The Way, Way Back

The Way, Way Back

This film by Nat Faxon and Jim Rash, have created another hit. Young star, Liam James, portrays young depressed teenager Duncan. With an amazing cast, and an amazing script, this film brings comedy and drama, and combines it into a good mix. Steve Carell plays something other than his normal comedy self. Sam Rockwell was very good also. This movie was one of the good ones of 2013. 8/10.

Lee Daniels' The Butler

Lee Daniels' The Butler

The 2013 movie about the life of Cecil Gaines and his work as butler at the White House. The film has amazing makeup and I would be surprised if there wasn't an Oscar nomination there. The character portrayals are very good. The music I like quite well, as well as the writing and acting. I give it an 8/10.
