Pearl Jam Twenty 2011 review - trailer

2011-09-28T10:19:00.000+07:00

Pearl Jam century, Crowe, a former resident and friend of the famous band in Seattle, and brings journalistic skills and then get to the facts of the emergence of the state and its evolution and current rock band led by Eddie Vedder.

Must have for fans of Pearl Jam - for people who get a taste of the pressures that come with fame and - Crow and document a great day with archive material, old, videos of presentations of the charm of the club will have a contemplative emerging Vader the player asshole Jeff guitarists Stone Gossard and Mike McCready and drummer Matt Cameron are sitting today. (Pearl Jam has a great drummer in his way was now 20-21 - years, and only if a film crew in danger, and the staff are very dangerous, and cut a piece of this is the backbone to communicate with regret drummer misfortune assistants false).

Pearl Jam begins with twenty pictures of Andrew Wood, the legendary singer Mother Love Bone, Gossard asshole and run during the final 80 years together. Wood died (Jack Black, a couple) from a heroin overdose at the age of 24 and the division of the band. Posted born from the ashes of Pearl Jam, and is based on the test strip of the type of server in San Diego, deep voice, fly, nice Vedder to Seattle and met with the group.

The rest is the history of rock and grunge grunge fashion world by surprise. Or something. When the Twenty Pearl Jam has its share of exaggeration, humor is steeped in self-critical comment, and deserves the deep pocket of big-budget clips (Jimmy Hendrix, the World Health Organization and the Rolling Stones, Elvis Presley, the world in Seattle, just David Lynch, and so on). Pearl Jam twenty also says the battle against ticket master tape, which led to congressional hearings are not always welcome the views of policy, and the Roskilde Festival tragedy that nine fans crushed to death, while the Danes to show Pearl Jam. This event forced the group to study how and why. And it will be reflected reflection and repentance, and the company that Vader went on strike.

Pearl Jam begins a twenty week to the scene of the Franklin Institute Tuttleman Emax. It must be, though the film is not as Emax be the soundtrack of the room the size of a large screen.

Moneyball 2011 review - trailer

2011-09-26T08:43:00.000+07:00

Such as cold beer in the tile sky, when he was a player in the line of the day, perfect hot, like a half long, slow and seventh - "Moneyball" satisfied.

Sports defender of the theater is the home of the deeper truths in a modest smile of "Moneyball" is an outer film dry, and value, it is easy to drive and take a little more than talent to be solid entertainment.

After all, can not adapt to a fantasy film about a book of Mr. narrative journalist Michael Lewis, the gold standard script by Steve Zaillian and Aaron Sorkin? I can not go wrong with the personality of the golden boy role is played by Brad Pitt and corny caricature Jonah Hill? What a fool is a major American sports hit "moral victory to come back - all in the sleeping area, and pastoral reminds all Americans and the values of a perfect past?

The answer, of course, a filmmaker who dares, is fattening, good relations with the bone or the technical apparatus of unnecessary melodrama. Fortunately, the "Moneyball" - which was briefly fell into the hands of Steven Soderbergh with another professional - Bennett Miller, who was very intelligent, he has to offer the story of Truman Capote on the big screen in 2005 film "Capote."

In this case, Miller is not a bad start in life and athletics, Oakland Billy Beane will be history by the Chief Executive in 2002 - competing against teams with a salary three times - tried to sink to recruit a new revolution in the game of baseball with "Sabermetrics" system that allows for players who were selected to know the rules.

This approach seems simple and clear. But in "Moneyball", this logic is contrary to the old school scout Beane, who played in the film where a group of colorful character actors and a few grizzled veterans of baseball and real life. His jokes, which are like players of the jaw and girlfriends when they decide them, and ready "Moneyball", with the rental of a solid ground of the good spirit of the vernacular. In addition, the charm of surprise sofas very conceptual point: that the objective truth, not only exists, but the questions, even if the stop is conducted by myths about the "feelings" and irrational beliefs.

But this does not seem implicit in the film is purely optional, which focuses first on a bunch of supporters of the reduced power is attractive, the first sips of beer Twinkie Beane.

Miller, the original function to a large understatement of the House of magnetism, but enough to make the genius of the team trained at Yale Peter Brand (Hill plays a character in a real-life Paul DePodesta based) blind.

If you change the brand confusion Beane determines the Cleveland Indians to such provocation, seductive glamor, with time, the two settled in as a joke, without thinking, and looking forward to the dynamics of brand ask Beane meets with Iceland, "head games efficiently." (Philip Seymour Hoffman, shaved head and full mode harumph, is perfect as an art director Hao area, who are not buying this.)

Because of this heterogeneous group, Miller and most of the major players and minor leaguers, is convey their personalities with a blend of charisma, without the possibility of change. The brand Beane jar, fun lists (Chad Bradford, who played James Bond Casey), get the wounded (Scott Hatteberg, played by Chris Pratt) and David Justice (Stephen Bishop), the former head of all the stars who have overcome deserves the title of "Old Man justice."

The secrets of "Moneyball" is not the only one that is the root of the public to Beane and the brand - a classic odd couple - but will have a heterogeneous group misfits, including the words refer to the shock always surprised with the quiet, no one noticed , the perfect, but the real potential. (Take the news that were negotiated or were sent as a hunting dog obedient).

As in years past, "The Social Network" and Sorkin also wrote "Moneyball" is unlikely breathes passion, which is basically re-elaboration of a calculation of numbers, and analytical work, which Sorkin "Moneyball" is not all about statistics and "The Social Network" in the coding algorithms.

In this case, and rationalization, to humanize the game really helped the players, which are open to dismiss lower eccentricities. Beane can relate to: not only was a star known that is not up to their abilities, but are now trying to keep his daughter (the temptation Kerris Dorsey), while his ex-wife and her new husband to give her the privilege a comfortable life in Malibu.

A cry from the heart of the losers and neglect have left behind a little to the "Moneyball" does not present itself as a particularly painful example of the tough economic times. It's high season, baseball fans in the end gives the horrible games to celebrate the miracle of a winning streak (at least by vicariously) and a hero to the people wrinkled. It is difficult, "Moneyball" without the "home run" to investigate the range. So, we will inform you about the rules with all the grace, humility and an abundance of the heart.

Killer Elite 2011 review - trailer

2011-09-24T20:41:00.000+07:00

The "Killer Elite" This is a story that cleverly found a way to explain why two teams of former SAS wants to inspire others to kill. Decreased ability to mold, here are Jason Statham and Clive Owen, which is really no reason not to love one another, and participate in a game of death of the international assassin. Robert De Niro plays abducted by the Sheikh of Oman, which are used to calculate that there is no team there is no reason for concern, and that's basically what's at stake is their professionalism has developed.

Incredibly, it must be based on the facts of this story. Based on the author of the novel is supposed Ranulph Fiennes on his experiences in the real world, and even the author of the appearance of their work. I think the basis for a realistic and may be a few degrees of separation from the pure fact of the act, but you never know, and the latest films to show how the "The Debt" organizations spy on events that seem to arise from fiction to participate.

History: De Niro plays Hunter, Danny Mentor (Jason Statham). They were both qualified. Danny was one of those rituals, where men work, and decided to stop the killing and was in need of unity in a remote part of outback Australia. He was living there with the beautiful Anna (Yvonne Elliman), in the strict sense of the word is not particularly important to the plot. Life in the past is still there after the kidnapping of Sheikh oil by Danny Hunter. Sheikh wants revenge on the killers of his son, and he knows that Danny is the best player in the world, and is calculated correctly that you save only for the dear Lord, to bring him back to work.

The son was killed by four men of the SAS. Danny difficult task: to kill, but it seems that every death is random, and not to be suspected of a Sheikh. Hardly clever. Davis on his team (Dominic Purcell) and Meyer (Aden Young). At the same time, the results were announced Spike (Clive Owen), a group of mysterious book, which aims to protect the ex-SAS men in revenge. Your job is to protect the four goals from Danny and his boys. Got it?

It's really a good movie, and more of the same character and plot to work, and need to build a murder look like accidents plus interest. I really wonder what is the probability that someone, not to mention all these events can be organized specifically to this point? However, we learn that the intelligence agencies, often behind the "accident".

Jason Statham is back muscles carved out of hard metal. Clive Owen, that is, before acting and facial expressions is a good man like a cool enough. Find a movie about killer mild steel rod on the chin, eyes, and asked if he seems less dangerous if they were destroyed?

De Niro is here, on paper, which could offer some inspiration small. My impression is that he feels he can pay the contributions of interest, and now participate in its activities in Tribeca. Still has the power, and if you want to use.

The film is a film directed by Gary McKendry, who was born in Northern Ireland, who directed several commercials and short 20-minute "all the needs of this country," which was nominated for an Oscar for live-action short. It is a great start. He has the instincts of a storyteller, and he understands that business is better if you focus on the characters and plot, and not based on mere sensation. "Killer Elite" very pure in its history, because in the end, this can be very difficult to divide people into good and bad.

Movie Review : Puncture 2011 & trailer

2011-09-21T22:42:00.000+07:00

What happens to the heroes go to the cinema abroad against the heavyweights, without scruples or moral, is that you do not want to disappoint him a hero. Hole by sister team Adam Mark, and money, which tells the true story that the filmmakers may have been an unreliable prison, insane and irresponsible. The film revolves around a farm in 1990 in Texas, end of story touches on the pharmaceutical industry and the AIDS epidemic, which is important, but the necessary elements for a New Yorker instead of the movie and here the focus is about a rare personality to say the least! A McCain aide.

Ambition is certainly an interesting movie, but without a lot of coverage of the festival, who played only in Tribeca critics and cheerleaders, and can not hole many waves in the independent film at the box office, despite the similarities with other members of the Public Ministry is normal for kiss movie called Erin Brockovich.

Press releases describing the end of White, Mike, Chris Evans may have played a toowell as "the work of a drug addict." Do not know how to note that the definition of "performance". In the first moments of the film, thanks to Mike made a big deal, because it is clearly a time of rejoicing diver induced by drugs. He then studied mentally.

In celebration of the feast at home, things are at hand - is a drug addict and his wife disappeared sexaholic a gun and sent to everyone. Falls quickly to the personal chaos.

This great event happen. Get ER nurse (Vinessa Shaw), a needle is wounded two years ago with the human immunodeficiency virus. Mike says that is the case. Surprisingly, this is not the case, but imagine buying a lawsuit against the giant health care by refusing to provide the safety pin of the eccentric inventor of the wonderful old (Marshall Bell). Invention is a syringe used once and discarded, and prevent about 800,000 injuries annually by health professionals, who have suffered so much that lead to serious injury or death.

Tired of routine injuries, and he and his partner, Paul Danziger (played by Mark Kassen, co-director) look, Mike, is this is the main reason for the company. It is not necessarily bad, but is now fully able to appear before a judge or a member of the Senate U. S. (Kate Burton), without the drug problem is evident. Then, the film follows its own dynamics, often tells the story of David versus Goliath competitors, and losing a history of strong dependence.

Movie filled with great performance and no one blames the film as well. What a well-made film, not an error. Hero takes a completely distorted.

One could argue that Coca-Cola never without the request of paranoia and fuel, and Mike knows that he deserves a trial group of criminal property. Therefore, drugs upsideto. On the other hand ... Final offers of the defect in the thinking process, and without loss of insurance benefits, is Sir Galahad.

Magic of the movie is live on the edge of this marginal in the vicinity of furniture, unless Mike lives at home with his wife wisely ditches the beautiful moments in the work of Mike with his client and the nurse in a critical condition, and its tendency to the representative of the reorientation of Texas (Brett Cullen), a very thick and lots of money to corrupt a man in a sense almost of immorality in disguise. Or at least you can go against your view of drugs, and well that not even solve the problem that is likely to do in the interest of his client.

Even on the brink of the posters is a good reason to buy and negotiate contracts for hospitals and health centers, the U.S. and more than 5,000 contracts and bribes and incentives to purchase products NotTo allow a better and safer. These practices are today.

This story was created by brothers Chris and writer Lopata, Danziger in close collaboration with his partner, Mike, Paul. So the film is certainly more than the average "based on true story" movie. And it can keep you accountable for the control of people and Mike Danziger Hollywood is important, as it is moved in the Houston area that occur in taste, or suspect that dark forces have an important role in the death of a Mike later played without a tables is proof that this remains a possibility.

The film, which is food for thought after hospital purchasing practices undoubtedly contribute to the spread of HIV and our legal system is in poor condition due to lack of glamor side of addiction. (It was planned to clear the title to have more than one meaning).

As to the mean streets of office suites towers, drilling wander throughout the Houston area for the noir atmosphere in the light of the blazing sun to create. This film is about an amazing character, very frustrating and unfair that lets your doctor knife.

Straw Dogs 2011 review - trailer

2011-09-19T21:08:00.000+07:00

This new version of "Straw Dogs" is an adaptation from the point near the Sam Peckinpah movie in 1971. Relocate from England to Mississippi, and change the world of mathematics as a writer, you keep the bear trap in the sink and found a cat, and tells the same story. It is very violent. I found a visceral, disturbing and well made.

James Marsden and Kate Bosworth star in the role originally created by Dustin Hoffman and Susan George is educated and his wife, who comes from a rural area where you can transfer the work to be played alone. There is something unsettling about this interesting man and a woman in a bakery for the residents, and what begins as a subtle competition for land rights (the Darwinian sense) has become a relentless battle for the real murderers. The lesson is that the nerd, the capacity for great violence in the home and women are at risk. At first I did not know.

There is something in me in 40 years since the publication of "Straw Dogs" and the original X rating in Britain was banned from theaters. Four decades of violence hardening of the screen to me, and I'm not susceptible to images of brutality and chaos. If Peckinpah was known for his violence, his masterpiece, considered "The Wild Bunch" (1969) in some circles, unpublished. Greet him, and after drawing the line in "Straw Dogs", which kind of crossed the line with me.

Rod Lurie, director of the facility and this version does not have the material to the accused may have changed my feelings. Maybe I'm more in touch with them now and see how house-to-end strikes the film. I fear, the hero of the story to me and I think the lack of masculinity. Not since the school did not volunteer to fight. Do not shoot a gun, except for ROTC classes, and I have never touched a weapon. I avoid physical confrontation. If someone tries to be allowed by reducing output.

I trust in society to protect me. I was always afraid that he can not do for themselves. A man who does not admit it, but it makes no sense to deny. Well, here is David Marsden plays a Hollywood screenwriter, who moved with his wife Amy (Kate Bosworth), and was back in his hometown on the Gulf coast, where they were living in a house with a good shed heavily damaged by the hurricane. And Amy was a cheerleader in school here and went to California, and has achieved some success in the TV series of the crime.

The first day to go to the bar and grill, where any reasonable person knows how to make an immediate change in everything and go. You have to see this place in dozens of films. Everybody knows everybody. They live in a bar in the macho culture where violence is always near the surface. Because the beauty queen riding past with her new husband (who wears glasses and drives Jaguar Peckinpah classic movies classic), and passive aggressive look. Comments can be made that does not mean just to be heard.

Charlie approached (Alexander Skarsgård), a school friend of Amy, your booth to say hello He's tall, muscular, and fear, and friendly interface. To deal with David for a very nice gesture. You know what I mean. Smiles easily on pace is nice and gentle condescension. Reflects his attitude: "I can not be an ass behind bar to be like you, but if it makes you feel better, and I intend to be."

No luck. Contracted with Charlie and his gang to repair the barn. Aggression develops implied. Coming to work early. David climbing shoes in the awakening cheat is to make a complaint. A crew member walks into the room and allows multiple beers, and complains that it is cold enough. Charlie David laments. "Trust us," said Charlie. There is no way to improve this situation.

Local men are sex offenders in a position to rape. Amy, who comes from their culture, and feel as your eyes drink her breast in the race T-shirt. David suggested that maybe I should wear a bra. It is offensive that they can not wear what you want on your property. Later, he commits an act of sexual provocation to men to psychological abuse, or they may simply stupid.

The subplot about how the city centers Soccer School and the local church, including sports and guarantee the debt. One of the patrons of the bar is the former coach, Tom Heddon (James Woods). You can, if he had trained this man affected by the wonder of the cycle of local generation. James Woods is intriguing on paper: medium, hard and all hell broke quickly.

Situation is reduced to a place on the farm, Charlie and others are trying to cause breakage and damage. This means the passage of cold chaos continues, and more violent than we are accustomed, because the film a lot of violence is still not very realistic and CGI, and it all looks like a body that will have a lot of pain for others reasons. In the world of sense, one can ask if they can evaluate a man with a van ready to ram damage if used, but anti-rational on the coast has developed what seems limitless.

After the first movie, I would be upset like this business, and the heroes are in a position to do so. Can be relieved? Imagination is one of the things we see in movies. Whatever. Rod Lurie has made a film of the first degree of psychological warfare, and yes, I think it was better than Peckinpah. Marsden, Bosworth Skarsgård and convincing, and although James Woods played a lot of bad guys in his career, and this can be scary.

Restless 2011 review - trailer

2011-09-18T09:25:00.000+07:00

Overheard in the mad crush to get into this morning’s overcrowded screening of Gus Van Sant’s Restless: Woman A says to Woman B, in French-accented English, “What is your problem?” Woman B says to Woman A: “Your being a bitch is my problem!” Ah, Cannes! Where the weather is warm, the selection of movies is vast, and film journos and critics are ready to kill each other by Day 2.

But it’s all good. The crowd seemed to have simmered down by the time the Restless end credits rolled, and many responded with affectionate applause. I feel warmly toward Restless too: The picture (which opens the festival’s Un Certain Regard sidebar) is so fluttering and tender, so guileless, that you almost can’t believe it was made by an old hand like Van Sant. Then again, maybe you can. Annabel (Mia Wasikowska) and Enoch (Henry Hopper, son of Dennis) play somber teenagers who meet at a memorial service. Enoch is haunted by the death of his parents — he lost them suddenly in an accident. Annabel has her own secret, spilled early on: She’s dying of cancer. They fall in love, quickly and fervently, knowing only doom and sadness await them — and they’ve never even seen Love Story.

Restless is ever-so-silly. When Enoch accompanies Annabel to the hospital on a “story” — she has to have a transfusion — they wile away the time playing Operation. He gazes at her sensitively: “Does it hurt when they…?” The question trails off, delicately. It probably does, but Annabel isn’t about to belabor the point. Elsewhere, they run hand-in-hand down a hospital corridor, merrily and mischievously, and sneak into the morgue. Ah, young love!

Do they still make young people like this? I’m not sure. But Van Sant, I think, is wishing they did. It’s hard to say exactly when Restless is supposed to be set, but it doesn’t feel contemporary. Annabel and Enoch romp around in the kinds of vintage clothes many of us wore in the ’70s and ’80s (and some of us even beyond): Old silk dressing gowns, lacy flapper dresses, loose woolen coats in soft plaids. Hopper’s Enoch has blondish, every-which-way hair and a sultry pout — he could be the Boy with the Thorn in his Side that Morrissey sang about so long ago. And, perhaps most remarkable of all, neither of them ever use an electronic device — they talk face-to-face all the time, and actually seem to enjoy it.

Hopper and Wasikowska (the latter seen recently in Cary Joji Fukunaga’s fine adaptation of Jane Eyre) are sweet together, and emerge relatively unscathed from the heartfelt absurdity of the movie around them. They sure don’t make ‘em like they used to. Which is why, every once in a while, it’s nice to see someone try.

Warrior 2011 review - trailer

2011-09-16T10:34:00.000+07:00

If the "warrior" was a boxing movie, I'd say these three things: solid drama. Great performance. Classic.

But the film is a mixture of martial arts, and more beast than the sub-type. So my comments are three: the solid drama. Great performance. Ouch. If you have not seen in mixed martial arts or MMA, you will understand the "ouch". There is nothing more painful in the emergence of organized sports today, if you count the presidential election.

"Warrior" by Gavin O'Connor ("Miracle"), directed, and said a lot of his story of rival brothers, sand, sweat and even if not very accurate.

Joel Edgerton plays Brendan, a professor of physics and help veterans of the "cage" for his family, Tom Hardy, Tommy, and younger brother with mental retardation, stubborn, and Nick Nolte in pop music, Paddy, EX - Tommy drunk and moves and goals, as they are, with the son you success. They have none of it. They have each other when a pair of nursing grudges them again to deny the family and the lives of poor Tommy with his dead mother.

Three actors are first-class job of looking at the pain and bitterness. The Edgerton and Australian English, when the tone of the American Sir Hardy, Hardy and animal thuggishness winery explodes on the screen. The film has a top speed of the cycle, and when we get to Atlantic City for the children of high-level tournament in MMA, as it won the other competitors in the minds of thick muscles to $ 5,000,000.

Movie fans know what to expect in boxing, and dramatic, tropical look, ducks, and the pace of their very own tissues. We are less familiar with the MMA, crushing rhythms, faster healing, hard, and arrows and fight fighter unexpected strike, kick, grab, grind, seal and flip throw, crush, suppress, and a place of progress with each other. Fans talk about security (eg, games to end the "media"), but stupid, visceral - a type of violence is no doubt that the film is raw meat, but it seems that concerned parents, and ill-equipped PG - 13.

Contagion 2011 review - trailer

2011-09-14T12:24:00.000+07:00

I saw a bunch of scary movie. But there's nothing like the horror of the sight of plunging his hand into a bowl of nuts at a bar at the airport, and therefore lead to death in the transmission. Here is the fear of shit movie with the medical school on the B virus can cause immediately after the impact of screening a wave of hand washing, which leads to side effects for a refreshing dip in air traffic is long and effect term makes you think you forgot that screwed us all.

With the discovery of new viruses every week (and can spread dramatically in 30 steps from 1000 to 1000 million), which is very good. Made with attention to detail and realistic beset by cold and Steven Soderbergh, the infection begins to cough, and a working mother named Beth (Gwyneth Paltrow). Pitt felt a kind of punk, and return to meet with businessmen in Hong Kong from her husband (Matt Damon) and his young son in Minneapolis. In the House, the house suddenly feels bad, then decays with cramps, fever and cerebral hemorrhage and died. No spoiler, which slows the release: House is the human face to start taking what is a global pandemic. (This is not the last we see Paltrow, or is this an excellent tour, only to return as a significant presence in the memories of the past). The infection spreads his death argument persuasive and treacherous and not home runs early in the epidemiology of such Centers for Disease Control and the World Health Organization, what they are looking for the source of all the new viral mutation and its antidote. If the current increase of international travel is the ability to feel the world is very small, and the downside is that everyone, everywhere, is just coughing, shaking hands or rub the eye infections in the world.

The script by frequent collaborator Scott Z. Burns Soderberg (Detective) is a bit like Babylon human interest subplots fit exaggerated symptoms. However, the image is constructed very well, with the participation of Deputy Director of the Center for Disease Control, The (Laurence Fishburne) and the reaction to disclosure of information to a state of panic, and epidemics, including the intelligence officer format (Kate Winslet) to send the hot spots to work with the first interviewed, the researcher contest doctor (Jennifer Ehle), to produce a vaccine, the WHO representative (Marion Cotillard), followed by distribution throughout the world, bloggers Krumwiede and independent activists Alan overkill names (Jewish law), in which aggressive and independent investigation report on the Internet that this story of the effects of viral guerrilla. Attitude toward the movie to suit the man with wire to the right and walk like ducks Snaggletooth. Occupation, if known, is also Cracker Jack: I Ehle necessarily isolate the right and Damon just because I have a keyboard of my computer, to disinfect, and can continue to write.

Transmission does not open with a bang, but the feeling, as scenes of everyday life - for children in the classroom, in a bar in the individual, and also changed to deal with the waiter and cleaning - hand disasters. The film ends does not end with a bang, but more than one egg! , WAN's attempts to satisfy some emotional disorders, and infectious diseases, terrorism, and numbness. I could not look away, and I touch your face or hands.

Like Crazy 2011 review - trailer ( Drake Doremus )

2011-09-14T11:37:00.000+07:00

Maybe a break in the relationship between the persecution of inorganic Jacob and Anna. If passionate love for each other in a natural way can be played, should have died, or they can be together forever - at least I know. Instead, the stars "like crazy" to find your life stuck in a loop - you can not forget the magic that connects with the other, but also because he lived life in its absence.

Drake Doremus film follows "the lives of two students who fall in love with an amazing young woman and then taking the twisted obstacles. Anna (Felicity Jones) is a writer aspires to study English abroad in Los Angeles, where he worked with Jacob (Anton Yelchin), who studied to become a furniture designer, and the plan is that Anna and finally returned to the United States, but after I destroyed his planned trip for three months, wonderful, sexy and with Jacob, who did not return to their homes because it can hurt a student visa.

Decision to stay for a longer period of visa is only a few times after the movie - Anna and Jacob did not dare talk about it - but it will not stay forever. This is the kind of stupid decisions, which is now the consequences are visible only to those who do not at this time.

And thanks to filmmaker John Guleserian, a budget increase, or a bit of both presentations, Doremus more satisfying than his latest film "Douchebag". So it was not a happy time to meet the love of being (a set of soft music in the hope that we can not see), and the film is full of compositions and edition of the adventure, and Joe called scene. Scene cut back and forth in time between each character is difficult, and another on a sensitive topic.

Doremus also do an excellent job, in which the characters live. Show without a breaking point, which is how everyone has their own separate careers in different countries. If you're traveling, you lose the memories of each one. Together, they are deleted, and visitors to the world of another person. They do and say hurtful things to each other. But stop when they see others, they feel a desire to return. Any other relationship, such as.

It is difficult to find a story about characters who are dumb balance and complement each other, sometimes more, and "like crazy" does not grow repetitive and frustrating. But it is also based on deep nostalgia for times that can never really return.

The art of Getting by (2011) review - trailer

2011-09-12T10:47:00.000+07:00

Directed by Gavin Wiesen. , Starring Freddie Highmore and Emma Roberts. ( 84 minutes, and theaters, the San Francisco Bay Area).

He studied "The art of Getting by" is a sweet, intelligent coming of age teen comedy about depression, avoiding carefully.

Freddie Highmore plays George, a skinny young Manhattan senior year of mourning in school. The opening of its history, said the height of the dark than 160,000 people die every day and calls George, algebraic bitterly. At lunch, he sat alone, reading "The Stranger." In the classroom, writing and R. Crumb, such as studies on the numbers contained in the ink drawings with horns and teeth. When asked to deliver an exercise in trigonometry, he says - in the existential peace - the inevitability of death makes sense, "including the mission, unfortunately."

Nice try George. You (Blair Underwood anger convincing) to go to the manager. Then try your mother (Rita Wilson) and her husband (Sam Robards), to meet the vicissitudes of life has reached adult. While there, do not spoil him prosperous friendship, or a beautiful blonde girlfriend of his, Sally (Emma Roberts) is.

Writer and director Gavin Wiesen (in her film debut) is the oldest of Bush and has the qualities of young people's frustration, the gift of doing nothing, while all. The film is lighter and less sluggish, because it is too late and that's good for viewers who prefer a little honey to offset the bitter taste of hormones.

Highmore is a nuisance, and carries the film on the back, very fine. Although it is not difficult. I must say that George does not really mean when the "Kind Of" says misanthrope. He is an honest man and good luck young man says something else.

Seven Days in Utopia 2011 review - trailer

2011-09-10T22:20:00.000+07:00

Under the title "Seven Days in Utopia" may suggest a trip level of metaphor or irony, but it is literally and seriously as anyone in this drama inspired: Refers to the hero spends a week in the small town of Utopia, Texas. Played by Lucas Black, is a young player of the new Pro Circuit beginning humiliating and receives life-changing advice from the spirit of old farming family - Robert Duvall, lighter version and scientists from various countries who brought to life in decades.

With the Golf Channel commentators and actors involved in such KJ Choi, and the film carries an official confirmation. Based on the book by David L. Cook, "Golf's Sacred Journey," which like "it plays as a "Zen and the Art of the Links," he jokes with the persuasion of the Bible Belt.

When Luke Chisholm (Black) crashes his car on the fence by Johnny Crawford (Duval) belong to him the hand of Providence is a professional with a higher calling. Take some time before the movie is its tendency explicitly religious, but never questioning the safety utopia.

Father figure to replace the widow of Johnny, who runs a strong dinner (Melissa Leo) is the atmosphere, and there are interesting people to fight. With a white wooden church, social activities and the city, fireworks and fireflies, each one is so small grow - but the height of the speeches, at least not love beautiful horses Locke Lord (Deborah Ann Wall).

Golf Course enlightenment / life lead to a religious belief, but it is the birthplace of Johnny with a wealth of scenery pictures of teaching non-traditional, including fishing and flying light aircraft. It did not give any real collisions on the road, and if he had moments of drama and to keep Frank as land area of Texas, and the denial of the summer.

Said Matthew Russell, Dean's first film to be expressed in simple terms of each note, and the players of the loan, regardless of depth and can be found. Even without the tension or the animation is terrible contradiction Duval watchable. Black, who worked with him last year, "Get Low" and the film, smooth edges and dark beats quickly, since it deals with all disputes that may arise.

Melancholia 2011 review - trailer

2011-09-09T07:50:00.000+07:00

After the press conference for the controversial director Lars von Trier at Cannes 2011, which resulted in granting the director persona non grata, which was sadly rare in the severity of what happened and described. In fact, there are still remnants of this situation, but the quality of the movie makes me think that sometimes one can not remember the interview, while many will remember from the movie. For von Trier, the passage in question (and this was not the first), but still talented.

There is a mention that the director has angered environmental advocates, sacrificing an animal on the set of Manderlay? Must be the same thing happens now in pain, because the film is much larger than indicated.

Regardless of all this, to move: The film is a little masterpiece, as is the former managing director at the time of the Antichrist. Although the productions are very different from plain to see some similarities between them. I'm not just a great Charlotte Gainsbourg, and films of the abuse of classic sound and intense, and very well with the sequences in slow motion at first, not to mention the division into chapters - the mark of the film, Lars von Trier.

Melancholia (in original) refers to one of the great monuments of classical music and Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, but more conducive to the resumption of critical mass by Mozart. Production offered disaster movie, but do not expect a lot of special effects in films as Roland Emmerich (after tomorrow), and the focus here is on history. In fact, the same research to more than portray a family of natural disasters.

The production is divided into two chapters, which was the name of Justin and Claire, for the sisters, with Kirsten Dunst and the lives of Charlotte Gainsbourg, and in preparation for the beautiful scenes of the cycle divided Wagner. The first part describes the marriage of Michael and Justin (Alexander Skarsgard, True Blood series), while the second shows how Clare's family, the fact that the planet is approaching Earth from sorrow. The interesting point in the division into chapters that the film focuses not only work but also the role of information technology.

As with other chapters seem quite movies relevant to a simple and nothing very interesting, and despite the fact that people can have different conclusions, it is difficult for someone who does not recognize, we believe that the pessimistic view of Lars von Trier for company. In a collision between Earth and the sad truth is that our planet will not survive outside, but what the Danish director to show that the internal situation in a bid to the brink of disaster.

"madness" Justin is the belief that people only tell the story of a woman director, but the way the performance characteristics of other characters that the problem is much worse. Queen of selfishness in mourning. Father (John Hurt), Justin is more interested in attention to women beautiful mother-daughter (Charlotte Rampling) tries to determine their view of the anti-wedding, wedding day, the boss (Stellan Skarsgard), which are used for testing I can not think of anything outside of work, and his brother (Kiefer Sutherland), is talking like a lot in the last match. Sutherland stepped and selfish character in the second half, with the position of a coward who is not at all times and I remember Jack Bauer in 24 hours.

Film has a remarkable filmmaker Manuel Alberto Claro. Most of the scenes taken during the wedding dinner with camera in hand, move the viewer a feeling that this is the last of the raw numbers in the room. Soundtracks, as well as classic and previously mentioned, in search of some famous songs and the fundamental frequency, such as "Strangers in the Night" and "smile", a film's musical director.

Art direction and costumes attract much attention, and should not be surprising that only the minimum of the film von Trier, Dogfel. Among the actions is difficult to highlight one, then the entire cast is good, but it's hard not to mention the strong presence of Kirsten Dunst. He was known as the triple Mary Jane Spider-Man, has shown great talent, and represented in the suicide and the Virgin Mary Antoinette - Sofia Coppola equal - and does its best performance. She won the Best Actress award at Cannes for her role.

There are no easy solutions or any kind of pain redemption. It is long, and how much of Trier, which leaves the viewer almost in a coma after the meeting. You can not love, but it's hard not to get involved.

Toy Story 3 2010 review - trailer

2011-09-07T22:43:00.002+07:00

such as animation and Pixar will continue to provide innovative stories and enthusiasm is one of the wonders of modern cinema. As Lee Unkrich, director John Lasseter Pixar veteran, Stanton, Andrew, writer and screenwriter sun Ms. Arndt, Michael, who participated in developing a new plan, and the characters in the story of the beautiful game in this third leg, and perhaps this achievement is more impressive to me.

This episode, at best three, and everything cinema should be: funny, touching, exciting and intelligent. Voice behind Woody (Tom Hanks), Buzz Light year (Tim Allen) and the rest to play a key role in the development of the characters in what is now by far the best summer movie.

Story touches your heart, as any film in recent history has not. Who would have thought that the film can be plastic toys to speak strongly to people of all ages?

Adopted since 1995, the Toy Story toys for children, Andy, now 17 and about to leave for college. She heard her sister, Molly, and between the iPod and the family dog once a vibrant and almost fell to a standstill. Andy has played a fun, but the game box. But the future is uncertain band: You play with the new or languishing in obscurity, alone in a dusty attic?

After a few rounds, and at the end of the game in kindergarten Sunnyside, "a place of ruin and despair," drama skewer M. (Timothy Dalton). Got the movie in a theater with a touch of the prison's effort to escape the terrible is always laughing.

Favorite characters are back: Woody, Buzz, Jessie cowgirl, and Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head, Barbie and dinosaurs. But leave it again. Buzz is bilingual, and cast his Mr. Potato tortilla potato. Called entanglement with enemies and wide, including the Ascot Ken doll hard, wonky eyes, the large 'baby Mucha - the' - Huggin purple teddy bear and a monkey screaming.

Film's message is simple: Although time and distance, and the family and friends are the most important. Change is fear, and can lead to death, she faces the spirit and dignity. These questions fuel, but does not guide the adventure.

The Debt 2010 review - trailer

2011-09-06T10:52:00.001+07:00

Drama buried in secret with the history of fishing is linked to the Nazis, "The Debt" rooted in reality, it is reasonable for spy movies and contemporary, without provoking a tense type. History division between 1966 and 1997, followed, had to ask three Mossad agents, what kind of justice after the crime can not be imagined from the Holocaust.

Helen Mirren as the outstanding features in promotional materials, and the heart of the film suggests a younger version of her character, played by the great progress this year, actress Jessica Chastain ("Tree of Life," "The Help"). Chastain is to stay alive and the terrible events of the film: As a singer, Rachel, is a factor "Surgeon of Birkenau" Vogel, Dieter (by type KZ Joseph Mengele's experiments - the doctors), the East German fertility, as a patient and therefore the studies of many medical men fishing.

We know from the first scenes of the film (set in 1997) singer take the team doctor, who was later murdered in the race, which will be welcoming the three heroes of Israel. It is also clear that they share the secrets of this time: her mission in the conclusion of a decades-old book was published, a former partner of singer David (Ciaran Hinds, who also played on the Israeli spy thriller "Munich") is dead.

But what was the name of the bird, and his attempts to revive it to the meat of this story, and director John Madden is the best, and the tension of the support and close escapes, surprising as the director of Marigold expected "Shakespeare in Love."

At the same time, the adoption of Chastain and co-star Sam Worthington and Marton Csokas narrow triangle, which was overshadowed by the loss of sexual tension of each character in the war. Three actors have a chemistry, which increased only underground in East Berlin - loaded with the leaky roof, and plumbing and the damage, and perhaps related to the war criminal and gagged on the floor.

Hostage is a growing team of mental stress that he hoped smuggled out of the city. Jesper Christensen as a talkative bird, no passion in his attempt in his head that the hijackers but never hammily Hannibal Lecter - ishly threat. Trivial matter of his contempt for the Jews (to be offset in strange expressions of sympathy, sometimes) cares enough.

Structurally, the film jumps a little, but basically the story in 1967, before playing to work 30 years later this is the only path that holds the secrets secret until the last three minutes, but you can watch it was a bit like getting Mirren.

It has a broad line (this is an adaptation of the Israeli film "Ha HOV) is a form of storytelling in parallel to provide sufficient information that was public participation.

But, as in "The Debt" with the viewer strong enough to put the source of emotions, without diminishing the ethical dilemmas of the movement.

Movie Review : Mr. Popper's Penguins (2011)

2011-09-05T10:07:00.000+07:00

"Mr. Popper's Penguins", a fun ride a little imagination for many families is much better for your Popper's Penguins. Mr. Popper Jim Carrey not wrong in itself. However, it is ideal for the penguins and flying the heart of the viewer, walking and a complete farce.

There are six of them - the captain, Lovey, Bitey, Nimrod, friendly Stinky - named Snow White dwarfs the privacy of your personality. Despite the elegant appearance, dress, a little amount of damage, such as to induce him orange juice Webbie radiant smile, which is found in almost every corner of life, and Mr. Popper.

Directed by Mark Waters, who early in "Mean Girls" peaked in 2004 and fought more than success, "Mr. Popper." (Home discretion of the couple behind the silly "Hot Tub Time Machine") is slightly smaller than the writers Sean Anders and John Morris and Stern, Jared took the bones of children born to Richard Atwater Florence 1938 classic - for men penguins, and stopped life, the lessons learned - and gives the film a lot of modern problems, and perhaps one or two others.

Mr. Popper's operating base in the country is going in the big city, New York. It is no longer a humble painter, but a superb volley from a dealer in Manhattan real estate. But in his heart, and Mr. Popper trip of self discovery, which contains the film to introduce the concept of building and surroundings, what it takes to change a good father at this difficult time.

Film begins with a flashback to young Tommy quickly adventure travel Popper Rush in amateur and his father in the world (the father is absent, in modern language). The next time we see an executive of a successful, grown children of divorce in the books, and by the end of each week and the emotions aside carefully. But young women in his apartment in Manhattan, it is clear to see that I was alone in the foreground.

With the news of the death of his father's inheritance is unexpected: Penguin. The road is approximately six (this is the problem of supply). Care and nutrition is difficult to say the least. Appeared to him, "p" do not pee Assistant alliterative (Ophelia Lovibond) along the streets, he can. Popper difficult to manage corporate climbers, is a disease of birds and growing, and warm relations with the family.

Familiar with the former president Lady Carla Gugino as the most bitter mixture. Madeline Carroll ("Swing Vote"), Maxwell Perry Cotton are the grandchildren of the teenagers and adolescents each year, Janie and Billy, who was the discontent of the public. But we can say that there is much goodwill towards the edges, as was the temptation, turning the father of a little crazy when he turned his apartment into the cold ice and snow for the penguins gardens of your package.

There are a couple of external pressures, to keep the work of cooking. Popper is the head of the acquisition of hungry people in the green bar, Popper and the game company in the future to convince her reluctant Dean (Angela Lansbury) for sale. Try, "a specialist in birds fly" (Greg Craig), which resembles a train, "101 Dalmatians" and one in New York's zoo to have the birds, for dubious reasons.

But do not overcome the Penguins star, Gentoo is a combination of physical training for the film and colleagues generated by computer. Teachers of special effects to mix the two easily, which makes it easy to believe that there is no magic digital concerned, may be all about art.

Birds also make a movie with comic extreme Carey put most of the "Dumb and Dumber" for him on the side. While the largest number of birds that are working, and a major charity event at the Guggenheim Museum, with its spiral ramp, slide, and the small moments can be even more comfortable. Dinner and "tranquil" in his house, and forms of cutlery with the state of Popper's Penguins and ugly fish without obstacles.

Ironically, much of the eye is diluted Carey storm. It's almost as if he keep his anger to feel strange comics huge public only in recent years. But even with six pairs of happy feet and keep your lips and eyes looking for flexible Carey more often than not, there's a spark missing - and that's something magic about them, "Mr. Popper's Penguins" by clouds.

Movie Review : The Devil's Double (2011)

2011-09-05T09:38:00.000+07:00

Uday Saddam Hussein, the eldest son of Saddam Hussein in Iraq, evil and disturbed, which was given carte blanche to plunder the destruction of unlimited power and money. It was a difficult task, with the weakness of the man who really wants to see such a large number of deaths. He said: "I should have killed you the day you were born.", including Uday Saddam had said,

Lee Tamahori, is based on "The Devil's Double" is based on the experience of Yahya Latif, and how to configure dual Odai. In this paper, and survived assassination attempts, at least ten. A film about an Iraqi soldier forced to work after the attack and threats to his family, a respectable number of contempt of Uday and a good dose of courage to fight to watch.

If there was ever a movie requires the same actor playing two roles, it is only in the movies. Dominic Cooper, a British actor, in the second series of key people has played a double challenge with the power and surprising, and often affects the smooth special effects. And Uday, a sadist, alcohol, cocaine and murderers and rapists. When Latif, within walking Uday hates evil and witnesses at the same time enjoy a lifestyle of luxury, and refuses even daring, and one of her lovers.

Inspired by the story of a mountain, and rises to the occasion Tamahori. It is impossible, the performance of Adi Cooper sees it without thinking of Al Pacino in "Scarface" (1983), but Scarface was compared human. Uday is crazy and functionally, and bodyguards to protect him like crazy for their crimes. Viola and his father started the bride in her wedding, the girls were expelled from school, and their bodies on the streets in Baghdad, the scene is the most shocking in the film (there are a lot of competition), to taste the food in one meal. In the film, do it with a sword. In real life I learned to use the electric knife.

Adi Latif resentment "pimping" his father - who can marry a woman to replace his mother to Uday. For this woman, a love nourished by Uday on the brink of incest, and the bed scene is frightening.

This film is not based only on facts. Tamahori and writer Michael Thomas is certainly much more perfect, in spite of Latif Yahia and cited as the source of the book itself, that even a novel. I've learned in life, as prepared for school twice Latif, Uday. No offense to the death of Uday. His story raises the question whether the role of real life were sincere as it seems here we have many reasons to be given in a positive light.

Because of these uncertainties, it is striking that the purpose of the film. There should be history. Despite winning the applause when the credits roll again in the deaths of Uday in 2003 by U.S. special forces, not bad, especially in his role as the father of Hussein. And made some brief appearances as a symbol of the movie (relatively) basic functions.

The movie is about all the fun and strange behavior when an ugly human being, such as. Let's face it: many of us. There's a reason Hannibal Lecter is the most popular villain in films. Dominic Cooper is necessarily more efficient than Uday, gentle rejected. After the tasting, Uday, I can almost feel the energy during the sinking scenes Latif. In addition, the role of Sarrab (Ludivine Sagnier) is fine. What is your real story? Why is it, and find out what he knew, and the risk of Habib Latif reckless? The film makes us understand.

There was a time at the beginning of "The Devil's Double" the size I felt ready to focus. Are compiling these materials. He said he did not get to participate with them. It may be a "statement" Uday crazy. Gentle, but the character is to explore primarily for the convenience of the plot, and to avoid doubts and clear. It shows significant. All praise for Dominic Cooper. Must be capable of more.

Movie Review : Shark Night 3D (2011)

2011-09-03T09:04:00.000+07:00

I tell you now I do not care if a good director David R. Ellis. When we speak of sharks and 3D, is all that matters, and the floating of these criminals to satisfy your hunger.

To speed up the blood and excitement, looking for a girl who was unable to do? Or knowingly, and prey selection, as Spielberg depicts the Great White?

The right to choose the first option. In fact, no other parallel in the script the night, the equivalent of modern 3D 3D Shark (Jaws 3 - D, 1983), in light of Joe Alves adventure and ship the poles.

I know that the film actor Dennis Quaid professional Alves, Pace Armstrong, Lea Thompson, and Louis Gossett Jr. - and this production by David R. It is not difficult to find an ounce of acting talent.

I also know that the Shark 3D, and even with all its errors, and Richard Matheson, writer, can be viewed in 3D on the night shark deserves.

But despite all this, in both cases, we have developed products that speak to entertain a young audience with the sharks, and a pretty girl and afraid of life.

However, I do not think James Cameron is very happy with the use of film in three dimensions. In fact, Alice uses the same formula with the emotion that is distilled in the final games of the series the final destination or Piranha 3D.

The director of Snakes on a plane, can not be expected.

Remember also that this is not a realistic novel, which is responsible for managing mobile creatures is a great Walt Conti, responsible for such things in Anaconda, Free Willy and the deep blue sea is

You really want to know the plot of the movie? Seven young people from Tulane University, one of the most beautiful parts of the state of Louisiana, Lake Pontchartrain, Judge.

When I started having fun, swimming and sharks, and appearing before the Court, and select them in the list.

Less clear is whether this is an opportunity to plan the zoo intentions or bad.

Ellis, who has had experience with 3D destination is an expert in the field of underwater photography and second unit was on the set of the perfect storm and the deep blue sea

Mike Fleiss and Chris Briggs worked, producer, and together on campus, and the remake of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. As you can imagine that a number of these titles have all the good care that fit the pattern of the night shark named survival horror aspects of 3D.

Movie Review : Apollo 18 (2011)

2011-09-03T08:00:00.001+07:00

Most people seem to be any horror movie "hand-held". "Blair Witch", "paranormal activity". Most people I know say they hate the AD. "However, I love the hell of M," a something new and innovative, offering new to the market panic, because let's be honest, I see the same damn thing over and over tired I mean, for Christ, seven films "Saw" and five "final destination". And it was not enough, each new edition of the classic. No matter how many people the concept, but I see, I hate all unique.

Unlike other films in the "hand held" horror, I stated before, this film is more about a different style to film your own. Because there is "supposed" pictures back in 1974, one. Very friendly, and the frame rate is too slow and easily damaged from the point of view of others, might be interesting in some respects and so on. But there were some parts of the movie is crazy with the white tops and jumping techniques. But once you pass mark of 30 minutes of the movie, they start the pattern of use, and is not used frequently observed.

But the biggest problem I had with the film's story. As you can see, the "Blair Witch", which gave him at least back to the story of what happened. ...... This of course is that I love. You can go through this technology, if you cover something like ghosts or evil spirits. Even if you do not know anything about it, we have an idea of what the main characters face. But if you're in a strange place, like the moon, and you're dealing with strange creatures, it is necessary to explain a little more if they left the public confused. In this case, I had to scratch very hard. This is mainly because I had no idea why they were there, what they did and what the intentions of governments. It was nothing more than speculation, as I said.

And assumptions, which means that these creatures really want to talk, because you can never establish with this cup that looks really full. You can view a short 2.1 seconds or so damaged that make the movie on the screen.

Not only will never have an idea of how these creatures. What are your intentions? How do they live? What are they capable of? Please, someone with some answers to the curse of the movie! But amid the confusion, and the only thing that I love, and density. There are some scenes that really had to go. Throughout the film, not build more. So naturally I was expecting horror Super Grand Final. "But it ended abruptly and a little boring. And again, left me with a better chance.

Finally ...... I appreciate how filmaking different movie. But the plot was generally more of the holes and craters on the moon. I think if you said, and brushed some of the editing techniques, boring, so this movie was something to admire. It was my friends who was very good, and I do not hate, but not that kind of movie, and they are good.

Movie review : Our Idiot Brother - 2011

2011-09-01T18:38:00.000+07:00

This film is so nice. His hero is so sweet. Her sisters considered him an idiot. Her sisters are so correct. He is an idiot in that he did not lie or cheat. It does not calculate the chances to get away from things. He trusted people. He always tells the truth. There was not a study showing that human society would collapse if we do not lie?

Ned (Paul Rudd) is a kind of saint. He has a joyful smile, wish you the best and not rancor. He also does not hold good jobs. It reminds me a little 'Harold Skimpole, a character from Dickens, who will never understand how much money has worked, or because it does not matter if you had nothing. When we meet Ned, who sells organic vegetables in the farmer's market, a little 'less than a secondary activity-the-counter herbicides. And when the police in uniform, says he has a bad day, and think that maybe something to sell, she slips a $ 20 bag of his rhubarb. Police in uniform.

After burst, Ned is released from prison early (he became a model prisoner for four consecutive months). He returned to the farm, he worked with his girlfriend (Kathryn Hahn), discovers she has a new boyfriend, and almost apologizes for the guy to turn unexpectedly. Stripped of his house, he begins to rely on the hospitality of his three sisters in their three-way, three pieces of work.

This film would not work without Paul Rudd. It is such a fine line. It must be nice, but not a fool. Sweet but not saccharine. Honest enough to cause problems, but still innocent. He not only does not lie, he never knows when he lied. When the genes were shaken his family tree, all of this kind, those who fell in his pool.

The circle through the spirit of flexible films, a list of secondary characters. Ned sisters Liz (Emily Mortimer), loving mother married to the director (Steve Coogan), Miranda (Elizabeth Banks), an ambitious writer who hopes to work for the magazine Vanity Fair, and Natalie (Zooey Deschanel), which may be a lesbian , and is certainly in love with Cindy (Rashida Jones). Their mother, Ilene, have played the legendary Shirley Knight, who is one of the few all-day wine drinkers, who can stay on to finish and never drunk. Needless to say, I suppose, that the character of Steve Coogan is a mouse, his characters are usually. But Cindy is a lesbian, free lesbian tired of every cliché in comedies, and hesitate to plots with Ned back to the property of Willie Nelson, my beloved dog.

I know someone like Ned. She is a woman. It has a supernatural gift to make a statement, seems confused when silence falls into place, and said, "Uh-oh. I thought everyone knew." Down, it seems that his sensational honestas to be blessed. It seems to cause damage and consternation, but the work of the manuscript, usually, it ends well, but by accident.

It 'refreshing, this late-summer heat to find a comedy that does not hate the characters and impossible to incorporate sexual and scatological. Our Idiot Brother", directed by Jesse Peretz and written by Evgenia Peretz, David Schisgall, is so good-hearted as his hero. I saw Paul Rudd has a lot of movies, but never realized it could be just as lovely Amy Adams and Mary Steenburgen. Evgenia Peretz and Jesse were the sons of Martin Peretz, editor-in chief emeritus of the New Republic, and the other day, my friend Margo Howard was tweeting that he is known for children Peretz, because I was born, "and goes back years, always been his habit to sit on "Twitter is not encouraging detail.

The film ends with a series of improbable happy ending, which I would normally oppose. But after producing a result that reinforced the dog will be named Willie Nelson, all is forgiven.

Movie Review : Colombiana (2011)

2011-08-31T20:08:00.000+07:00

When a director of dubs is Megaton, whatever esoteric allusion, and even if it is French, you do not expect subtlety. And subtlety is definitely not what you get with "Colombiana", the gateway slender hyperactive action-thriller/fashion-week with Zoe Saldana as the latest trend in deadly weapons. Saldana is the new Schwarzenegger, only lighter, more dynamic and much better in spandex? I think so.

The B-movie blam blam bloody explosion is the latest reading a book by Luc Besson lovelies bruises that are best not crossed. What began in 1990, "La Femme Nikita," followed by "Leon" in '94, and '97 's "Fifth Element" (the last written by Robert Mark Kamen, who co-wrote "Columbian" with the B-man), he refined in the "Columbian".

Meanwhile, a former graffiti artist Olivier Megaton, which in recent years has been the umbrella Besson directs a train moving very fast in 2008 for "Transporter 3", seems to hit his hand in this last trip to the magazine to spread the 'murder. Saldana is the body that helps the model to focus on and pride, all combining to make a slick, hard work of beauty.

Murder begins in Bogota, where Cataleya (Saldana) is just a schoolgirl 10 years doing homework at the kitchen table when the gun thugs sent by the local drug lord down her parents before her. It establishes the reason for revenge, but better yet, an excuse to step unusually fine opening chase scene that shows the beauty, danger and athletics as a young parkour Cataleya (Amandla Stenberg) races, rollers and jumps over, around and through tightly stacked houses and streets serpentine hill to escape the killers. His passport security - Chicago and uncle - she swallows a flea, then expelled through the table from a very unhappy embassy official.

It is in the tradition of giving the protagonist Besson of trauma that both changes and define the life that follows. It certainly does for Cataleya. On his first day of school in Chicago, she said Emilio's uncle (Cliff Curtis), the only thing she wants to learn is how to become a murderer. In a twisted way back to school special moment, Uncle E shall explain any term explosive than it really needs a good education if she really wants to be a killer though. Who knew?

Although it is not Cataleya grow, we can assume it must have been an excellent student, because the next time we see her pulling a murder that involves sophisticated intelligence to be wearing a body suit and the execution of a series contortions in tight spaces that would make Houdini jealous. No wonder that their goals are linked to the crew that killed their parents.

If the director nod to the artistic inclinations, he gave the name of an image orchid - (Cattleya, gardening purists out there) - the signature inked on the bodies of his victims. It helps to knit together the plot, the FBI agent played constantly drawn pattern Lennie James, the Colombian Drug Lord Don Luis (Beto Benites), his No. 2 Mark (Jordi Molla), and a dirty CIA agent (Callum Blue), which helped to shift to Don Luis and his friends with them in a sort of off-the-books fraud in witness protection in New Orleans.

Since this is also a love story, is a piece of Cataleya get naked with the bears well filled, Michael Vartan as Danny. He has an artist who does not ask lots of questions, a good thing considering his obsession with disordered. Murders prove to be a breeze compared to the complications of love and the film does a good enough job of bobbing and weaving between them Saldana brings much verve and emotion attributions as a homicide.

But never forget the directors of their agenda and the removal of the main bodies accumulate more exotic and incredibly complex ways, all very intelligent and well-shot director of photography Lacourbas Romain, who has worked in 'Transporter 3' Megaton Maintaining the style levels of Maxim are set decorator, Patrick Olivier Durand with the dress designer dress Bériot exploit the possibilities offered by Saldana lean, leggy frame

All this combines to make "Colombiana" outrageous in a mixture of action, sex and violence. My apologies in advance for having so much fun.

Rango 2011 review - trailer

2011-08-29T08:57:00.000+07:00

In a world choked by animated films - the good, the bad and the ugly - it's hard to be original or great. However, director Gore Verbinski has done so much - and no 3-D - breaking the rules and new horizons in the city of dirt. This bending moment, amazing, Just-Go-with-the fable, the story moves on roads crowded, Hawaiian shirts and the problems of modern cars, leggings and long-term problems of water rights, the land-grabbing and greed. And in a funny actually, everything makes sense.

Had the first signs of the mind that wants to use off the "Mousehunt", the first grid along Verbinski directed. Since the film is a failure, but its string factory, Manse decaying mouse and wrong were oddly fascinating anyway. Things finally materialized in a concepts intelligent, he again guides the seeds up to three first installment of "Pirates of the Caribbean", and he could not do better than Jack Sparrow get to go to a fully animated. Johnny Depp as Rango voice, ready to be enchanted first moments of a terrarium, with Lars, he spends his time reading files Barbie broken and dreaming of a great time.

Crack Screenplay: John Logan ("Gladiator," "Last Samurai"), with "Pirates" creative that connects with Verbinski, a conceptual artist James Ward Byrkit and visual effects wizard Mark "" Crash McCreery. They gave Lars journey of self discovery, self starting the wreck of the road, crossing the Mohave. He drops a pet cuddled a nightmare in the desert, but the freedom to respond to the destiny calls it a town called Dirt, something that looks a lot like "High Plains Drifter", complete with a saloon.

Before you know, Lars took the role of a lifetime. It flies nickname Rango a bottle of beer, pins on the badge and put it on high nooning wicked eyes makes a lizard with brown eyes named Beans (Isla Fisher) and trying to figure out where the water is gone . Because it is a place where the hero - and references of the film - ". The Wild Bunch" is made with wild abandon, much like

While Depp and is dominated by Fisher, the film is due to the richness of a sprawling cast characters. Among the standouts are Abigail Breslin as Priscilla, precocious young mice, Alfred Molina, as the spirit of the warrior named armadillo roadkill (and the name and sight gags), Bill Nighy brilliant villain Rattlesnake Jake, Ned Beatty as the stone-turtle to Amir Mayor (mix-tape, John Huston in "Chinatown" and the wheelchair by Lionel Barrymore in "It 'a Wonderful Life"). The expression is in that old book style tale of fantastic beasts carried out in exceptional detail, even if they are included in the warts, or spines.

Excitement will surely find the source of the decision Verbinski to "sounds" costumes and sets to work all the scenes together as a good work in isolation booths. The result is a spark and the connection between the characters, who are often able to get the animation is present and the level of improvisation that seemed impossible, that the genre.

Verbinski went to Industrial Light & Magic is an animation, a "rank" the first visual effects house, and hopefully far from the last animated feature film. The company is certainly a story of nature, the beginning of creation, when you set it up for 'Star Wars' George Lucas. After that, it leaves deep scars in several movies, including "Terminator," "Transformers" and "Avatar." But there is a freshness you can feel the "Rank", which will be the new men on the bridge.

Despite "range" palette of dust often corresponds to a dry town with not a drop of water (white music), the massive sweep of the sky and the desert floor allows a creature to fill the screen or decrease depending on context . The characters are an eclectic band with touches of fantasy everywhere, from the band of pure rodents led by the patriarch of Balthazar (Harry Dean Stanton) to the mariachi band of owls that shows through a serenade.

For adults there are art and the wealth of allusions, even in the score by Hans Zimmer (surely someone will come with a quiz to cover references countless films woven into nearly every scene). There is laughter inducing burlesque, and even high-stakes confrontation moral to the story for children. All this together creates a Wild West that is simply good fun for the old.

But the greatest triumph is that Verbinski has delivered the animation instead of the lock. It is indeed a new sheriff in town with "Range", destined to become a classic. Is likely to make a few dollars too.

Drive (2011) review - trailer

2011-08-28T19:06:00.000+07:00

Occasionally a film comes out that makes you sit there and wonder, "What I just saw?" Most of the time this problem is unlikely to respond to a supervisor. In the drive, it seems to be exactly what Nicolas Winding Refn want you to ask.

The first scene shows the driver (Ryan Gosling), giving their only rule of Wheelman, while passengers back to the car in five minutes, he will do anything to escape. Had it not time, however, he left. He then proceeds to put this statement into action as two thieves escape with police. We see a combination of a high-speed chase and a stealth action thriller as police search for the car while the driver narrowly escapes them at every turn. One of the most tense scenes in a movie to date and effectively sets the tone for the rest of the film. Over the next 95 minutes, it will be uncomfortable and on the edge of your seat - but make sure you sit through it and never turn your head.

After returning, we met near the driver, Irene (Carey Mulligan). Her husband is in prison, and she takes care of their son alone. The relationship is between the driver and Irene is sweet, almost innocent, but intensely uncomfortable to watch. You know it's wrong, but want to root for the couple anyway.

Although it can be revealing, it looks like something that should be disclosed and discussed before seeing the film - no blood, much of it, and is surprisingly realistic. Halfway through the movie, things take a turn for the worse and punches are thrown and fired guns. It is not unexpected, but most of the films competing to represent the sequences of blood, is easy to see the action as it unfolds, as you sit at home and say that all false. Drive leading to another level, emotional film that makes you feel tense and on edge, but some of Gore will be those who have a weak stomach physically uncomfortable. As I watched the movie, I saw a woman leaving the theater. I did not see it return.

All around, the game was good. All played a character believable, but Gosling easily stole the screen, and really he should have. His character provides plenty of room for discussion, the driver can be read in different ways - like an old western "silent heroes" type, or even as a person with Asperger syndrome. His calm demeanor, nervous smiles, and the apparent lack of social skills synchronize perfectly with the character and seems to think the role of Gosling in Lars and the real love. It is possible that Gosling had in mind for the role of the moment the idea that the film has come in the mind of the writer.

Really, I do not think my review can give this simple film justice. All around - script, stage plays, etc. - everything is unique and deserves the highest praise. If your stomach is not easy to enrage, and you can prepare yourself for an exciting journey, see the drive when it hits theaters September 16

Bridesmaids (2011) review - trailer

2011-08-27T20:33:00.000+07:00

If this is just a chick flick, then call me a chicken. Witty, sharp and influence, "Bridesmaids" across borders by blithely ignore them. At one point, it's a farce that examines broad gauge in terms of sex of a woman. (The results are mixed at best.) On another it is a sophisticated comedy of manners and class that two bridesmaids at each other for control of marriage, except the fate of the bride . Through it all, free form interviews, the brilliant set pieces, the gross-out absurd, the flawless performance, Kristen Wiig has left the maid of honor, Annie, seeking its own destiny with a passion wrenchingly squint.

For a woman is a major film award. The script was written by Ms. Wiig and Annie Mumolo-two women are wise in the ways of improvement project and television and performed with extraordinary delicacy by Paul Feig, who created the television series "Freaks and Geeks". As a man, but I would say his biggest difference is its inclusiveness, and I'm not using this term, sticking to your PC. The filmmakers and their producers, Judd Apatow, the comedy show to include all sorts of quirks and qualities that make us human, effusions, numbness, tenderness, eloquent with rage, cold cuts, idiocy, . Their characters can not stop talking. A bad thing? No, a great thing, because this thing is so intelligent. They staged the best road sobriety tests, "the man with two brains," turned romantic items at the best advantage as a "waitress". And the right of the film could not Mr. Odder or right.

Wife, Lillian (Maya Rudolph), does not make sense in its own way. He knows of his impending marriage, its distance from Annie, her best friend since childhood. He also knows that his marriage plans are underway to capture the richest and pushiest her bridesmaids, ethereal unbearably Helen (well-measured performance of Rose Byrne).

The rivalry between fuels, Helena Annie much of the plot. It begins slowly and insidiously during a festive evening, with speeches rivals go ahead and build and more fun. This seems to be an organizing principle for this script first, then add that, then up, then push a little higher and keep it as long as there is something to build. The result is not organized all that he has lost some scenes and everything goes a bit too long. (The film could have done with less or no English, Annie co grotesque. They are based on nothing more than arbitrary concepts) That said, however, I wonder how many times the "Bridesmaids" and has reached the altitude peaks.

Priest (2011) review - trailer

2011-08-27T20:07:00.000+07:00

Priest seems to have designs on a couple of spectators who thought irreconcilable young devotees of the vampire genre overserved and older demographic that loves his Christian religious mythology with a healthy side moralized of violence. Each has its greatest hits, and never the twain shall meet with blood. Until now.

Except that, historically, the vampire genre has its roots in the Christian faith. Humans respond to their hobbies of the undead with crosses and holy water, superstitions and lasting (for newspapers) the promise of sunshine. The stakes are ritually driven by the heart. Vampires are not evil because they threaten our lives, but because of its threat to extend indefinitely the Earth - a clear challenge to the law of God and an abomination to those who must die. Based on the hit Korean Hyung-Woo Min manwho and directed by Scott Stewart, the priest offers a world in centuries of war between humans and vampires - a holy war is no different from the Crusades - is over for hosts of kick-ass men (and very radical, at least one woman) of the fabric. As if he could have ended differently.

But what follows - and starts Priest - the kind refracted into something a little more advanced for a time that is much more cynical. These priests heroic fight back with problems, social exclusion and without the use of virtually. Are subjected to menial jobs and years of nightmares. The crosses tattooed on the forehead only aggravate their pariah status. Broodiest of them, known simply as, well, a priest (Paul Bettany), stalks through the limits of the city's cathedral - the wall, a dystopian church and state under the influence of Bishop Orel (a limestone Christopher Plummer) and subjected to prayer wheels and the confession booths equipped with video voice-ID software. His brother (Stephen Moyer), Owen, meanwhile, lives in the desert beyond the city, a barbecue, where the border post-apocalyptic in the opposite direction of life and hope are scarce, but at least the leeches confined to reserves.

Or what he thought a horde of vampires haunt him and his family one night. Their mission: to go for kidnapping, virginal daughter Lucy (Lily Collins) in a plot to make retired priest and uncle into the trap of claim vampire leader of the Black Hat (Karl Urban), a priest, once that has an outstanding with his old friend. Only dear Lucy Hicks lawman (Cam Gigandet) landed on the threshold of the new priest with holy orders going rogue, challenging and peel the church across the landscape in nitrocycle HyperSpeed to save Lucy from the clutches of deadly enemy . After all, this is not a job for the police. It never is.

For Stewart and screenwriter Cory Goodman credit until all takes about 10 minutes flat, leaving Priest is 77 minutes in the dark, deserted the action by hand. Even more to their credit, there is something charming in the darkness, no poetry in its desolation. The plot is fine, as vampires, even the cry of the strong, sticky mouths, tearing through space Assing and meat with both grace nervous. (The people of talents "- air rock-step, vertical jumps. - To leave us a chuckle)

But the priest is to compare some of the West, too, and it is not literally the name of a man, Bettany Cast Lead in the kind of convictions more than hockey and 3-D CGI, the darkness. She is psycho-flagellating reverse Bettany criminal cult by the Da Vinci Code, at this point, the faith of the priest is more unstable that his psyche, and they were injured in the eye is to complain that his life of sacrifice is in vain. He may be the ulterior motive or two will continue to Lucy, but in the end, this is just off a warrior who is a priest - and the church and the city and fragmented vampire society-friendly "family members" are willing to recognize that the model they have created together. "I like to kill, it should be easy," said Hicks, after their first roll of a vampire. "It is simply," the priest is responsible, ash and shame. "Easy to deal with it."

Read in this metaphor is what you want but do not go much further. The other pastas are all summer, and exciting enough on it. Shipments Church priestess (Maggie Q) to track the high priest, which takes a little time refreshing - like their predictable, if affecting the romantic background story. Urban is a natural ravages the villain, the killings entire city with curves, free-swinging against the outbreak of members and Cathedral City in his epic of the goods by imposing the death of vampire. He delights in bad lines ("I can feel the blood flowing in your veins, smell dinner") and bad behavior, ultimately revealing the Black Hat successor ambitions ensure confidence.

And you know what? I liked the Priest, I liked the priest, and not very present one of these characters back. The same goes for Scott Stewart, but on the other hand, I've never seen a movie so that the scenes of inactivity on display can be visually confusing than its action sequences, on the other hand Bettany is a manager rare case, which seems to take it. All of this is the intensity of the Stewart Foundation, a camera that loves a good first floor as much as (if not more, honestly), good effects shots. To borrow a description of a priest of this weekend's contemporaries in the mid-budget 3-D in the summer of vampire action movie should not suck. Or is it a faith-based priest vs. evil film? Who knows? In both cases, it works.

A Good Old Fashioned Orgy (2011) review - trailer

2011-08-27T19:45:00.000+07:00

One of the guys in this fast-paced, sexy film that his generation, those in their 30s, compared to what came before and after, more pale."The lamest" If this group who likes to have fun, spend my crutches I want in. While some life-is-party-people across the country, hope they serve beer in hell, the whole band to Alex Gregory and Peter Huyck is "A Good Old Fashioned Orgy" are probably thinking about things cool vodka and tonic when the flames get too close.

Although at peak times, so to speak, like Judd Apatow are the light, the language is happily unkempt As you can imagine, when a group of 30 forty, almost everyone, but everyone thought that their feelings for each other are Platonic plan a wild party Hamptons. Fortunately, Eric (Jason Sudekis), handsome boy is a gang, and the organizer of the party in fact, his father (Don Johnson), owns a sprawling house, which rarely live. The bad news is, however, that the father wants to sell, which would mean that the big Labor Day party-cum (again, so to speak) is the final orgy. Still, Eric is smart enough to find ways to sabotage the sale.

Friends who believe that it is fun to serve the bean dip out of the brown water is my kind of people. If you accept, will be a fan, like me, a huge explosion is smooth and that everyone gets what they want, whether it is a girl who secretly keep a flashlight by Eric, timid, who dreams of doing with a guy and loyal mental health workers must stop intellectualizing the party people who cover their inability to make deep emotional commitment.

Mike (Tyler Labine) is a guy who can only seem to make the audience laugh. Despite Overkill wearing t-shirts, which confirms that "life is too short not to be Norwegian." In general, stoned out of my mind, when you do not cure a hangover, Mike, get comeuppance when he said, the unemployed, is simply pet of Eric and Eric, who became impressed with his father's thin, blond Agent Real Estate, Kelly (Leslie Bibb), is likely to be overwhelmed people who want to strengthen him.

Once people are on board the orgy, the women sign, Sue (Michelle Borth), is another girl who has a thing for Eric, Laura (Lindsay Sloane) wants out of his shell and psychologist Allison (Lake Bell ) joined only when the day breaks up with her. Perhaps the best scene is the investigation of men, having never before had an orgy. In a sex club chaired by Vic George (David Koechner, of all people), they learn the details (should I say "so to speak"?), Retired to the television to watch a porno old days.

Gregory and Huyck know how to write great one-liners and caps bearing their directors to keep the action moving at a rapid pace, as the interpreters of the story so low.

The Inbetweeners (2011) review

2011-08-26T09:42:00.000+07:00

Five years ago, British TV channel for teenagers, E4, launched two new shows. "Skins" was designed to shock the bourgeoisie with their tales of teenage promiscuity and drug use. The cast was full of pretty things to play Bristol wealthy privileged teenagers. However, "The Inbetweeners" was about normal children living in the suburbs boring housing in rural England. Children with parents who stifle, rather than ignore them - children who are struggling to get laid competing gas money, and go on two pints of beer. Children who have cars shit, and girlfriends downloading, and spend their time masturbating and farting.

"The Inbetweeners" was as much about modern life as "Skins" - with all the usual references to video games, text messaging and the interpretation of the use of "smiley face". But so far, "The Inbetweeners" was basically an old man who comes of age comedy, with four players worry endearing things all concerned about this age, no matter what decade we have grown in the premise of the base has a wide appeal was broad demographic "Skins". He showed us that we were really more than I would have liked to have been. And the icing on the cake was crisp, funny dialogue writers Damon Beesley bite and Iain Morris (the man behind "Peep Show"). Not to mention the courageous attitude of the young actors to humble themselves in public. To give some examples ....

Posh Clown Will MacKenzie (Simon Bird) is seen shitting themselves as able lanky mutt, Neil Sutherland (Blake Harrison) are seen cut his nob while pissing in the beer cans behind the car, but seriously dim Simon Cooper (Joe Thomas) , is seen as modeling with Speedo testacle sticking out of it, and Jay Cartwright (James Buckley) speaks almost exclusively on "clung" while completely failed to get any.

The genius of the team behind "The Inbetweeners" was to kill the TV when it was still bright and not to invent some reason, the urine of the poor to escape from it. The children made his three terms in the sixth year of the three series, and that was the end of it. And this new film looks less like the typical Hollywood shameless cash (which will have to wait for the MTV version produced by it) d credible and plausible to trace the history of children "in the summer after the school year has ended. By leaving the four young men face Greece in a cheap vacation package new targets for humor writers - cheap flights, holiday representatives doubtful lousy entry Scams night club and the holiday romance - and let the actors do what comes naturally - which is drinking, vomiting, shitting, eliminates at inappropriate times, and somehow, by some miracle, actually find girls that will give them the time of day.

I laughed out loud throughout the movie, loved the in-references to the events of the TV series (Will accidentally pissed off - especially Cameo Gilbert, my favorite character in the TV series, on the closing credits). And even though I really can not evaluate, I'm guessing that the characters are sufficiently well established in the film, even if the person was not considered a TV series would find funny. To be honest, Ben Wheeler DV photography did not really need to see on the big screen, but this is not a glorified TV movie. There are few greater feelings in life is to be a crowded movie theater with a group of people who share the same sense of humor. Right R-rated humor, which is not to try oh-so-hard to be subversive, and fails (Horrible bosses, I'm looking for you), but it is a moment of reality and authenticity of how the guys are talking about. Seeing the guys dancing on some unsuspecting "clung" on their first night in Greece, is worth the ticket price alone!

The Beaver (2011) review

2011-08-24T11:51:00.000+07:00

Bizarre and belabored, but grimly fascinating, "The Beaver" opens in Mel Gibson's painful when you are looking for times, which sounds a bit 'like Michael Caine says: "This is a picture of Walter Black, a hopelessly depressed individual". It does not seem promising, but the film, which was directed by Jodie Foster, has more than it promises, ie performance that draws its exceptional know-how and irresistibly what it takes to be a real movie star whose life anxiety private has become a ruin.

The narrator, as it evolves, is Walter himself, toothsome and rodents of the title is a puppet he wears on his left hand. With Beavers Walter suddenly and almost exclusively, begins to speak in an English accent to his wife worried, Meredith (played by Ms. Foster), his son terrified teenage Porter (Anton Yelchin) and his colleagues start to work. I'm not telling you something you can not find the trailer, and it is part of the problem with Kyle Killen scenario. It is a drama that does not depend solely on one device, a knack for being a puppet of the author, but deprives us of any sense of discovery by specifying the device sense a short film that gives Walter everyone he meets: "The person who handed you this is under the care of a prescription puppet designed to create a psychological distance between himself and the destructive aspects of his personality."

That would be a sufficient diagnostic, also refers to a pair of parallel. Porter writes term papers for other students, but does not know how to express themselves, Porter and his girlfriend, art, Norah, has given up painting because of ... I was thinking of a spell over all?

So what is recommended in "The Beaver"? First, but not least, Jennifer Lawrence plays Norah. I wish we had not been released because their "winter Bone" first film, the paper does not deserve it. However, full time, even a degree of manipulation of language with warmth and intelligence, at no cost. Then there is the man on the right of the puppet, in turn, tortured, ill humor, cartoons and charming. When I met Mel Gibson in Sydney almost 35 years, was a handsome young actor, with an open face with a winning smile, a generous gift and a bright future, though no one could imagine the magnitude of its success, or the depth of fall. The gift remains.

Rio (2011) review - trailer

2011-08-23T13:29:00.000+07:00

Deep in the jungles of Brazil, the world's last surviving male poachers blue macaw can be collected and shipped to Minnesota, where he falls into the back of a truck and lands in the hands of the owl girl named Linda.

Fifteen years later, Linda has gained owl young woman (voiced by Leslie Mann) and his name very imaginative Blue for him, became a stickler to fly sips of hot chocolate and talk about what precipitated the nose bursts Jesse Eisenberg.

Enter Tulio (Rodrigo Santoro), a bird watcher Blu nerd Brazil convinces Linda to go to Rio to mate with a gem of a free mind (Anne Hathaway), the last surviving woman of the species. When the plan goes wrong, since these plans often do, and the jewel winding claw Blu chained and held captive by a vicious smuggler (Carlos Ponce) and his band.

After: escape attempts, hang gliding over the bay and subplots involving game, with no particular order, a henpecked toucan (George Lopez), a malicious cockatoo (Jemaine Clement), a drooling bulldog (Tracy Morgan) a package of pickpockets and two experts on urban birds monkeys (Jamie Foxx and will.i.am). Does not even mention the minions and lovable dingbat street children in Brazil. Or the many musical numbers in mind.

Most of this has a meaning close to zero, and why should I? "Rio" is a good-natured family film and a party visual splendor of a movie - a magnificent 3-D trip to Brazil on the eve of Carnival. Culminating, as he knew it would, in a sea of dancers in feathers and sequins street with floats on the city's annual bacchanal.

The humor is a bit 'strange, and the operation is a bit' wild, but all he whooshes past tropical cyclone of colors and pseudo-South American benevolence. Breathtaking scenery meets bizarre characters and minor ethnic stereotypes.

Created by the studio (Blue Sky) and director (Carlos Saldanha, a Brazilian) behind "Ice Age" movies, "Rio" has the old familiar fizz: The climate may have warmed considerably, but the frantic pace and spirit of joyful interspecific cooperation is unmistakable.

Water for Elephants (2011) review - trailer

2011-08-23T13:05:00.000+07:00

There is something endearing old-a story of love between a great driver and a child who runs away to join the circus. What is "Water for Elephants" most intriguing is a third person, reminds us why Christoph Waltz won the Oscar for best supporting actor for "Inglourious Basterds" (2009). Touch the circus owner, who is married to the pilot and keep her and everyone in his iron fist.

The story, based on the bestseller by Sara Gruen, is told as a flashback of an old man named Jacob (Hal Holbrook), who lost his parents in 1931, left the veterinary school at Cornell University took the road and jumped a train arrived, I do not know, a circus train. Played by Robert Pattinson in his youth, is naive and enthusiastic, and his eyes filled with amazement at the lovely Marlena (Reese Witherspoon) on his white horse program. The owner (Valse) in August ready to throw the train until he learns the young Jacob know anything about veterinary medicine.

In an age of special effects and spectacle prefabricated, of course, a lie is a kind of old-fashioned (and pleasure) to see the movie about real people and set credible. Production designer Jack Fisk, has created a credible a circus here, and the train itself is a personality. (August and Jacob spend incredible time to walk or run on it, but that's okay.)

The dynamics of the story is based on jealousy August Marlena, and his stubborn loyalty to his marriage contract. This is where Vals contribute. Shorter than Robert Pattinson, in fact much larger than Witherspoon, who reigns throughout the world as a hard master, whose charm lies a cold inner core dynamics is the same, is the ruthless Nazi "Inglourious Basterds". It gives a lot to offer toast with a knife hidden inside.

Recession of the early days are hard, and few jobs. The circus is in deep debt, and in August for the production of a new star attraction, he believes can save it. This is Rosie, a middle-aged elephant, who thinks he can ride with Marlena, and Jacob can be trained and treated, even though neither has previously worked as an elephant. Scenes in which the elephants understanding of personality and language to create a natural charm, and the film around them convincing portrayal of life in the circus on the road.

Highlight of the film is a series of terrible events, I will not describe except to say it's a bit difficult to know how they started to move. It is also difficult to understand why Marlena will continue to be such a devoted wife until August no longer deserves the privilege - but that it does save the film from dissolving completely into melodrama.

"Water for Elephants" was directed by Francis Lawrence, whose "I Am Legend" and "Constantine" are not predictions of this relatively conventional film. The screenplay by Richard LaGravenese, including "The Horse Whisperer", also showed sympathy for the personality of the animals. Rosie is not as charismatic as a horse, and as noted by Jacob who suffer from dry skin, but you have to admit that his timing is impeccable., What is good entertainment for the family of a PG-13 safe, but not an idiot, and is a refreshing interlude before reaching the success of the summer.

Midnight in Paris (2011) review - trailer

2011-08-22T11:25:00.000+07:00

Was there ever really a golden age? And if so, did they know then? If people can recognize a golden age when they are in? For Woody Allen, whose musical tastes and cultural run for the years 1920 and 30, these questions probably fueled countless daydreams. And now, out of all this thinking is "Midnight in Paris", a film that is in love and melancholy, and often hysterically funny.

Romance is integrated into the design. A writer who has always been nostalgic, today visits to Paris and falls through a wave in time: In a Paris street, a clock strikes midnight and a taxi up to 1920 discs. F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald are in, and take him to a party. Although at first the writer thinks that these are false Fitzgerald and is a costume party, he soon realizes that this is the real deal. Surrounded by music and styles you like and mingled with their idols and heroes of art.

Our hero of the film retains the break as easily as it should be. Meeting celebrities can be quite difficult, but compliance with the legends of the past - the eagerness to please is overwhelming. But there is always a touch of bitterness, too, because you look 20 years through the eyes of a modern person who is a world that is by definition the past. The past is always romantic, because he's gone, just like the future is always scary because you're away.

I have no idea at work here in Paris, as well. Allen takes the concept of life on the streets of the past and makes a literal "Midnight in Paris", so that everything that has ever happened in this city will never go away. You live in parallel worlds - which is sometimes how we feel when we visit major cities like Paris, Rome or New York.

Gil (Wilson) is able to go back and forth in his day, and '20s, so we need to hear the contrast. In 21 century, is engaged to a terrible game spoiled brat Rachel Mc Adams-no compromise. At the same time, his Rambles Night 20s, is in love with Adriana (Marion Cotillard), who is having an affair with Picasso. As was the case with Penelope Cruz "Vicky Cristina Barcelona" Woody Allen's door for the first time an American film, fire, and the Allure Cotillard has shown his work in Europe.

Meanwhile, between nostalgia and all the nostalgia, because this movie is hilarious Allen arrives to take an endless source of comedy: every time you laugh, laugh, or 10, simply introduces another writer or artist and play with our expectations . Every scene, for example, with the participation of Ernest Hemingway (Corey Stoll) is a cry, because Allen has to talk about how Hemingway wrote. There is even a joke Man Ray here. And if you know of Luis Bunuel's "Exterminating Angel", you're going to fall off the chair when Gil began to feed him ideas for the film.

Adrien Brody appears as a young Salvador Dali - a good cast. Alison Pill is very similar to Zelda, but Tom Hiddleston is too long, Scott Fitzgerald, who was only slightly larger than Woody Allen. But Kathy Bates is just as Gertrude Stein, as a substantial and maternal than you would like it to be.

The Skin I Live In (2011) review - trailer

2011-08-22T11:09:00.000+07:00

"The Skin I Live In" is, like most films of Spanish director of a film that can not be announced or explained in a few sentences. I remember her excellent work in "Talk to Her" and "All About My Mother." "Talk to Her" was a love story between a woman in a coma, and her rapist, while the mother was a film about a nun with AIDS, a transvestite with a heart of gold and a woman looking for the heart of his son. In one of the films of Almodovar phrase all sounds twisted at best. But in the hands of a master, they are beautiful works of art. Ditto for "The Skin I live In." In one sentence (like so many others who have not seen the film are quick to point out), the movie seems scary at best and deal with a plot that makes the more unpleasant.

A plastic surgeon (Banderas) belongs to the family directly from Pasolini's Salo. Maintains a beautiful woman (Anaya) as a guinea pig and try to create a new type of skin. But the character of Anaya, in what seems a metaphor for the film, his character remains the house intact, regardless of what happens to your body. Like most films of Almodóvar layers become more complex as the film unfolds and by the end of the film there is a rebound that Freud could have found.

Without spoilers, I want to stress that the director appears to use terror as a channel to explore the violation of all moral character code embodied. With a beautiful score by Alberto Iglesias, Almodovar is trying for a difficult genre, and it pays. Set design and cinematography, as always with Pedro film is excellent. The reception sticks the film was a mix I can understand why. It is simply not an easy film to watch. For those who do not seem to have a problem with American horror films where teenagers are persecuted, raped and cut into small pieces with a chainsaw, but is horrified by "the skin where I live," I have a suggestion : Let us remember that fiction is in fact the only place where you can face the horror and gore as metaphors for our human weaknesses, a place where we do not have to hide our demons, but we will talk to them, one hand how the patient is not bad .. . As Hitchcock said, is only a movie, my dear.

Attack the Block (2011) review - trailer

2011-08-21T10:53:00.000+07:00

In " Attack the Block," the feature writing and directing the first British comedian Joe Cornish, an alien invasion occurs in a public housing complex in London, and only a group of teenagers seem to realize.

Pulse with a bustling energy, the film works both as a fiction horror sci-adolescent adventure film. The biggest trick is withdrawn from Cornwall opens the film with his players attacking a woman (Jodie Whittaker) and still somehow make them appear as the story unfolds, deserves to be known (and rising brutality never excuse).

Circumstances may force the victim of aggression to join forces with them, and their transition from villain to hero in terms of public sympathy is simply excellent, especially for the leader of the gang, Moses (John Boyega).

Cornish approaching history with either condescension or nostalgia. The film clearly references monster movies of the 80s-era as "The Thing" and "Gremlins" in its visual style, but rather than go to some vague "makes me feel like I'm 12 years old still "feel that is popular with the crowd Comic-Con, Cornish create something that feels fresh, new and now. One of the big laugh lines of the film comes in the middle of a race that one of the boys exclaimed, "This is madness too much to explain in a text"

The film is not the same hyperdrive, the consciousness of pop opera Edgar Wright - executive producer of this film, and partner with Cornish is a script for the next Steven Spielberg's "The Adventures of Tintin" - and that could be better. Cornish film is intelligent, but does not know, because he is obviously aware of what he is doing, without thinking opened the way of self-knowledge.

Even alien beasts themselves, the game of the match dog and monkey with that glow in the skin of black ink and teeth like a shag rug fear, feel original. Vibrant and exciting, "Attack the Block" is supposedly an expert in the movie too.

Source Code (2011) review - trailer

2011-08-21T10:35:00.000+07:00

A man wakes up on a train and have no idea how it got there. But the woman sitting opposite him know who he is and beats a conversation. She calls him by name - but not his name. And when he goes into the bathroom to detect faces in the mirror is not hers.

It's exciting to open "source code", a thriller that takes a premise of science fiction and not use it for the sake of flashy effects, but as a gate in the human soul. The story is simple, but the goal to feel about a man trying to identify who committed a mass murder - to prevent an even greater catastrophe.

Five minutes, the film includes everything for us: a commuter train is not really true. Earlier in the day, was destroyed in a terrorist attack. What we are seeing, but it is a kind of echo of memory. In the world of "source" science is able, for a while ', the opportunity to benefit victims of conscience' in order to re-create the last eight minutes of their lives - and collectively, to recreate everything you can do, that the train.

Just that concept in itself has power. One thing is seeing people on a train. But seeing these people and I know you see the last minutes of his life, everything they do makes sense and intensity. Moreover, knowing that what is not even real, it is not time travel, but only the waves of memory, creates a favorable awareness of the simplicity of human desire.

This is the "source code" for him before something happens, even. This is before the box was filled with a good story, a tense action, issues and programs to play great and deep.

Jake Gyllenhaal plays an army pilot who has been employed for a particular task. His conscience was screened in the body of a victim so he can look around, find out who blew up the train and head off another terrorist attack will take place in Washington.

His superiors will slow in reviving those eight minutes, and most of "Source Code" is to show the return trips. Each visit is a little different. Everyone is so urgent and desperate. Each presents a difficult situation: There are hundreds of passengers. How can you identify the culprit in just eight minutes?

Like his protagonist, "source code" gets a lot done in a short time and at the end of half an hour concise and packed, there is a feeling of having accomplished a journey. Vera Farmiga as the officer conducting the experiment, calibrate how well a soldier in the cold efficiency of mankind, and Jeffrey Wright as a scientist behind the ambitious project creates a detailed portrait of a twisted mind. Meanwhile, Michelle Monaghan, as one of the unwitting victims of the tragedy, is beautiful and vibrant. The concept of a man falls in love with a shadow of a dead woman is a pattern familiar in the art above. It is no less powerful in this picture very popular.

Director Duncan Jones has addressed some of these themes - the manipulation of science and the power and persistence of emotion - in his first feature film, "Moon", but a weak script led to a stagnant film. But here, working with a script by Ben Ripley top, he made a remarkable amalgam and win a gripping action film, which also serves as poetry.

Accuracy of science should be left to someone else to evaluate. But the hopes of evoking the great life - and the painful distance from ordinary people, things are looking for and what actually find - "Source Code" is a true and eloquent expression.

The Lincoln Lawyer (2011) review - trailer

2011-08-19T21:50:00.000+07:00

Matthew McConaughey plays a slick Los Angeles criminal defense attorney in the film adaptation of Michael Connelly legal thriller The Lincoln Lawyer. The public is likely to have a clear recollection of the star as a lawyer sweating Mississippi 15 years ago in the film adaptation of John Grisham legal thriller, A Time to Kill. These customers will be pleased to know that the man still looks great support in court, still offers his lines with an accent of the variable, with barbeque for dinner. This time, McConaughey is Mick Haller, who is familiar to fans of detective fiction bestseller Connelly's half-brother of the LAPD Harry Bosch. Haller beaten unorthodox: Sa''bureau''est the backseat of his chauffeur Lincoln Continental, and customers tend to be colored on the underside of the bridge type of character that actors love.

The client's most recent attorney, however, the products amateurs. Louis Roulet (Ryan Phillippe, her petulant lips telegraphing his position) is the son of a wealthy family and was charged with attempted rape and murder. He swears innocence, but it may or may not be guilty. And his case comes up against another former client convicted Haller already ill. He gets all moral gyroscope Haller swirling in a way that makes reading much, but not automatically compelling movie goes. Field projection is funny on paper looks like generic screen, here's another lawyer movie when the characters are just as interesting as the actors who play them. Director Brad Furman at least give them their space. Among the draws: William H. Macy (in hair Shameless) as a researcher for Haller, Marisa Tomei as Haller As is ex-wife, and Bryan Cranston (with more hair on Breaking Bad) in a small role as a detective swell hard-ass

Fright Night (2011) review - trailer

2011-08-19T06:02:00.000+07:00

"Fright Night" benefit from an ideal location in Las Vegas, the night city. And 'suburban residential insulation disturbing. Seen from the air is several square blocks of houses and roads completely surrounded by arid desert. Customers who bought his first house here was an optimist.

Maybe it was Jerry (Colin Farrell). It is a simple man, handsome and charming, who lives next to the Brewsters. Charley Brewster (Anton Yelchin) is a teen with little expertise on the usual vampires, so it is sensitive to vibrations of some of the neighbor. His divorced mother, Jane (Toni Collette), picks up the most room testosterone. They both wonder why Jerry is an unsightly dump in his front yard, and where all those clods come. The exterior of the house remains unchanged.

To be sure, all the windows blacked out Jerry, but we are told is not uncommon in Las Vegas, where so many people working in night shifts and sleep all day. Seems reasonable. Both houses are close together (especially in view of miles of empty desert around the development), and Charley find it easy to monitor the suspicious movements of Jerry's window second floor room. Charley friend Ed (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) communications that the student has been missing in their class, and begin to suspect that Jerry may be a vampire.

"Fright Night" was inspired by a somewhat 'similar to 1985, vampire movie with the same name, which was actually quite good and contained a lot of performance by Roddy McDowall unemployed for TV horror movie host named Peter Vincent, who took the teenager to advise it on a vampire killing. (The name is, of course, playing with Peter Cushing and Vincent Price, although a decreasing number of cinema-goers will be able to collect on it.) This time, Peter Vincent (David Tennant) is a magician Brit, that titles the casinos of Las Vegas, and claims to be an expert on vampires.

Setting details of the plot aside, I can reveal that Charley has a hot girlfriend (Imogen Poots), his mother, Jane is a character strong and grown, and no one will listen to suspect Jerry Charley - especially not the police, who, judging by the apparent size of the housing must have to commute between downtown Vegas.

David Tennant is funny and lewd, like Peter Vincent, vampire occupy the attic full of artifacts and alcohol consumption as high fighting a chronic thirst. He is selfish, rude and aggressive, and fell in love with Charley requests for assistance. But ... Well, he knows a lot about vampires.

"Fright Night" directed by Craig Gillespie and written by Marti Noxon, is several degrees better than "Final Destination 5", which opened a week ago. I say this despite my fear of certainty, the 'Fright Nights' 2, 3, 4 and 5, where more and more suspicious, the neighbors will be introduced to the most exotic locations. My needs are modest. Two films based on this premise in 26 years is enough.

The film is competent to make major decisions that seek to exceed the general requirements of their properties. It is a condition of the CGI (including probably the majority). Technical credits are first rate: the production design (by Richard Bridgland), art director (Randy Moore), prosthetic make-up (Aurora Bergere) and cinematography (Javier Aguirresarobe).

As in the previous film, it always dances on the edge of comedy. She mostly fun with the rules of behavior of vampires still teases Jerry about Charley. Without missing a thing, I can tell you that one of the inevitable issues through the heart in this film is based on the use of product placement. As vampire movies go, "Fright Night" is pretty good.

Conan the Barbarian (2011) review - trailer

2011-08-19T05:48:00.000+07:00

Composed entirely of massive, bloody set pieces, Conan the Barbarian is proof that the effort fans should be careful what they wish. Designed from the remains of what someone might think they want a film to look like Conan, but without any thought given to the characterization, plot or coherent staging and director Marcus Nispel a reimagining of the icon cartoon, with a few exceptions, a complete disappointment. Between Conan and Fright Night is a great boy battle at the box office for a draw gives Spy Kids 4 to steal the first place.

Conan is a Cimmerian warrior who is literally born on the battlefield. (14 years old Leo Howard plays him as a boy.) A natural fighter, he develops a sense of strategy and brutality at an early age. But when his father (Ron Perlman) Corin is killed before the eyes of incubation of the child, Conan dedicates his power to avenge the ruthless warlord Khalar Zym (Stephen Lang), which decimated his people and his life left in the ruins.

This takes time. Only Conan reaches adulthood, and an impressively muscled Jason Momo (Game of Thrones TV) who meets his enemy permanently. Khala Zym decision is now the intention of the group in the world of the mask, which grants mystical powers of the wearer. But Khala monaco need a female named Tamara (Rachel Nichols) to fulfill the prophecy in the mask, and when Conan found his weakness, has forced Tamara to join him in this task, only to be moved for the first time for any Another reason that revenge: his handsome company.

Babes in part, Conan the Barbarian is almost all activities. From the battlefield scene generated climactic showdown, there is hardly more than once on the screen that ticks minutes without someone is stabbed, wounded and bloody pissed on a rock. It is suspected that the filmmakers realized that at some point late in the production of the public who are drowning in a bath of blood, and add a sense of serious direction, taken as a number of Morgan Freeman, gives the narrative comments. But violence is so propulsive that it seems that even the actors themselves are surprised when it stops, when Rachel Nichols crush the enemy's head during a fight aboard a pirate ship, you look stunning turn around and find the rest of the team already celebrate their victory.

The biggest problem is that the action literally bleed together and there is no sense of rhythm. Even the most impressive pieces immediately began to back away from the white noise of film violence on the wall. Conan is the worst possible way on a one-dimensional hero: a man with an identity and a mission. Although he received an early lesson from his father about the need for a balance between fire and ice (it refers specifically to the steel of a good sword), Conan never changes. Notwithstanding any shred of respect that has developed very sexy Tamara, never learns anything, either. This lack of an emotional journey that gives the film without notable peak. Rather than not, learn something and apply this knowledge to defeat his enemies, Conan prevails merely because it occurred at the end of the story.

That said, Jason Momoa is a work of power and charisma of Conan willing to repair, while Nichols is believable love story that keeps growing thin empowerment of women in the testosterone heavy film on the ground. As the Warlord evil, Stephen Lang in question is maximized, even in bad finely drawn as Colonel Quaritch Avatar, can not do the same here, plus a failure of writing dull lack of personal effort. In fact, Lang real problem is one of the motivations of the character. Khalar wants revenge on his enemies in response to the loss of loved ones. This is Conan. And when two main characters was largely indistinguishable want the same things, but the hero is arbitrary and the other the villain is an irreparable problem that no amount of fighting can solve, even with the wonderful voice of Morgan Freeman narrating his confrontation .

As a fan of the original film, and the proto-advertised their glorious manhood, Frank Frazetta-inspired landscapes, I am pleased to future interpretations of Conan. But even in a character in the film whose priorities are "to crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women," This is pure barbarism.

Fast Five (2011) review - trailer

2011-08-18T07:39:00.000+07:00

Ten years and a number of innings later, "Fast Five" is the first result of 2001 "The Fast and the Furious," which is worth seeing, not an embarrassment or a parody of the original image.

Director Justin Lin, who directed the previous two sequels, is not that director Rob Cohen ("The Fast and the Furious") is, and still do not really know what to do with Vin Diesel. This is an action star in the mythic dimension, an actor who can take an audience anywhere, and half the time allowing Lin looks like any other good, middle-aged, bald.

But at least this time, We are looking for things. He found, for example, that it is always wise to give the last word on diesel fuel each scene to shoot him in the foreground, the soundtrack is a lot of support, even if his line is something like "We need to get fresh air." It does not matter. Diesel growling and words suggestive of his bass voice, what he says seems to me particularly important.

Lin is also the tone that eluded him in "The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift." "Fast & Furious," and finally made the transition from the gloriously stupid stupid, what is paramount in the action film. "Stupid" is when a movie is ridiculous, but take it seriously - and expects to take it seriously. "Gloriously Stupid" is a film that offers something ridiculous and you know it's ridiculous - but then agreed to go beyond ridiculous and will surprise you with the absurd and ridiculous film, can be pompous while keeping a straight face. "Fast Five" does exactly that.

The gloriousness starts two minutes Dominic (Vin Diesel), a street racer engineering, was sentenced to 25 years in federal prison - but no, do not be sad because it will never get there. His sister Mia (Jordana Brewster) and her boyfriend Brian subtle design a system for the purchase of the bus in prison - by forcing him to slide off the road and go back over half a dozen times at high speed. Why not just blow up?

Then a few minutes later, found in Brazil, depriving racing cars of a moving train, in a sequence that is laughable until you find yourself leaning forward in his seat with the mandible in the knees. Action choreography beautiful.

"Fast Five," Dominic, Mia and Brian are prohibited. They can not go home and can not earn a legitimate living in Brazil, so do not have the economic means for the crime. At the same time, the FBI agent on the trail is not a regular FBI agent, but the best part is - the toughest, meanest, most ruthless and driven, which is even bigger, meaner, and Balder the Diesel : Dwayne Johnson, the Rock.

But when Dominique, Mia and Brian is to be criminals, they must be virtuous and Chris Morgan, in his scenario, finding a good idea: they decided to steal a very bad guy, the most corrupt man in Brazil who exploit the poor and the police in your pocket. Dominic is the idea of a big score and then go out somewhere to relax. (After all, there's nothing more relaxing than looking over your shoulder for the rest of your life, knowing that you have torn from a gangster.) So they combined the ultimate team to remove the heist of the century.

"Fast Five" is not a movie idiots - idiots is not even a movie, although sometimes one wonders. (At one point, the gang steals the six police cars, and instead of making them garaged as quickly as possible, they race through the streets of Rio.) Rather, it is a film that the public think of the joy of living in film is more important than common sense or logic, and who can laugh and I like the film, at the same time.

Senna (2010) review - trailer

2011-08-18T07:05:00.000+07:00

"Senna" is a documentary with the pace of a thriller, a tale of motors and machinery is more than convinced by the intensely human story that counts.

Brazilian Ayrton Senna was the little genius Formula One Racing, winner of three world championships before dying in an accident in 1994 at the age of 34, a former Formula One driver runners recently voted the greatest ever lived.

But if everyone could do was Senna's race, it would be a great story. Although he could drive like the devil, Senna was a deeply spiritual person who believes and a higher power. A mystical philosophy with the nerves of a jewel thief and the sensitivity of a poet, not to mention the killer looks good, Senna was a truly extraordinary individual. And. Deeply contradictory

On the one hand, Senna is a sensitive man, who wore his heart hinged on his race run, one of your own heart can not help out so that it tries to maintain a sense of decency and dignity in the cup throat area. But Senna was also the toughest competitor you can imagine a person who lived to win and never hesitated to push the car beyond their designed capacities. Triumphed in Formula One, he told an interviewer, is "something so strong, like a drug. Once you experience it, you search for it all the time."

More than anything, Senna was a pilot who would not play the game, a legal person in an immoral world, who hated politics and the injustices he felt he saw around him. There is nothing to "Senna," begins with the driver about his adolescence as a driver of karts. "It was pure driving, pure racing," he said, looking back with a kind of nostalgia. "There was no money, no politics, it was real racing."

Senna story so compelling is the fact that on several occasions, as the directors Michael Mann, Oliver Stone, Walter Salles and Antonio Banderas, looking features. However, "Senna" director Asif Kapadia, turned out to be someone who had never been in a race.

However, Kapadia (whose first item "The Warrior" won the British equivalent of an Oscar) brings the gifts necessary for the table. He has a keen sense of drama, a gift for narrative unity, and the kind of unerring eye, need to shoot 104 minutes of film from 5000 hours of archival footage from 10 countries (the assembly of the film took a year and a half).

Not just any movie either. Aided by writer Manish Pandey, a fan of Formula One, which was instrumental in obtaining the cooperation of the Senna family and all the protection as a hierarchy, and their editors Kapadia Gregers Sall and Chris King had access material that no one "was able to use before.

This includes intimate footage at home, the photos taken in Senna's car while driving and riveting sequences of drivers who are often stormy meetings before each race. Watching the endless interviews, the filmmakers also used the fact that Senna was more open and forthcoming when it comes to Brazilian television than had been previously known.

Kapadia made a series of interviews with contemporary "Seine", recording the driver's family, journalists and experts like ESPN's John Bisignano and the Brazilian Reginaldo Leme. He also made a brave decision not to show the people interviewed for their observations using a strictly voice-over. It proves a wise choice, so you can remain fully involved in the reality of life of Senna as he lived.

Senna hated the game play on the right track with his first major race in 1984 Monaco Grand Prix, where the Brazilian, described as a genius of the rain, the area from 13 to almost about to win the tournament, before a controversial maneuver that he gave to France, Alain Prost.

Prost, a four-time world champion, was an enemy of Senna, a driver whose calculation, the legal personality led to his nickname "The Professor". The fierce rivalry between the two is something to do, what track to meet 1989 and 1990 Japanese Grand Prix with a powerful symmetry.

Senna was a dramatic innate personality that every team who participated in the impression that the most intense possible. Until I see the following. Perhaps his most exciting race was the Brazilian Grand Prix 1991 Grand, an event that Senna, a national hero in his home country, was desperate to win. The emotions and the physical limitations of matter exceptionally difficult competition unlikely.

Speaking at Sundance, where the film won the audience award in the world literature, writer Pandey spoke about the presentation of the film to Ron Dennis, head of McLaren, Senna was driving after a man known to be numb and being so conscious not to waste time he has a car and driver waiting for him wherever he goes.

"After the film ended, Ron Dennis cried for 10 minutes," says Pandey. "Then he sat and talked about Senna for two hours" Such is the power of this man and this movie.

The Hangover Part II (2011) review

2011-08-18T06:12:00.000+07:00

The crew even ruin is in place with the main culprits - Phil (Cooper), Stu (Ed Helms) and Alan (Zach Galifianakis) - the pressure of another drug and alcohol induced failure with a new missing person, a old nemesis resurfacing and another marriage in jeopardy. Justin Bartha is Doug, who had lost her husband last time shows shortly thereafter remain in the pool while his friends go wild and crazy in Bangkok.

Todd Phillips, who led the first and has a script full of other crazy comedy, "Old School" and "Due Date", including another player in return. It keeps churning chaos, squeezing the fun of what it can offer and awfully funny moments you may feel the need to apologize for laughing at the latest. Phillips has worked with Craig Mazin ("Scary Movie 3 and 4" and up) and Scot Armstrong ("Old School" and others) to write the last cycle of abuse. However, this scenario is much less original than the original written by Jon Lucas and Scott Moore, even though the two plots are so closely related that if you do not see for the first time, you will not get half the jokes in the sequel .

Here is the current configuration. It's two years later and a bad tooth / Nice / dentist geek Stu from Las Vegas is fixed, her wedding wedding chapel stripper was canceled, and his girlfriend ugly fall. It is about to marry his new squeeze, a girlfriend named Lauren (Jamie Chung). The setting is Thailand, embarrassing for everyone, but hey, it's his childhood home, and that's what parents want. Given the history, have a bachelor party was nixed for a brunch of pancakes. But peer pressure led him to invite Prime promoter Stu Alan mouths (Galifianakis), whose room is a sanctuary for the crimes in Las Vegas.

Soon, all check-in at a Thai resort beautiful, determined to make this marriage as possible without incident. But then things like they do at any time, Alan is involved with a pack of wolves wake up in a seedy hotel in Bangkok with a monkey, a body part cut in ice bucket, Stu blurred again and Mr. Chow back in their company (Ken Jeong, still naked and screaming). It gets worse, apparently, a few times during the night the bride's younger brother Teddy (Lee Mason) have disappeared. They will find Teddy, set a lot of things and get them back to the wedding.

Although Helms is still in charge of slapstick, Galifianakis is the glue BD criticism - it's funny how an old shirt, making it as comfortable and uncomfortable to watch, as required in the scene. Cooper is considered the alpha dog, I guess because he's always at the head of the pack, and to order the chaos that has sown. But in reality, the central goal of his character seems to call the disaster play-by-play for the wedding party, you usually do with his shirt unbuttoned, so it may be assumed that the eye candy too.

One of the great jokes to keep a high laugh factor "Hangover" was the combination of crazy kids meet strangers try to reconstruct what happened (the police, children and Taser, anyone?). The filmmakers have returned very well, but not so successful. Mike Tyson will return, but his cameo just do not have the same punch (so to speak). Kinky is not a monkey (Crystal), who is in his / her moments, but nothing satisfying than a child or a tiger or a chicken that embarrassing Vegas. It is a lot 'of barely there, Paul Giamatti ticking so difficult. Girls, as usual, are not essential frills.

Kung Fu Panda 2 (2011) review

2011-08-17T17:05:00.000+07:00

"Kung Fu Panda 2" is exactly as you expect and more. The animation is superb, the story is much more than the original, and boundless energy. I enjoyed as fully as I could, given the horror of his 3-D. The original film, 2-D wide screen was great. But never mind. Hollywood has brainwashed us (or themselves) to the 3-D is an improvement and not a nuisance.

What is the best, this extension is that duty is not a coating of the original, but an ambitious expansion. Among the many new elements, not least is the solution to the mystery of how Mr. Ping, a goose, could be the biological father of the Po, the panda. In the original film, as I can remember, each character represents a different species, so I thought maybe unexplored reproductive processes used. But no, Po paternity is explained here, and has a lot to do new development in the kingdom.

Because we are once again the story of this mythical kingdom of China, Po (voiced by Jack Black), reaching the status of the Dragon Warrior, the first film, will continue to lead the Furious Five: Tigress (Angelina Jolie), Mantis ( Seth Rogen), Monkey (Jackie Chan), Viper (Lucy Liu) and Crane (David Cross). Tigre of these is clearly the highest, and the Mantis is still a mystery, although it sounds like Seth Rogen, as a by-pass the weigh-ins?

Empire now faces the prospect that it will be conquered and ruled by the evil Lord Shen Peacock (Gary Oldman), whose henchmen have devised a new weapon that leads him to wander the earth for scrap. The Shen is a vicious enemy, throw sharp, pointed tail feathers like a circus knife thrower. It turns out that the mystery of the affinity Po can be explained by Lord Shen paranoia after a divination (Michelle Yeoh) tells him to take care of the pandas so that their fates are deeper than Po could imagine.

It's a film of DreamWorks, which is locked in competition with Pixar, and swings for the fences. The animation is much better than your average 3-D feature about cute little animals, even if arising from the 3-D effects are not favors. The story gets a lot of humor out of the Po, Jack Black is the voice he invest with more personality than you'd expect from a character that looks like a balloon in the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade. ("Kung Fu Panda 3" might open with Po works with a personal trainer, maybe tiger.) Director, Jennifer Yuh Nelson, extends the scope of the animation to include more styles than your pets cartoon base, and imaginary scenes involving Po story is quite beautiful.

Make voice on the job must now count as an important part of the repertoire of each player, and has created a demand for actors who have distinctive voices. Among the talent is here particularly successful Dustin Hoffman as a guru named Shifu. As it ages, Hoffman Master Calendar more and inflection of a stand-up comedy Smart. It is a gift.

Thor (2011) review

2011-08-17T16:28:00.000+07:00

It takes a director known for his sense of Shakespeare to an action movie spectacular summer filled with epic battles and struggles family.

According to Kenneth Branagh management, Thor has spectacular special effects, sound and performance, perhaps the most remarkable 3-D technology to good use. Although the plot has some holes, the dazzling appearance of the film, the action sequences rattling land bridge these gaps.

Based on the Marvel superhero comic book origins of Norse mythology, the God of Thunder to free jokes funny enough to make the whole enterprise more enjoyable.

Not only is it great to watch - thanks to CGI spectacular cast and production designer Bo Welch regular work - is anchored in a performance attractive, Chris Hemsworth. Although it seems every inch heavy Norse god, Hemsworth is not just a piece. His charisma and a charming smile go a long way toward engaging to do Thor.

Jane (Natalie Portman), Erik (Stellan Skarsgard) and Darcy (Kat Dennings) is a trio of contemporary scholars, as is done in a disoriented Thor, which crashed in the desert of New Mexico.

Wise father of Thor, Odin (Anthony Hopkins), has been banished from his irascible son of Asgard to give a lesson in hubris. Meanwhile, Thor, Loki's brother (Tom Hiddleston) has some tricks up his sleeve.

Portman and Hemsworth have good chemistry. I spend a night under the stars and talk about magic and science. "Their ancestors called it magic, call it science," said Thor. "I come from a place where they are one and the same thing."

But his best lines are drawn, ironically, the variations in the scheme of fish out of water.

Thor Hammer also magical land in the desert, which attracts men to run spy / right to a trial, the S.H.I.E.L.D In their midst is a cameo by Jeremy Renner, ready to bow and arrow. (Her character, Hawkeye, have more screen time in the adaptation of Joss Whedon for The Avengers, due out next year.)

The best scenes are thrilling battle between the Norse and their nemesis, the mighty Frost Giants. Sharply honed ice vs mighty hammer of Thor to create a massive, crushing chaos.

That is, if the 3-D will play a big surprise, and Thor suddenly to the ground in the middle of what looks like the aurora borealis.

Thor bright start in the realm of the gods of Asgard looks golden Vegas - and the palace looks like a giant pipe organ - but somehow it works.

Fans of The Lord of the Rings visual recognize some "loans". (Let's call it a tribute?)

Although you can not leave a lasting impression when the lights go up, Thor is a good fun light and thunder.

The Adjustment Bureau (2011) review

2011-08-17T14:25:00.001+07:00

Here we go again. I will be unable to stop myself. "The Adjustment Bureau" is a contradiction of free will and predestination, and there you have the dilemma of a lifetime, is not it? Or will the difference between what you want to do, or the book was already written, and all you can do is turn the pages.

That these issues are raised in a sci-fi thriller with a love story at its core should not be surprising. Sci-Fi offers storytellers the freedom to tinker with realism, and few writers have done with more complexity than Philip K. Dick. The film is written and directed by George Nolfi is based on a Dick story about a legion of "setting" that moves a strange thing and something known here, just to make sure everything goes according to plan. If the plan? Experts are not big on explanations. They are like secret agents of the rising power of your choice.

But the best laid plans of mice and men sometimes go astray. Chance barges, and the interference must be corrected. In "The Adjustment Bureau", Matt Damon plays a congressional candidate, David Morris, who enters the room of one of the men he has every reason to believe that it is empty, and must come from a stands, but Elise Sellas (Emily Blunt). What was she doing there? You do not need to cons-examine a Meet Cute. Above all, these two people who were never to meet that special chemistry which means they are a perfect match romantic. They know what we know, and when their eyes and their lips met, their stories intertwine.

Phillip Dick was intrigued by the devices that have examined the mechanisms by which life develops. I think he voted in favor of free will in the short term (duration of intelligent life on Earth, for example), the evolution of the average distance (things developed in accordance with fundamental principles) and predestination the long term (the universe of entropy and stop). A man and a woman whose eyes are cute should be concerned about the very short term.

In the film, David Morris realizes some men in suits and markers, which, curiously, are beginning to appear in your life. It meets two of them: Mitchell and Richardson (Anthony Mackie and John Slattery). They explain that they work for an agency that corrections when things go a bit. For example, David and Elise have no intention of keeping. What was he doing in the men's room, anyway? For her and David would not see.

OK, so this is where it gets fascinating. Do not see you again by chance. But this time, they recognize one another, you see, because they have encountered in the past. And 'possible for the second time they see each other would be the first time (if you follow me), they are not necessarily even notice one another. See a woman on the bus is not the same thing get into a conversation with his men's room. So answer me this: If the controls for the desire to forget, David, Elise, and never see him again, do not ask him to exercise free will? They see what is it?

So you might think, but the "The Adjustment Bureau," reveals the hidden layer of reality, that players will be able to be a Yankees game. David has run into deep space industry and warned that if is correct, his memory is erased. This state is reached through the door in a place that is not a logical possibility exists, it is like outside of the bedroom Jupiter, "2001", which had invited more intelligence to give the illusion of a family space without knowing the 'argument.

The plot develops a game of cat and mouse of the mind, where David and Elise, in love and feel as if they referred to each other, trying to outwit and elude men's suits and hats. This is fun, and Matt Damon and Emily Blunt is easy to report, does not seem as absurd as it is. Beneath his apparent level of sci-fi, romantic comedy lurking.

If you're like me, think of the universe in this film runs exceptionally inefficient design. There is no room for the opportunity of predestination. If you have a plan, you can not afford DIY. And 'well-known science fiction precept, to warn if you travel back in time and as a step in the wrong insects, you can wipe out the future. The moment we meet a very, very serious senior named Thompson (Terence Stamp), we begin to suspect that his employer has delusions of grandeur.

Thompson gives the impression that it is firmly under control and knows all the right buttons to push, but his problem is that David and Elise are seen behind the curtain and they do not need tools to plan. It 'also intriguing possibility that some self-direction times the freedom of choice.

"The Adjustment Bureau" is an intelligent and good film that could have been great if it had a bit more daring. I suspect the filmmakers were reluctant to take the consequences for a long time. What David and Elise mean by their adventures, I think, is that we are all in this together and we're all on our own. If you follow this through, the consequences are dangerous to some, not all religions. In the short term, but the film is a fun sorta comforting.

Your Highness (2011) review

2011-08-17T08:18:00.001+07:00

If James Franco looked dazed and confused host the Academy Awards this year, it could have been just an overview of the stoner comedy.

But to see him cut his arm as he did in 127 hours, is preferable to sitting through this raunchfest wrong.

127 hours, which presents a considerable talents of Franco and resulted in an Oscar nomination for Best Actor, His Highness seems like a waste of time awesome actor.

Not that everything he does has to be Oscar-caliber. It was very funny that the weed whacker is often wasted in the Pineapple Express 2008. But this movie is so immature, you Pineapple Express, and even Harold and Kumar, sophisticated mind.

Franco Express co-star Danny McBride co-wrote and co-stars here. Although McBride had a lot of fun in 2006, few saw Foot Fist Way, amiable man or French or right Swagger McBride save this comedy childish shortcomings of the script.

Most of the laughs come courtesy of the number of characters, as dorky waiter Courtney (Rasmus Hardiker), and the page named Julie infidels (Toby Jones). Justin Theroux is so funny Leeza evil sorcerer.

Co-authors McBride and Ben Best seems to have never met a joke about male genitalia did not like. The black humor is interspersed with scenes of bloody action. Modern medieval distributed in this environment is good for a laugh occasionally.

Franco is a brave prince Fabious, courage, and much admired older brother, Prince slacker Supreme Thadeous (McBride). Thadeous not only live in the shadow of his brother, he basks in it. He rebelled against the heroic life of hunting and other dangerous creatures of the Cyclops, he hangs out with a wizard of high weeds and the company of ladies loose.

McBride plays a similar arrogance in almost every film, with traces of vulnerability. But its mix of debauchery and good for nothing good was not intimidated here. His writing is much less effective, with scenes that begin with promise, then Peter.

During the marriage and Princess of Fabious Belladonna (Zooey Deschanel), kidnaps the bride Leezar scary and creates havoc in the kingdom. The brothers set out to rescue the princess and take their revenge on which Leezar Theroux plays with wild enthusiasm.

In the middle of their search, they are joined by Isabel mysterious warrior (Natalie Portman) who is attracted Thadeous Royal. Portman performance is careful, almost worthy of an Oscar.

Trio of Heroes and fight monsters and riders double cross him much time to get the viewer's classic fun of a lot more fun Knights pictures: Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

It is hard not to want a troop of wild trot across the country applauding coconuts and cows jumping off walls of the fortress, when stuck with unfunny antics Dude, Where Your Highness.

One Day (2011) review

2011-08-16T21:32:00.000+07:00

July 15, the day in the life of Dex and Emma, who is remembered for more than twenty years. The idea of looking back on a day to two people is a sad fact. What can you learn more about two people and their feelings for each other, the trials and successes of life, not for one day a year? As a day to communicate with the viewer, much can be learned and investment in large letters obtained with these brief glimpses into their intimate moments.

Dexter (Jim Sturgess) and Emma (Anne Hathaway) has formally met the night of graduation. They met before, but never how to Dexter and his relentless time and often forgettable forgetting its existence. Emma has had a long crush Dexter, which shows the viewer from the start - although we know that the concern of your body language and anxious expression. But Emma Dexter and become lovers during their first night, July 15, 1988. Instead, they fall asleep in the arms of others with the promise that he will spend the day together as friends. Flash Forward to July 15, 1989, and Emma Dexter and exactly what they said they would be among friends. Emma moved to an apartment in London and is about to embark on a journey to India.

Their friendship has evolved into one of the lucky one with close to another, and is the opposite of most people, it is appropriate for them to believe they will almost always, and should simply be friends.

As the years pass, and their time together, or just on the phone with each other, each July 15 for the truth quickly becomes clear that these two are meant to be more than friends. It's getting there that makes one day a dull romantic drama full of ups and downs in life, and friendship. We see Dex yield to his spoiled ways to live as a guest unpleasant late-night TV with alcohol and drugs. A very selfish existence Dex is created, with the only stable thing in his life, and that it uses is Emma. As for Emma, she finds her dream of becoming a writer lost. Its financial obligations force them to be a waitress, and when unfortunate happens when he was offered the post of leader - as she bluntly states Dex, "they said they wanted someone who was not going anywhere." As Dex live life large, slow downward trend, Emma eventually finds himself as a teacher and a published author one day.

Bad Teacher (2011) review

2011-08-16T19:17:00.000+07:00

After the advertising campaign of a gravel look very effective, one could be forgiven for thinking that the ''bad'' in "Bad Teacher" refers to a public-school educator who fools around with her students. Many teens may be open on weekends in the hope of seeing Cameron Diaz to power his hot teacher fantasy. But - sorry, guys! - Not that the film is about. Make no mistake: Diaz Elizabeth Halsey is bad - it's an intriguing cored, very selfish and manipulative. The only reason is a professor at John Adams Middle School because her boyfriend left him for being a gold digger, and she has to sustain itself. Its sole purpose in life is the land of 10 000 dollars for breast augmentation surgery.

To spend the day, she babysit his students of the seventh teacher showing movies like Stand and Deliver, she smokes marijuana and lies through her lips more red, it is racist insults (''That's why the Japanese is exceeded! os''hun exclaimed, reading the newspapers of his students) and she flirts like a paid escort with sexy-nerd substitute Mr. Delacorte (Justin Timberlake) - but only because he is the heir custody of a fortune of the company. The joke's basic bad teacher, as director Jake Kasdan hits again and again is that Elizabeth is the character most dislike of the year. Diaz, up in the fat, is definitely the persuading strident angry, but there is not much spark in his performance, and there is so little bounce - or real shock - for the film overly controlled how we be rude! dark comedy that the audience is left stranded. We are not next to Elizabeth, or anyone else, really.

We are watching a movie trying misanthropic point dulled distributed''.''

Think music video in shorthand Kasdan obsolete trot out Diaz in Daisy Dukes in en''liderlige''bil washing stage and get his players to coat each other with invective. Timberlake has enough sincerity to make you want banal allowed him a second note, and Jason Segel as a romantic Phys-ed instructor at the sweetness of whipped dog. The actor was one I liked Lucy Punch as Elizabeth is the enemy of the good teacher. Hiring a physical similarity with Lady Gaga (more angelic and less far-fetched), it transforms the Goody Two Shoes-Girl world's most self-Valley updated. Even when it is atrocious, you like it.

30 Minutes or Less (2011) review

2011-08-16T18:49:00.000+07:00

Nick (Jesse Eisenberg, type cast as the troubled white guy) hates her job of driving like a maniac when it tries to deliver pizzas in an incredibly tight "30 minutes or less" time. It does not get much sympathy by the best friend Chet (Aziz Ansari), who seems to understand that Nick is the loser lifestyle makes his own modest results look up in comparison. Amigos go as they have little in common except that the best years of their lives behind them and the next 24 hours is to get a lot worse.

Around the city, just bad friends of Dwayne (Danny McBride) and Travis (Nick Swardson) hatched a comprehensive scheme which involves the removal of a pizza boy strapping an explosive vest to his chest and ordered him to stealing $ 100 000. Not since "Fargo" has a plan to get rich quick spiral so disastrously out of control so quickly, but only to the difference in this film (with its false "true story" claims) "minor" was clearly inspired stranger than the fictional case of Brian Wells, who tried to rob a bank while wearing a collar bomb (and died after explosive devices).

Sticking to the comic absurdity of the situation, the first time, author Michael Diliberti police background preposterously later revealed as part of the basis for the screenplay: Dwayne allows an exotic dancer (Bianca Kajlich) to speak with him, ordering the blow of his father (Fred Ward), but before he could get his hands on the old man's inheritance, he needs to raise enough money to pay the murderess (Michael Pena). Instead, to reveal himself, he decides to use the driver unfortunate pizza.

Torsion details irreverent comedy, as in bad taste John Waters could enthusiast, PIC still lacks the flair for the wicked as anarchic satire "Serial Mom" and "Cecil B. Demented." Instead of "Less" is more like a watered down and simplified "Pineapple Express" with double the film BRIO McBride. Fortunately, pointing to a brief 83 minutes, ad libbing PIC spares us endless, but is not as tight as its title suggests.

Nick Dwayne gives you 10 hours to reverse the bank - a long time to recruit his friend steal India Datsun strident actions of a neighbor and all necessary supplies (one of the funniest scenes is to try not to draw suspicion while purchase plastic guns, balaclavas and several shots of energy 5 hours). The flight proved an unexpected bonding experience for the duo, who were uncomfortable conditions in the afternoon after the twin sister of Nick confessed deflowering Chet (Dilshad Vadsaria).

It's just good to objectify women in this comedy of testosterone strangled, Nick and Dwayne try to find some buried feelings they have for their respective buttons Guy. If your shouty antics were not shredded, Ansari might actually come off as endearing, refusing to abandon their bombs strapped friend. Moreover, even without his usual routine McBride mule clown white-trash at bay, he played to such a degree AUDS can not help but sympathize with the put-upon accomplice Swardson. Peña is a scene stealer, with an unfortunate stereotype of Latin and a touch of Jack Sparrow-like eccentricity, while the "Greek" is a convincing double Vadsaria Ansari, of course, have inherited genes, but not enough of funny.

There are a group of fun spending time, giving you half hope that the vest was just going to explode now. Photo anyway injuries are not permanent, as evidenced by a sketch of extra fun that awaits those who sit on the end credits.

Fleischer has changed since DP "Zombieland," writing "Hot Fuzz" Lenser Jess Hall for the job. As the movie "Less" is difficult to frame simple action, producing awkward car chase that put the burden of generating enthusiasm for the music and publishing. As a result, pic looks cheap and feels cut off - an option that can not be entirely accidental, given the horrors of Michigan unscenic against which the film takes place.

Griff the Invisible (2010) review

2011-08-16T17:50:00.001+07:00

A man is another man's eccentric maniac, "Griff the Invisible" explores how these differing perceptions that promote the human condition. The film has a heart, and whimsy (rare in Australian cinema), with a playful tone that does not try to convince us through the natural open we see in real life. And 'some' as a symbol, he said with irony. You buy it or not. I buy.

Griff (Kwanten) is the day in the office, where the goal is a timid office bully fun. But at night, is in its super-suburban belt, suitably equipped with a superhero wardrobe and ready to fight the dark forces road.

Increasingly concerned about the eccentric behavior Griff, his brother, Tim (Patrick Brammall) tries to convince him not to ... Well, as normal as everyone else. But when the new date soon Tim, Melody (Dermody) meets Griff, he is immediately fascinated by the idiosyncrasies Griff. A man after my heart just vicious, Melody starts fall to Griff.

Kwanten Griff is a complex character is hidden inside the shell of his invisible, in his yellow rain jacket with a symbol of the inner eccentric want to get away from it. It is a very sensitive description, it will take almost a childish and naive young man was tortured. Dermody is a sympathetic and convincing as his soul mate in the waiting room, a girl who is a misfit as he is, but that is recognized and accepted as live. And so it is Griff.

The opening sequence establishes Griff as the vision of the world around him is part of a reality. This cleverly tools for performance and direction.

In a film that is built with nuance and detail, the film production team (led by the producer Nicole O'Donohue and crowded with female heads of department) delivered beautifully, Karen Johnson Editing, production and beautiful Sophie Nash , music, multi-September Cato Lee Devaney and Larissa rate all play an important role. Simon Chapman's cinematography is also remarkable.

Leon Ford's debut feature film suggests talent to spare. The apparent magnitude of the film is low, but the underlying exploration of human nature are profound and universal. Griff and melody make a conscious decision to live the way they are both courageous and honest. We can all learn from these two, not to copy them but to imitate their courage. Ford says here that happiness in life comes not from the line, but honesty.

Especially if it's a funny movie, with moments of frenzy and some notes below the dark land of movie theme "be yourself" - no matter what. With a healthy and friendly, Griff the Invisible is a curiosity, but nice. Ford does what it aims to give us a new study on the importance of the dimensions innocence, imagination and childhood.

There are probably a little Griff and Melody in all of us, the aspect that will react to these characters, and barracks for them to negotiate the pavements gray life. As the games we played as children, in a gray sidewalk could easily be the battleground for the forces of good and evil, with us as the hero comes to save the situation.

There is romance in your film - in the true sense of romance - that gives this romantic comedy with a magical sensibility, driven by performance.

Glee: The 3D Concert Movie (2011) review

2011-08-15T23:52:00.000+07:00

This is good news if you are a member of the nation Gleek.

Another issue is if you do not know who is singing. Or what inspired the songs. Or how the program has become the emblem of marginalized youth. Not much to ask - even Justin Bieber Never say never touched the boy's debut YouTube.

In this quick tour, no place for the context in which twentysomethings running stage bands songs like Do not Stop Believin 'parents and fat-Bottomed Girls songs can stand up and children can listen, because the beautiful people singing.

About the film

Gleek and the nation is on full display. Parents dance in the stands more than their children. Ordinary children are not identified, but they are cited on how you see TV show gave them the strength to come out, be themselves and meet the family.

Even a movie together, there are some missteps. As it did on the show, Artie (played by Kevin McHale) left his wheelchair in a dream sequence. It's amazing on stage, especially as "breaks" the safety dance. Favorite joy and Will (Matthew Morrison) and Emma (Jayma Mays), not in the film, but making a cameo star (Gwyneth Paltrow)?

A film ever and there was less need for other 3-D to raise prices.

But the branch of the film, Glee deliver the goods to the faithful. Not all the summer movies may require the same.

The Help (2011) review

2011-08-15T21:45:00.000+07:00

Moving human story full of humor and heartbreak is rare in any movie season, especially during the summer. This makes an inspiring gift of help. It could have been a disaster. Debut novel by Kathryn Stockett has irritated some critics. Stockett poison, a white woman in Jackson, Mississippi, thinking he could get into the head of the black waiter to serve the white population in the course of 1960 in advance. Dialect ("yes, ma'am", "Sho-Nuff", "the law have mercy") probably helped more than 60 Stockett waste from literary agents. But his book, published by Penguin in 2009, has touched the raw nerve, which led to bestsellerdom and Frank Stockett access by the way could never really understand how it feels to be a black woman in Mississippi the threshold the civil rights movement. "But we try to understand," Stockett wrote, "is vital to humanity."

Strong point. And the film version of the aid, directed and written - on request Stockett - for the relatively inexperienced Taylor Tate (her friend from Jackson), does full justice to this intention. Short on technique and flashy style, the film compensates Help with real emotional force.

The actors are sublime. Start with the genius of Viola Davis (Doubt) as Aibileen Clark, the housekeeper who helped raise 17 white children to different families, but are still reeling from the accidental death of his only son. Aibileen bite his tongue when his employer (Ahna O'Reilly) ignores her daughter and own feelings when she is banished Aibileen out new bathroom. Best friend Aibileen Minoune Jackson (an award-caliber performance Octavia Spencer), is not one to remember. The secret ingredient she jumps into a pie for his racist boss (Bryce Dallas Howard, everything stops-out) earned its name as "terrible, terrible." Minoune The shot is required to take a job with a white trash Celia Foote, socially ostracized, which could have been a cliché bomb with glowing Jessica Chastain (The Tree of Life) has no game with such warmth and feeling.

Movies catalyst, Eugenia "Skeeter" Phelan (Emma Stone), a recent graduate of Ole Miss wants to spark a career as a journalist getting Aibileen Minny and have confidence in them feelings of working white families in a changing South. Skeeter is a difficult part - get a white girl in bondage black femininity - but Stone, exceptional talent, is so delicately that effectively demonstrate Skeeter naive. Skeeter made first to get rid of bigotry codes are transferred from generation to generation, like his mother (Allison Janney), Skeeter, and his card-dealing, role-playing friends. Help me to try to understand all. It is an intimate epic, not a historian. And history is eloquently written on his face, Spencer Davis, and speaks to the heart.

X-Men: First Class (2011) review

2011-08-15T15:57:00.000+07:00

Judge, "X-Men: First Class" is not the color of the mutants', but its sign content.

In the long-awaited prequel to the film adaptation of Matthew Vaughn of the iconic Stan Lee comics, although the foreign genetic outliers to disarm future human weaknesses, quirks and admirable qualities. Charles Xavier, whose graceful personality was channeled by Father Patrick Stewart in the previous "X-Men" movies, seems to have been a bit of Lothar Carnaby Street back in the Swingin 'London of the 1960s. Raven, also known as Mystique, was once a teenage girl with skin that tends to come out (although blue scales). And who knew Magneto - Xavier Nemesis - might be worth not only understand, but sympathy?

In fact, the "X-Men" fans will probably know all this, and what are the best "First Class", which begins, as the comics themselves in 1944. Then a German boy named Erik Lehnsherr watch dragged her parents to Auschwitz. The adaptation of fear and anger, metal door folds separates him from his family, commanding the attention of a young scientist eager to exploit the Erik telekinetic powers.

Twenty years later, grown by Erik (Michael Fassbender), contemplates revenge on the man who started to destroy his life, and who now goes by the name of Sebastian Shaw. At the same time, brilliantly Telepathic Xavier (James McAvoy) is to get a doctorate in genetic research in Oxford, his shape-shifting to a friend replace a sister, Raven (Jennifer Lawrence), at his side.

So what? Things happen, with "First Class" on a whirlwind tour of Las Vegas, Argentina, Russia, and finally the waters off Cuba in Miami, where - what do you know? - Shaw proves to be a cold shadow warrior. (This makes it suitable for a handyman is called primary ice queen Emma Frost, played by January Jones.) Obsessively pursues While Erik Shaw for their own purposes of revenge, Xavier meets a CIA agent called attractive MacTaggert Moira (Rose Byrne), who recruits him to recruit genetic mutants to help stop their bosses themselves Shaw.

This sequence of recruitment, of course, is one of the funniest parts of "First Class", with a special performance that will surely be considered the funniest movie (and profane) to go. Especially since this is an opportunity to see some other little-known X-Men in their younger incarnations, including Darwin (Edi Gathegi) Banshee (Caleb Landry Jones) and Angel (Zoe Kravitz), the Web as real tattoos grow wings This enables it to float rumors and ethereal as a dragonfly.

Its subtitle notwithstanding, even if the "First Class" is less of a mixed group of disaffected teenagers "Freaks" that Xavier is a discipline in the fight as some form of psycho-drama of her and Erik, whose experience during the Second World War made it more militant that the conciliatory, Xavier finds comfortable. By-any-means-necessary when it comes to separatist genetic identity, Erik does not trust the mainstream of society to grant full human rights of mutants. Xavier - whose telepathic powers are more extreme empathy as more supernatural gifts - believes that the adoption is not only possible but essential.

Everything would be a country of fancy hoo-ha, if it is not Vaughn was hired actors to bring characters to life: his thumb across her ready for the intense blue eyes, McAvoy rightly reflects thoughtful humanism Xavier. Lawrence, breakout star of last year's "Winter Bone" turns out to be lush and convincing evidence of the presence of the Raven / Mystique, develop a completely believable chemistry between the fresh face, Nicholas Hoult, as the CIA, a young scientist named Hank McCoy. (Jones, which is coated with an inert impassive at the same '60s-kitsch "Mad Men" here in the cold wearing boots-and-white bra fembot stone confident, in another example, a small perfect casting.)

Frankly, if "First Class" is an actor, and he is so Eric Fassbender / Magneto appears to be one of the most complex issue, really antiheroic protagonists in recent memory book comic film. As a transparent container and eminently watchable contradictory impulses - the vulnerability and superhuman strength, retaliation and destruction, discipline and relentless fury - Magneto Fassbender is not unlike Bobby Sands, IRA activist, he is depicted in the 2008 film of his play-to-last set "hunger." When Magneto raises alone, a submarine off the deep water by the force of his will, is one of the rare cases where an authentic display performance is not drowned by the sheer spectacle.

For most, it is true for the rest of "First Class" that fits between the localities and languages with sometimes confusing, speed dispersion. However, "First Class" happily delivers on evasion and rich narrative structure the best of his predecessors have promised. With the emotions of action, atmosphere and mixed with burning (not to mention a few jokes about shaving the head Xavier), it works well on its way to give well-made "X-Men" franchise a breath renewal of superior genetics, nuclear-powered lives.

Review : Green Lantern (2011)

2011-08-15T15:39:00.000+07:00

"Green Lantern" is both on the wall and out of this world - literally. More space opera sci-fi epic hero, it works in fits and starts, as its various parts in and out of efficiency, but professionalism in the production, it is watchable in a sort of cartoon of the way .

Wacky premise of the film comes from the resumption of the 1959 book on the book that launched the idea of a huge legion of intergalactic powerful green lanterns, each with his lantern very clean - the lava lamp of high quality - and each one be the protector of a corner of the universe.

But if the lights and matching rings powerful have existed for millions of years, a member of the human race has never been elected to join the body. And when the test pilot Hal champion "Call Me Irresponsible" Jordan gets the green light, there are many scratches head both on Earth and elsewhere.

It reflects the answer to Hollywood, where charming leading man Ryan Reynolds has been tapped for the role. How could he look in the computer-generated, uniform conical lantern, and it would take Gravitas Parallax fear evilest device that has ever lived?

As a result, Reynolds can handle most of what the script Greg Berlanti and Michael Green and Marc Guggenheim and Michael Goldenberg attacks him. The problem is that not all of these things are worth.

Not surprisingly, Reynolds is the goal of early Hal Jordan. Pilot arrogant but charming for aircraft Ferris - who cares about the beautiful relationship with Carol Ferris old flame (a measure of Blake Lively) - is so indifferent, falls asleep on the morning of his biggest robbery.

Thanks also effective for the purposes of Grant Major and visual staging, I have tried to develop the 2-D, are the views first film on the planet Oa, the port of lanterns and the instructor. Would be more of dirt, the Guardians of the Universe, who first figured out how to harness the power that excites the Lanterns, the power comes from. (Was Leni Riefenstahl did not finish first, "Triumph of the Will" would have done a heck of a subtitle here.)

The fact that OA Lantern Abin Sur (Temuera Morrison) leaves to fight Parallax. Things do not work properly, and then fall to earth, his ring, which always chooses who goes to the next elected Hal. No one is more surprised than the man himself to be suddenly reciting sacred oath ("Those who worship evil beware the power of my power - Green Lantern lights") that sounds like he could come back, and a box of cereal.

"Green Lantern is the" biggest problem, has never completely overcome, that there is a serious change in the tonal range of an angry Hal Jordan, the opening sections and the savior of the universe in the final dead serious. The film tries to bridge this gap with extra characters and drawing visitors, such as nasty with other parts of the lanterns, which tend to show 'Star Wars' Mos Eisley Cantina refugees, but does not help.

Even if he has nothing but play, star Reynolds is not the best one of these points, which among other things, you learn to control the ring of the ability to create anything his mind can imagine. Michael Fassbender from Magneto in "X-Men: First Class" has set the bar pretty high in the summer, superhero, ambivalence, and Reynolds remains inevitable.

"Green Lantern" has the advantage, good enemies, by Parallax, an amorphous blob of injustice without end that terrorism thrives, and look for the yellow color (if you know) fear.

The man on Earth is an evil scientist, Hector Hammond, played by Peter Sarsgaard. Parallax touch turns into a sort of creepy Quasimodo with Beady yellow eyes and a huge head deformed sow destruction wherever he goes. Always adventurous, compelling actor, Sarsgaard are right for this role.

As the ups and downs, "Green Lantern" is lucky to have Martin Campbell ("Mask of Zorro," "Casino Royale"), director. Although this is not the best time Campbell has a lot of skill to projects so far-fetched. When you are working (the clip is shown during the credits), the time it is hoped the game UPS Next.

Review : Inception (2010)

2011-08-15T15:23:00.000+07:00

Dreaming is life's great solitary adventure. What pleasures and terrors of dream state offers only the experience or not.

But what if other people could literally invade our dreams, that if a technology existed intruders is to create and manipulate life of sleep in order to steal our secret thoughts, or more worryingly, the implementation of ideas the deeper subconscious states and make us think they are ours?

Welcome to the world "Inception," written and directed by Christopher Nolan teacher, a science fiction thriller that is tremendously exciting as disturbing as it sounds. It is a popular entertainment with a KO blow so intense and bewildering worry if it is safe to close their eyes during the night.

Developed with the idea when he was 16, Nolan wrote the first draft of "Inception" eight years ago, and pending its success with "Batman Begins" and "The Dark Knight", not mention the old "Memento," allowed him to cast Leonardo DiCaprio and six other Oscar-nominated actors and spend a reported $ 160 million in a very daring.

For "Inception" is not just a dream state, is often a big screen, so dream, which means that it is a gift it is easier to follow than to explain. Special Features plot can be difficult to determine, especially at first, and guess what the weather is going to happen, or even if the characters in a dream or in reality, it is not always possible. But even if the literal understanding of tantilizingly can remain out of reach, always intuitively understand what is happening and why.

To help this understanding, and one of the most satisfactory film is rooted in the old-fashioned entertainment genre, but the kind Amped chain speed. In addition to his theme of science fiction, "Inception" also has a strong band of film noir, easily recognizable items such as femme fatale, love and doomed protagonist's fateful decision to undertake "one last job."

This would be DiCaprio Dom Cobb, a thief who specializes in so-called extraction, taking the secrets of the unconscious. With the help of Arthur (a fine of Joseph Gordon-Levitt), the trust of employees, which is involved as a mechanic, Cobb is inserted into the middle of a dream in which Saito (Ken Watanabe), a wealthy businessman Japanese.

This is a final blow was proposed earlier by Saito, who asked Cobb if he is able also to its creation, planting ideas, believe that many of them move can not be done. Cobb promises Saito, who has a past that prevents him from returning to their children in the United States, the only thing I can not resist. If you take this last task, if the practice agrees to the creation of Robert Fischer (Cillian Murphy), heir to an empire of billions of dollars of energy, be able to return home.

In fashion, films true, Cobb is to assemble a team to do the job. In addition to Arthur, he needs to Eames, the forger (Tom Hardy), talent appearing in the dreams of people, and Yusuf, a chemist (Dileep Rao), which makes the compounds that has less. And with the support of his father-in-law Miles (Michael Caine), will meet Ariadne.

The name of the mythological figure who helped Theseus find his way out of the labyrinth of the Minotaur, Ariadne is a young architect who is required to create landscapes in which dreams occur unconscious. Played by Ellen Page, clearly expressed in his youth, intelligence and seriousness of Ariadne is the last essential element of the team.

Also, do not know what they find in the dream of Fischer (believe me, there's a lot of things), Cobb and his team are struggling with a wild card: Mal, untrustworthy femme fatale, a woman deep and complex ties to the past Cobb, and someone who is specialized in finding his way dreams, that he did not want.

The selection of Oscar-winning French actress Marion Cotillard as Mal typical support that Nolan has taken to launch these roles thriller for emotional attachment, a trait that pays off in the scenes she shares with DiCaprio. Beyond Batman impeccably professional veterans Caine and Murphy, the film is also about money with small roles, including Pete Postlethwaite as Father Fischer tycoon ill and Tom Berenger as an assistant principal.

Because of all these different elements successfully combine knowledge of Nolan details to achieve its objectives skill. Filmmaker as he makes his second commitment to the management unit, Nolan is one of the few, to quote F. Scott Fitzgerald's Monroe Stahr on film mogul in "The Last Tycoon", "will be able to keep the whole equation of pictures in their heads."

Final Destination 5 (2011) review

2011-08-15T01:09:00.000+07:00

Death can not be mistaken, as so miraculous escape after eight people in a disaster suspension bridge ... things start to happen. These things happen? Oh, they are bad, but not just bad. They are complete and destruction, disturbing and very funny, if the public ends up laughing, crying and gasping at the same time. It's a healthy fear ridicule people do and you will make about 10 ten times even if you're going to see "Final Destination 5."

What else can I say? Wait, let me see my notes. "Great when the car lands on her head." In fact, yes, it was one of many highlights when the car lands on the head of a woman. Not good for the car, not a good woman, do not try this at home.

How strange is this. "Final Destination 5" is irresistible, and the reason is irresistible, who speaks in a language that everyone understands what is fear. If eternal beings came to earth to watch "Final Destination 5", who see the document curious. Only if you looked at the man who would be transferred to the general public, and only to the general public, because people go crazy for it. This is a comedy about death.

The film makes the public and all-knowing way, and still raises their vulnerability, forcing them to see danger in everything. It's funny and terrifying, the most obvious junk, yet so effective that it makes no sense to talk to her.

The formula - it is not broke, why fix it? - Is now well known. A group of young sheep on a transport vehicle, in this case a bus for an employee pension. Everything seems to go regularly, and Sam (Nicholas D'Agosto) notes that bridge, they started to collapse, which is not a good thing. He fled the bus and other effects, and over the next five minutes, we are treated to a spectacular disaster, with cars overturned in the sea and the individual characters being killed in a horrible and spectacular .

But wait. It was only a vision, a premonition of the future. Now, with a warning 30 seconds to a minute, Sam gets up and brings some of the buses, but this time in reality. That means that we will see the collapse of the new bridge - how to live differently. And we have a group of survivors, each of which are available to be killed again. You see, it is assumed that this bridge, and if it's just a matter of time before ... Death is updated.

The rest is a game between the film and the public. The film tells us that he killed himself, in what order. In a sense, the filmmakers link one hand behind his back and said, "We will surprise every second now. You do not know when or how." The scene in which a young gymnast goes through a routine is a good example of successful comic suspense. The film establishes a number of ways you could be killed or even shock. As the fifth installment of "Final Destination", this means that people or people become filthy rich from this, but fair. inventions like the phonograph and light bulb are much easier to follow, but there is a place for the humble creations, like Frappuccino and "Final Destination" series, which do absolutely nothing except lighten the day.

Blitz (2011) review

2011-08-14T12:05:00.000+07:00

The omens are not good. A Starr Jason Statham Blitz right do not expect another of his full of explosives, the concept down, punch-up flicks interrupted by a gross story from the man himself. But these expectations are confused by the real device - a film that veers between crime exciting and fun with narrative echoes of the cracker and top television series of tonal nuances jaded one-liners that kept up to Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.

Complete the rude behavior Statham places, and so far, too little comic timing and un-PC Detective Brant in this adaptation of Ken Bruen's novel is. First I meet him in the opening scene, born of his booze soaked win a bunch of wannabe theft. Brant guarded by a muscular character will soon be vacated at the COP-killer, played with superb animal strength Aidan Gillen, who copied it, "Blitz", and the tips dodgy tabloid trick Dunlop Harold (David Morrissey) of its intentions. Brant initially uneasy union of gay police chief Porter Nash - plays an understated but impressive Paddy Considine - to continue the murderess before it can cause more damage to the force. A rare film actor Mark Rylance alternately hailed as a leader Brant, mourning is the icing on the cake.

What follows is far from sweet, but violence is particularly nasty and explicit. Frequent flashes of humor are, fortunately, make sure that the film is too dark to digest. Statham delivers the line "Do I look like I carry a pencil?" a smarmy police psychologist is particularly evident with comic references to Michael Jackson and Lee loved Diff'rent Strokes The 80 comedy. Address pace by Elliott Lester, an exciting chase sequence and a soundtrack exciting are also important ingredients in the success of the bombing.

However, if we dive below the surface defects can find many. With the exception of the relationship that develops between Brant and Nash credible, a lot of character development is very basic and numbers. Journalist David Morrissey suffers from this, a little more than a caricature, while Ashton Zawe work hard to instill suspicion of money convincing realism that affect their WPC morally conflicted. There are also caves in the later plot (plot holes do not do it justice) that will leave you puzzled for hours, you should try to analyze some of the sequences surrounding the facts. Fortunately, these flaws are not enough to overshadow the many positive points.

Packing a lot of laughs as a comedy media blitz is a surprisingly effective thriller that manages to exploit the strengths of Jason Statham. Blending style, grit and amazing spirit, is largely a company practice that leaves you longing for the future adventures of Brant and Nash. Just try to spoil the fun thinking too much after the film.

A Separation (2011) review

2011-08-14T04:20:00.000+07:00

Asghar Farhadi’s A Separation is one of the finest Iranian dramas of all time. On the surface appears to be little more than a domestic drama, but the range of the complex reflected in his narrative increasingly detailed over time. Farhadi film is a detailed portrait of tortured humanistic religious beliefs, moral debts and irreducible blood ties.

The film begins with the breakdown of the marriage of Nader (Peyman Moaadi) and Simin (Leila Hatami). She is desperate to flee their homeland for a new beginning with her daughter. However, it is determined to remain the responsibility he feels for his Alzheimer affected parent is unable to care for himself.

Nader appoint a woman, Razieh (Sareh Bayat), which is the cure for his father, but when she disappears one day things, his father almost died. Angry, and convinced, too, that he stole from him, pushed her out of their apartment. Later, he learned that the process fell down the steps outside, to harm themselves. Moreover, to complicate things, it becomes clear that Razieh was really pregnant and lost the baby incident.

After police investigations are only the beginning of the moral implications of the actions of these people who are passionate and repairs that are trying to do, painfully intertwined. What emerges is a vision rich, moving and sometimes very disturbing in Iranian life. Separation (2011) is probably the highlight of the festival so far, a film that rings true in every scene and hypnotize you with their irresistible interactions, strong and brilliant performance in flames.

Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011) review

2011-08-13T17:25:00.000+07:00

"Rise of the Planet of the Apes" is the correct one. Smart, funny and very nice, and a different model for summer entertaining without offending your intelligence. Skillfully blending the latest technology in an old story elements, is also the origin of the story, which answers the question, which was suspended in the air since 1968: how it was that regulates the monkeys?

That year, starring Charlton Heston, "Planet of the Apes" (based on the novel by Pierre Boulle), postulated a world in which the monkeys were responsible and the people were in cages. The film was popular enough to spawn four follow-ups, and directed by Tim Burton's remake, but this latest project, which reveals how it all started to go wrong for us and good for them, things will take a whole new level different.

"Rise of the Planet of the Apes" is as good as it is partly because it is strong in these areas, all movies, not just the summer blockbuster should have. It's actually written by the team of Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver, well done both with stars like James Franco and John Lithgow and support players who protean Brian Cox.

There are Caesar's, the godfather of all future apedom, we are in first place, but his mother, Bright Eyes. Is captured in a jungle full and returned to San Francisco to be part of an ongoing experiment given by a scientist (an appropriately serious Franco) used by the pharmaceutical company Gen-Sys.

I would Rodman, who worked for 51 / 2 years in a drug that allow brain cells to repair themselves and be a cure for Alzheimer's disease. When serum Finally, ALZ-112, provides a striking improvement in cognitive abilities of Bright Eyes', Will can barely contain his excitement.

But before the test can begin crucial human, something unfortunate happens, and the project is abandoned, which is especially hard on the will, because his father (Lithgow) has dementia and to go from bad to worse.

Circumstances conspire, as they tend to do in movies like this, to ensure that Caesar's son Will Spirits Bright Eyes "from the laboratory and raised at home. He can not resist putting the hand ALZ-112 enough to start injecting chimpanzees and her father. The results are remarkable at first, but unlike the people on screen (including Frieda Pinto is a veterinarian comely and abuse of monkeys Cox ') in the public, we know that renewable playing with fire.

British director Rupert Wyatt previous function has been the great drama of the jail-break "The Escapist", but it proved a wise choice to make a film about an entire species to be free from restraint eons, one who understands some of the most powerful species and nature of conflicts since Alfred Hitchcock "The Birds".

A director who knows how to bring the drive and momentum to the material he associates with, Wyatt is working with editors, Conrad Buff, Mark Goldblatt (both veterans of several projects of James Cameron) to create a sense Crackerjack rhythm. And filmmaker Andrew Lesni who shot the "Lord of the Rings" films, the "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" an exciting big-screen feel, while many moments of bravura visual.

Lesnie film role was difficult to use large state-of-the-art computer technology, an exceptional combination of performance and motion capture to capture (and facial expressions), which makes the 150 or so digital has created a truly amazing monkeys.

Visual effects supervisor Joe Letteri (four times Oscar winner) and Dan Lemmon (both with New Zealand's Weta Digital) developed the technology used by the "Avatar" and it took another. For the first time we are told that the capture of performance was used in the direct sunlight in the real world rather than part of a soundstage.

All this technology is not as dazzling as it is without the work of the actors (some of Cirque du Soleil) using the motion capture suits, especially the redoubtable Andy Serkis, Gollum in "Lord of the Rings." Caesar is played, which passes a hug "Project Nim" type chimpanzee-than-must-be-obeyed.

All visual razzmatazz, which contains exciting episodes filmed on the football field-sized copy of the Golden Gate Bridge built outside of Vancouver, "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" can be subtle as well, including a small visual reference to the movie 1968, that goes unnoticed by those who have not seen the original.

Cunning is a code word when it comes to expressions of the Emperor and other primates, a group that includes orangutans named Maurice (Karin Konoval), a working knowledge of sign language allows the public to have the mind of Caesar in the Window two messages.

Caesar's facial expressions, which include disturbing the look of cold calculation, which is the highlight of the film's trailer, the following is the key to the complex and contradictory that chimpanzees were very special mood.

The Smurfs (2011) review

2011-08-13T09:52:00.000+07:00

Neil Patrick Harris smurf accounts like everyone else. Or maybe you have to pay the Smurfs.

Who Knows? At the end of the inevitable "The Smurfs" movie, when the linguistic oddities in the little blue sprite a level similar to Yoda inconsistency.

But once you are trying to combine the Smurfs, there is a better film than anyone could have anticipated, largely due to an honest effort to Harris in a thankless role.

For those who have seen the ads, even passable on the big screen "The Smurfs" seems like a miracle, trailer makes it look like a long coil of torture and sexual innuendo little blue Smurfs. However, it is the rare film in the worst parts are in promotions. Parents who drew the short straw will be happy to know that the film is not a god awful. It is refreshing poor. Add this review on the DVD cover.

"The Smurfs" begins in a village, a live action version of the psychedelic aspect of the world of comics and cartoons in the morning. A vortex is based animated Smurf Papa, Smurf Smurfette awkward, and the other in Central Park, and meet the marketing for Patrick Winslow (Harris), the remains of his home destroyed - and keep - your career and get chased by the forces of evil, for reasons never completely meaningless. Yes, it's like an "Alvin and the Chipmunks" movie.

A proposal for accompanying adults find excuses to leave (plus power meter popcorn, a game bird in anger in the hall ...) at any time, the sorcerer Gargamel intriguing comes to the screen. Hidden beneath the prosthetic make up for his Hank Azaria and the lack of offensive lines by exaggerating good.

"The Smurfs" will be better there. There is a spirit sporadic - the voiceover done by Smurf Narrator, and the jokes are plentiful on the 99-1 male / female ratio in Smurfland. The authors make a nice little reference Peyo, Belgian artist who created "The Smurfs" in 1950.

And Harris, of the law against most of marshmallow peep-size animated creations is convincing and sympathetic at all times. No doubt Harris will laugh their participation in this movie the next time hosts a ceremony, but do not be fooled. It takes a good actor to save a bad movie.

"The Smurfs" is not terrible, but language experts may disagree. For example, when a character says he's "Smurf creek without a paddle," the word "smurf" is either an adjective or a proper name. At other times, "Smurf" is a verb. One can only hope William Safire, Smurf presents for the future.

Cowboys & Aliens (2011) review

2011-08-13T09:39:00.000+07:00

As an exercise in chocolate-in-my-peanut butter mash-ups, the concept of the struggle against foreign Cowboys joined the cars that transform into robots and snakes on the plane or not the best idea lo- bad-is-good kitsch.

"Cowboys & Aliens," an inspired adaptation of Jon Favreau's comic book of the same name, Reese could learn a few things about how you do it right. A return of love for the classic Western and science fiction, rails, this celebration of two of the most admired kind of film does not spare the squandering of their most cherished conventions impartial love and respect. Whether the solitary horseback in a desert, a dusty town or E.T is squishier, scary brother down a giant spaceship, "Cowboys & Aliens" are both natives quite right.

Favreau, of course, has found a pretty good solitaire. Daniel Craig stars as Jake Lonergan, who as the film opens he wakes up alone in the desert with a mysterious injury and a heavy metal bracelet around his wrist. When you ride the acquittal in the vicinity, its presence can go, crush down with a bully named Percy Dolarhyde (Paul Dano), whose father, Woodrow (Harrison Ford), owns a huge cattle ranches in the vicinity . When strange lights appear in the sky, and some city dwellers are drawn vehicles hovering in the head, taciturn, misanthropic and Lonergan crustily Woodrow Dolarhyde join forces to track down the bandits and interstellar bring people home. Eventually, they joined some local communities in search of the Apache tribes of the people, the Alliance even more subversive that the concept of outer space to the territory of New Mexico around 1875.

They are also helped by a beautiful woman named Ella Swenson, played by the lovely Olivia Wilde with the same professionalism supported all the other brings to society. (Terrific support players include Dano, Sam Rockwell as the owner sedan town and Keith Carradine as sheriff.) With a concept so ripe for overkill and excess, "Cowboys & Aliens" preserves the history and remarkable visual approach plain spoken and simple.

For most it is a western with lines of wild anachronism, an aesthetic clash Favreau (best known for his "Iron Man" movie), handles well. With the exception of slippery creatures of the lagoon intergalactic, who inexplicably invaded the 19 century, the Earth, most of the trappings of science fiction is not to see everything in its place, including that Lonergan is manacle s' fully enrolled in chains and handcuffs, he also occasionally performing, or the spaceship that looks like an outbreak, exotic carved Mesa.

There are moments of surprising, brutal violence, "Cowboys & Aliens," which made it really dark and scary monsters are not quite an easy job. Yet, when the wonderfully moody, but fit the Ford Indy stockings Craig is a jaw and Craig hits back harder, it feels like a stick before. ("Cowboys & Aliens" is produced by Steven Spielberg, who in this and the "Super 8" seems pleasingly low on the UN financial and diamonds-not-so-oblique homage to himself.)

Among the "Super 8", "X-Men" and "Captain America" of course "Cowboys & Aliens" at risk met with indifference by the end of the public. It may be two in one, but the crowd, who pigged out the whole show of the summer, which may be two is too much.

The Change Up (2011) review

2011-08-13T09:23:00.000+07:00

The change-up opens with a scene from the quake in the induction of Jason Bateman as a tormented father, receives a mouthful of shit changed a baby. After the diaper change, the film has nowhere to go but up.

Bateman's earlier summer comedy, Horrible Bosses, was more consistently funny, though he and Ryan Reynolds have a chemistry here that grows more pronounced as the movie progresses. Unfortunately, the gags quite pronounced, too.

Dave (Bateman) and Mitch (Reynolds) grew up together, but they took different paths. Dave is a workaholic lawyer with a prestigious law firm, and Mitch is a bad actor / pothead slacker. David is married to Jamie (Leslie Mann) and father of three children, Mitch is a teenager who invaded.

After a drunken night, they urinate in the fountain, the statue of a Greek goddess slurringly and declares: "I wish I had your life." Surprise! They get their wishes, and wake up one another's bodies. When the predictable jokes of their male anatomy different, the biggest problem is how to perform each other's life every day until you can turn the switcheroo. Think about the R-rated Freaky Friday with the guy.

The film attempts to reconcile the exaggerated body-switch formula hoarse with Judd Apatow-esque comedy, but not entirely successful. Reynolds and Bateman is much better than the material they have to work with.

The Change-Up would have been fired on all cylinders. Directed by David Dobkin helmed Wedding Crashers lot of fun and screenwriters Jon Lucas and Scott Moore wrote Hangover. What went wrong?

The authors rely too much bathroom humor. Mitch is too extreme, painted as the most irresponsible guys. But it is never explained why. He will not have a meal with his father (Alan Arkin), but we do not know what their history is back. It is hard to believe he would be so clueless and rude when he goes into the office of Dave. He feeds his pockets with free food and acts as a 12-year-old at a formal meeting. If a player in trouble, it would at least know how to act like a businessman.

Reynolds can do almost anything cute characters, and his Mitchell / Dave has some humorous moments. Yet it is hard to buy for their extreme personalities. And at the end of that character seems to have disappeared completely replaced by fax bland.

It 's funny to see Bateman, the man usually straight, let it go and play some wild uninhibited nature of his friend. Both arise charisma intact, an increase above the background corny message.

It is one of the most difficult tasks to a consistently funny comedy, but so much of the Change-Up feels lazy and familiar: a refrigerator full of moldy food Bachelor ago, unexpectedly crazy Booty Call, and an important presentation derailed causing officials to have failed, threatening to stomp off and cooking in a Huff.

Captain America: The First Avenger (2011) review

2011-08-12T21:00:00.000+07:00

Nobody makes a hero more sympathetic than a paltry 98 pounds. If intimidated, orphans and people with asthma - if beaten by shaking in the streets on a regular basis - why, very well. Behind the concave chest beats the heart of a lion.

Meet Steve Rogers (Chris Evans), stick figure, which will eliminate the war-time Nazi hunter sturdy frame "Captain America: The First Avenger:" Last summer, a long line of this film very muscular hero. What distinguishes the cap to his story of humble origins, which belongs neither gods nor hairy hot-dogging test pilots, but a Brooklyn boy who just wants to fight for freedom.

Steve has tried five times to enlist but was rejected each time. Then he called the attention of Dr. Abraham Erskine (Stanley Tucci). Erskine is a sweet German scientist, now working for the Americans, with a new super serum that can turn a weakling like Steve in a super-fast, super strong super-soldier. And that created Captain America. Having been abused by the government to sell war bonds and the star in the film of few words, go to the Cape nasty fight this particular film: Johann Schmidt (Hugo Weaving), a Nazi madman controlling a source of blue is terrifying power of the Norse Gods.

"Captain America" is used as an introduction to the energetic character and a wink merrily back to a simpler time. What is lacking in new ideas, enthusiasm makes up for in action and a potential role of a true star that is usual MO quippiness fraternity-boy.

Evans already germinated film in bulk to comic proportions. He needed CGI to shrink it, and the result is a strangely affecting vision: It looks like it dehydrated. Still skinny Steve is a naive and adorable little guy, long tolerate softness supersizing past.

You have to hand in Evans. You also have to hand it to director Joe Johnston - and writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely together to adapt the venerable comic books - to successfully exploit the table without embarrassment corniness begins to clog the old WWII movie player B. In addition to its (non-poor), 3-D conversion work, the film is a total setback. The unironic, gently joshing humor seems born of another age.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (2011) review

2011-08-12T20:46:00.000+07:00

After seven previous films dating back a decade, the Harry Potter arrives at a strong and successful "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Part 2" The end evokes the solemnity and fear enough to address a adequate and a final dramatic contrast to the luminosity (relative) innocence of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" magic many years ago.

Harry, Hermione and Ron are grown now, and Harry even more facial stubble requires all epic heroes. The time has come for him to face Lord Voldemort in the final confrontation, and conflict is in a range of special effects sequences with power and conviction. I'm still not sure what pins high for wands which consist of, but never mind. They look nasty and deadly.

I dare not reveal an essential detail of the story itself, lest they offend the wing of the police who were on my case lately. Besides, you never know. Maybe they have completely rewritten JK Rowling's latest book in the series. Perhaps Harry dies, Voldemort's victory and the kingdom of evil.

I can see is that the end of the film is a gathering of all kinds for many of the characters we've come to know through the years. So many British actors have played a role in the Potter films than those who have perhaps in fits and starts of resentment. Here we see again that the persons whose names were once new and now resonates with associations: Bellatrix Lestrange, Rubeus Hagrid, Dumbledore, Ollivander, Lucius Malfoy, Sirius Black, Severus Snape, Remus Lupin and Professor Minerva McGonagall so that is called to summon their powers and shield Hogwarts Voldemort.

You do not want to know what happens here at Hogwarts. Many of its bell tower is shining and noble Gothic arches are reduced to ruin and ash, resulting in an apocalyptic battle. The school also seems to have mysteriously moved next to the dizzy heights that allow huge drop in the roadway. There is no place in Britain to match the geography, but Hogwarts is so in the real Britain?

What is the occupation of the British imagination. Remained faithful to the original series by JK Rowling, and is opposed to the temptations of demeans, or to simplify the operation of its complexity. He created an imaginary world with its own logic and coherence, and here in the final, there is a certain satisfaction to see the threads linked, explained, and mysteries lingering suspicions were confirmed.

In a dream sequence, we have the opportunity to see the characters as they were at the beginning. They were so young. Extending something in real time, the story has grown older with. Daniel Radcliffe, who was born in 1989, was 11 when he played the first Harry Potter is 21 now, and he and Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) and Hermione Granger (Emma Watson) are, fortunately, have remained recognizable, and soldiered through what which is involved in a lot of hard work. Not many young actors have worked tirelessly for a decade.

However, it is evident again in this film than the three son are overshadowed by the secondary characters. Their role is to be courageous, brave and clean-cut. They sneak around and observe things. They listen. They speculate. They are taught to. They endure a little discreet puberty. Harry is struggling to control his magic. Meanwhile, British legends such as Maggie Smith, Helena Bonham Carter, Michael Gambon, Alan Rickman and Ralph Fiennes steal scenes just by standing there. What are the chances of Harry or someone smashed against the face of Voldemort with his nostril slits? Later in the movie, so nothing is left to chance, Voldemort himself considers his own fetus that looks like it was simmered in a red sauce.

Fiennes is Voldemort, who dominates this final installment, which illustrates the old axiom of the actor it is better to play the villain than hero. It requires a great villain to hold its own in crumbled ruins of Hogwarts, and forcing other students to choose between Harry and friends join him on the dark side. Given what happened at Hogwarts, it is hardly surprising that students were not sent home, but since Dumbledore had other things in mind.

This film is impressive staging, the dialogue becomes appropriate attention and not to hurry, there are surprises, which, in retrospect, seems pretty fair, and "Harry Potter" is now an end corresponding to the series's most profitable the history of cinema. These films will be around for a long time. And without breaking a single thing, let me just note that the last scene makes it clear an opening for a sequel. I know that Rowling said there will be no one. Just what I said. "

Crazy, Stupid, Love. (2011) review

2011-08-12T20:32:00.001+07:00

For an actor who tends to wrap lines in irony well cut, and from certain angles looks like Rowan Atkinson beautiful brother, Steve Carell an unexpected gift to play the honest men who just got hope from right under them. In the opening scene of the Crazy, Stupid, Love, professor of Cal Weaver (Carell), a fairly typical suburban Nice-Guy, dressed in wrinkled Dockers and sneakers worn, his wife, Emily (Julianne Moore) had an affair and plans to divorce. There was a time long ago when movies like Kramer against Kramer (1979) dealt head-on pain of broken marriages, and even crazy, stupid, love is nothing more (or less) light comedy that confusion charming and romantic it deep bone pain that led these films. It's a film that includes love, because he understands the pain.

Cal begins to drag in a local bar elegant collection, which, after more cranberry vodka, launches into monologues poured in self-pity, which are strong enough to gain the attention of Jacob Palmer (Ryan Gosling), a Lothario blonde hair in the ice and three-piece suits. In a mixture of pity and disgust (can not believe how pathetic is Cal), Jacob decided to give this loser a forty-year intensive course on how to be a bachelor again, that sounds like a very situation-ish movie, and - it, in fact, that Will Smith Hitch fed. But Crazy, Stupid, Love, even when off of a facility like this is a sweet spot observation - and a good eye for detail - which makes it fun for the study of contemporary behavior.

Carell delivers sadly funny and easy to live when a husband and father of three children who have lost any remnant of his alpha male instinct. When Gosling as Stud, a bar, Henry Higgins, Carell gets a makeover (his eyes and his personality), it does so with contempt for dry, which is drolly surgery. Cal must be an avid student of art rather depressing to manage his sexual jokes so science manipulative. Learn how to work for him, but it is only the first show of the film.

The film is also about Cal and Emily floppy-haired 13-year-old son, Robbie (Jonah Bobo), which is a frighteningly powerful crush on the family baby-sitter (Analeigh Tipton), who has a secret crush on his own. And 'Hannah (Emma Stone), a law student tries to drive his romantic life in a controlled his career, and what happens when he meets Jacob. This is Emily's relationship with pompous accountant (Kevin Bacon), who broke his marriage, throwing Cal with a moody teacher (Marisa Tomei), and feelings of the Emily Cal and more. Crazy, silly, Love is written by Dan Fogelman (which is coscripted animations, such as cars and the Bolt and Fred Claus), and directed the team, Glenn Ficarra and John Requa (I Love You Phillip Morris), and are happy to report that they did one of the best traditional adult movies this summer.

Tart, funny, sweet melancholy and rooted in experience, Crazy, Stupid, Love, is like a Woody Allen film Hannah and Her Sisters, if only he had hailed from the suburbs.

The picture is full of moments of taste, is that Jacob tells schlubby CAL''parempi Gap,''or Cal and Emily for connection to the parents 'and teachers' conference (a meeting of all but vibrates with the years have shared together), or Hannah, and Jacob's affects post-coital whispers, or big speech at the end of a romantic - a traditional time, of course, except that with hard work, the battle weary affection, Cal words left me in tears. One of the reasons the film, Cal is the decades-old line of Emily:''It 'the perfect combination of sexy and carina''Crazy, stupid, love is a perfect combination of sexy, cute, smart, fun, and true ..

Friends with Benefits (2011) review

2011-08-12T20:13:00.000+07:00

Last 45 years we have seen the gradual deterioration of traditional morality, in all the traditional rules of love and sex. At the same time, the demands of a romantic comedy has remained the same - to reinforce the love, so it's fun and keeps the public to believe. So, what if you want to do a romantic comedy now?

One way, the wrong way is to deny the obvious and obscure the truth, to rely on the Convention and to skate on the charm of two stars. This, fortunately, is exactly what "friends with benefits" does not work. Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis has charm to spare, but the film did not abuse its assets. Instead of giving them an honest history of working with, which recognizes that adults only challenge is the same as the challenge of romantic comedy - to get to love in a world without rules. In a jungle.

So it is a headhunter company. It is a transplant from Los Angeles, who came to New York a great job with quarterly master. And they respond professionally and in love. But they fear that a romantic involvement would destroy their budding friendship, and if they decide to have sex and keep emotions out of it. The configuration is something like "No Strings Attached," Ashton Kutcher a, Natalie Portman film earlier this year, but "Friends with benefits" takes things beyond the gimmick sex.

In fact, this film is the hardness and austerity strike some people as vulgar, but if you reject it on that basis you might as well reject the times you live in. Therefore, the first sex scene hits all good grades. He is rude, immoral and so mechanical that you wonder about these people. But if you pay attention, you will discover in their left hand of the report, and the basis of mutual attraction of an link.

Not long ago in the history of courtship, sex was the last frontier of proximity. Our grandparents did not arrive there too often in their lives dating, but when they did, they knew what they were. But the "Friends With Benefits," sex can mean anything, and all spoke the intimacy can be a trick, or product in the mood passes. Crudeness first sex scene is beautifully against each other a moment later, the two just a kiss, and understand the real exchange intimacy. MTV is an annual award for best kiss. This is a pioneer.

Of course, since it is a romantic comedy, we know from the beginning that go together. But for once, a romantic comedy gives his characters the dignity of knowing things that we do not know. They are adults, and therefore the scar and has every reason to avoid pain. The richness of the characters makes the story to develop in the sand and so nuanced.

Outweigh the "Friends with benefits" is that the change of manners, styles to change the rules change, and even changes of humor. (There are two jokes involving applications of all the things that are quite funny.) However, the emotional needs of people are the same from one period to the.

Between the lines, there is another suggestion, a brave one movie could have tried to deny a false feminist movement: the type of calming the situation described above - in which people try to have sex Sex without emotion - can not be good for anyone, but favors the male nature. In most cases, is likely to be worse for women.

As comedians, gives Kunis, full of inventions and emotionally present and Timberlake is a strong, precise, and slightly cool. We do believe that it would be good to each other, and they are. Two Member States can support, Patricia Clarkson as his free-spirited mother, his father and Richard Jenkins as a journalist.

But, of course, the final media is an intelligent script. In the "friends of the benefits," when the two argue, and one is wrong from the point of view this effort based on what is right. One frustrating thing in life, because it happens so often, but welcome to the movies, because it is so rare.

Horrible Bosses (2011) review

2011-08-12T10:48:00.000+07:00

There are few pleasures better suited to comedy middle of the film to see normal people supposed to behave terribly. And if they violate the characters are played by popular film stars, great. Everything is a bit cheeky little nicer, for example, Billy Bob Thornton in the title role in Bad Santa. For this gentle comedy sourball list, we can now add Horrible Bosses, a bouncy, well built, nice ugly tale of anger, despair and vengeance amoral for employer-employee relationship, as Danny DeVito and Bette Midler made for marriage in 1986 of a great comedy of the brothers Zucker ruthless people.

Each piece is a proven, HR violation of this horrible story of a hostile work environment directed (to a good speed honed from Office episodes, Modern Family and parks and recreational areas), Seth Gordon. Company director Nick (Jason Bateman, the sound of bitterness in the month of September) is a sadistic control freak (Kevin Spacey, in his own zone), an accountant / skirt brilliant hunter Bobby (Jason Sudeikis BN), to report corrupt , Coca-up party, Guy (Colin Farrell, exhilarating in its transformation implants), who runs family-owned land (and pollute the soil, it) and a dental assistant Dale (It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia Charlie days, shouting and squealing impressive) takes outsized sexual harassment in the dentist's (Jennifer Aniston, excited to talk dirty.)

What first set up as a joke between the three friends - why not kill each other's worst nightmare? - Slowly coagulate to a vague plan that snowballs into chaos concrete, leading to ... Well, that would be terrible. Simply put, these three middle-class white lily Hitmen novices make the mistake of seeking the advice of a gangsta looking black Scary Guy is said Mother ---- ER Jones and played with sly notes Jamie Foxx gives the tone for the Horrible Bosses. The film is equal parts scandal (Aniston does really say that?), Piquant (Sudeikis has really stick that toothbrush is?), And soothing (AAW, dental assistant really loves his fiancée chaste). In this comic assault on inequality in the hierarchy of the company, only the governors get what comes to them. The public, meanwhile, are reaping the benefits.
