Winter's Bone

Filmul prezentat nu este deloc o capodopera, este o simpla drama cu un scenariu destul de ok. Tinde insa sa te plictiseasca la o bucata, nu are acel ceva sa te scoata din monotonia actiunii. M-a dus cu ceva timp in urma cand citeam Baltagul, filmul are cam acelasi tipar, am vazut o Vitoria Lipan de 17 ani pe urmele tatalui de data aceasta, cam acelasi storyline, per total un film in care nu prea se intampla nimic notabil. Senzatia de realism este destul de pregnanta, dar dincolo de acest lucru nu prea se pot spune multe alte lucruri, cred ca s-a vrut prea mult de la acest film si n-a iesit ceea ce trebuia.

Nota: 7/10

Winter's Bone

With an absent father and a withdrawn and depressed mother, 17 year-old Ree Dolly keeps her family together in a dirt poor rural area. She's taken aback however when the local Sheriff tells her that her father put up their house as collateral for his bail and unless he shows up for his trial in a week's time, they will lose it all. She knows her father is involved in the local drug trade and manufactures crystal meth, but everywhere she goes the message is the same: stay out of it and stop poking your nose in other people's business. She refuses to listen, even after her father's brother, Teardrop, tells her he's probably been killed. She pushes on, putting her own life in danger, for the sake of her family until the truth, or enough of it, is revealed.

Whatever Works

Filmul e asa amuzant intr-un fel ... are genul ala de replici acide, dar in acelasi timp amuzante. In schimb, nu pot sa zic ca e un film prost, dar nici genul de film genial pe care vrei sa-l revezi. E un film bun si atat, care trebuie vazut. In a doua jumate m-a plictisit nitel, insa dialogurile fac deliciul filmului alaturi de actorul principal. E un caz care se aplica in zilele noastre peste tot, femeia tanara se simte atrasa de un batran :)) Aici in schimb, atractia nu este influentata de avere (surprinzator nu?), dar finalul se mentine pe acelasi tipar. E genul de film facut pentru fanii lui Woody Allen, ceilalti s-ar putea sa nu-l inghita

Nota: 8/10

Whatever Works

Attempting to impress his ideologies on religion, relationships, and the randomness (and worthlessness) of existence, lifelong New York resident Boris Yellnikoff rants to anyone who will listen, including the audience. But when he begrudgingly allows naive Mississippi runaway Melodie St. Ann Celestine to live in his apartment, his reclusive rages give way to an unlikely friendship and Boris begins to mold the impressionable young girl's worldly views to match his own. When it comes to love, "whatever works" is his motto, but his already perplexed life complicates itself further when Melodie's parents eventually track her down.

That Awkward Moment

Un film presarat cu toate ideile preconcepute care au animat adolescenta fiecaruia. Plin de voie buna, cu "glume ca intre baieti" care vor doar sa mai copilareasca o vreme pana sa inceapa "adevarata viata". Distributia nu e excelenta, dar pare potrivita, momentele emotionante sunt mai numeroase decat cele amuzante (eu am numarat 2 faze la care am ras puternic, in rest cate-un zambet schitat in coltul gurii). E amuzant cum incearca ei sa combine in bar si le si iese sau momentele in care se mint teribil si totusi se prind de glume :)))). E film lejer, de vazut cand nu e altceva mai bun de facut. Stii ca filmul si-a ales bine coloana sonora in momentul in care auzi o melodie si iti capteaza atentia mai mult decat actiunea, asa s-a intamplat si cu piesa asta.

Nota: 8/10

That Awkward Moment

Jason has just been dumped, but he didn't even realize they were going out. Meanwhile, Mikey's wife has just asked him for a divorce, and perpetually single Daniel is still single. The three best friends are determined to stay single together and just have fun. But then Jason meets Ellie who just might be perfect for him, Daniel starts to realize that his gal pal Chelsea might be perfect for him, and Mikey has always thought that his wife was perfect for him. The boys are going to have to juggle their single life with their romantic entanglements and it's going to get awkward.

Paranoia

Exact genul de film care peste tot are note mici si e comentat negativ, insa mie imi place :)). Subiectul si distributia sunt generoase, actorii joaca in media aia normala. Nu e genul de film la care sa zici WOW dupa ce il vezi, dar nici nu poti sa spui ca e de gunoi, poate doar finalul care e previzibil de pe la jumatate, insa tot te lasa sa descoperi modul in care o face. Doua lucruri mi-au placut in special, faptul ca actorii aia cunoscuti peste tot gen Ford primesc roluri secundare si nu mai beneficiaza de toata atentia, iar cel de-al doilea coloana sonora, Zedd iar isi face loc cu piesele sale, dupa acest film si-a facut simtita prezenta si in Divergent, insa momentele in care ii intra piesele pe imagine dau bine.

Nota: 9/10

Paranoia

The high stakes thriller Paranoia takes us deep behind the scenes of global success to a deadly world of greed and deception. The two most powerful tech billionaires in the world (Harrison Ford and Gary Oldman) are bitter rivals with a complicated past who will stop at nothing to destroy each other. A young superstar (Liam Hemsworth), seduced by unlimited wealth and power falls between them, and becomes trapped in the middle of the twists and turns of their life-and-death game of corporate espionage. By the time he realizes his life is in danger, he is in far too deep and knows far too much for them to let him walk away.

Los amantes pasajeros (I'm so excited)

Este un film care se vrea a fi o comedie, insa a iesit o mare porcarie. E facut cu un buget foarte redus, din care 70% dat pentru cele 10 secunde in care apar Antonio Banderas si Penelope Cruz, nu inteleg cum pot unii actori sa-si dea acordul pentru astfel de filme. N-are nicio linie actiunea, o tampenie, pierdere de timp, nu va uitati ! :))

Nota: 4/10

Los amantes pasajeros

A technical failure has endangered the lives of the people on board Peninsula Flight 2549. The pilots are striving, along with their colleagues in the Control Center, to find a solution. The flight attendants and the chief steward are atypical, baroque characters who, in the face of danger, try to forget their own personal problems and devote themselves body and soul to the task of making the flight as enjoyable as possible for the passengers, while they wait for a solution. Life in the clouds is as complicated as it is at ground level, and for the same reasons, which could be summarized in two: sex and death.

Head in the Clouds

Un film interesant, cu atmosfera specifica acelor ani (20-30), o perioada plina de razboaie. Personajele, costumatia, locurile toate intra in peisajul specific unui astfel de film. Cele 3 personaje principale, cunoscute toate (Charlize Theron sau Penelope Cruz) fac deliciul piesei, ei emana o sexualitate autentica, insa lipsita de vulgaritate. Pe langa asta, filmul urmareste prietenia si iubirea, dar este cumva si despre aparente, iar actiunea din final te lasa sa-ti construiesti singur povestea. E un film pentru cei ce plac filmele de epoca.

Nota: 8/10

Head in the Clouds

HEAD IN THE CLOUDS is a sweeping romantic drama set in 1930's England, Paris, and Spain. Gilda Bessé shares her Paris apartment with an Irish schoolteacher, Guy Malyon, and Mia, a refugee from Spain. As the world drifts toward war, Gilda defiantly pursues her hedonistic lifestyle and her burgeoning career as a photographer. But Guy and Mia feel impelled to join the fight against fascism, and the three friends are separated - seemingly forever.

Non-Stop

A fost un film reusit care te tine in tensiune de la inceput la final. E genul perfect de film care i se pliaza lui Liam Neesen, poate din acest motiv mi-a placut si atat de mult, el fiind actorul principal. Scenariu original, plin de suspans, nimic nu-ti prezice ceea ce se poate intampla in final, doar intr-o imaginare de ansamblu destul de mare. Cel mai misto lucru e ca iti da posibilitatea sa ghicesti tu "teroristul", ai de ales dintr-un avion de 150 de persoane ( +- personajele care's filmate asa, de decor). E de vazut !!

Nota: 10/10

Non-Stop

Bill Marks, a former cop dealing with his daughter's death by drinking, is now a federal air marshal. While on a flight from New York to London, Marks gets a text telling him that unless 150 million dollars is transferred to an offshore account, someone will die every 20 minutes. Can he find the terrorist in time and save everyone?

Pompeii

In prima faza filmul m-a captivat, insa ulterior a intervenit plictiseala si cliseul clasic cand binele invinge si ala bun salveaza situatia. Ok, ideea esentiala se bazeaza pe faptul ca multi uita ca puterea pe care ti-o da o functie inalta nu valoreaza nimic in fata mortii (cum statea la final ca un milog si cersea sa nu fie lasat acolo), iar tu cu personalitatea ta alegi cum sa fii infrant, demn sau plin de lasitate. Efectele vizuale nu impresioneaza deloc, jocul actoricesc e acceptabil, imi place totdeauna sa vad actori din seriale jucand si filme, cazul imparatului care a jucat in serialul 24 :D. Clar nu e film de cinema, e acceptabil totusi ca povestea aia de iubire nu isi face simtita prezenta foarte puternic.

Nota: 8/10 cu indulgenta

Pompeii

Set in 79 A.D., POMPEII tells the epic story of Milo (Kit Harington), a slave turned invincible gladiator who finds himself in a race against time to save his true love Cassia (Emily Browning), the beautiful daughter of a wealthy merchant who has been unwillingly betrothed to a corrupt Roman Senator. As Mount Vesuvius erupts in a torrent of blazing lava, Milo must fight his way out of the arena in order to save his beloved as the once magnificent Pompeii crumbles around him.

Lovelace

Filmul este tulburator, te tine in priza (daca pot spune asa :))) mai ales in prima jumate pentru ca pe final o lasa mai moale. E o poveste care socheaza, insa tind sa cred ca s-a mai repetat povestea de multe ori, doamna fiind probabil prima (povestea fiind reala in anii '60). Cred ca filmul poate fi o lectie de viata pentru fetele naive, care se grabesc sa se casatoreasca si sa se mute cu "persoana iubita" fara a o cunoaste foarte bine. In final, fiind un film cu o actrita porno, poate fi considerat film romantic? :)))))) Ca bonus: Linda Lovelace suna bine pentru un nume pornografic

Nota: 8/10

Lovelace

The story of Linda Lovelace, who is used and abused by the porn industry at the behest of her coercive husband, before taking control of her life.

Field of Dreams

Un film minunat si foarte emotionant, despre ce ai avut, ai pierdut si poti recastiga. Costner nu cred ca e actorul potrivit pentru acest rol insa o fi fost nevoia de un nume mare, in schimb a jucat destul de ok. Un film care se bazeaza pe o singura expresie " If you build it, he will come ". O sa ai impresia ca stii cine e acel "HE", dar vei ramane placut surprins cand descoperi ca nu e asa :)). Filmul merita vazut chiar daca e intercalat baseballul, un sport pe care unii nu-l agreaza, insa nu pe asta se axeaza povestea.

Nota: 10/10

Field of Dreams

Iowa farmer Ray Kinsella hears a voice in his corn field tell him, "If you build it, he will come." He interprets this message as an instruction to build a baseball field on his farm, upon which appear the ghosts of Shoeless Joe Jackson and the other seven Chicago White Sox players banned from the game for throwing the 1919 World Series. When the voices continue, Ray seeks out a reclusive author to help him understand the meaning of the messages and the purpose for his field.
