Hugo (2011)
Film 33/50

movie still of hugo looking longingly out of his clock window...must be thursday

I want to live inside a Parisian clock.

This movie has it all: style, mood, Ben Kingsley, trains, clocks, mermaids, robots, orphans, Alec Baldwin/Jack Donaghy's teenage nemesis, heart-shaped keys, love, romance, dogs, pretty smelling flowers, accordion music, the magic of filmmaking, and Jude Law. Something for everyone!

But seriously. This is a great film. Excellent characters. Elegant cinematography. Interesting story. Once again I find myself withholding details in hopes that you will see the movie rather than rely on a film review.

So if you haven't seen Hugo yet, do yourself a favor and check it out. Especially if you're a film/animation major or have an interest in the history of film.
