Tamara (2005)
what a waste
this "tamara" thing could be a good "carrie"-like story: she's a shy and lonely high-school girl, going through some family problems and most of all, hated by school people. initially, tamara doesn't have any mental powers (as carrie), but she's into wicca/witchcraft. after dying tragically, she returns to kill her mean colleagues and to claim the love of ugly "teacher natolly".
it's funny the way she really IS a loser. some stereotyped football players make an evil plan to get her really embarrassed (but she ends up almost dead, as i said), and there goes tamara being a total idiot. i felt ashamed by how ridiculous the story goes after this point.
even i don't really give credit to the Hollywood-amount-of-visual-effects, the FX on "tamara" seem like made on the 80's. they're really really really really BAD. that would be funny on "trash - indie" movies (original, humorous or so what), but here it's just disappointing.
besides, the acting is awful. "reborn evil tamara" is annoying, vulgar and fake. the witchcraft AND the teen scenario, also presented on movies like "the craft" (much better and fun), are a joke. there are boring fight scenes. the dialogues are bad. the deaths are bad. the idea is bad. the ending is probably the worst i have ever seen.
there's no reason to watch this movie. let tamara rest in peace. :]
Great Expectations (1998)
is it me?
i totally love this movie,its a kind of chosmical matter,cause everytime i recommend it to a friend (of course,saying its really really REALLY good) the post opinion is always so low! most people just dont have the sensibility to feel a story like this one. yes,i've read the book...which is a little different...and call me commercial,i prefer alfonso's cuaron view of GE. there are some memorable sequences which made me cry a lot of times (its not a common thing,i didnt cry on titanic,for example),and the soundtrack really helps the story. Pulp's song "like a friend" is beautiful and plays on one of the most passioned and tensioned scenes of the movie. although im not a gwyneth paltrow's fan,she plays estella with a lot of class and personality. ethan hawke is excellent,suffering for love.the same goes to robert deniro,anne bancroft and chris cooper. and even who doest liked great expectations,you have to agree its not a bad movie.
