The Crazies

Un alt film apropiat de cele facute special pe baza " sfarsitului lumii ", insa acesta acopera doar o zona, urmand a se extinde... se pare ca imi plac din ce in ce mai mult aceste filme cu anumite contaminari (probabil si serialul 24 la care ma uit si nu-mi lasa timp de filme isi spune cuvantul).

Nota: 8/10

The Crazies

As a toxin begins to turn the residents of Ogden Marsh, Iowa into violent psychopaths, sheriff David Dutton tries to make sense of the situation while he, his wife, and two other unaffected townspeople band together in a fight for survival.

The Basketball Diaries

Filmul e unul destul de vechi si astfel surprinde 2 actori in floarea varstei , Di Caprio care sincer imi pare mult mai tanar fata de titanic , chit ca-i o diferenta de 2 ani , dar si Mark Wahlberg care arata foarte bine, zic. Are  un corp lucrat frumos si o atitudine de rau iesita din comun. In schimb , parerea mea e ca titlul nu prea defineste filmul, intradevar este o poveste care implica baschetul, dar destul de diferita de restul filmului. Se putea continua zic cu povestea echipei in care cei 3 jucau sau cu succesul celui care n-a cazut in patima dependentei de droguri , ca despre asta e mai mult filmul. Finalul este iarasi prea brusc si din scurt parca, cand intra la inchisoare si urmarea o vedeti voi. Filmul e bazat pe fapte reale, sincer ? nu ma mira !

Nota: 7/10

The Basketball Diaries

The Bank Job

Da , am revenit si la un film totusi (Vplayul e de vina) , am inceput sa ma uit la serialul '24' si am lasat pentru o perioada filmele deoparte si azi s-a vazut putin, a intervenit plictiseala de cateva ori :D. De la filmul asta ma asteptam la mai multa actiune , in prima parte a fost foarte molcom si parca lipsit de chef revenindu-si in a 2-a parte cand lucrurile au inceput sa se complice, se descopera actantii jafului , apar mai multe chestii ce s-au furat si asa mai departe. Faptul ca au respectat destul de bine trasaturile anilor 1970 il face 'vazubil' doar ptr acest aspect , sau limbajul colorat si aici ma refer la accent :D

Nota: 7/10

The Bank Job

Business is slow for Terry Leather, a London car dealer, married with children. He's an artful dodger, so Martine, a former model with a thing for him, brings him her scheme: a bank's alarm is off for a couple weeks, so let's tunnel into the vault. He assembles a team, not realizing her real goal is a safe-deposit box with compromising photos of a royal: she needs the photos to trade for avoiding a jail sentence - and MI-5, or is it MI-6, is pulling the strings two steps removed. A Trinidadian thug, a high-end bordello owner, and a pornographer also have things stored in the vault, so the break-in threatens many a powerful personage. Is there any way these amateurs can pull it off?

The Avengers

Ok , incep prin a spune ca nu sunt adeptul filmelor de SF sau cele cu super eroi si bullshit de genul , nici cand eram mic nu am agreat desenele de genul. Filmul este destul de plictisitor si plat si nu apare nimic sa surprinda , e tipic acel cliseu de genul bine vs. rau cand e clar cine castiga (bun pentru bac la basm! :))). Mai e Downey Jr. acolo care da 2,3 glume si mai schitezi ceva pe chipul tau deja plictisit. Tinand cont ca Batman e ocupat cu propriile filme , Spiderman mai lipsea in film :)))). Probabil parerea se trage si de la faptul ca n-am vazut restul filmelor ce au ca personaj principal personajele de aici , doar Iron Man care a fost de 8 asa

Nota: 7/10

The Avengers

Nick Fury is director of S.H.I.E.L.D, an international peace keeping agency. The agency is a who's who of Marvel Super Heroes, with Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Hawkeye and Black Widow. When global security is threatened by Loki and his cohorts, Nick Fury and his team will need all their powers to save the world from disaster.


Prea incarcat posterul

The Great Debaters

Filmul este inspirat din realitate si sincer nu ma mira , e vorba despre tema rasismului disputata la inceput doar de cei negrii , urmand apoi si albii sa iasa la rampa, concluzia o stie fiecare presupun. Ce e fain la film e ca Denzel aici joaca si rolul de regizor, dar si actor si vad ca'i iese destul de bine , discursurile fiind foarte puse la punct , dar ce'i drept iti trebuie mult timp ca sa citesti la fel de mult sa stii cum sa contracarezi adversarul. James Junior e chiar fiul lui Whitaker , iar daca il searchuiti putin o sa vedeti o mare schimbare la el si o sa descoperiti multe filme in care a jucat cu roluri mai mari sau nu. La sfarsit am observat "produced by Oprah Winfrey" , that's nice :D

Nota: 8/10

The Great Debaters

Marshall, Texas, described by James Farmer, Jr. as "the last city to surrender after the Civil War," is home to Wiley College, where, in 1935-36, inspired by the Harlem Renaissance and his clandestine work as a union organizer, Professor Melvin Tolson coaches the debate team to a nearly-undefeated season that sees the first debate between U.S. students from white and Negro colleges and ends with an invitation to face Harvard University's national champions. The team of four, which includes a female student and a very young James Farmer, is tested in a crucible heated by Jim Crow, sexism, a lynch mob, an arrest and near riot, a love affair, jealousy, and a national radio audience.


Cam individualista coperta asta , dar tinand cont ca e si regizor sa spunem


Way better!

That's What I Am

Filmul nu incepe foarte entuziasmant , tin sa precizez ca a doua jumatate e mult mai buna , dar e ok , e un film  mediocru zic in care fiecare are personalitatea lui si se vede asta. E ok ca inca se fac filme de genul , cu scolile de pe "vremuri" si modul lor de predare sa zic asa. E un film despre educatie,prietenie,dragoste. In film observ ca joaca si Randy Orton , vedeta din wrestling parca , bine ca n-are un rol foarte insemnat. Nu inteleg o chestie in schimb, cum fata e in clasa a 8-a si baiatul in clasa a 7-a , dar totusi au orele in aceeasi clasa :))

Nota: 8/10

That's What I Am

A coming-of-age story set in 1965 that follows 12-year-old Andy Nichol (Chase Ellison), a bright student who, like most kids his age, will do anything to avoid conflict for fear of suffering overwhelming ridicule and punishment from his junior high school peers. Everyone's favorite teacher, Mr. Simon (Ed Harris), pairs Andy with the school's biggest outcast and social pariah, Stanley, aka "Big G" (Alexander Walters), on a critical term project. Sporting thick orange hair, a head too big for his body and ears too big for his head, "Big G" has been the object of ridicule since grade school. Before long, Andy will learn that there was truly a method behind Mr. Simon's madness as to why he teamed these two up. As the story unfolds, Mr. Simon finds himself the target of a malicious rumor after Principal Kelner (Amy Madigan) suspends a school bully for brutally...




Three (Survival Island)

Chit c-am vazut filmul acum ceva vreme , am vrut sa-l mai vad inca o data. Actiunea e slaba si constanta ca evenimente , Kelly Brook chit ca nu e cine stie ce actrita isi joaca bine partea (si cred ca stim toti care parte :)))))))). Finalul probabil e diferit fata de cum ne-am astepta toti , cu happy ending macar pentru doua persoane insa nu e chiar asa. Nu e genul de film pe care sa-l iei neaparat atunci cand cauti un film de genul asta(esuati pe insule) , recomand Cast Away in schimb. Punct interesant: oare cand i se terminau si lui tigarile/trabucurile ?

Nota: 6/10

Three (Survival Island)

Jack & Jennifer take a private cruise with friends, such as Captain Richards and his wife Maggie. Manuel is a staff member who catches Jen's eye. Thanks to chain of events sparked off between a dispute concerning Jack and Manuel, a fire breaks out and the ship blows up and sinks. Jen and Mannuel seem to be the only survivors to wash up on an island...but before long Jack shows lying in a rock pool...and here's where the tale turns nasty


Nu e posterul original , dar cred ca-i bun si asta :))

The Grey

E genul de film care se bazeaza pe un singur actor , in cazul de fata Liam Neeson , alt preferat de-al meu insa in cazul de fata filmul a fost cam dezamagitor. Povestea curge normal pana la o bucata cand personajele ajung sa moara din motive mult mai aiurea decat un accident de avion care e foarte previzibil de altfel. Alta chestie , sunt multe secvente care injosesc filmul (nu lasi cel mai ranit om sa mearga ultimul intr-o coloana, nu-l lasi sa doarma singur ingropat in zapada si asa mai departe). Ciudat e majoritatea se cunosteau intre ei ca lucrau in acelasi loc si imparteau aceleasi mese intr-un bar , dar de fapt la sfarsit ajung sa faca cunostiinta sau faptul ca apar secvente din familia lui Neeson , cu toate ca fiecare avea o poveste in spate si o familie.

Nota: 7/10

The Grey

In Alaska, a team of oil workers board a flight home; however, they cross a storm and the airplane crashes. Only seven workers survive in the wilderness and John Ottway, who is a huntsman that kills wolves to protect the workers, assumes leadership of the group. Shortly after they learn that they are surrounded by a pack of wolves and Ottway advises that they should seek protection in the woods. But while they walk through the heavy snow, they are chased and attacked by the carnivorous mammals.

Thick as Thieves

Filmul este chiar ok , nu foarte stralucit , dar e bun. Are parte atat de umorul lui Antonio Banderas , care by the way , nu mi se pare cea mai stralucita alegere pentru rolul avut in film , dar si de seriozitatea si momentele de uimire oferite de Morgan Freeman care cam imbatraneste ... Finalul e unul intortochiat si e bine daca mai intelegi ceva , oricum schimbandu-se cu 180 de grade :D

Nota: 8/10

Thick as Thieves

In New York, the experienced art thief, Keith Ripley, invites the bold thief from Miami, Gabriel Martin, to team up with him. He plans the heist of two valuable mysterious antique Faberge eggs, located in a safe, of the well protected Russian jewelry Romanov. Each egg is worth twenty million dollars on the black market, and Ripley needs his cut to free himself from his debt to a powerful mobster, known as Nicky. The reluctant Gabriel agrees to participate, after having a one night stand with Ripley's goddaughter Alexandra Karolin. Meanwhile, the persistent Lieutenant Weber, who has unsuccessfully tried to put Ripley in jail for twenty years, figures out how to anticipate the movements of the criminal in order to catch him.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

Foarte frumos filmul chit ca are aproape 3 ore. Este vorba despre un "asa-zis" detectiv care e bagat in atatea belele si are o singura sansa (se pare) de a scapa, si de care profita maxim. El trebuie sa descopere disparitia unei persoane ce face parte dintr-o familie numeroasa si destul de dezbinata si intortocheata. Usor , usor descopera unele detalii , dar este ajutat si din jur , principalul venind de la persoana "diferita" din film , o tipa foarte dezinhibata pe toate domeniile. Finalul e frumos si ai impresia ca nu vei mai vedea jumatate de ora din film cand crezi ca s-a terminat. Schimbarea domnisoarei din final e surprinzatoare , dar arata foarte bine.

Nota: 10/10

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

This English-language adaptation of the Swedish novel by Stieg Larsson follows a disgraced journalist, Mikael Blomkvist (Daniel Craig), as he investigates the disappearance of a wealthy patriarch's niece from 40 years ago. He is aided by the pierced, tattooed, punk computer hacker named Lisbeth Salander (Rooney Mara). As they work together in the investigation, Blomkvist and Salander uncover immense corruption beyond anything they have ever imagined.


The Illusionist

Frumos film , ce'i drept parca am revazut sezonul 2 din Romanii au Talent , dupa ce s-a afisat castigatorul toata lumea a inceput sa critice un talent , o munca depusa de un om , iluzionismul presupune atat talent cat si munca si s-a vazut si in film ca totusi este o tehnica de a se realiza acest lucru. Ma asteptam la mai multe 'trickuri' sa fiu sincer , dar au fost interesante si cele care-au fost aratate, povestea de dragoste e si ea acolo ,  lungita pe final ce'i drept , un final surprinzator si frumos

Nota: 9/10

The Illusionist

In late nineteenth century Vienna, renowned illusionist Eisenheim is reunited with the Duchess von Teschen when she is volunteered from the audience to participate in an illusion during one of his performances. Despite having not seen each other in fifteen years when they were teenagers, they almost immediately recognize each other as Eduard Abramovich and Sophie von Teschen, they who had a doomed romance at that time due to their class differences. The Duchess is soon to be wed to the Crown Prince Leopold in what would be for him a marriage solely in pursuit of power: overthrowing his father, the Emperor Leopold, as well as overtaking the Hungarian side of the empire. The Crown Prince is known to use violence against women if it suits his needs or purposes. As such, the Duchess, who realizes that she still loves Eisenheim and he her, can never leave the Crown Prince without it jeopardizing her life...

The Ides of March

Filmul cu un nume ciudat e unul destul de interesant. Tine de politica , dar desfasurarea actiunii se face in spatele a tot ce inseamna un mandat de presedintie , o intreaga tevatura ce sta in spatele unui presedinte. Filmul prezinta toate probleme de fundal , tot ceea ce tine de masluirea unor voturi , de legaturile si 'pilele' care se pun intre oamenii importanti dintr-o tara , dar si problemele in care intra eventualul candidat cand calca stramb. Alt bonus al filmului , numarul mare de actori cunoscuti , unul dintre ei Ryan Gosling jucand un rol destul de interesant pentru profilul lui , dar pe care'l interpreteaza bine , dar si surpriza Marisa Tomei care arata extraordinar de bine in postura ei de ziarista (aspect , dar si rol)

Nota: 9/10

The Ides of March

Stephen Meyers is an idealist who's brilliant at communications, is second in command of Governor Mike Morris's presidential campaign, and is a true believer. In the middle of the Ohio primary, the campaign manager of Morris's opponent asks Meyers to meet; he offers him a job. At the same time, Morris's negotiations for the endorsement of the man in third place, a North Carolina Senator, hit a snag. A young campaign intern, Molly Stearns, gets Stephen's romantic attention. Republicans have a trick up their sleeve; Stephen may be too trusting, and Molly has a secret. What's most important, career, victory, or virtue?


Din nou sunt de parere ca celalalt poster arata mult mai bine 




The Girl Next Door

Filmul debuteaza slab insa pe parcurs se imbunatateste , actiunea e ok ,e constanta si ideeile sunt interesante ptr un film care se incadreaza in varsta 14-16 ani :)). Acelasi tipar pentru americani , liceu , colegiu , geeks si smecheri , fete si petreceri. Per total e interesant , dar pana la o varsta, povestea de dragoste fiind si ea puerila , dar destul de frumoasa , dar de asemenea , dupa primele secvente ale filmului :))

Nota: 8/10

The Girl Next Door

18-year-old Matthew Kidman is a straight 'A' over-achiever who feels that he has never really lived life to the full. That is, until he meets 'the girl next door'. Danielle moves in next door, and Matthew thinks he's found the girl of his dreams. All is going well, until Matthew's sex-mad friend Eli reveals that Danielle is actually a ex-porn star. Matthew doesn't know how to take the news or how to treat Danielle, and things go from bad to worse when Danielle's former producer Kelly appears to take her back.


Mai este un poster , care cred ca se potriveste mai bine , o sa fiti de aceeasi parere :))

The Ghost Writer

Filmul in esenta lui este fain , dar parca actiunea se desfasoara prea sec , peisajul ala trist parca dezvolta ideea asta , actorii sunt ok, unii din ei destul de cunoscuti. Filmul are un fir lent care din a doua jumatate se dezvolta incredibil de rapid si de complicat , valtoarea actiunii incurcandu-te in cazul in care nu esti foarte atent la ceea ce se desfasoara, e destul de imbarligata treaba fiind multe persoane implicate. Finalul e unul la care sincer nu ma asteptam si nu referitor la ce gaseste el in 'carte' ci chiar ultima scena , n-am mai vazut rostul pentru care s-a intamplat. Oricum , e un film tipic genului Polanski

Nota: 9/10

The Ghost Writer - traducere foarte tampita pe IMDB

An unremarkable ghost-writer has landed a lucrative contract to redact the memoirs of Adam Lang, the former UK Prime Minister. After dominating British politics for years, Lang has retired with his wife to the USA. He lives on an island, in luxurious, isolated premises complete with a security detail and a secretarial staff. Soon, Adam Lang gets embroiled in a major scandal with international ramifications that reveals how far he was ready to go in order to nurture UK's "special relationship" with the USA. But before this controversy has started, before even he has closed the deal with the publisher, the ghost-writer gets unmistakable signs that the turgid draft he is tasked to put into shape inexplicably constitutes highly sensitive material.

The Fighter

Bun si filmul asta , daca ar fi sa-l compar cu Warrior , e putin mai inferior , insa ideea se mentine pe acelasi fir , un om cu povestea sa , aici urmas al fratelui care vrea sa aiba si el o cariera in sport si incearca din toate puterile , fiind inspirat dupa un caz real ii sporeste ratingul :D L-am cotat mai putin bun decat Warrior pentru ca aici se mentine prea mult frecusul familiei , ba ala , ba celalalt , ba fratele si tot asa (vedeti voi in film).

Nota: 9/10

The Fighter

The Fighter is a drama about boxer "Irish" Micky Ward's unlikely road to the world light welterweight title. His Rocky-like rise was shepherded by half-brother Dicky, a boxer-turned-trainer on the verge of being KO'd by drugs and crime.


sâmbătă, 15 septembrie 2012

Warrior

Filmul asta e o poveste de viata , una emotionanta. Ce mi-a placut cel mai mult e cum se dezvolta povestea , nu e genul de film doar cu bataie , pornesti o bataie , castigi 2-3 participi si castigi. Totul are la baza un storyline bine pus la punct , actorii foarte buni , chit ca mie nu mi-a placut Nick Nolte mai deloc niciodata. Ma asteptam la un final ca asta , dar deznodamantul luptei avea mai multe idei in capul meu , deci il face placut la urmarit :D.

Nota: 10/10

Warrior

Two brothers face the fight of a lifetime - and the wreckage of their broken family - within the brutal, high-stakes world of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighting in Lionsgate's action/drama, WARRIOR. An ex-Marine haunted by a tragic past, Tommy Riordan returns to his hometown of Pittsburgh and enlists his father, a recovered alcoholic and his former coach, to train him for an MMA tournament awarding the biggest purse in the history of the sport. As Tommy blazes a violent path towards the title prize, his brother, Brendan, a former MMA fighter unable to make ends meet as a public school teacher, returns to the amateur ring to provide for his family. Even though years have passed, recriminations and past betrayals keep Brendan bitterly estranged from both Tommy and his father. But when Brendan's unlikely rise as an underdog sets him on a collision course with Tommy, the two brothers must finally confront the forces that tore them apart...

The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel

Genul de film care pe mine ma impresioneaza , genul de film care ar trebui sa faca reclama unei tari , in cazul respectiv India , o tara plina de mister , plina de locuri frumoase(orice tara are asa ceva) , plina de povesti. E genul de film ce se aseamana cu Cairo Time , unde vin un grup de batrani , fiecare cu povestea lui si ajung sa lege prietenii frumoase si care schimba anumiti factori ai povestirii. Sonny , actorul indian e pur si simplu genial :)))) are o energie debordanta si se potriveste de minune rapiditatea lui cu umorul englezesc al turistilor.  Pustietatea locului creat de el va ajunge in final sa fie o oaza de fericire ptr cei ce vor trece pragul locului :D. Alt lucru pe care l-am admirat in film a fost faptul ca n-au exagerat cu muzica lor "populara" ci au folosit un soundtrack potrivit. Bill Nighy joaca si el in film , el fiind unul din actorii mei preferati, scena din final de pe scuter facand toti banii :))

Nota: 10/10

The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel

British retirees travel to India to take up residence in what they believe is a newly restored hotel. Less luxurious than its advertisements, the Marigold Hotel nevertheless slowly begins to charm in unexpected ways.





The Fall

Interesant filmul , interesanta metoda de a'l povesti ... actiunea imaginata de cei doi amplifica frumusetea filmului , ceea ce e interesant este faptul ca Alexandria , acea fata mica este romanca. Am citit cate ceva despre dansa si e destul de impresionanta povestea ei de cand era mica , dar si cum a ajuns in film si zic ca joaca destul de bine pentru varsta ei si ptr un copil roman care vorbeste engleza la o varsta frageda. Personajele sunt simpatice si asimilate cu persoane din cadrul spitalului , este o corelare draguta intre poveste si real

Nota: 9/10

The Fall

In a hospital on the outskirts of 1920s Los Angeles, an injured stuntman begins to tell a fellow patient, a little girl with a broken arm, a fantastic story of five mythical heroes. Thanks to his fractured state of mind and her vivid imagination, the line between fiction and reality blurs as the tale advances.

The Adjustment Bureau

Fain filmul si faina ideea , actorii sunt placuti , cel mai mult mi-a placut negrul , Harry :D. Filmul are si actiune , si drama , putin romantism ... e bun. De asemenea frumos si cum isi da el seama ca destinul ti'l controlezi in anumite masuri singur. Partea care strica putin din energia filmului e urmatoarea: faptul ca actorul principal , Matt Damon(David) reuseste si el lucrurile pe care cei cu palarii le fac , ceea ce nu este explicat pe parcurs , dar si zambetul domnisoarei in final(demential accentul) cand isi da seama care'i treaba cu acel 'plan' ... dar de unde si de unde cand ea e luata ca din oala?!. In rest e bine gandit , aceste 2 chestii scapand poate

Nota: 9/10

The Adjustment Bureau

Do we control our destiny, or do unseen forces manipulate us? A man glimpses the future Fate has planned for him and realizes he wants something else. To get it, he must pursue across, under and through the streets of modern-day New York the only woman he's ever loved. On the brink of winning a seat in the U.S. Senate, ambitious politician David Norris (Damon) meets beautiful contemporary ballet dancer Elise Sellas (Emily Blunt) - a woman like none he's ever known. But just as he realizes he's falling for her, mysterious men conspire to keep the two apart. David learns he is up against the agents of Fate itself - the men of The Adjustment Bureau - who will do everything in their considerable power to prevent David and Elise from being together. In the face of overwhelming odds, he must either let her go and accept a predetermined path...or risk everything to defy Fate and be with her.


                        Mi se pare mie sau cei doi din poster nu prea seamana cu actorii principali ? :))

Taxi Driver

O poveste faina cu un Robert de Niro leit ca acum , in anul 2012 , acelasi stil de a juca, acelasi " sictir " apare ... e un actor genial , merita toate filmele in care a jucat , povestea e mai buna in prima parte , in a doua jumatate el isi schimba cumva gandirea si ia niste decizii surprinzatoare... finalul de asemenea e unul destul de interesant :D Freza de punker face toti banii! :))

Nota: 9/10

Taxi Driver

Travis Bickle is an ex-Marine and Vietnam War veteran living in New York City. As he suffers from insomnia, he spends his time working as a taxi driver at night, watching porn movies at seedy cinemas during the day, or thinking about how the world, New York in particular, has deteriorated into a cesspool. He's a loner who has strong opinions about what is right and wrong with mankind. For him, the one bright spot in New York humanity is Betsy, a worker on the presidential nomination campaign of Senator Charles Palantine. He becomes obsessed with her. After an incident with her, he believes he has to do whatever he needs to to make the world a better place in his opinion. One of his priorities is to be the savior for Iris, a twelve-year-old runaway and prostitute who he believes wants out of the profession and under the thumb of her pimp and lover Matthew.

The Hit List

Un film cu un buget foarte redus dupa cum arata , multe greseli la filmari , din neatentie sau din lipsa de venituri , probabil i-au dat toti banii actorului principal :)) ... Ideea e interesanta, e ok si pusa in aplicare cat de cat , dar din cauza a multor clisee filmul lasa de dorit... actiunea incepe sa fie previzibila , finalul la fel... modul de a filma filmul e iarasi slab ..

Nota: 7/10

The Hit List

In Spokane, an elite government killer goes rogue on the day that engineer Allen Campbell loses a promotion and finds his best man with his wife. Allen goes drinking that night and chats up a stranger who turns out to be Jonas, the hit man. Jonas asks Allen to give him a list of five people he'd like to see dead, so a drunk Allen lists his boss, the guy who got the promotion, a nasty bookie, the best man, and his wife. By the next morning, the boss is dead, and Allen realizes Jonas is for real. Can he stop Jonas?

Take Shelter

Un film care in privinta mea are un buget foarte low si e facut doar ca sa fie trecut la cv'ul regizorului , povestea e adevarat , trista si poate ca asta a influentat mult ideea spectatorului dupa vizionarea filmului , dar pe mine nu m-a impresionat , finalul e acelasi cu cel pe care mi l-am imaginat eu , vine intr-adevar acea "ploaie" si totul revine la normal. Intrebarea pe care mi-am pus-o e urmatoarea: daca fetita nu avea problema de vorbire , mai avea acelasi impact? Pentru cel ce vizioneaza , impactul e mai mare cand un copil are probleme , fata de un adult , mai ales cand ambii sunt in film

Nota: 7/10

Take Shelter

Curtis, a father and husband, is starting to experience bad dreams and hallucinations. Assuming mental illness, he seeks medical help and counseling. However, fearing the worst, he starts building an elaborate and expensive storm shelter in their backyard. This storm shelter threatens to tear apart his family, threatens his sanity and his standing in the community, but he builds it to save his family's life.


                              Posterul cu norii pare mai reprezentativ pentru film decat acesta cu pasari.

Taking Lives

Un film fain , dar care trebuie urmarit cu multa atentie de la inceput incat sa-i prinzi ideea , finalul nu se poate spune ca e previzibil , dar poti banui care-i miscarea in continuare... Anjelina are un rol fain, pe langa faptul ca arata foarte bine apare si intr-o scena de sex , de altfel si singura din tot filmul care e buna de tot, pasionala si toate alea!

 Nota: 9/10

Taking Lives

An FBI profiler is called in by French Canadian police to catch a serial killer who takes on the identity of each new victim.

Tangled

Foarte caterinca filmul si are o nota foarte buna pe IMDB , actiunea e buna , curge bine , nu sunt eu atras de printese si printi si cai si d-astea , insa cele 2 personaje (calul si cameleonul) dau savoarea filmului , cameleonul e genial in prima parte , apoi calul isi intra in valoare :)) , au niste " asa zise replici " foarte comice , pot spune ca m-a plesnit bine rasul de cateva ori , astea sunt lucrurile care dau savoare unei animatii si care pe mine sincer m-au incantat. Are si musical si romance , le are pe toate pentru o animatie de top.

Nota: 9/10

Tangled

Takers

Mi-a placut filmul , are actiune si prezinta 2 jafuri , cel de inceput prin care le face actorilor introducerea si cel de final unde sunt cateva momente interesante la care nu m-as fi asteptat , chiar daca el(finalul) devine previzibil la o bucata, majoritatea filmelor filmului care au la baza acest subiect au de obicei un singur jaf... Zoe Saldana are si ea un loc bun acolo si inca 1 data arata foarte bine , iar actorii parca sunt facuti pentru a forma o echipa , sunt simpatici toti au personalitati interesante, preferatul meu fiind cel cu palarie :D. Joaca si Chris Brown in film si cred ca o face destul de bine totusi pentru un om care la baza e cantaret :D

Nota: 9/10

Sucker Punch

O porcarie de SF in opinia mea , e ca si cum m-as uita la mai multe filme adunate in unul singur , dar foarte prost facut, Al cincilea element , parca le vad pe Spice Girls pe scena cand pleaca ele din realitatea lor , sau desenul animat powerpuff girls , o harababura totala

Nota: 5/10

Street Kings

alt film de umplutura cu multi actori cunoscuti , cu Hugh Laurie care are si el un rol episodic pe-acolo.. filmul e mediocru , o invalmaseala greoaie si te plimba de colo colo cu ideea ... cu politisti maxim de corupti cu averea'n perete, ca la noi ! :))

Nota: 7/10

Street Kings

Something Borrowed

Un film de umplutura ce-i drept , putea sa se termine cu mult inainte , a fost mult tras de el , ba se plangea unul , ba era hotarat celalalt si tot asa , Ethan mi-a placut cel mai mult cum a jucat , a avut si umor si de toate. Cel mai mult mi-a placut melodia de final, un final care e previzibil si el de pe la inceputul filmului.

Nota: 7/10

Something Borrowed

Rachel is a lawyer. When she was in law school she fell for another student, Dex, who comes from an affluent family, but she was too shy to say anything. When Dex meets her best friend Darcy, who sometimes treats her like dirt, Darcy makes a move on Dex and gets him. Eventually, they get engaged and Darcy asks Rachel to be her Maid of Honor. However, Rachel still has feelings for Dex and still can't say anything. Darcy throws her a birthday party and Dex is there. When she and Dex are alone she blurts out that she had a thing for him in college which surprised him, and after drinking a little they spend the night together. They try to forget the whole thing and agree that it means nothing. Ethan, Rachel's close friend, tells her that she'll spend her entire life regretting that if she does nothing.


Switch

Mi-a placut teribil filmul asta , cred ca cel mai important lucru care-a dus la treaba asta a fost prestatia lui Eric Cantona , el pornind de fapt ca fotbalist , ajungand sa fie si actor si sincer s-a descurcat teribil de bine in filmul asta, am mai vazut "Looking for Eric" , dar nu se compara. Apoi , ideea in sine , geniala , pornind de la schimbul de locuinte pana la modalitatile prin care s-a facut schimbul si a inceput povestea in sine ... sunt curios daca s-ar putea realiza treburile alea si in ziua de azi. Un lucru pe care nu-l stiu , dar o sa ma documentez , pachetele trimise prin UPS , sunt trimise prin masina/vapor sau aeroport , pentru ca intr-un pachet era un cap ( :)) ), iar la controlul din aeroport acesta ar fi fost depistat :d

Nota: 10/10

Switch

A Montreal magazine illustrator heads to Paris for the summer, and her idiot grin as she perambulates round the city is enough to tell you it's all going to go horribly wrong. And so it proves. On her first morning in an apartment taken through a house-swap site, she's overrun by police, who find a headless corpse, her photo in a passport in the actual owner's name and her fingerprints all over the murder weapon. If one were to be charitable, what ensues is Hitchcockian; if not, one might call it laughably preposterous. Equally, Eric Cantona, as the detective who slowly comes to believe her, offers either a refreshingly ego-free performance, or finds it hard to break out of a monotone. Actually, the rest of the movie is so florid, it needs Cantona's stillness, whether or not it's deliberate. The schlock factor increases with every passing frame, but at least it's never boring, though whether it needs quite so many shots of Vanasse's unclad breasts is doubtful.

Plotul acesta e cam cel mai potrivit pentru tot filmul , restul aveau doar inceput , oricum nu pare promitator din rezumat , trailerul nu stiu cum e , dar filmul e chiar interesant

Submarine

o poveste sumbra cu un copil care vrea sa faca el totul parca, se baga in tot felul de treburi in care n-ar trebui , are si el 2 principii dupa care se ghideaza si atat ... finalul e unul de asteptat.

Nota: 6/10

Submarine

Meanwhile, his parents' already rocky relationship is threatened when his mother's ex-boyfriend moves in next door. Oliver makes some unorthodox plans to ensure that his parents stay together and that Jordana still likes him.




Sleeping Beauty

Numele de ' Frumoasa Adormita ' te duce cu gandul la povestea pe care o stie toata lumea , dar am dat cu seama ca este un pornosag asemanator filmului in care a jucat Tom Cruise , Eyes Wide Shut , o varianta mai moderna , dar de asemenea mai prost realizat , filmul din 1999 fiind mult mai bun :) ... N-am inteles 2 lucruri in filmul asta , de ce a scapat in masina acele chestii rosii din mana (fructe) cred ca erau, si acel hint cand vomita (semn al gravidelor) pentru ca ea la interviul ala spunea ca se protejeaza :)

Nota: 5/10

Sleeping Beauty

Skyline

Un film scarbos cu 3 lucruri aiurea : 1. bucuria de dupa raid de parca ei ar fi avut planul ala + paznicul ala e destul de annoying si bossy 2. de ce n-au stat de la inceput in casa vazand ca acolo nu se intampla mai nimic(avand si acele jaluzele beton, nice invention btw) , 3. daca asa ar fi sfarsitul lumii nu m-as obosi sa ma salvez :)). Finalul e mai scarbos ca tot filmul la un loc si nu inteleg de ce nu s-a pus accent absolut deloc pe copiii din pantecele mamelor pentru ca in final cam acolo se ajunge. Observ ca in storyline se precizeaza " his pregnant girlfriend " , dar in film acest lucru apare in 3 momente doar.

Nota: 6/10

Skyline

Ray stares at the light and is taken by the mysterious force. The group of friends try to escape from the alien invaders.


Shoot 'Em Up

Actiunea se desfasoara destul de rapid ceea ce e un plus pentru un film de genul , mai ales ca efectele sunt slabe si actorul principal (care mie imi place sincer) omoara tot ce prinde si zboara numai sange pe oriunde ar merge , ma mir ca totusi a reusit sa fie impuscat 1 data , ca i s-au rupt degetele toate si el inca trage cu arme si morcovi (mi-a placut introducerea acestei legume in film :))) , il face mai ceva ca pe chuck norris.
P.s. Bellucci is hot !

Nota: 7/10

Shoot ' Em Up

At a local bordello, he tries to employ a lactating hooker to watch the child, but things quickly escalate, and this makeshift family is soon on the run. Heavy metal music calms the baby. Why? A laboratory, gun factory, and presidential campaign all figure in Smith's quest for the child's safe deliverance.

See no evil , hear no evil

Foarte caterinca filmul :)) glumele sunt bune si personajele parca facute pentru asemenea rol , se completeaza grozav si se inteleg de minute , chit ca fiecare are cate un deficit :)) avem si o aparitie feminina destul de impunatoare , chiar si personajul orb apreciaza asta " damn she smells good " :)))

Nota: 8/10

See no evil , hear no evil

A man is murdered. Two men witness it. A blind man who hears the killer, and a deaf man who sees her. The police don't think they're credible witnesses, but the killers don't want to take any chances. The two men must now work together to save themselves and bring the killers to justice.


She's the Man

Filmul asta cred ca l'am vazut pe la tv , oricum am aceeasi parere despre el , girly movie , cu un bajet cu muschi numit channing tatum , pe care eu nu-l sufar :)) , o poveste incredibil de predictible , cu un final pe care toata lumea il asteapta , la americani observ ca in orice film e legat de adolescenti si putin din viata lor de studenti/elevi , apare un sport , ceea ce pe de o parte ar fi fain daca ar fi si povestea ok

Nota: 6/10

She's the Man

Here's the thing! Viola's soccer team at Cornwall gets cut. She wants to join the boys team, but they do not allow girls. So she thinks "If you can't join them, beat them". So she does! She disguises herself as her twin brother Sebastian, and goes out for the rival school, Illyria, boys' soccer team and makes it. Unfortunately, she didn't plan falling in love with her roommate Duke. But Duke has his eyes on Olivia. What makes matters worse is that Olivia starts to fall for Sebastian because he/she has a sensitive side. If things couldn't get more problematic, the real Sebastian (who was in London working on his music) comes home early. He arrives on campus and has no clue that he was replaced by his twin sister.


Shaun of the Dead

Nu`mi explic nota imensa de pe imdb , ori au votat doar englezii , ori ceva e dubios :D. Un film silly cu o imitatie de zombie , dar tot n-am aflat cum au aparut ei , totusi au umorul lor binecunoscut , dar filmul e fara logica , totul e facut la intamplare parca , ce'i drept e funny in anumite locuri , dar cam atat ...

Nota: 6/10

Shaun of the Dead

Shark Night 3D

Porcarie de film :)) tipic facut pentru americani , un party la o casa de vacanta , mor toti pe rand , raman 2 pe final , unul e erou , slaba si actiunea si ideea 

Nota: 5/10


When 7 college friends pack their swim suits for a weekend of fun-in-the-sun activities at their friend Sara's lake house, they think it will be the perfect vacation. But the tables immediately turn when the lead football star, Malik, gets his arm ripped off during a water skiing accident. While the friends are to believe his wound was a freak accident, they soon come to discover that there was a primal attack involving a shark. Now while they think that one shark is no problem, they soon come to the realization that 15 species of sharks are lurking in the water, and with no form of boat or transportation, and no signals for phone's, the group of seven now face a fate they would never imagine. Being fed to these sharks by crooks for real life footage on an Internet website.



Salmon Fishing in the Yemen

Frumos film , are si o poveste de dragoste in el , si dramatism , si umorul britanic foarte evidentiat in film :)))) genial rolul actritei din Guvern. Alt lucru care ti-l spune filmul e ca atunci cand ai bani poti realiza orice( cam greu sa duci niste pesti si apoi sa le oferi mediul lor propice), dar si daca ai dusmani , ei iti pot ruina orice. Chiar daca numele nu iti emana un film serios sau ok , dupa ce-l vizionezi iti schimbi parerea :D

Nota: 9/10

Salmon Fishing in the Yemen

A visionary sheik believes his passion for the peaceful pastime of salmon fishing can enrich the lives of his people, and he dreams of bringing the sport to the not so fish-friendly desert. Willing to spare no expense, he instructs his representative to turn the dream into reality, an extraordinary feat that will require the involvement of Britain's leading fisheries expert who happens to think the project both absurd and unachievable. That is, until the Prime Minister's overzealous press secretary latches on to it as a 'good will' story. Now, this unlikely team will put it all on the line and embark on an upstream journey of faith and fish to prove the impossible, possible.

Safe House

Exact genul de film la care ma asteptam, cu doi oameni de actiune , unul in final " erou " , nici nu imi inchipuiam alta imagine pentru Denzel decat cu un pistol in mana si alergand de/dupa altii ... apar si cateva momente pierdute la montaj parca prin film , destul de aiurea sincer , cei doi trimisi in capitala , stiau perfect strazile la o zi dupa ce-au ajuns , ei fiind trimisi din USA , oricum , e o actiune destul de buna si un Denzel care inca poate :D ceea ce e bine !

Nota: 8/10

Safe House

Matt Weston (Ryan Reynolds) is a CIA rookie who is manning a safe house in Cape Town, South Africa, when Tobin Frost (Denzel Washington) the CIA's most wanted rogue agent is captured and taken to the safe house. During Frost's interrogation, the safe house is overtaken by mercenaries who want Frost. Weston and Frost escape and must stay out of the gunmen's sight until they can get to another safe house.


Running Scared

Cel mai mult mi-a placut la filmul asta viteza actiunii , totul pare pe fuga , dar e foarte bine organizat , nu ma asteptam la un asemenea final si ce'i drept n-am inteles diversiunea aia din final , un film destul de bun la capitolul actiune , efectele alea de la shotgun ma lasa rece, actrita e un + :D :))

Nota: 8/10

Running Scared

After a drug-op gone bad, Joey Gazelle is put in charge of disposing the gun that shot a dirty cop. But things goes wrong for Joey after the neighbor kid stole the gun and used it to shoot his abusive father. Now Joey has to find the kid and the gun before the police and the mob find them first.


Runaway Bride

Alt film previzibil , iti dai seama din final din momentul in care Richard Gere ( care incepe sa-mi placa din ce in ce mai tare in filmele in care'l vad , si ce-i drept au inceput sa se inmulteasca, alt rol care'i scoate in evidenta calitatile) ajunge in orasul tipei. Tinand cont de poveste ma asteptam sa fie si ceva mai funny :)) precum partea de nunta cu acel copil taraindu'se dupa rochie :D , film mediocru pana la urma, nota e fortata :)

Nota: 7/10

Runaway Bride

Ike Graham has his own by-lined column in USA Today, which he usually uses as a forum to rail against the opposite sex. For his latest column which he writes at the last minute as usual, he, based on some information from a stranger in a bar about a woman he knows of back home, includes the story of still single Hale, Maryland residing Maggie Carpenter, who is known as the "Runaway Bride" since she has been engaged multiple times, but always leaves her betrothed standing at the altar. Because an incensed Maggie complains to the newspaper for factual inaccuracies in her story, Ike is fired, but he realizes that the story still has some life in it and thus decides to go to Hale to do further investigation. He finds that Maggie is again engaged, now for the fourth time, this time to high school football coach and adventurist Bob Kelly, who is confident enough in himself to know he will be different than the previous three grooms..

Good Deeds

Filmul e ok , dar parca e a nu stiu cata oara cand vad acelasi film , cu un caz dramatic care iese bine in final , ca de altfel acest final foaaaaarte previzibil , cel mai mult mi-a placut actorul , are o figura buna in filmele de genul si a jucat foarte bine dupa mine :D

Nota: 6/10

Good Deeds

Businessman Wesley Deeds is jolted out of his scripted life when he meets Lindsey, a single mother who works on the cleaning crew in his office building.


Friends With Kids

Fainut filmul , de caterinca , ideea e geniala si daca ar functiona ar fi grozava :)) dar pana la urma , in final , toti ar ajunge unde-au ajuns si cei doi actori care de altfel au jucat foarte fain ... simpatici copiii astia cand sunt mici :))

Nota: 9/10

Friends with Kids

What could go wrong?

Fastest

Documentar exceptional , mi-a adus aminte fiecare cursa importanta prezentata in el , stiind cand o vazusem live pe eurosport in urma cu cativa ani cand ei difuzau MotoGP si ma uitam weekend de weekend .. partea trista in acest documentar este cumva aparitia lui Simoncelli care din pacate a decedat in acelasi an cu aparitia filmului , 2011 intr-un accident in Sepang  ... Mi-a pus un semn de intrebare faptul ca au fost prezentati mai pe larg Rossi si Lorenzo (cei drept cam ei au dominat) amandoi fiind la Yamaha(chiar daca pe Rossi l-au luat cu Honda la inceput) , o fi fost sponsorizat documentarul de cei de la Yamaha ?

Nota: 9/10

Fastest

Shot around the world in 2010 and 2011 and narrated by Ewan McGregor, 'Fastest' captures the intense and thrilling reality of the MotoGP World Championship, documenting a pivotal moment in the sport. With Valentino Rossi chasing his tenth World Championship title the Italian ran into one of the toughest challenges of his career: a crop of exceptionally fast young competitors, a horrific leg break at his home race, and an amazing comeback little over 40 days later. Confronting such a monumental task and with rival Jorge Lorenzo taking the 2010 title, Rossi faced up to one of the most testing year's in his illustrious career and along with his fellow competitors was left asking: Who is the fastest rider now?

Chronicle

Sincer ma asteptam la alt film , dar a dat-o intr-un SF de prost gust , prima jumatate e chiar excelenta , inceputul nu te pune deloc pe ganduri referitor la film( initial am crezut ca e alt film sec in care se filmeaza cu o singura camera) , mi-a placut prima parte , sincer ... dar finalul lasa de dorit , se putea face un film chiar frumos pe mai departe

Nota: 8/10

Chronicle

Andrew is a troubled but creative teen with a keen visual eye and a high-quality HD camera. He is introverted and socially awkward. Along with his friends, Matt and Steve, they make a discovery that leads them all to acquire powerful telekinetic abilities. They're now capable of, well, almost anything. But things take a dark turn.  



Big Miracle

O poveste inspirata din viata reala , un film emotionant si foarte trist , in care afli ca multa lume se poate mobiliza pentru un caz de o asemenea anvergura .. insa 2 lucruri nu mi-au placut , actrita (cea de la greenpeace , Barrymore) , nu mi-a placut niciodata , dar si un lucru care se intampla si in zilele de azi , faptul ca oamenii politici cauta sa-si faca un nume prin orice modalitate , daca ai vazut rusii ajutand americanii pentru 2 balene , e nasoala treaba :))

Nota: 8/10

Big Miracle

An animal-loving volunteer and a small-town news reporter are joined by a native Alaskan boy to rally an entire community - and eventually rival world superpowers - to save a family of majestic gray whales trapped by rapidly forming ice in the Arctic Circle.

A Thousand Words

Superb film , mi s-a parut ca Eddie Murphy e in varful carieriei sale la cum a jucat si la cum arata si totusi are o varsta ... i se potriveste grozav rolul , si la caterinca , si serios si ce-i drept e cam greu sa-l faci pe eddie murphy sa taca :)))) mi-a placut mult de tot filmul , pentru bunadispozitie :D

Nota: 10/10
