Upside Down

Upside Down este povestea a doua suflete pereche nascute in lumi diferite. Filmul este destul de bun si povestea e ok, introul e facut destul de " in graba ", dar compenseaza continuarea. E interesant sa vezi o lume in oglinda, rasturnata, cu oameni mergand pe tavan, sau sa traiesti zilnic cu oameni stiind ca-s deasupra ta si fac cam aceleasi lucruri :)). Actorii au fost buni, au jucat destul de ok. Plotul si efectele speciale sunt destul de super realizate insa final lasa putin de dorit, pe langa faptul ca actiunea se bazeaza mai mult pe relatia celor doi decat pe acea lume rasturnata..

Nota: 8/10

Upside Down

Adam is a seemingly ordinary guy in a very extraordinary universe. He lives humbly trying to make ends meet, but his romantic spirit holds on to the memory of a girl he loved once upon a time from another world, an inverted affluent world with its own gravity, directly above but beyond reach... a girl named Eden. Their childhood flirtation becomes an impossible love. But when he catches a glimpse of grownup Eden on television, nothing will get in the way of getting her back... Not even the law or science!

Now you see me

Filmul are de toate, actiune, umor, drama, un soundtrack perfect, efectele speciale nu lipsesc nici ele. De asemenea e plin de actori cunoscuti care joaca toti laolalta in filmul acesta. Finalul este unul controversat si cred ca s-ar fi putut si mai bine, dar poate e mai bine asa in cazul in care va iesi si partea a doua, asa cum se speculeaza pe internet (in 2014). Filmul are exact efectul unui truc magic, te lasa sa crezi ca stii cum functioneaza, insa cand iti este explicat ramai si tu uimit. Din aceasta cauza vei fi captiv pe tot parcursul filmului. In mintea ma, ma gandesc daca ar functiona asa o emisiune cum au creat ei la noi in tara, dar la ce scandal a iesit dupa ce-a castigat acel mentalist Romanii au Talent, cred ca nu ma mai gandesc :))

Nota: 9/10

Now you see me

Four magicians each answer a mysterious summons to an obscure address with secrets inside. A year later, they are the Four Horseman, big time stage illusionists who climax their sold out Las Vegas show with a bank apparently robbed for real. This puts agents Dylan Rhodes of the FBI and Alma Vargas of Interpol on the case to find out how they did it. However, this mystery proves difficult to solve even with the insights of the professional illusion exposer, Thaddeus Bradley. What follows is a bizarre investigation where nothing is what it seems with illusions, dark secrets and hidden agendas galore as all involved are reminded of a great truth in this puzzle: the closer you look, the less you see.

Broken City

Un film cu tenta politica in care gasesti perfect combinatia dintre mister, crima si santaj. Filmul prezinta un oras care este corupt dintr-un capat in altul. Este un film reusit, cu un scenariu caracterizat de suspans si dinamism, chiar daca subiectul se repeta, insa nu-ti ofera timp in care sa te plictisesti, ceea ce e bine, cursivitate +. Actorii sunt impecabili ca prestatie, lucru normal dupa ce observi numele lor, plus ca se vede ca au avut si alte roluri mai grele de interpretat, lucru ce a facut ca aceste roluri sa le vina ca o manusa.

Nota: 9/10

Broken City

In New York City, detective Billy Taggart goes to court for the murder of the rapist Mikey Tavarez, but the Mayor Nicholas Hostetler and the Chief of Police Carl Fairbanks vanish with an important evidence and Billy is declared non-guilty by the judge but he leaves the police department. Seven years later, Billy is a private detective that lives his girlfriend Natalie Barrow, who is an aspirant actress and the sister of Mikey's victim. His secretary Katy Bradshaw (Alona Tal) is trying to collect part of the debts to save their business. In the week of the elections, Hostetler summons Billy and offers US$ 50,000 to investigate his wife Cathleen Hostetler that he believes is having a love affair. Billy discovers that Cathleen is meeting Paul Andrews, who is the coordinator of the campaign of Jack Valliant, the opponent of Hostetler and favorite in the election. When Paul is found dead on the street, Billy finds that he had been double-crossed by Hostetler and he decides to investigate ...

Beasts Of The Southern Wild

Filmul prezinta o poveste trista insa nu este un SF cum apare el incadrat in majoritatea locurilor unde il vezi. Are un mesaj puternic, acela al conditie umane, transmis cu emotie si cu un scenariu original si cu o punere in scena destul de buna per ansamblu, exceptionala de catre fetita care joaca impecabil pentru varsta ei, pe langa atitudinea adoptata si modul ei de a iesi in evidenta in film. Modul in care ea povesteste inamplarile te plaseaza intr-o viziune interesanta asupra subiectului abordat. Prezinta foarte bine doua calitati necesare omului, curajul si creativitatea. La varsta la care alti copii stau in puf si se joaca printre zeci de jucarii, altii supravietuiesc printre ramasite si din orice lucru realizeaza ceva util... multe s-ar putea scrie intr-un review, dar mai bine descoperi singur vizionand filmul.
Filmul a fost nominalizat la Oscar insa mi se pare ca esti un pic fortata nominalizarea acestuia.

Nota: 9/10

Beasts Of The Southern Wild

Hushpuppy, an intrepid six-year-old girl, lives with her father, Wink, in the Bathtub, a southern Delta community at the edge of the world. Wink's tough love prepares her for the unraveling of the universe; for a time when he's no longer there to protect her. When Wink contracts a mysterious illness, nature flies out of whack, temperatures rise, and the ice caps melt, unleashing an army of prehistoric creatures called aurochs. With the waters rising, the aurochs coming, and Wink's health fading, Hushpuppy goes in search of her lost mother.

Arbitrage

Un film care iti este demonstrata ipoteza simpla in care nimic nu este deasupra banilor. Povestea nu aduce nimic nou, insa filmul este prezentat si regizat foarte bine, te poti atasa lejer de personajul principal in special chiar daca este de partea raului, inseala si este vinovat. Richard Gere joaca foarte bine rolul sau, un loc in care trebuie sa prezinta o serie de trairi emotionale. Finalul putea fi altfel totusi, nu cred ca sunt singurul care nu este de acord cu ideea gandita de regizor (No spoiler :D). In concluzie scenariul este foarte bun, de asemenea si actingul, mesajul insa e acelasi. O replica trebuie retinuta dupa vizionarea acestui film : 'World events all revolve around five things. M O N E Y'

Nota: 9/10

Arbitrage

Robert Miller is a successful financial businessman with a loving wife and a smart daughter ready to take over the family business. Professional secrets involving illegal fraudulent activities start coming out at the same time that Robert's personal secrets take a turn for the worse and threaten to derail everything he has achieved.

About Cherry

Povestea prezista drama unei tinere care traieste intr-o familie saraca si care este nevoita sa faca rost de bani printr-un mod sau altul. Astfel ii ofera cineva ideea de a poza mai provocator, iar de aici pana la a juca in filme pentru adulti mai este doar un pas, pe care-l realizeaza in momentul in care se muta intr-un oras mai mare. Actiunea nu e foarte antrenanta, are un curs chill, lejer, sunt si destule momente incitante, actrita din rolul principal arata chiar foarte bine :>  insa nu este un film extraordinar, este fad, lipsit de orice traire, chiar plictisitor pe alocuri. Filmul este pentru cei lipsiti de inhibitii, un film despre industria porno.

Nota: 6/10

About Cherry

A drama centered on a troubled young woman who moves to San Francisco, where she gets involved in pornography and aligns herself with a cocaine-addicted lawyer.

A Haunted House

O mega PORCARIE, filmul e de fapt o parodie dupa Paranormal Activity, dar pe langa acest film intalnesti o groaza de secvente din alte filme (The Devil Inside). Glumele au tenta sexuala si sunt de autobaza.. la inceput sunt cateva glume facute de Marlon, in rest pleava filmul, dezgustator chiar..

Nota: 4/10

A Haunted House

Malcolm and Kisha move into their dream home, but soon learn a demon also resides there. When Kisha becomes possessed, Malcolm - determined to keep his sex life on track - turns to a priest, a psychic, and a team of ghost-busters for help.

The Rite

The Rite este un film in care binele si raul nu mai sunt niste notiuni abstracte, ci iau o forma cat se poate de concreta. Probabil multa lume se uita/va uita la acest film pentru prezenta lui Anthony Hopkins care are roluri mari in filmele horror, aici insa se putea lucra mai mult la partea de 'horror' care e cam absenta. In prima ora a filmului te poti duce linistit dupa popcorn si bere pentru ca nu ratezi nimic interesant. Daca vezi acest film dupa ce-ai vizionat The Exorcist probabil ca il vei inchide dupa primele zeci de minute, ideea e ca The Rite este mai mult un thriller psihlogic decat un film horror.. but still. Nota pe care o primeste filmul e ridicata de prezenta lui Hopkins, in rest era mai low.

Nota: 7/10

The Rite

Michael, the son of a funeral director grows indifferent to his father and joins a Seminary. On his way to the course completion, he is overwhelmed by a strong lack of faith. His religious beliefs are further jolted when he sees a young girl haplessly dying in a road accident for whom he reluctantly performs the ritual to absolve her sins. His mentor still believes in him and urges him to go to Italy to take an exorcism course hoping that he it would strengthen his faith in Christianity. In Italy he attends a session from Father Xavier who soon becomes aware of his skepticism. As a result he sends him to an eminent Jesuit exorcist, Father Lucas, whose ways though questionable are quite effective. He witnesses the exorcism of a sixteen year old girl but still seems unconvinced. Father Lucas explains to him that it takes multiple sessions over a long stretch of time to completely free a victim from the demon. Despite witnessing some supernatural occurrences during the aforesaid exorcism...

Se vede si din poster cam cine-i bossul in film.

Wrongfully Accused

O parodie buna, are multe faze amuzante, dar cam atat, actiunea este prea incalcita. Leslie Nielsen fiind la vremea lui cam cel mai bun actor de comedie, vesnicul in forma actor pentru comediile de situatie. Are ceva specific lui in toate filmele, om de actiune, are in preajma lui tot timpul femei frumoase, care intra in tot felul de probleme fara a intelege gravitatea lor ramanand impasibil, dar gasind totusi rezolvare intotdeauna :)) Cam asta-i desfasurarea filmului in 2 randuri.

Nota: 6/10

Wrongfully Accused

Ryan Harrison, a violin god, superstar and sex symbol does not want to cheat on sexy Lauren Goodhue's husband with her. Shortly after that Mr. Goodhue is found murdered and Ryan suddenly finds himself being the main suspect. After being sentenced to death he manages to flee while being transferred to his execution site. Now, all the world is after him as he stumbles from one unfortunate incident to the next in order to find the real murderer.

                   Probabil o vorba care ramane vesnic in mintea cinefililor: " a true story based on real events from other actual movies " :)) 

You, Me and Dupree

Acest film se presupune a fi o comedie insa sunt rare momentele in care schitezi un zambet, nu mai zic de momente de ras puternic. Glumele sunt cele obisnuite, repetitive, de parca nu se mai scot glume noi pe taram american. Actorii sunt cunoscuti si joaca acceptabil, Owen Wilson are rolul lui tipic de silly boy insuportabil si cam atat, iar tinerelul Michael Douglas are rol de tata, un rol ce-l prinde bine, dar nu cu aceasta conotatie negativa, de nemultumit.

Nota: 6/10
