Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World (MOVIE / 2010)Every once in a while you come across a movie that you think was made specifically with you in mind. Scott Pilgrim is one of those movies. It revolves around Michael Cera's Scott Pilgrim and his quest to obtain the hand of Ramona Flowers, which he can only accomplich by defeating her 7 evil exes. The movie is fantastic, I really cannot say enough good things about it. It's based on a comic book series that incorporates a lot of video game and music references and that really shines through. The battles are shown as if you were watching someone playing Street Fighter, and with the eventual demise of the exes occurs they explode into a sea of quarters. Another interesting fact is the way they portray Scott as a imperfect person, perhaps even as jerk at times, but not enough that would stop rooting for him. The exes all give great performances, each with their own weakness and fantastical abilities. You should get to the movies to see this one as it truly is an original and entertaining gem.
