Spring Breakers (2013)

I had no idea what to expect before watching this movie. But I'm happy I watched it, because it was 90 minutes of pure trance. That's all you need to know... Quentin Tarantino said this was his favorite movie of 2013; what more do you need to watch it?!Besides that, I don't need to summarize the plot for you because the blurb on IMDB is enough. It's basically about four girls who go to Florida for Spring Break, but a lot of illegal stuff happens along the way... and it's one of Franco's best roles on top of that.If I had to guess what kind of people would enjoy this film most, I would say young people. Parents, let this be a warning and an added layer of awareness... or a fun ride down your own memory lane.Watch it and be pleased. Oh, and don't be like most of the IMDB raters who couldn't handle the truth that was unfolding on screen, and probably opted to turning it off... this is one of those films were you can't judge it by its rating.

'Spring Breakers' may be a 'Spring Breakers' may be a visually striking film with beautiful cinematography by Benoît Debie, but unfortunately, ends up being another "style-over-substance" movie. The main flaw in this movie is the slow-moving plot that makes the movie drag on. While it's only around 90 minutes, it feels much longer and is rather difficult to maintain a focused attention. The climax of the film, however, is quite brilliant and makes you leave the film considering it wasn't that bad. The main that kept me going throughout the duration of this film were the visuals. The bright, neon color palette, combined with the beautiful direction by Harmony Korine and striking cinematography by Benoît Debie resulted in this film being hypnotic and extremely aesthetically pleasing (as can be seen in the film poster). The atmospheric score by Cliff Martinez was also a highlight and was unfortunately often disrupted by the dubstep tracks of Skrillex which was not favorable. The well-known leading actresses, such as Selena Gomez, Ashley Benson, Vanessa Hudgens who are all familiar from teenage sitcoms, were satisfactory, but nothing special in their roles. Their characters were rather complex and an odd mixture of sexism and feminism which ultimately didn't work. The highlight for acting would definitely have been James Franco, despite him playing a creepy and unlikable character. Ultimately, this movie was very stylistic with beautiful visuals and an atmospheric score that saved the movie from its boring plot and average acting from the leading female cast. film with beautiful cinematography by Benoît Debie, but unfortunately, ends up being another "style-over-substance" movie.

Four college girls hold up a restaurant in order to fund their spring break vacation. While partying, drinking, and taking drugs, they are arrested, only to be bailed out by a drug and arms dealer. Spring Breakers has a cast of actors who are clearly phoning in especially James Franco and the whole sex and nudity went to a whole new level, overall a terrible film with terrible characters and terrible perfomances. (0/10)

I didn't know anything about this one when I watched it (not any actors/actresses, not the plot, nothing). This is the hottest/sexiest movie I think I've ever seen.Here's my criticism: For starters, when the four babes got thrown in jail, I knew they wouldn't be in there for long. I rolled my eyes and muttered, "They'll get out." Specifically as they stood before the judge in their swimsuits, I knew they'd specifically get bailed out by some rich dude who's probably drooling over them. The camera eventually, slowly, drifted back into the courtroom's audience and I said, "See? Here we go; who's it gonna be?" It settled on James Franco and I said, "Him." What I'm getting at is that I saw all of that from a mile away. Very predictable.Secondly, at the end, how does the first bullet peg James Franco right in the forehead for a perfect fatal shot and not one bullet thereafter, out of the tens and tens fired at the two surviving babes from various angles, hits the broad side of a barn? I understand their friend group practiced becoming hardcore gangsta b----es, but come on, they didn't go through any kind of training or target practice to be able to dodge all that crap and blow away an entire property of thugs with machine guns.Also, this is the third pimp movie, specifically with a sex sandwich by two babes, I've seen (Wild Things and Alpha Dog before this one) that ends with the pimp meeting his final destination at the end.
