Inside Llewyn Davis
Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8eKgUW5XxQ
Review: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/12/06/movies/inside-llewyn-davis-directed-by-joel-and-ethan-coen.html?pagewanted=2
The NY Times review is very matter of fact and tells me what I already knew about the movie. It would be useful for someone who wants to ruin the movie before they see it or annoy someone who has already persevered through the 1 hr 45 min. run time of depressing disappointment. The movie, as a film, breaks no rules, and provides an interesting story for the viewer who wants to root for Lewyn Davis, who never wins. I recommend this movie to someone who wants to feel sad for a couple of hours, but then feel better about their life because there's little chance you could experience more failure than old Llewyn.

Francis Ford Coppola: Director of The Godfather
Coppola directed my favorite movie of all time and what critics believe is one of the greatest movies every made. He had the vision for the entire movie, with every detail building an amazing movie. The acting, lead by Coppola, was stellar, and without a great leader/director, a movie will never live up to its full potential. Coppola will go down in history as one of the greatest directors to ever live.

Cinematographer of John Carter: Daniel Mindel
For a movie built off of the idea of getting amazing looking shots, it needed an excellent cinematographer. Although the movie didn't receive a lot of positive recognition for its storyline and acting, the special effects and shots were astounding. With many different types of shots, many being zoomed out, showing amazing scenery, build excellent exposition for a movie.

Producer: Irwin Winkler
Produced two of my favorite movies; Goodfellas and Raging Bull. Has produced over fifty major pictures. His iconic production style shines through several movies of different plots, but similar lasting value. Goodfellas and Raging Bull both succeed because of the writing and smooth production led by the visionary, Irwin Winkler.

Terence Winter: Wolf of Wall Street
Also wrote and produced for The Sopranos. Parallels between styles of entertainment. Went to NYU and St. Johns. Writing in W.o.W. was genius in its simplicity. The drug fueled rampages were extremely intelligent, although being incredibly entertaining at the same time. There is a very fine line between good and bad in these types of movies and the writing makes the difference.
