Her

Rating: 9/10 (24 June 2014)

I want it known that I have no problem with romance movies. It's just that the genre doesn't turn out as much classic worthy material that I'd get with others like Drama, Animation, Action. However, here comes Her and I now have MY favorite romance film since 500 Days of Summer. Ted is played a sweet, soft-spoken man who's at a difficult point in his life romantically. One day, an new advanced OS system is released to the public and Ted makes the fateful choice of downloading it to his computer and phone to help make work a little easier. Soon enough he sees just how intelligent and human this voice, self named Samantha, really is. I love Her, frankly I couldn't get enough of Her. Joaquin Phoenix kills it in his role, and after coming off of his bat poop crazy performance in The Master? Pfsh the man has range like clutch Ray Allen shot. Scarlett Johansson is literally just a voice, but what she does with that alone got me all choked up and admittedly flustered. The movie is shot beautifully and the sci-fi side is nicely done. All the characters dialog is very well written, especially Samantha's discussions on how she views humanity. The music is awesome, the entire cast is pretty good. This is a great movie of technology and love and life. I give this my highest recommendation.
