A History of Violence

February 17, 2010 - 7:23 am No Comments

I took this because Vigo Mortiss was there, and after seeing The Lord of the Rings and love his performance in that, I just wanted to check on something else. Well, the performance was very good, but what a waste, since The Lord of the Rings to this.

It was the worst kind of Hollywood trash. The film was just a vehicle for sex and gratuitous violence. The director obviously thought it was important to see what someone might look like with his face blown: frankly, made me feel sick.

The idea of the story was quite good, and there was much potential to explore the human aspects of identity and relationships, as events can change people, on the discoveries that lead to challenges to people s perceptions of each one, on acceptance, adjustment, and forgiveness. There was something about this, but mostly endless blood and gore. Well, Vigo, boy, you need to be careful where you go, hit the road and no one knows where it may end.

A.I. - Artificial Intelligence

A.I. %%2%%n%%2%%- Artificial Intelligence AI comes under one of those movies you either love or hate and I will explain in a moment. For me I liked this movie with good characters and good acting.

The script is very well together and Spielberg does (as always) a good job of telling the story. John Williams provides the score and as expected corresponds to their usual level.

Although the film is perhaps half an hour time does lose its way and will keep prey. Now the end is why I say the film may be a hit or miss with you.

However, it takes a dramatic turn and going in a direction not expected. It works, but some may think this was a step too far. In general, a good solid movie and worth a try.

The Village

The Village After seeing the other comments I had to give mine, as this movie deserves much more than has been given. This is not a horror movie as such, but an intelligent history of deception. I will say that otherwise the whole plot will be evident.

Of course, this film takes its time to portray the reality of the situation, and rather poor in quality spoils what could have been a masterpiece (probably why most reviwers given a poor score). Shyamalan, director and screenwriter, might have made a mistake in the direction of this film, and I think it would have been more welcome had been directed by someone else, given a darker tone and one more crisis.

If you want a movie that gives you nightmares, this is not for you. If you like a movie with a good underlying story that quietly builds suspense and keeps you guessing - you should enjoy this. One of the film buffs, lovers of adventure noneconomic.

3 of 5 exclusive to the poor performance and direction, otherwise it would have achieved the maximum 5. The story is good, it’s just poorly presented.

Syriana

No smoking tubular thing … I so wanted to like this movie, and I kind of do, but with a lot of missed opportunities in DISSAPOINTMENT. The outline of a great plot.

Arabic in a state of fiction, a tragic and idealistic banker (stay with me …) helps an idealistic reformer prince to change his country. Enter the bad guys (the good of the U.S.) who want to put the inept idiot but easily bribed younger brother in power, so they can take all the oil (still sound familiar?) For some reason we have a cynical, disillusioned and even Syriana for retirement cover CIA agent deep in the mix, and then the script is a type of publication to wander and let everyone else in the way … George Clooney is great, but looks a lot like Matt Damon seems to stammer and to rewrite and seems to be about 15 years old.

The one bright spark for me was Alexander Siddig (Julian Bashir before ….) in Star Trek that was unnecessary if a wonderfully passionate performance as the reformist prince. Not a bad film, it’s a great film not be ready to reach the final and go”

The Good Shepherd

June 8, 2009 - 9:22 am No Comments

A bit long, but a very good film. If there is very little purpose and is in constant action, special effects and pathetic plot, this film can not be for you. If, on the other hand, you are interested in the affairs of the world, how the secret agents working behind the scenes, the kind of life these people have, and films with complex The Good Shepherd emotional and historical sites, then it is for you.

It’s very John le CarrĂ©. I would say that if one considers that it is’ boring ‘is probably because either no one is interested in the topic or no one has understood the content. Not to mention details not spoil it for others.

Good film, you will be putting things together later. .

A History of Violence At first sight it seems strange material for director David Cronenberg, a graphic novel adaptation of rehearsing the old story of a man trying to bury her violent past (the resonance of the title matches the deceptive depths of the film). Yet, beyond making it a comment on the care of the American way of life, slipping Cronenberg horror in your body of work, which shows that all is not well, both with a society that can allow these actions bitter down the years, and with people who are not what they seem (compare and contrast Tom and Carl).

The result was pretty tick, grasp the stomach and the mind.

There is a well established genre of films from a seemingly normal person hides a sinister past violent, that one day invade its existence today, with dramatic consequences. The white picket fence suburban banality of life is splashed red with blood from the mistakes of the past. We can never really escape our past?

Can we really create a new identity? We must deal with past mistakes? A History of Violence is a very simple example of this type of film, but history offers a tense and exciting fashion.

Viggo is an inscrutable presence at its center, A History of Violence can play both the small town family man and ruthless murderer with the same expression of mild detachment - keeping guess that throughout this very watchable film. Sure, some of which may seem plausible and change some characters in caricature, but it is well directed, well acted and short enough not to outstay welcome. Nor is spoiled by silly plot twists and surprises.

It is not particularly deep, but when it’s over he can make it to the person next to you on the couch and wonder if maybe, just maybe, before we knew, were very different from someone .. .

Frankenstein

May 21, 2009 - 2:35 pm No Comments

Frankenstein This is a long epic story about the film ‘Frankenstein’ story. First is a long film that lasts until well into 3/4hours. The film is cut into two parts, which facilitates visualization.

This film follows the story of a young student interested in the magical world of science and life and death. This is not your typical ISN ‘Frankenstein’ perspectives with the guy with the bolts in his neck. Frankenstein is a young student of science and the will to push the limits or what can be achieved.

Obviously creates a monster pieces of human beings. However, options Frankenstein is his undoing. Put it this way many people are killed!

The acting is strong, intelligent and with a monster and ‘Frankenstein’ putting in some strong scenes. ISN no horror in this piece what so ever! So do not rent this if you do not want to see blood and blood and cause emotions is very low.

S an emotional story that delves deeply into the characters and the story said the best they can. The settings, objects, places and cast are all first class. It is very entertaining movie, but can get kind of silly at the end (kind of desire is a better ending).

ISN all this horror, but not a good period piece that takes the powerful story of Frankenstein in a new and different. Overall not a bad film, very good pictures in general and its beautiful to see. 4 out of 5 stars

The Village

The Village Despite his comments, I found this excellent film for the second time because I knew the end. A strange film that takes a turn as the 6th sense to Bruce Willis. In my first view I thought the town was an average story and could not work on the plot until I saw the end.

Even then, during the second vision, although I understood the plot, began to have more sense, but still found it interesting pick was very cleverly disguised clues along the way it reveals the true story. This was a winner for me.
