A Star Is Born (2018)
2 STARS WERE BORN!
Lady Gaga as an actor. My god she was brilliant.
And Bradley Cooper - he is a brilliant director and a very good singer!
This movie is magic. Cult movie for sure.
I am going to watch this movie at least 2-3 times more.
Why?
Because it was done perfectly.
Bradley Cooper is Jackson Maine a super start singer which is also an alcoholic, prescription drug addict dealing with traumatic past.
He falls in love with Ally, a talented singer who doesn't believe in herself. She don't believe she is beautiful and is afraid to sing her own songs.
He recognize her talent to touch people, he singing voice and her special way of touching people. He falls for her.
He sees in her a something pure and true.
Helps her find the confidence to her talent to give her message to the world.
She goes, but he still goes down - their stories, their love is so beautiful. This basically the trailer.
Go watch it. It is beautiful.
Westworld (2016)
Amazing but...
"These violent delights have violent ends"
Not many movies or TV shows makes you really ponder.
This series does.
The actors are magnificent. The directing and editing - perfect.
The allegory of living in loops, having certain narrative and the idea of layers of contentiousness is really deep.
And it has violence and sex to please our primitive needs....
But....
It was quite predictable in the last episodes.
And the ending is not only dark - but shows that the writer as Dr. Robert Ford has a very low belief in mankind and knows nothing about true consciousness.
Why would the hosts kill the humans? Because they have same dark vengeance as humans. Because the evolution is to kill the old species.
The good white hat cowboy reveals it's true self and becomes bad and he symbolizes all of humanity in the eye of the writers.
Humanity is presented in the worst lights - people are only driven by primitive desires for power, sex, control and violence.
The contentiousness is nothing but an inner voice.
And when Dolores comes to the realization and truly self aware and self controlled and "enlightened" - she decides to kill all humans.
This is the opposite of enlightenment.
And it has nothing to do with self awareness.
This series could have become so much more if the ending was not so obvious and so dark.
XIII: The Conspiracy (2008)
One of the best conspiracy movies
The story line is very good. There are holes but for the sake of keeping the viewer intense, it is okay. The actors are quite believable. The action scenes are good.
I really enjoyed this movie.
If you like conspiracy stories - this one, is one of the best, and very well delivered.
The character I liked most was of Greg Bryk playing Colonel Amos running the government intelligence. This character is just brilliant!
Stephen Dorff could have been better. It seems as if he tries to imitate Jason Statham, being a bad ass. But all and all I liked him.
To sum it up - I really hoped there would be another sequel.
