127 hours later (127 Hours)

Last night I finally watched 127 Hours and all I can say is wow. Going into it I had worries about James Franco by himself for an hour and a half but I was, thankfully, proven wrong. Of all the Apatow kids I have to say Franco has become the best actor, and that's not to take anything from Seth Rogen, Jay Baruchel, or Jason Segal but Franco does a wide range of movies and he continues to get better as an actor. Now, back to 127 Hours, the movie takes place in a mountainous region of Utah, where James Franco purposefully tells no one exactly where he was going.  He wanted to be alone, although he does meet two girls not long after he starts his hike.  They mess around and swim for a few minutes which leads to Franco leaving them and ultimately falling down a crevice with a big rock which pancakes his arm against the wall.  Franco's character is an outdoor man and knows a lot about survival skills, this comes in handy as he is down in the hole for 127 hours before his journey comes to a conclusion. Now, this is based off a true story, which is remarkable because this is truly an incredible tale and I think everyone should give this movie a shot. I give it a 9/10...
