Bod obnovy (2023)
American look-alike
I love sci-fi and post-apocalyptic and existencial, and this tries to look exactly like that. The problem is it is just a make believe. The characters are not interesting, you don't care about them, because there is nothing to like them for or hate them for, for that matter. The dialogues are unnatural. Like translated from another language (I viewed the original Czech version), the characters names and organization names are unnecessarily complicated, hard to remember or make sense in the first place. It could have been a good movie if it was not trying too hard to look like something else. Too bad.
Fringe (2008)
similar to "The Outer Limits"
Remember, how always, when an episode of "The Outer Limits" was ending, you wanted more? Well, this is that more. Each episode is separate and somehow they are all connected. New strange weird things happen in each of them and there's something behind it connecting them all. You can watch one or you can watch them all but you will have a great time anyway.
I like this show for two reasons - I always felt like each episode of The Outer Limits deserved "to be continued" and in this show I'm getting that. The second reason is Joshua Jackson. I'm glad that someone finally spotted him and gave him a chance to prove that he has more in himself. He was the best from all of them at Dawson's Creek. He's not the best here, but he has his ways and fits in.
8 of 10 for too simple solutions - sometimes the mysteries are not resolved because the writers didn't know how...
Kunsten å tenke negativt (2006)
Norwegians don't need 150min for a good movie...
I was looking forward to this movie for months. And not because I studied in Norway, but because we are overwhelmed with American love stories, sad stories, catastrophic movies, movies that have to last at least 2 hours and make your body ache with pain. I just wanted to see a movie that has actually something to say, can say it clearly enough and be entertaining at the same time. And it all came true! This film is very much about the fact, that feeling depressed and angry can be sometimes more useful that false positive and light-hearted approach. It helps the pain go away much faster and you can finally, at this desperate and hopeless moment, start a new chapter of your life with a clean slate. Things that we all keep in our minds and are ashamed to think of or even to say aloud are spoken and discussed vividly here with all the logical consequences. And with all this said, you will rather laugh through out this movie than cry or have deep thoughts. They come later :-)
King Arthur (2004)
A rather unusual view of one legend...
Not being personally involved in worshiping the cult of Arthur, watching this movie is a brilliant history lesson. Who says this can't be the truth version of what really happened? It is neither a dull romance about the 'old' Arthur that stands Lancelot and Guinevere in their way, like in the First Knight, nor is it a fighting and full-of-blood horror like Braveheart. I can't say what is meant by this movie because I didn't make it- I can only say that to me it is about the conflict of feelings and desires. Arthur is balancing on the edge between Rome and Britain, between the responsibility to his duty and the responsibility to his knights. The film is not judging and more than anywhere else, the characters are here to create a complete image of the medieval times and medieval Britain.
