Hide and Seek (2005)
Where's the world coming to?
I've seen the trailer. I've seen the movie. One question popped in my head: What's happening to DeNiro? After Another second-hand movie he stars in. Come on! I want to see the Robert DeNiro from "Awakenings" or "Cape Fear" or "Goodfellas"! He performs great,as usually, but his character raises many questions marks. Anyhow, the movie keeps you in suspense, at first sight seeming to have an original plot. But after I've seen it, I realized that the plot was not original at all. After his wife's suicidal, Dr. Callaway (Robert DeNiro) decides to move to the country-side with his daughter Emily. As soon as they settle in, Emily makes a new friend - Charlie. On first thought, Charlie is an ordinary imaginary friend, or isn't he?... Well, it's for me to know and for you to find out. All in all, the movie is worth watching, at least for its ending (not original either).
Maria (2003)
Life without make-up
Irony, sadness, misery, shattered dreams... "Maria" has it all. It is not a movie about succeeding in life, it is a movie about surviving. The movie depicts the story of a young woman trying to get through the harsh world of the suburbs. Mother of seven children, Maria tries her utmost to ensure a decent life for her family. Without any support from her husband, and after every one has tried to take advantage of her, she faces the terrible truth: her only chance is to sell her body. Watching the movie, I kept asking myself: "What will happen to save Maria? Which is the element that is supposed to save the day?" Then I realized that there is no answer to my question.
