Inglourious Basterds (2009)
They are ALL Inglorious basterds!
Tarantino surprises me once again with Inglorious Basterds. This movie shows that Mr. Tarantino doesn't give a damn about reviews, critics, etc. He just does what he wants, and that's what makes him a good director, he doesn't listen to what others may think and expresses his art the way he wants to. And that's admirable.
Brad Pitt was obviously thumbs up, he plays Aldo Raine perfectly fine. I loved him trying to speak Italian I laughed so much in that scene. I must say that this role is one of my favorites in his career, because it shows us that he is a very versatile actor and not just a cute face. But i have to say that my favorite performance goes to Christoph Waltz, he is Hans Landa a detective from the SS. He is amazing in this role, just amazing, I would give him an Oscar.
I'm not going to say anything about the cinematography or the directing, or the violence, it's all Tarantino style.
Don't listen to the bad reviews, see for yourselves. If you like Tarantino, you will not be disappointed and If you don't give him a chance. I just don't understand why people start saying all these things about history can't be changed, I mean It's a movie, just a movie. It's not realistic obviously but it's fun and it's good. Just be open-minded and go watch this. That's why I certainly recommend it to everyone who enjoys something different from usual Hollywood.
Julie & Julia (2009)
I am so hungry!
Let's be clear, I went to see this movie because Meryl Streep was in it, and because of that, I knew I wouldn't be disappointed. And guess what? OF COURSE I wasn't! But not just because of her, but because of the movie in general.
This movie is very beautiful, the picture, the scenarios, everything was very enchanting. Amy Adams keeps coming as a surprise for me, first Doubt, then this, she's becoming really good! She does great in the character of Julie, an innocent girl with a bad job and a lot of fantasies. Her character is really inspiring.
Of course, the star of the movie is Meryl Streep as Julia, she gets into character very well, but again, when doesn't she? This movie makes you hungry, and it makes you happy, because Julia makes you see everything in a bright side, she makes you want to cook! And when i found out that the director, Nora Ephron, was the same director from " You've got mail" and from "When Harry met Sally" I knew why I liked it.
IF I had to say something negative about it, i will say that it was maybe a little bit long, but not enough to make you wanna stop watching it.
I recommend it certainly, especially for women, but everyone will enjoy it. It is just great. Let's cook!!
Faubourg 36 (2008)
Great french movie, following "Les Choristes"
When i heard that the director from " Les Choristes" was releasing a new movie i thought it was a must see. And i was definitely right! the music is very good, the photography and the costumes are excellent and the actors too.
Nora Arnezeder came as a big surprise to me, this unknown girl who has such a great voice, she was very good, and, of course, Gerard Jugnot, the great Monsieur Mathieu from " Les Choristes" was amazing again. The thing i most liked about the movie is that it keeps you entertained from beginning to end, you really want to keep watching and you never get bored. The songs take you to the 1930's as well as the scenarios.
This movie is beautiful and definitely must be watched, it will definitely entertain you and you will enjoy good french cinema.
Obsessed (2009)
not too good.
This movie is OK for someone who doesn't have anything better to do, its predictable, not very well acted and just not very interesting.
Beyonce was okay as the wife, i mean this role goes very well with her. But shes the only decent one in the movie. It just doesn't make too much sense that this girl gets so crazy for her husband if she doesn't even know him. The story is boring let's put it that way, it has nothing that makes it different. It's not well done.
It could have been much better, but its good for entertainment i guess, i don't recommend it.
i give it a 5 and I'm being too good.
Watchmen (2009)
Stars for the watchmen!
There are a lot of things I would like to say about this movie. When you watch the visual effects and the violence and everything you can pretty much tell this movie was directed by the same guy that 300. Zack Snyder did a really good job in this one! The special effects were just amazing and the movie is very well directed compared to how hard it is doing a movie about such a great comic. Also the plot was really good too.
THe only thing I didn't like was Malin Akerman, she is just a terrible actress. When I saw her for the first time it was in The heartbreak kid. I was impressed on how bad she was so when i saw her in this movie i was like damn it! The other actors were pretty good though, especially Jackie Earle Haley, he was amazing!
It is a great movie after all i have to say, i was impressed by it and even though its like 2 hours and a half it was worth it so GO WATCHMEN!
What Just Happened (2008)
this... did not just happened.
This movie is bad, bad, bad. I was so bored that i stopped watching it in a half hour. I don't know if this movie is trying to show the audience how in need of good movies Hollywood is or the director was just trying to make something different that didn't came out right.
I really don't like that Sean Penn and Bruce Willis were playing themselves. What was that for? I really don't know how a movie with so many good actors could just be so bad.
I rented it mainly because Robert de Niro was in it, well, when i saw that Kristen Stewart was also in it i doubted, but i decided to get it. Robert de Niro did not good at all, I mean lately he is not doing good movies, i don't know what has happened to old de Niro!
I have nothing else to say apart from DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME.
Doubt (2008)
No Need To Doubt.!
This movie is definitely one of the best movies of 2008.
The acting was amazing: Meryl Streep was amazing as sister Aloysius, but of course she is always great. Philip Seymour Hoffman does a great job as Father Flynn, he is so into his role that in the whole movie there's not a single moment when you can say... i got you! you abused the kid! or you didn't! I was really surprised about Amy Adams. I always saw the perky Enchanted Amy Amdams until i saw this movie. Her natural sweetness fits just fine in sister James character, I mean, I don't think she deserved to be nominated for an Oscar but she did pretty good! Who came to me as a big surprise was Viola Davis. She's just in one scene, and her amazing performance nominates her for an Oscar, not that i agree that much with the Oscars. But she made me cry! She made us really understand how much the kid suffered at home! The plot was great. I really liked the end because it kinds of reveals that Father Flynn abused Donald, but in the other hand, you are not sure at all. I was never bored during the whole movie and i was really into the story.
The directing, the shots, the dialogs, everything was great! I really liked the movie and i would definitely recommend it for people who always enjoy a good acting.
Gossip Girl (2007)
love it !
i don't know why people don't like the show i think it's amazing! Not only makes you want to watch it more and more but the gossip and everything its just great! I've read reviews and people seem to not like Blake lively for Serena , well i think she's really good at it! Okay, I admit that's kind of different from the book but can't you guys just be a little more open- minded? I really think she's a very good actress and she plays the role pretty well. My least favourite is Taylor Momsen as Jenny. I think she's not quite right for it but still the show is great. I also like the clothes they wear, especially Blair's and Serena's and the show in general is pretty entertaining and cool. I think it's a chick show so i would recommend it to every girl maybe 13 or older. YOU KNOW YOU LOVE IT! XOXO GOSSIP GIRL!
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006)
GREAT!!!!!(but not as great at the first one)!!
This film is sooooo good! the best thing of the film was Jhonny Depp, they couldn't have chosen a better actor to play Jack Sparrow! The film is very amused, a little darker than the first one but brilliant! That's also because the subject is totally different. And, when you see this film...you need to see the next one!!!There's also a lot of things that you'll say: really? I never expected this to happen!!. this film is not as good as the first one but it is great!!I mean, because for me the first one was brilliant( it is one of my favorites). In this film I personally like the scene where jack sparrow is in a cannibal tribe...it's so funny!!Well,how good has to be the film that in Disney world they have put in the Pirates of the Caribbean show a jack sparrow and a captain Barbosa character! You decide when you go and see it!!But I...absolutely recommend it!!
My Super Ex-Girlfriend (2006)
I personally think that this is a funny film that most people would enjoy!
I personally think that this is a funny film that most people would enjoy! Actually, when i first read the plot outline i thought it was going to be a bad film, i thought it was a silly topic... but is not! It is pretty fun and i think it is a good way to spend your time if you want to have a great time! You will laugh a lot...i can assure you that!! And i also like how Uma Thurman plays the superhero g-girl i think she's a great actress!!! Well i really think that all the cast is good! well, except that I don't really like the actor who plays Matt's friend maybe that is because i don't like his character either! Well, you decide when you go and see it. The last thing I say that...i recommend it!!
