Writer/director Joss Whedon has done the impossible and created the greatest comic book movie of all time. He took four big name super heroes from individual films, paired them with others who have only so far made cameo appearances and brilliantly conjoined them into a single story. I am a big fan of Marvel Studios' batch of movies, and I have recently come to appreciate Whedon’s prior work, but it's when these two forces came together with The Avengers that I believe movie magic was truly, and perfectly, achieved.

Hollywood has recently been lacking original ideas and, instead, recycling films that aren’t even old enough to be considered classics quite yet. It’s almost embarrassing seeing the film industry reboot franchises, and I held firmly to this mentality when sitting down to watch the 2011 rendition of Footloose; but I'm glad to say I was proven wrong. The story is more intense, the dancing is bigger and the stakes are higher in this surprisingly entertaining and lively film.
Inspired, in equal measures, by Hurricane Katrina, Buster Keaton, The Wizard of Oz, and a love for books, The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore is a poignant, humorous allegory about the curative powers of story.
