When Harry Met Sally... (1989)
Predictable, lame, uninspiring
I am infinity surprised this movie gets good ratings. The plot is mediocre at best, the pace is drawn out and slow, but most importantly, it's sooo boring. After you watch it for 10 minutes you already know how it ends, and if you are expecting great acting, clever dialog, or visually interesting images you will be utterly disappointed, like I was. There are maybe two or so somewhat interesting scenes but that's about all. Also, the actors play their roles as if they don't care, and they really don't. I consider time spent to watch this movie to be a total waste. It's very clear that the purpose for making this film was never to produce a work of art, but instead the goal seems to be to create a product an average consumer would buy. Pretty sad, in my opinion. I don't recommend watching this movie.
Searching for Bobby Fischer (1993)
Excellent movie
Watched it once and loved it. Watched it the second time and loved it even more. It's one of those movies which are a pleasure to watch, both visually and for their story line. It's creative, and very well done. Great movie for all ages, even kids as young as 10 really enjoy it.
Shekvarebuli kulinaris ataserti retsepti (1996)
Flat, unconvincing, full of cliches
A Frenchman in Georgia. This opens up so many possibilities, chances for humor, joy, deep and meaningful emotional engagement. Instead, the film fails to deliver any of the above. The acting of Pierre Richard is OK but so stereotypically French it makes it look like a grotesque (same goes for pretty much all other parts). The other actors are just meh. My biggest problem with this movie is its use of predictable cliches and no attempt to be even remote convincing. There are no nuances, no space for the viewer to explore. If this movie was food it would have been a McDonald's hamburger.
Hors de prix (2006)
Probably the worst movie I've ever watched
The movie is trying to be a sort of romantic comedy but in reality it's one of the most depressing films I've seen. It leaves the viewer with the sense of complete void, it reduces all the things we deeply care about to useless objects offered to be bought and sold to the highest bidder. There is no "happy end" to this story no matter how hard you try. And this is not intentional at all, it's just the people making this movie didn't have the right mixture of what it takes to make a good film. By chance, they created a monster without even realizing it.
The main part is played by "Amelie" which adds insult to the injury. If she became a porn star I wouldn't be as disappointed. I wish she didn't need the money so much.
Bumer: Film vtoroy (2006)
One of the best movies ever
While Bumer 1 was a trivial gangster movie with not much substance, Bumer 2 (or Heaven on Earth) is a mark of a genius. It is very subtle and to an unsuspecting viewer it may seem not much. There is a plot but not much action: no flying bullets, no blood and no revenge.
Nevertheless, today I watched it for the third time and it was even better then the first two. Do you have to be familiar with the Russian culture to understand it? Not really. If you ever felt like the system's got you or if you felt like there is no way out - you'd get it, I promise.
One of my favorite movies so far.
Chloe (2009)
What a horrible remake
So there is a pretty good move called "Natalie" with Emmanuelle Beard. This is a remake but it almost feels like the director had the audience of imbeciles in mind when he was making it. Everything about this movie is wrong and reeks of lies: the plot, the acting, even the way it was filmed.
What a truly horrible film! I think the director should be ashamed of himself for taking part in producing this garbage. It feels like it was all about money and I do hope this movie fails. It smells a lot more like prostitution then any of the characters presented in this movie. Totally worthless, I regret watching it. I will have to watch "Natalie" again to get rid of the aftertaste of this junk.
