Scott Pilgrim Vs The World

Edgar Wright's Scott Pilgrim Vs The World is a great many things. It is a love story for the comic book age. It is the story of a slacker forced to grow up. It is a kick ass fight spectacle. It is a nostalgic glance back on the golden age of eight bit video games. It is a blazing soundtrack brought to vivid life on screen. It is a coming out party for a cadre of young stars. It is arguably the most unusual and unlikely big studio film since The Adventures Of Buckaroo Banzai Across The Eighth Dimension. It is director Wright's chance to prove himself as a formidable talent all on his own, removed from the comfortable environs of the UK, his own original source material and his cozy working partnership with Shaun of the Dead and The Hot Fuzz collaborators Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. But, most of all, it is one of the greatest graphic novel adaptations ever to hit the screen, an absolute blast from start to finish, a film that sets the bar for itself almost impossibly high and then hits every single mark along the way.

For those unfamiliar with the source material, here's the core of the story. Scott Pilgrim is a young man in his early twenties. He lives in Toronto. He is perpetually unemployed, scraping by largely thanks to the goodwill of his gay roommate Wallace with whom he shares a bed in a platonic manner. He is unmotivated and self absorbed, though in a mostly charming rather than obnoxious way. He plays bass in a middling band called Sex Bob-omb and is still getting over the break up of the only serious relationship he has had in his life a year before, the girl he thought was the one ditching him when her own band became a success. To help get over this relationship he has started dating a seventeen year old, Chinese high school girl named Knives Chau. This relationship works because it is non-threatening. But then Scott meets the beautiful and aloof Ramona Flowers, a girl from New York moved to Toronto to get away from a bad relationship of her own and Scott is immediately smitten. Never mind Knives - but don't tell her about it either, because that would be too hard - Scott must have Ramona. Too bad she has a League of Seven Evil Exes who any prospective new boyfriend must fight and defeat to have a chance with her.

"The Expendables" is a hard-hitting action/thriller about a group of mercenaries hired to infiltrate a South American country and overthrow its ruthless dictator. Once the mission begins, the men realize things aren’t quite as they appear, finding themselves caught in a dangerous web of deceit and betrayal. With their mission thwarted and an innocent life in danger, the men struggle with an even tougher challenge – one that threatens to destroy this band of brothers.

Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone) is a man with nothing to lose. Fearless and void of emotion, he is the leader, the sage and the strategist of this tight-knit band of men who live on the fringe. His only attachment is to his pickup truck, his seaplane and his team of loyal modern-day warriors. His is a true cynic who describes what he does as "removing those hard to get at stains." The team behind him is made up of Lee Christmas (Jason Statham), former SAS and a savant with anything that has a blade; Yin Yang (Jet Li), a master at close-quarter combat; Hale Caesar (Terry Crews), who has known Barney for ten years and is a long-barrel weapons specialist; Toll Road (Randy Couture), a skilled demolitions expert and considered the intellect of the group; and Gunnar Jensen (Dolph Lundgren), a combat veteran and an expert in precision sniping who struggles with his own demons.

When the mysterious Church offers Barney a job no one else would take, Barney and his team embark on what appears to be a routine mission: overthrow General Gaza (David Zayas), the murderous dictator of the small island country of Vilena and end the years of death and destruction inflicted on its people. On a reconnaissance mission to Vilena, Barney and Christmas meet their contact Sandra (Giselle Itie), a local freedom-fighter with a dark secret. They also come to learn who their true enemy is: rogue ex-CIA operative James Monroe (Eric Roberts) and his henchman Paine (Steve Austin). When things go terribly wrong, Barney and Christmas are forced to leave Sandra behind, essentially giving her a death sentence. Haunted by this failure, Barney convinces the team to return to Vilena to rescue the hostage and finish the job he started. And to perhaps save a soul: his own.

In Toy Story 3, a story that’s been decades in the making finally comes to completion, and culminates not in a fight scene or a stirring speech, but in what feels like a new kind of love. The Toy Story franchise ends in a few perfect moments, a final goodbye, a last expression of that new, heart-wrenching feeling. What do I call this lump in my throat? Can we really love an inanimate object as truly as Andy seems to love Woody? Can an inanimate object love us back? Toy Story 3 makes a rather convincing case for the affirmative. Does it really matter? It feels like it does.

It matters because it isn’t really the toy we love, but what it represents. Toy Story 3 begins not in Andy’s room but inside Andy’s imagination. Woody’s in a race to save the day, and it’s as if he’s been launched straight into the wild west. There’s a train robbery, a desert cliff, and a race against time. For a few beautiful moments, we see what Andy sees when he plays with Woody, the worlds his cowboy pal unlocks, and the places that takes him. And it’s imagination that Pixar loves, and imagination that we’ve fallen so desperately in love with over the course of these films. Yet it’s even more than that here. Toy Story 3 takes it even further, it’s a movie in love with life, and the memories of life, and all the heartaches, and changes, and beautiful, wonderful, happy times that happen and the ways in which they’ll never be forgotten.
