Don Jon

Joseph Gordon-Levitt is Jon, a New Jersey stud whose real relationships with women come in second to his addiction to online porn. Scarlett Johansson is the woman he "falls in love" with. She's a control freak who finds it "embarrassing" that he cleans his own apartment (that's women's work) and breaks up with him because he lies about watching porn. Julianne Moore is a widow taking a night class at a college with Jon. After Jon's breakup, he connects with Moore's character and finally discovers a real relationship. Anyway, this is a movie with a good idea, a good cast and mediocre execution. It never really gets above mediocre, which is too bad. 6/10.

Her

Joaquin Phoenix plays Theodore, a profoundly depressed man living in a near-future version of LA. He buys an operating system with true AI that takes on a female persona, voiced by Scarlett Johansson. They develop a relationship and he eventually falls in love with her. This is an incredible movie with Phoenix expertly portraying the sadness and loneliness of his character and the joys he experiences when the relationship blossoms. This is also a weird movie with some incredibly strange scenes. Theo's relationship is not seen as all that unusual and others have the same type with their own devices. Can't say enough about the performance from Phoenix - quite possibly the best acting I've ever seen. Just incredible. And the added bonus of Amy Adams, a top, top favorite of mine. This was far and away my favorite movie of 2013/14 and is easily in my top 10 all-time. 10/10.
