Movie 43

O idiotenie de film alcatuit din scurtmetraje si reclame insa fara nicio legatura, nu exista un subiect concret al filmului. Cretinitate de film cu glume de 2 lei, scenetele parca-s scrise de copii de 10 ani, plin de glume cu tenta sexuala si injuraturi la greu. Niciodata nu te-ai fi asteptat sa vezi asemenea distributie (Uma Thurman, Kate Winslet, Hugh Jackman, Gerard Butler) alocata unui asemenea film. Ei probabil s-au distrat copios la filmari pe langa onorariul luat.
Filmul ar trebui sa ma faca sa zambesc in repetate randuri insa slabe sanse sa schitezi ceva vizionandu-l.
Sa nu va uitati la un asa film.

Nota: 4/10 - pentru actorii aia grozavi

Movie 43

Ineffectual, 'has-been' film-maker (Dennis Quaid) swindles his way into an interview with a film executive (Greg Kinnear) in order to pitch an outrageous and controversial comedy manuscript. After pitching the first of his thirteen offbeat fables, the dejected artist forces the rest of his disjointed allegory on the executive at gunpoint. He tells stories of a woman on a blind date with a man who has testicles growing from his neck, in another a smitten woman offers her neck to her boyfriend to 'poop' on -as a sign of commitment and love. In yet another two parents take home-schooling to a whole new level of indecency, striving to give their isolated teenage son all the 'regular' torment and humiliation of puberty by bullying, peer-pressuring and even seducing him themselves. An off-beat, elephant-in-the-room type film.

Life of Pi

Un film frumos. O poveste foarte interesanta si complexa. Peisajele si jocul actorilor este foarte interesant, iar amatorii de animale e musai sa vizioneze acest film, toata " jungla " e prezenta :)) Efectele sunt destul de slabute, prea fictive, iar la un moment dat e amuzant ca o da din Titanic in Arca lui Noe :)). In rest filmul e fain, relatia om-animal exprimata bine in acest caz. Ceea ce e interesant (exceptand acel moment trist din final - no spoilers), este faptul ca te lasa sa iti alegi finalul, final care este ales in functie de persoana ce urmareste acest film, ce iti place, ce crezi ca este plauzibil sau ceea ce vrei tu sa se intample.

Nota: 9/10

Life of Pi

In Canada, a writer visits the Indian storyteller Pi Patel and asks him to tell his life story. Pi tells the story of his childhood in Pondicherry, India, and the origin of his nickname. One day, his father, a zoo owner, explains that the municipality is no longer supporting the zoo and he has hence decided to move to Canada, where the animals the family owns would also be sold. They board on a Japanese cargo ship with the animals and out of the blue, there is a storm, followed by a shipwrecking. Pi survives in a lifeboat with a zebra, an orangutan, a hyena and a male Bengal tiger nicknamed Richard Parker. They are adrift in the Pacific Ocean, with aggressive hyena and Rickard Parker getting hungry. Pi needs to find a way to survive.

End Of Watch

Filmul arata ca un documentar de fapt despre munca politistilor, o munca in care ai nevoie de curaj, daruire, sacrificiu... un film cu si despre politisti cu mult suspans si adrenalina cu momente reale care se intampla zi de zi in cartierele din orasele mari din America, jafuri, omoruri, scandaluri, petreceri cu droguri si urmariri periculoase. Chiar daca este putin plictisitor la inceput, el devine captivant destul de repede prin realismul actiunilor, fiind un film un pic atipic cand ai tot vazut filme cu politisti.
Se termina interesant, dar trist cu toate ca de pe parcurs iti ofera 'idei' despre cum s-ar termina, insa probabil ramai surprins (ca mine).

Nota: 9/10

End of Watch

In South Central Los Angeles, street cops Brian and Mike are partners - balls-out cowboys patrolling the streets as Latino gangs are in a power struggle with Blacks. Brian and Mike get lucky a couple of times, making big drug and human-trafficking busts, so a Mexican cartel orders their deaths. We meet Mike's pregnant wife (whom he married out of high school) and watch Brian's search for a soul mate. There are internal squabbles within the ranks of the LAPD and lots of squad-car conversation. Can the lads escape the cartel's murderous reach?

Come out and play

Cea mai pierdere de timp... sarac in personaje, putinele personaje joaca prost si nu atrag atentia cu nimic, decor saracacios, regia si interpretarea stupide. Subiectul destul de tampit, copii care omoara adulti, de parca oricati ar fi s-ar putea opune unor oameni mai destepti si mai impunatori fizic ca ei ... in antiteza cu finalul chiar unde personajul principal scapa de un numar mare de copii foarte usor. Finalul, o tampenie, barbatul e ucis de un politist de la paza de coasta, care si el e omorat de-un copil cu propria arma, apoi ei pun stapanire pe barca si pleaca .... penibilitate de film.

Poate ca ideea filmului era interzicerea avortului (femeia fiind gravida), deoarece in film apare jena de a omori un copil ...

Nota: 4/10

Come Out and Play

Beth (Vinessa Shaw) and Francis (Ebon Moss-Bachrach), a young married couple, are on holiday together when they venture to a beautiful, but highly remote, island. Beth is pregnant and the two are hoping to enjoy their last vacation before their baby is born. When they arrive, they notice that while there are plenty of children present, the adults all seem to be missing. Initially attributing this to the after effects of a recent festival, they quickly realize something far more sinister is afoot. The two will face terror and unsettling difficult decisions in their quest to make it off the island alive.

"Not every child is born good" - BULLSHIT! 

The Internship

Filmul este amuzant cat ii permite, Vince Vaughn e printre preferatii mei la comedie, stilul lui de a vorbi mult si uneori fara rost il face un personaj simpatic :)) cu atat mai mult ca acum a fost si scenarist. Filmul e o publicitate continua pentru compania Google, in mare iti prezinta modul de lucru in cadrul companiei si multitudinea de elemente pe care majoritatea o stim (barul unde orice servesti e gratis, bicicletele colorate in culorile Google, birourile pline de culori). In conceptia mea, ideea filmului doreste sa evidentieze ca in orice companie, toti 'tocilarii' si workaholicii nu pot face fata fara "ceilalti": degeaba esti un geniu sclipitor daca o idee incredibila iti vine la o bere cu un prieten idiot. Filmul iti aduce zambetul pe buze la multe scene, dar pune in evidenta si rolul muncii in echipa fara de care nu rezisti intr-o companie, increderea in sine si curajul de a lupta pentru visul tau.
Puntea din actiunea filmului e in momentul in care Billy cauta de munca si tastand aiurea pe Google realizeaza faptul ca ar putea lucra acolo, ideea e slaba, puteau gasi ceva mult mai original pentru a realiza trecerea asta. Imediat dupa e si partea cu interviul, la fel de idiotic realizat ...

Nota: 8/10

The Internship

Billy (Vince Vaughn) and Nick (Owen Wilson) are salesmen whose careers have been torpedoed by the digital world. Trying to prove they are not obsolete, they defy the odds by talking their way into a coveted internship at Google, along with a battalion of brilliant college students. But, gaining entrance to this utopia is only half the battle. Now they must compete with a group of the nation's most elite, tech-savvy geniuses to prove that necessity really is the mother of re-invention.

Divergent

Filmul per total e ca o joaca de copii. Ca o tabara plina de aventuri, inceputul se aseamana foarte mult cu Harry Potter (Alegerea taberelor, statul la masa in cadrul factiunii). Divergent este prea mediatizat pentru ce arata, este foarte lung (140 de minute) in care totul este foarte previzibil, orice persoane desluseste usor urmatoarea miscare, in plus, nu pierzi nimic daca ajungi in ultimele 30 de minute din film, toata actiunea se petrece acolo (in afara de evolutia personajului principal pe parcurs, dar era previzibila si asta) cu o viteza prea mare, ca si cum ar realiza ca filmul e prea lung, hai sa-l finalizam rapid... Cel mai mult in acest film mi-a placut coloana sonora, fiind un ascultator de EDM am fost bucuros sa recunosc vocea perfecta pentru acest gen de muzica (Ellie Goulding) sau piese de la Zedd si M83. Scenariul si efectele vizuale au fost destul de ok tinand cont de faptul ca eu unul nu ma dau in vant dupa SF.uri. Am inteles ca trebuie sa vad si Hunger Games pentru ca se asemenea, vad apoi care-i mai bun :))

Nota: 8/10

Divergent

Set in a futuristic dystopia where society is divided into five factions that each represent a different virtue, teenagers have to decide if they want to stay in their faction or switch to another - for the rest of their lives. Tris Prior makes a choice that surprises everyone. Then Tris and her fellow faction-members have to live through a highly competitive initiation process to live out the choice they have made. They must undergo extreme physical and intense psychological tests, that transform them all. But Tris has a secret that she is Divergent, which means she doesn't fit into any one group. If anyone knew, it would mean a certain death. As she discovers a growing conflict that threatens to unravel her seemingly perfect society, this secret might help her save the people she loves... or it might destroy her.

Si gluma aparuta inevitabil pe internet

The Grand Budapest Hotel

Filmul este genul de comedie pe care multi nu o gusta (cand am iesit din sala un grup se dadea de toti peretii ca regreta filmul ales), cu umor de calitate care vine atunci cand e momentul, o veselie care o da usor in senil :)). Merge pe genul Feel-Good movie cu structura poveste in poveste, cu efecte foarte bune si muzica bine aleasa, actorii joaca destul de bine rolurile, actori foarte cunoscuti, dar cu roluri marunte si foarte amuzante (exemplu Bill Murray) cat sa-i puna in valoare. Decorurile de asemenea foarte ingrijite si bine alese, ies puternic in evidenta.
Actiunea se deruleaza foarte rapid, dar nu te lasa in urma daca pierzi un moment.

Nota: 10/10

Hotel Grand Budapest

GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL recounts the adventures of Gustave H, a legendary concierge at a famous European hotel between the wars, and Zero Moustafa, the lobby boy who becomes his most trusted friend. The story involves the theft and recovery of a priceless Renaissance painting and the battle for an enormous family fortune -- all against the back-drop of a suddenly and dramatically changing Continent.

Roz, asa, simpatic :)) 

Dallas Buyers Club

Un film demn de Oscar/Globuri (ca deh, de aia a si luat premii) in care McConaughey interpreteaza foarte misto rolul unui bolnav de SIDA, de asemenea si Jared Leto in rolul lui de travestit, also sick. Filmul este o lectie despre viata, ambitie, prietenie si lupta cu o boala crunta, dar si cu sistemul medical american care-si cam facea de cap cum dorea. Este un film care poate fi recomandat si haterilor, celor care au o problema cu homosexualii/travestitii si tot ce tine de acest aspect pentru ca filmul nu pe asta pune accentul ci pe acea lupta cu boala si modul in care cei doi aleg sa-si construiasca viitorul constienti de boala pe care o au. Daca reusesti sa te pui in rolul personajului principal si sa "joci" viata in modul lui, you're cool !
Chiar daca filmul are 2 ore, te tine in scaun atent :D

Nota: 9/10

Dallas Buyers Club

In 1985, in Dallas, the homophobic electrician and rodeo rider Ron Woodroof is a smoker and cocaine and alcohol user that frequently has sex with hookers and promiscuous women. When he faints in his trailer, he is sent to the hospital where Dr. Sevard and Dr. Eve tell him that he is HIV+ and will die within thirty days. Ron also meets transgender Rayon, who is drug addicted that also has the disease. Ron does not accept the diagnosis but a couple of days later he realizes that it may be accurate. He researches about the disease and learns that AZT might be lethal for infected people. Further, he discovers that in Mexico there is a doctor with revoked license named Vass that uses alternative drugs in the treatment of AIDS. Ron improves his healthy and decides to sell the drugs in Dallas. He makes a partnership with Rayon and soon he creates the Dallas Buyers Club, where the memberships pay four hundred dollars per month to have the necessary drugs. But the FDA does not accept his research and he is oppressed by the authorities.

The Butler

Alta recomandare facuta de o persoana draga mie, un film interesant care iti ofera o perspectiva ampla si diferita a problemei rasismului. Un film care trebuie cu siguranta vizionat datorita acestei povesti dramatice, poveste ce se intampla de-a lungul a multor generatii de presedinti, traita prin sufletul unui majordom de culoare, un om care a trecut prin toate greutatile ce i s-au ivit in viata si a reusit sa se descurce admirabil pana la finalul ei. Totusi, consider ca si unul din cei doi fii ai lui a avut un rol important in schimbarea miscarilor din tara, fiind o fire rebela, insa tot meritul ii revine lui Cecil. Tinand cont ca povestea are ca baza un caz real, este un alt motiv pentru care acest film trebuie vizionat. Cum spunea un prieten, ca tot se potriveste in cazul de fata: " Obama a fost singurul negru care a intrat in Casa Alba fara mop "

Nota: 10/10

The Butler

Cecil Gaines was a sharecropper's son who grew up in the 1920s as a domestic servant for the white family who casually destroyed his. Eventually striking out on his own, Cecil becomes a hotel valet of such efficiency and discreteness in the 1950s that he becomes a butler in the White House itself. There, Cecil would serve numerous US Presidents over the decades as a passive witness of history with the American Civil Rights Movement gaining momentum even as his family has troubles of its own. As his wife, Gloria, struggles with her addictions and his defiant eldest son, Louis, strives for a just world, Cecil must decide whether he should take action in his own way.

              Mi-am permis sa aleg alt cover pentru prezentarea filmului, mi se pare mai elocvent acest poster.

Last Vegas

Am vazut acest film cu unele din cele mai dragi si importante persoane din viata mea si ma bucur de acest lucru (Cinema Florin Piersic @ Cluj), o comedie savuroasa cu 4 actori deosebiti, pe care sincer nu i-as fi vazut jucand impreuna intr-un film de genul asta, un fel de Marea Mahmureala cu Robert de Niro, Michael Douglas, Morgan Freeman si Kevin Kline, dar mult mai reusit. Cei 4 fac o echipa perfecta si comedia este una reusita... E genul de film pe care trebuie sa-l vezi neaparat la cinema impreuna cu o gasca mare de prieteni, o sala de cinema care sigur va fi plina la refuz si se va amuza copios la orice minut din film. M-as intoarce in sala de cinema alaturi de gasca mea de prieteni in orice moment pentru a revedea acest film.

Nota: 10/10

Last Vegas

The Rat Pack may have once played the Sands and Cirque du Soleil may now rule the Strip, but it's these four who are taking over Vegas.
