It’s not me, it’s Steve
Once in a while, someone comes along who loves or hates a movie with such passion that I ask them to be a guest reviewer here on Movie Rewind. It’s also really nice when the movie in question is one I have yet to see. You get a review, you get a new reviewer and I get to whet my appetite for a great new film.
Today, the film in question is Hugo. I have to admit that if not for Steve McCall, our guest reviewer du jour, and his wife Melissa I would never even have considered seeing Hugo in the theater. It’s in 3D and I generally assume that 3D will suck with its gimmickry. It’s a family movie, which I generally assume I will sleep through. And the kiss of death – it’s directed by Martin Scorsese, for whose work I have an unreasonable dislike. And yet…they loved it. And I trust them. They’re grown people like me, they like a lot of the things I like, they’re smart and witty and articulate. I pretty much just want to be them. What to do, what to do???
If you’re me, the thing to do is ask Steve to write a review to find out just what is so great about Hugo. And write one he did, a masterful review that will get my lazy butt into a theater seat to view this fantastical film. Go ahead – read it. See if it doesn’t make you want to drop what you’re doing and lose yourself in 1930’s Paris for a while. I know that’s what it does to me. Hugo, take me away!
A big thanks to Steve for writing this review – hopefully I can convince him to do another someday. And, as always, please enjoy the obnoxious multitude of links to the review itself. I’m nothing if not consistent.
