of campers and camp councilors.  The director Wes Anderson has been on a hot streak with his films and this film seems to continue his run.

Seven Psychopaths:
The story of a man who becomes wrapped up in the crime industry after accidentally kidnapping a dog belonging to gangster.  This star studded cast includes Colin Farrell, Woody Harrelson, Abbie Cornish, Sam Rockwell, Olga Kurylenko, and Tom Waits.  This dark comedy has such a solid cast and such an interesting plot it will be interesting to see how general audiences react to this new take on comedy.

 Looper:
This film so going to be a psychological thriller/action flick to remember.  Staring Bruce Willis and Joseph Gordon-Levitt this movie has the star power and script to be a box office power house.  The story of a future mob that sends enemies into the past (our present) to be executed and eliminated is a fresh new idea with a lot of potential.  Such an interesting concept is sure to insight many plot twists and turns that will surely bring about a lot of buzz.
