The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003)
So long
More than 9 hours (for the 3 films) to watch the final kiss.
Special effects seems of an other age.(King Kong - old version) I agree, it's not easy to recreate the world of Tolkien.
But here is a bit annoying. Too long to watch.
The Navigators (2001)
A boring story
Generally I adorn Ken Loach's films, but here it is a boring story. With an English humor touch, the author tells us the story of the privatization of British rail. It's long, very long and so British. It's hard to be concerned by annoying script.
Moulin Rouge! (2001)
Sparkling Kidman - dazzling Luhrman
It's like a trip bringing you in the beginning of the XXth century, is a whole "kitch" universe recreated for your pleasure. Using all the possibilities of the new numeric technology, mixing real views with painted sets you dip in an amazing fairy world. The music is one of the best part of the movie on the top there is Nicole Kidman near to perfection for her play, her songs and her performance. A very very ... good movie - go sit down and enjoy. NB : it's the third time i watch this movie.
The Horse Whisperer (1998)
Long horse story
Filmed in the gorgeous outdoors of Montana, it is marvelous to stroll among this magnificent region. Robert Redford is excellent, which is not the case of Kristin Scott Thomas (I prefer her performance in the English patient). But the film in itself is too long, I don't like horse enough to appreciate the story. Nevertheless is a good idea the make a parallel between the recovery of the little girl and that of the horse.
The Bridges of Madison County (1995)
I will love you in this life and the others for ever and ever
I really liked that movie, which describe with such sensibility and tenderness which is an love affair. Meryl streep (house wife) and Clint Eastwood (National geography reporter) fall in that magnificent love that only once in your life you can find. She remains in her family for her children but her heart, her feelings remain by her lover of one night and for her whole life. Until death will separate them. I adorn the last sentence of the film (said by Meryl Streep in her last willing) : I has given my life to my family - I want to give the eternity to my love. It's so romantic and so true. Both leading roles are perfectly interpreted.
Bridget Jones's Diary (2001)
My Venus in blue jeans
Cinderella of the 21th century, Bridget Jones sings the wrong way, is dressed with a carpet, smoke like a chimney, drink like a man and fall in love like a little girl of the so charming advocate Mark. Renée Zellweger is perfect in her role : the perfect example of the modern young girl (?). It is so romantic like a love at first sight in Notting Hill. A very pleasant movie .
Dinosaur (2000)
No feelings - just technique
The spirit of Disney has gone away, it is just remaining the technique.Elementary feelings. Good little dinosaur is fighting again horde leader old, ugly and stupid. It is always the same story ; lion king, Tarzan...The plot of the film is so stupid : the quest for the promised land of the Dinosaurs. Villain raptors, cruel Tyranosaurs nothing new, just old easy things.
Lady Paname (1950)
Scent of a woman
I agree it is old, it is of an other age, but it's charming. Suzy Delair is a bitch, ok it's true, but she looks so "parisienne". Fine legs, pretty woman singing like a sea lion but looking like a goddess (of the after ww2 period). Jouvet is also perfect as usual. The action happens in the music hall world, where a young singer (S. Delair) try to becomes a star. Fine girls, bad boys, money, guns, music hall. It is a caricature of "Ca c'est Paris" of the early fifties.
Les âmes fortes (2001)
What a poor story
After having watched that movie, i am still asking myself who is buried. And it seems i am not alone asking that question. When the film ended, people where asking each other "excuse me i haven't seen the beginning can you explain the plot of the film". Laetitia Casta try to act as an actress, she will probably succeed in a few decades. Nevertheless a good thing : the photography is excellent.
Jurassic Park III (2001)
Ridiculous dinosaurs movie
The film make me laugh which was not, i suppose, the purpose of the director. The script is stupid, totla lack of imagination. The best scene for me is at the end, when the marines come to rescue the heroes, i guess, the scene is to be seen at the second degree. Nevertheless the very best moment of the movie is when the words "the end" appears on the screen.
