Detachment (2011)

Detachement

[10/10 · 29 July 2012]

We watched this movie thinking it would be a sort of dramatic view or portrait of general schools in US today. To our great surprise, we were submerged breathless, deep inside a personal tragedy and national state of education in US of A.

We were expecting to see some prejudice. As it is accepted as a normal tendency in US to presume every single male in presence of younger children or relation between teacher and student, the adult being a potential child molester or someone with sexual intentions! Unfortunately as we were expecting, we were served in some point against the main character.

We got an overview of the political and sociological corruption of the education system in this country through an example of a public school with stupid parents and children spoon-fed to all sort of advertising propaganda.

Today shareholders, total number of sales and percentage of profits are scattering a dark veil on the education system of a country and its future generation. A country being the most powerful country in the world having the power to influence the future of the others.

Now, if they start to grow up under a corrupt propaganda and dumb-down mainstream media and political system, what hope can the future generation hold on to? 10 minutes of glory on a cable TV show, singing? Ironically it seems after 70 years we have learned nothing from the history and recent WW II with hundreds of thousands of hours of documentaries and movies.

It is a dark feel-good movie which at the end you won't feel neither satisfied nor hopeful in the future of this failed system and country. Can you trust and count on your fellow citizen disregarding his/her cultural/belief difference creating a better future for your descendants? (é_è)

God Bless America (2011)

God Bless Arrogance and Stupidity!

[9/10 · 7 April 2012]

I loved this movie. This is "The One" Feel-Good movie I've been missing since long time.

Each day and night after work or watching world and local TV news if you start feeling frustration because of stupidity of people, politicians, dictators, and pointless empty TV shows like the ones in this movie, you need something to calm yourself down.

This is a movie that takes all those rage and poison out of your mind and make you sleep well at night.

It is as satisfying as playing Doom in God Mode, just to shoot those Evils with that Shotgun or your shiny BFG9000, after those long, long meetings with stupid PowerPoint slide readers!

It is as satisfying as a long run in Castle Wolfenstein, bringing down those Nazis shouting Achtung, one by one, after a long night working after hours ... again!

It is as satisfying as scratching and slowly removing that crust off your healing wound. It hurts, tingles and your mind says stop, but you continue playing with it because feels so good!

This movie is like Daily Show on steroids! Take this movie as a medication to your frustrations and calm down.

Due Date (2010)

A tortuous journey.

[1/10 · 30 January 2011]

This is the first as said "comedy" that I had to advance it to end the on going torture faster.

I have seen such a bad comedies before with Ben Stiller that you have to suffer to the end for a pathetic ending, but this one, oh mine, this one, is the cherries on the top!

A question comes to my mind. Why?! What was the point?

Has the common sense and intelligence of investors in Hollywood has come to such a low level that they think ours is as low as their actors greed for money, or this was really the best they could get with $65,000,000?

I am very sorry for Robert Downey Jr. and Zach Galifianakis. My sympathies for your loss of talents!

The Thirteenth Floor (1999)

A 1999 like of "I N C E P T I O N"!

[10/10 · 31 October 2010]

Well, well. What a surprise I got here watching this 11 years old movie!

After watching the Inception, searching about reviews on it on the net and more good Sci-Fi movies, I noticed the name of this movie.

I can tell you that I was amazingly surprised of the quality, act, story, ambiance and the final twist of this movie. Although there are not much CGI compared to these days movies, it keeps the viewer hooked to the story and characters.

For me it is in the same category as Dark City, The Matrix and now the Inception.

Very underrated. A great solid, multi layer and feel good Sci-Fi movie. One of those at the end you start looking around thinking, What If ...!

Paper Man (2009)

When the world is in peril, When Evil surrounds you ...

[10/10 · 28 August 2010]

No matter your sex or what is your age difference, when you find a friend, if it is sincere, you have found one.

A one you can cherish, take care of, and don't listen to others prohibiting you of, because of rules and rules.

Hat's off to Writers, Directors, Jeff Daniels and Emma Stone. Emma, please give your DNA to a sort of preservation bank, perhaps we or our kids get a chance of having your clone as a friend or more if it worked out ;)

A small movie like this, playing with your imagination, emotions and feelings, up to this level? This must be either a proof to talents or something just ran off the normal Hollywood's crap line of production accidentally! /s

Want to witness real talent, feeling yourself in their place? Then this is your chance to appreciate a rare feel good movie, so real, you think you are Richard Dunn. (obviously I'm a male!)

I'm still looking back at the cupboard waiting the fantastic Ryan Reynolds as Captain Excellent to jump out of it!

I wish one day I could find a friend like Abby, giving some sense to my life.

Thank you for such a movie. These are the ones we support with our pockets not those 200 Gazillion Dollar ones targeted only for money and as empty as the popcorn box or the cola bottle at the end.

Open a bottle of wine, and taste this movie with, preferably a Friend.

Cheers!

Wild Target (2010)

An unforgettable Foot Massage !

[9/10 · 27 August 2010]

What can I add to a great British comedy more than other's reviews? Well, it was fresh, fun, a touch of sexiness and simply fun. (I said it twice?)

We were 11 and if we were in US, I think we could file for a 3rd grade murder by suffocation! It was an instance in the movie when Bill Nighy said, "May I do your other foot!".

I can tell you guys that, 7 of my friends choked instantly on the buttered pop-corns and I, as the only person in the row, tears in the eyes, still breathing, had to take care of them all.

Coughing, tears in the eyes hitting their backs! Lucky we were not thrown out of the theater!

It is a fresh, British humor, Classy and Cool movie. Give it a try.

Black Death (2010)

Shaky Camera!

[4/10 · 25 August 2010]

I can not understand the Hollywood's obsession with Shaky Camera.

This is a nice movie, actors, some new, giving their best, not a bad script at all, in medieval times with action and morals! Why would anyone in the world, in charge of such good recipients insist on ruining it with such an insistence?

I have an answer for you: Mr. Christopher Smith.

I have not yet directed a movie, (I do it 1000 times, in my head though), but I thought in these days, I mean 2010, you must have some people around you familiar in movie production, telling you about what is cool and what is NOT!

Listen Mr. Christopher Smith, a Shaky Camera IS NOT COOL! We had all headaches after 10 minutes through your movie that is not aimed towards 12 years old injected with Sugar and Caffeine directly in their veins.

If anyone reading this, I am really curious knowing the reason.

Now, you tried knowingly to destroy this movie that is obviously not Jason Bourne series. Or you really need to review the famous book of "Directing a Movie for Dummies".

Talent is not something you can buy on eBay, unfortunately!
