"Pitch Perfect" is another example of a small budget movie that is hilariously great. The musical comedy movie brings new stuff to the table and shows us the new princess of comedy "Rebel Wilson". And soon I will be posting its review.

"The Bourne Legacy" is the first movie that I have ever reviewed. This movie is really good, and the actors "Jeremy Renner" and "Rachel Weiz" did a great job taking this franchise into another direction. Though it may have some problems in its plot, overall it's another great movie from the "Bourne" franchise.(Check out "Review: The Bourne Legacy")

"Argo" is produced and directed by "Ben Affleck", who also stars in it. The movie is really impeccably good, the script , the directing, and the acting are  just great.

-Comment:

Though I haven't watched it yet, hence the "TBA" next to my rating, any movie ,that combines "Hugh Jackman", "Helena Bonham Carter", "Russel Crowe", and "Anne Hathaway" singing, will definitely be in my list. And especially if the movie is called "Les Miserables".
