- DirectorKar-Wai WongStarsBrigitte LinTakeshi KaneshiroTony Leung Chiu-waiTwo melancholic Hong Kong policemen fall in love: one with a mysterious female underworld figure, the other with a beautiful and ethereal waitress at a late-night restaurant he frequents.this is totally my type of movie. having watched the fallen angels i was a bit preoccupied, in a good way. so similar these two films are all about characters. daydreamers, sometimes living in their own world. i thought this movie to be something like a spell that will get me out of my misery - and it did. and thats how i was preoccupied, i knew i would want look like those leading roles in some way. similar to a dream that keeps you in bed untill 2 in the evening, its been a week that im not waking up untill my perfectly staged, ready for the pictures dream comes to an end. next time i'll have to use something else though to change my mindset because i run out of motivating movies. everything points at the same direction, every night i hate my life.
- DirectorKar-Wai WongStarsLeon LaiMichelle ReisTakeshi KaneshiroThis Hong Kong-set crime drama follows the lives of a hitman, hoping to get out of the business, and his elusive female partner.After watching this i really feel like i was born at the wrong decade. I never imagined how absorbing 90s hong kong can be, all i want is to quit University and move to the shittiest corner of hong kong. This movie reminds me of what pills can do - as i was told - all my feelings are more intense and in the meantime i am very motivated to live. maybe like Zhiwu lives, care a bit less. i restrain myself in every way i want to set free. This is a moment of truth, i've never felt as a grown up and ive never fallen in love and i'not too peaky - Zhiwu is. something is preventing me though, to live my life to the fullest. I may missed the hardships, not wishing for them eitherway but i need that starting power or some drug for constant motivation. Also the shots were unbelievable i watched the whole movie still.
- DirectorChristopher NolanStarsCillian MurphyEmily BluntMatt DamonThe story of American scientist J. Robert Oppenheimer and his role in the development of the atomic bomb.went to the movies thinking this will take the place of my current favorite movie, meaning i had very high expectations
however that was not the case as it was another great biopic to me, certainly not my favorite movie
what bothers me to this moment, one day later, is nolan switching between characters' perspectives in different moments of the timeline
its not the physics what baffles me but the way the trials are directed, and thats a miss in my opinion
it was a great movie though, both absorbing and redemptive, with exceptional acting - DirectorMatt RossStarsViggo MortensenGeorge MacKaySamantha IslerIn the forests of the Pacific Northwest, a father devoted to raising his six kids with a rigorous physical and intellectual education is forced to leave his paradise and enter the world, challenging his idea of what it means to be a parent.second time i am watching this after many years and it appeared to be very impactful
going through some kind of existential crisis myself, during the whole movie i was questioning every single thing i am used to do
the movie was a gathering of my own unwritten thoughts and concerns
i hate my predefined and restricted life as it is and that kind of physical, spiritual and intellectual education combined with the rejection of the unnatural conveniences society has to offer (at whatever cost they are though) is what occurs to me
apart from philosophy its so complete this movie, moving, amusing and most importantly its food for thought - no complains on the acting side either
taking that not so typical happy ending into account you got to love this story - DirectorF. Gary GrayStarsDonald SutherlandMark WahlbergEdward NortonAfter being betrayed and left for dead in Italy, Charlie Croker and his team plan an elaborate gold heist against their former ally.certainly some grand theft auto action including those perfect heists
it reminds me of early fast and furious movies, everybody got a perfected skill and you know that it has one very happy ending from the first minutes of the film
in other words nothing else than a much predictable action movie, surprisingly carried out by some distinguished actors
i did find those 2 hours amusing but most definitely i will not remember them 2 hours tomorrow - CreatorLuke DaviesDavid MichôdStarsChristopher AbbottKyle ChandlerDaniel David StewartLimited series adaptation of the classic Joseph Heller novel. Follows Captain John Yossarian and airmen in World War II.after 4 years i am rewatching this and i am glad i did
combining comedy and drama clooney along with some fellers manages to direct a great mini series based on some novel about world war 2
its compact and its flawless, actors are natural and visuals certainly took me back to the 40s
story takes place in a us airforce base in italy where a pilot desperate to go as far from the war as possible, will come through more than one challenges
i came across plenty of emotion but what really makes catch 22 great is that character yossarian, smart but pessimistic, which i think christofer abbott absolutely nailed - DirectorMartin McDonaghStarsColin FarrellBrendan GleesonKerry CondonTwo lifelong friends find themselves at an impasse when one abruptly ends their relationship, with alarming consequences for both of them.some story about an old irish village in the 20s
a story more like a social experiment between a naive man, his desperate friend and a few other figures
the script concentrates on the rejection and a really persistent answer
apart from a very well scriped plot, some oscar-wining acts and shots take place
barry keoghan's performance should be considered of class similar to parts like ledger's joker
it was depressing enough to make me project the story to our wide world as one common
and thats my only consolation - that it is experienced by many - DirectorMark NeveldineBrian TaylorStarsJason StathamAmy SmartCarlos SanzProfessional assassin Chev Chelios learns his rival has injected him with a poison that will kill him if his heart rate drops.i have been so against this kind of movies for a long time but lately i realize how wrong i was
no deep meanings take that for granted, not much to appreciate on the artistic side too, but these movies really keep your attention with constant action, you just cant get bored and statham is the best guy for this kind of movies - DirectorEdo BertoglioStarsJean Michel BasquiatJohn LurieRichard WeigandAfter being released from the hospital, the artist Jean Michel Basquiat wanders around Manhattan trying to sell art to make money and find a place to stay.basquiat was a popular artist back in the 80s at which time he is portrayed roaming new york
kind of abstract this movie, no real plot, with long poetic monologues, awful music - but felt like it was on purpose that way - and some street art for sure
although i did take a good look at that vintage era i am in love with, i could taste the tasteless 80s, regarding arts mostly - DirectorJames CameronStarsSam WorthingtonZoe SaldanaSigourney WeaverJake Sully lives with his newfound family formed on the extrasolar moon Pandora. Once a familiar threat returns to finish what was previously started, Jake must work with Neytiri and the army of the Na'vi race to protect their home.i liked the fact that they used same characters and made it actually the continue of the previous story
this way they allow viewers to bond tightly with the protagonists, mostly
both this and the first avatar movies are great ideas with plenty of action and emotion, they promote a nature-centered community and their scenes are second to none
during the way of water some times i did felt like i am watching a documentary about pandora with all that incredible landscapes but i dont think thats necessarily negative
avatar sequence really stigmatize the film industry of the 21st century - DirectorChristopher NolanStarsChristian BaleTom HardyAnne HathawayEight years after the Joker's reign of chaos, Batman is coerced out of exile with the assistance of the mysterious Selina Kyle in order to defend Gotham City from the vicious guerrilla terrorist Bane.dont get me wrong but this one was way better than dark knight
well ive said it and i'll say it again whatever movie christian bale is in will be a fine movie and thats an another example
as i see it bale came and brought us this trilogy
as far as the plot is concerned i definitely watched one very absorbing adventure but thats the best i can say - DirectorFrancis Ford CoppolaStarsMarlon BrandoAl PacinoJames CaanThe aging patriarch of an organized crime dynasty transfers control of his clandestine empire to his reluctant son.some say the best to ever exist, i couldnt see that
i can never keep pace with pre-90s movies though, and taking that into account - the fact that this film is 50 years old - i have to expect different things
for example scenes of beating and shooting are terrible but there was nothing more realistic back then
also humor and the ideal of the thug was so much different and in my eyes appalling
apart from that i ought to give credits to marlon brando as tony is on the top 3 performances, ever
i am always interested in mafia movies especially in those taking place around the 50s, as i was in this story too
my young eyes couldnt see what was it that gave the crown to this trilogy but i certainly appreciate it and will watch it again in the future - DirectorDamien ChazelleStarsBrad PittMargot RobbieJean SmartA tale of outsized ambition and outrageous excess, it traces the rise and fall of multiple characters during an era of unbridled decadence and depravity in early Hollywood.
