U Pana Boga w ogródku (2007)
Charming comedy
This is not a film that is pretentious. Instead, it is a rather charming comedy and a nice film to watch if you are looking for some easy laughs. As the other review said, some of the characters are clichéd - so what? If you are an American watching this you will be transported into a world you likely never knew existed. It always interests me to see how people are the same wherever they are in the world, and also how they are different. We have in this film a clash between the impersonal modern world, and a slower way of life where everyone is connected. I think anyone who is disappointed by this film simply expected it to be something that it is not.
Miami Blues (1990)
waste of time
This is not worth taking the time to see. That's an hour and a half of your life that you'll never get back that could be spent watching a better film. The film starts out rather predictably and seems destined to end with the elsewhere mentioned sociopath growing a conscience and becoming a good guy. Indeed this seems to be where the character development seems headed. Along the way there are some laughs, true. Along the way are some nice shots of the Miami environs, true. But towards the end there is a sudden shift towards gratuitous gore and violence. There is no redemption for any character, no message, nothing to make you walk away thinking about what you've just seen. This movie ends up being nothing but a series of scenes, and when the allotted time is up, the film simply ends.
Opera Jawa (2006)
Incredible!
This movie is not for everyone. In fact, I have my doubts about how many people are capable of appreciating it. Those who are ready to experience something completely new are in for a real treat. This is the only movie I have ever rated a 10. Why this one? Because there is nothing else remotely like it. It is not possible to write a spoiler for this movie. The more you know about it ahead of time the better you will be able to appreciate it. However even with no preparation this film has the power to move you in hard to explain ways. Even if it had no subtitles... I am not a fan of dance, or of musicals, but the combination of the 2 here along with stunning visuals and symbolism is irresistible. I could not take my eyes off the screen! This movie is amazing!
