Panic Room

Un thriller din 2002 destul de bun. Ideea este originala si mi se pare mie destul de bine pusa in actiune. Actorii joaca binisor, iar cand te uiti la nume si vezi Jared Leto sau Kristen Stewart in floarea varstei iti dai seama ca ajung sa-si merite premiile castigate. Actiunea e si ea acolo, destul de captivanta prin ideea sa, te prinde pe parcurs. Apar insa unele clisee care-ti strica momentele alea de mare suspans. Chit ca totul se filmeaza intr-o casa, desfasurarea lucrurilor beneficiaza de mult spatiu, iar modul in care este filmat, prezinta multe detalii pe care le descoperi ulterior.
Finalul este ok si atat ... Apare politia la final ceea ce strica un pic ideea buna de pana atunci si termina tot ... pacat de unul din personaje la sfarsitul filmului, in viziunea mea vedeam alt deznodamant pentru acesta.

Nota: 9/10

Panic Room

Recently divorced Meg Altman and her daughter Sarah have bought a new home in New York. On their tour around the mansion, they come across the panic room. A room so secure, that no one can get in. When three burglars break in, Meg makes a move to the panic room. But all her troubles don't stop there. The criminals know where she is, and what they require the most in the house is in that very room.

Posterul aduce mai mult a film horror, insa este un thriller veritabil. 

Paid in Full

Un film foarte bun. Precizez de la inceput ca filmul este inspirat dupa fapte reale, toata povestea fiind una adevarata. Ea descrie viata a 3 prieteni ispititi de lumea drogurilor din cartierele de negri din America. Povestea nu se abate deloc in momentul transpunerii in film ceea ce este foarte tare. E exact viata de Harlem din America, droguri, bani si "lumea" buna unde puternica legatura din cadrul unei gasti este redata foarte bine in scenariul filmului. Orice s-ar intampla, se ajuta unii pe altii cand le e greu, insa tot de la acest lucru a plecat si finalul filmului. De la o viata buna si 'echilibrata', cand apare acel "click" toate lucrurile se schimba si apar divergentele interioare. Un film in care se injura mult, dar un film destul de bun care te tine acolo, mai ales ca punctul culminant e de la inceput.
Mi-a placut mult motto-ul lor, " live and mantain ".

Only God Forgives

Film morbid, intunecat.... cromatica specifica filmelor pline de crime and stuff. E genul de film care imparte spectatorii in 2 tabere: cei care nu agreaza filmul si cei care il adora, eu ma incadrez in prima parte. Scenele de violenta sunt prea expuse, iar scenariul este destul de slab... actiunile se petrec greu, iar scenele tin la nesfarsit, o fuga lenta de la o crima la alta. Acum partea interesanta a filmului, Ryan Gosling, e film pentru el sau nu? In opinia mea, NU!. A avut un rol prea static, pe post de 'mutulica', se putea obtine mult mai mult de la acel personaj daca era interpretat de altcineva... nu e Ryan facut pentru filmele astea

Only God Forgives

Bangkok. Ten years ago Julian killed a man and went on the run. Now he manages a Thai boxing club as a front for a drugs operation. Respected in the criminal underworld, deep inside, he feels empty. When Julian's brother murders an underage prostitute, the police call on retired cop Chang - the Angel of Vengeance. Chang allows the father to kill his daughter's murderer, then 'restores order' by chopping off the man's right hand. Julian's mother Crystal - the head of a powerful criminal organization - arrives in Bangkok to collect her son's body. She dispatches Julian to find his killers and 'raise hell'.

Posterul original. Pe langa acesta circula multe altele, tot cu Gosling in centrul atentiei (desigur), insa nu reflecta nimic din intamplarile acestui film.

Afternoon Delight

Filmul pare o comedie neagra, dar pana la urma e o drama cap-coada, este destul de plictisitor si oricum se adreseaza femeilor pentru ca la ele e problema principala din film, iar personajul principal nu face tare multe sa-si indrepte relatia de cuplu, de familia chiar, ba mai mult o complica in momentul in care se incurca total aiurea cu cine nu trebuie. In loc sa-si salveze ei viata, incearca s-o salveze cui nu trebuie :)).

Nota: 5/10

Afternoon Delight

Rachel is a quick-witted and lovable stay-at-home mom. Frustrated with the realities of preschool auctions, a lackluster sex life and career that's gone kaput, Rachel visits a strip club to spice up her marriage and meets McKenna, a stripper she adopts as her live-in nanny.

da' nu Amazing Movie ... 

Hell Baby

Cred ca e porcaria anului 2013 (daca aveti alte sugestii be my guest) pana acum. E genul de film la care nu te poti uita nici daca esti in ultima stare de plictiseala. Am impresia ca in ultima vreme sunt tot mai multe failuri atunci cand vine vorba unei comedii imbinata cu un horror ... Umorul in film e de foarte prost gust, actiunea n-are niciun rol in film, iar persoanejele sunt slabe, putine si ele oricum.

Budget: $2.500.000 (estimated)
Opening Weekend: $4.980 (USA) (6 September 2013)
Gross: $4.980 (USA)

Cred ca asta spune multe despre acest film :))

Nota: 3/10

Hell Baby

An expectant couple who moves into the most haunted house in New Orleans call upon the services of the Vatican's elite exorcism team to save them from a demonic baby.

Lebanon

Genul de film dur, psihologic, care vrea sa exprime realitatea dura din timpul razboiul dintr-un tanc. Asta e conceptia mea referitor la ce a vrut regizorul sa arate cu acest film ... mie unul mi se pare cel mai slab echipaj organizat, adunat intr-un tanc si trimis la razboi :)) Tragaciu' a tras doar in conserve si ii e frica sa traga in chestii care misca, 'loaderu' vorbeste mult si prost si enerveaza tot echipajul, capitanul pare sa fie cel mai neexperimentat din toti :)))). Toata actiunea are loc in tanc si e destul de intunecata.

Nota: 6/10

Lebanon

June, 1982 - The First Lebanon War. A lone tank and a infantry platoon are dispatched to search a hostile town - a simple mission that turns into a nightmare. The four members of a tank crew find themselves in a violent situation that they cannot handle. Motivated by fear and the basic instinct of survival, they desperately try not to lose themselves in the most emblematic act of uncivilized problem solving: war.

Cu efect de Instagram asa :)) 

Homefront

Se pare ca orice film face Jason Statham, acesta e sortit succesului. Actor principal din nou, interesant sa-l vad cu pleata totusi :))))). In mare parte filmul mi-a placut, doar ca merge pe aceeasi idee consacrata de mult, din nimic, devii personajul care capteaza atentia, fie ca e vina ta, fie ca nu, iar in final tu esti invingator, iar ceilalti in salvari si masini de politie. Actiunea e destul de cursiva si te tine cat de cat acolo... De apreciat legatura fainuta tata-fiica, fiica ce joaca destul de interesant ce-i drept :)) Acuma nu stiu daca a fost de vina plictiseala teribila din tren sau filmul are totusi nitel potential, chiar daca e film regizat de Stallone care n-a avut o cariera ravasitoare in filme de genul.

Nota: 9/10

Homefront

The Other Woman

Se spune ca 2014 este anul comediilor, iar acest film face parte din acest gen. 3 doamne una si una alcatuiesc careul personajelor principale din film, un film facut special pentru fete, insa poate fi urmarit cu usurinta si de barbati (dovada reiesind din faptul ca ne-am distrat bine in cinematograf), alter-egoul lor facandu-si aparitia clar :)))). Este o comedie buna, presarata cu momente amuzante in fiecare secventa de-a lungul actiunii. Cameron Diaz inca se tine bine, in ciuda varstei, aparand usoare urme ale 'batranetii'.

Nota: 9/10

The Other Woman

After discovering her boyfriend is married, Carly Whitten tries to get her ruined life back on track. But when she accidentally meets the wife he's been cheating on, she realizes they have much in common, and her sworn enemy becomes her greatest friend. When yet another affair is discovered, all three women team up to plot mutual revenge on their cheating, lying, three-timing SOB.

Side Effects

Un film care te adoarme la inceput, dar te trezeste si iti capteaza atentia la un moment dat. Faptul ca te tine in suspans ii ofera o nota mare, actorii jucand si ei destul de bine, in special Law si Rooney, mai putin Tatuum, care e pus in film asa pion, nu deranjeaza pe nimeni :)). Scenariul e ok, iar atmosfera e demna de un thriller bun. Bun si finalul si toata imbarligatura de acolo.

Nota: 9/10

Side Effects

Emily Taylor, despite being reunited with her husband from prison, becomes severely depressed with emotional episodes and suicide attempts. Her psychiatrist, Jonathan Banks, after conferring with her previous doctor, eventually prescribes an experimental new medication called Ablixa. The plot thickens when the side effects of the drug lead to Emily killing her husband in a "sleepwalking" state. With Emily plea-bargained into mental hospital confinement and Dr. Banks' practice crumbling around him, the case seems closed. However, Dr. Banks cannot accept full responsibility and investigates to clear his name. What follows is a dark quest that threatens to tear what's left of his life apart even as he discovers the diabolical truth of this tragedy.

Sleepless in Seattle

Un film de craciun, dar care nu exemplifica spiritul acesta foarte vizibil, insa de sarbatori copiii pot face "minuni". Este o comedie romantic, numai buna de vazut impreuna cu familia, intr-o seara placuta. Tom Hanks primeste un rol destul de serios pe care-l interpreteaza interesant, iar Meg Ryan arata diferit de Meg Ryan pe care o stiu eu ( :)))))))) ), insa fac un cuplu dragut :D.

Nota: 8/10

Sleepless in Seattle
