The Gift

Mi s-a parut un film destul de bine realizat, iar avand in vedere ca nu este un horror cred ca a avut cateva faze care sa te faca sa te incolacesti putin si aici ma refer la genul de horror psihologic pentru ca nu sunt scene in care se taie capete si zboara sange pe pereti.
Misterul din plin si finalul neasteptat care te lasa pe tine sa alegi varianta pe care o vrei in deznodamant, cred ca reprezinta o reteta de succes, chiar daca ideea s-a mai repetat in multe filme cand apar unii 'obsedati' ce vor sa destrame o familie.
Jason Bateman joaca misto, mai ales ca el e genul de actor care apare prin filmele de comedie, dar si Joel Edgerton face o figura frumoasa.

Nota: 9/10

The Gift

Simon and Robyn are a young married couple whose life is going just as planned until a chance encounter with an acquaintance from Simon's high school sends their world into a harrowing tailspin. Simon doesn't recognize Gordo at first, but after a series of uninvited encounters and mysterious gifts prove troubling, a horrifying secret from the past is uncovered after more than 20 years. As Robyn learns the unsettling truth about what happened between Simon and Gordo, she starts to question: how well do we really know the people closest to us, and are past bygones ever really bygones?

Transcendence

Cred ca va dezamagi pe multi in clipa in care vor termina de vizionat acest film. Probabil si din trailer, insa nu este ceea ce crede fiecare sau ce ar vrea sa fie si se incadreaza la capitolul 'interesant' si atat, si asta din cateva motive: Ideea originala, dar pacat de modul de interpretare prin regizarea slaba si momentele moarte. Actorii buni, de prima mana, insa cu interpretari mediocre fata de operele consacrate. De asemenea, faptul ca Johnny Depp accepta si roluri mai serioase dupa seriile incarcate de rom :)).
Nu ma dau in vant dupa SF-uri insa imi dau silinta sa ma uit la ele, cu atat mai mult cand nu exagereaza si sunt de calitate, insa acest film m-a intins pe tot patul de plictiseala.

Nota: 6/10

Transcendence

Dr. Will Caster (Johnny Depp) is the foremost researcher in the field of Artificial Intelligence, working to create a sentient machine that combines the collective intelligence of everything ever known with the full range of human emotions. His highly controversial experiments have made him famous, but they have also made him the prime target of anti-technology extremists who will do whatever it takes to stop him. However, in their attempt to destroy Will, they inadvertently become the catalyst for him to succeed-to be a participant in his own transcendence. For his wife Evelyn (Rebecca Hall) and best friend Max Waters (Paul Bettany), both fellow researchers, the question is not if they can...but if they should. Their worst fears are realized as Will's thirst for knowledge evolves into a seemingly omnipresent quest for power, to what end is unknown. The only thing that is becoming terrifyingly clear is there may be no way to stop him
