Her – 9/10
As you
can tell, lately I've been cramming in a lot of movies with Cam since
it is almost time for awards so the good stuff is finally coming out
after a year of some of the most booty ass films. We decided to do
another one of our double features. Last night the first film we saw
was Her. This led to jokes between us about movies with vague titles
like Them, They Live, It, and The Thing. This movie was directed by
Spike Jonze which meant that at the very least it would be
interesting.
It
stars Theodore Twombly played by Joaquin Phoenix. He works at a place
that writes professionally made hand written letters for people.
Like, if you want to tell your kids, spouse, or friend how much you
love them this place will do it for you and Theodore is one of the
best at it. He is in the process of getting a divorce and refuses to
sign the papers. While going to sleep one night he decides to check
out some chat rooms. There is a small earpiece he wears to check
everything from email to talk to people and finds a woman to talk to
who goes from a 2 to 11 in terms of phone sex. I won't spoil what
happens but everyone in the theater was dying laughing!
