The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

So what do we have here, Peter Jackson directing another epic story from J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit. I for one never read the book, but read all Lord of the Rings story and I find it fascinating. However Peter Jackson is familiarized with the story as he is former director of Peter Jackson and he also keeps Elijah Wood, Orlando Bloom, Ian McKellen and  Ian Holm (sorry if I missed somebody) from the former trilogy of Lord of the Rings. From this...

Puss in Boots

Trough the whole movie I was caught by the story. The writing crew did a great job. But the main image that got stuck on my mind was the image of the boots... oh... the boots were just great. I could wear those boots for ever and ever again. What surprised me was the appearance of "Kitty Soft paws", a sexy kitten with a black mind and without claws. I don't remember seeing her in any of the trailers I watched, so I was pleasantly surprised. I'm...

The Rum Diary

I don't want to spoil this movie. I want it to offer you the same as it offered me, a wonderful and enjoyable evening.Instead of giving snaps from the movie I want to say something about Deep (in this movie of course). He is great, from the morning to the evening he is great. His acting is improving on the course of the movie. Even though I hail him for the role he played in Pirates of the Caribbean, honestly he made the movie by himself. This happens...

Melancholia

Kirsten Dunst is naked, Lars von Trier is again sick and thus, together, they made a beautiful movie. The movie has two parts and they are both created in Lars unique style. You've probably read that the movie is about a planet that destroys the earth (Armageddon in the Scandinavian style). The movie has a few threads so it's easy to watch and understand, because the pace is slow. There are some key scenes to watch in during the movie and that attracted...

Limitless

Have you ever thought about having superpowers? Do you know that we all have superpowers?Our brain is our superpower and how we use it depends only on us. We can train to use our brain to 100%, or we can take pills to use it. However such overcharging of brain activity is dangerous for our body and life. Like anything we can buy using it to full power over a long period is exhausting and weakening the product. The same happens with our brain, if...

Fright Night

I expected a horror movie for such a long time, and what I expect is to get me scarred. Fright Night indeed scared me. At the beginning, I only seen some corpses and said to myself 'What a rubbish'. I wanted to leave, but I said what the heck I paid money to see the movie let's see if they worthed. One thing that change the whole perspective of the movie was Colin Farrel. He is represented as the hot neighbor who will steal your girlfriend and your...

Sherlock Holmes

It's a great and enjoyable adventure with a little bit of everything. It's a great movie directed by Guy Richie. I don't know why, but I like this director's movies; RockNRolla is a movie that just doesn't get out of my mind and Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels also. Now talking about Sherlock the great detective, the kind of person who comes up with conclusions even from your smell, or your clothes' smell. He is ingenious and he truely deserves...

Contagion

The movie will hit the theater in September. The film is produced and directed by the experienced director Steven Soderbergh who is known for the Ocean's series, Traffic and Che. In my opinion, he can handle this kind of movie. The movie is all about a deadly disease that is transmitted through simple contact, and a team of doctors gathered from all over the world is assembled to find the cure. And from what you can spot out off the trailer, Thomas...

The Adjustment Bureau

Do you think that somebody controls the world? Do you think that there are some forces guiding the development of the world? Do you think that there is someone there to provide a controlled development of our society? Have you ever thought that we are just some pieces in a big puzzle and somebody calmly rules us? This movie is all about that. The daily adjustments that are made in our life in order to miss an important meeting so that we could fail...

London Boulevard

The director and writer Wiliam Monahan created a twisted movie based on the novel of Ken Bruen. Together with Colin Farrel, he created a cold blood gangster movie. What surprised me from the beginning of the movie was the lack of smiling on Colin Farrel's face. In fact, the only time he laughs, is at his friend's funeral. From the beginning, the viewer is induced in a cool transition that captivates him and prepares him for the story to come. Mitchel...

The Woman in Black

Daniel Radcliffe will start in a new novel based movie, called The Woman in Black. The first adaptation of Susan Hill's book was made by Herbert Wise in 1989, with Adrian Rawlins in the lead role. However the movie stars Harry Potter's main character, Daniel Radcliffe on his real name, and, considering his fans, he should maintain at least the same level of acting. He has the advantage of already playing in a book based movies. The trailer presents...

Rango

A very attractive animation featuring Rango, the lizard. So, as you could find out from the above line, Rango is a lizard. More than that, he's a lizard who got lost in the dessert (actually, he was lost by his owner). An alone lizard in the dessert. A very likely dying lizard in the dessert. However, he's one of the cutest and lonely lizards from out there. For me, the movie was a must see. The theater was full and they were very much entertained....

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2

I just wonder what Harry Potter didn't have. Maybe I was to excited about seeing this movie. At an 'overall' level I was dis-hearted.The movie didn't impress me with anything. Of course, it has all the magic stuff that the other parts had, but what the hell, it doesn't have the touch of a maestro. I just laughed at how stupid it looks when Ron kissed Hermione; I wanted maybe more, I wanted an epic and glossy kiss, and even if I'm not a real director,...

Rio

Entertainment is the key word of this movie. Carlos Saldanha, Earl Richey Jones and Todd Jones created one perfect happy ending story. Even if kids are the targeted audience for this movie, I was expecting something different in comparison to Ice Age, or Robots but I received the...

True Grit

Revenge is one of the most common things which can be seen in action movies, and True Grit is among this type of movies. On top of all that, what should highly be appreciated is the fact that it tries to reinvent a genre. The story is well built around the revenge of Mattie Ross. She is a stubborn girl who has enough money to hire a tough U.S. Marshal, who would help her track her father. At the beginning, Rooster Cogburn is not willing to accept...

Memento

A movie that keeps you awake and wondering for days. The short-term memory loss was exploited in many movies, but Memento is by far one of the best. Christopher Nolan, also known for directing Inception, The Dark Knight and Batman Begins, exploits the illness of his main character, Leonard Shelby, in a proper way.The rewind effect of the movie is strange at first and makes you feel like you will never understand the movie as a whole. It's a movie...

Biutiful

You need to lose your life in order to see how "biutiful" it is. Alejandro González Iñárritu captures this in a beautiful way in his film. The movie concentrates on Uxbal, a single father of two, who needs to put order in his life before he dies. He is actively involved in the life of  Barcelona's underground crimes.Uxbal is interpreted by Javier Bardem who is well known for his appearances in Mar Adentro(The sea inside), Love in Time of Cholera...

Pirates of Caribbean: On Strange Tides

I eagerly awaited this movie. For it I prepared myself with all Pirates of the Caribbean movies. I watched them and I loved them. The movie director Rob Marshall has done a good job. But he forgot one thing that 'This is the day you will always remember as the day you almost caught Captain Jack Sparrow!' and this is a movie where the captain escapes twice, I mean how can you forget such a thing. That's a minus for the movie. There is to much of SF...

Alice in Wonderland

I am a great, great fan of both Tim Burton and Johnny Depp. They worked great together in some masterpieces of our time like, Edward Scissorhands, Corpse Bride, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Sleepy Hollow and Ed Wood. And they are great even when they don't work together like Pirates of the Caribbean(Johnny Depp) and Batman(Tim Burton). Depp brings a great contribution to Tim Burton's dark creative...

There will be Blood

A movie that keeps you connected for it's entire length. A multiple layered piece of artistic work. It includes all things that make a good movie. The director, Paul Thomas Anderson, creates a perfect mix of family, greed and religion as seen in the early days of oil prospecting.Paul Thomas Anderson depicts a perfect atmosphere of short breathtaking shots and scenes of great intensity that surprise the violent way of doing business. The movie star...

Black Swan

One of the most anticipated movie I wanted to see, especially for Darren Aronofsky as he is an eccentric and overwhelming director. Aronofsky created a masterpiece and thus he deserves all the praise in the world.The movie has a strong psychological effect. The transformation of a white swan into the most astonishing Black Swan. Nina was a beautiful ballet dancer, with a strong character and perfect moves, just what a white swan needs. Due to her...

With notable names in the cast, like Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher. The team between Ivan Reitman and Natalie Portman is crucial and one of the best of this movie.The director surprises the audience with this strictly physical relationship between a guy and girl.

The Green Mile

In the year of 1999, The Green Mile was released under the signature of the same director and screenwriter who directed The Shawshank Redemption, namely Frank Darabount. The movie is an adaptation after Stephen King's novel with the same name, with a typically King story and a very consistently high-powered supporting cast. It is a 188 minutes drama, with some strong violent scenes and nonetheless it delivers a Biblical allegory, with stupendous...

Hotel Rwanda

I watched it over the weekend and I came to believe that it's a great movie. Signed by Terry George and Keir Pearson and inspired from the life of Paul Rusesabagina, a hotel manager who made himself useful for the tutsi during their struggle against hutu militia in Rwanda. Beside Jean Reno there is no great name in the cast, even Jean Reno has a small part in the story. However the collective group of actors with the main character in front, Don...
