Eu când vreau sa fluier, fluier (2010)
Unreal characters. Fake dialogs. Crap directing. Bad acting.
Must mention i laughed myself to the proximity of death when reading the first post. "A movie not for everybody, but a remarkable and intense drama,". it should have said "unless you're mentally challenged you won't like this movie".
The thing is most movies aim to get the watcher emotionally involved in the actions. Either by making them identify to one of the characters or one of the good old' memories. This movie fails at both. Basically its just like witnessing another guy reading a book. You have no emotional state at all.
First of all, the camera guy appears like a pure rookie, always missing focus on some key details that could later prove to be relevant. Secondly, the language is poorly though-out, the dialogs are fake and unreal. I think you can see broad daylight through the wholes in the script. Acting just adds up to the big boring picture,and above all, it is precisely their failure that makes this movie this bad. I felt asleep 4 times while trying to watch this.
I'd give it a minus rating, this kind of movies is a disgrace to the founders of cinematography.
Il capo dei capi (2007)
A brutal reminder of the last 3 decades in Sicily, Wonderfully put together.
A magnificent documentary, in 6 parts, that portrays the life of Toto Riina, a simple peasant that grew out to be the head of the Italian Mafia, a guy that has been hiding out for almost 3 decades to the authorities. Arrested and condemned somewhere around '96, he denied the existence of any underground organization like the Mafia and pleaded as being "a simple peasant". 125 million $ were to be taken out from him later on.
The movie has 6 parts, each consisting of 1:30 hours. It was broad casted on the Italian national TV and it was watched by Toto himself from behind the bars.
I can't find a flaw in this movie to be honest, and i've really tried. The action is as expected constructed around the main character Toto, a brutal individual aiming to overcome his "poor" condition. He followed the simple codes of the brutal, ancient world of the Sicilian countryside, where force is the only law and there is no contradiction between personal kindness and extreme ferocity. "His philosophy was that if someone's finger hurt, it was better to cut off his whole arm just to make sure," As he mentions every now and then "the hunger" is what motivates him and . The acting is flawless. The dialogs are well though. The situations are real.
The movie is a brutal reality of the last 3 decades in Sicily.
I gave it 10/10 and i consider this to be a masterpiece of Italian cinematography. Basically it just keeps you in front of the TV for the whole 9 hours.
Definitely a must see!!! Enjoy.
The Big Bang Theory (2007)
Simply awful. Low-class humor, no real plot, no real characters
Must mention i was pointed into this show after "Two and half men" which i consider a real success.
What does this show need ? Pretty much everything. Some real plot, script, characters with profile, personality and social background, less "wanna impress" language that doesn't deliver (considering that language should be the first source of humor) - less pretentiousness, less stereotypes sarcasm is merely nonexistent, the situations are clearly fictional. The characters appear as a cheap joke at a funeral. The scrientific explanations are pushed beyond the obvious, becoming somewhat boring and causing a "yawn" every now and then.The serial fails at making people identify with and become emotionally attached to.Nothing is credible, but everything was clearly pushed too far for marketing purposes. This is a "what to avoid in a movie" kind of series.
The rating i've given is too high for this. Do yourself a favor and Skip it.
Californication (2007)
Humour, Sarcasm, Sex and intelligence, wonderfully combined
Must say i wasn't a fan of David Duchovny. Till i saw this hitting the screeds. It goes like this : Hank is a middle age writer. Or at least he wrote something, some time ago, that was pure gold. He splits with his girlfriend - whom he never married afraid of not becoming another "cliche". He assumed love was everything, till he was cheated on and proved otherwise. He's the perfect womanizer : arrogant, direct, ignorant, lots of balls and always has the right words for any situation in any pocket. He's both what ladies want and men identify with. He's vulgar and grouse, yet caring, gender,tender and gracious. He has a hedonistic approach on life, women, booze and society. Lives a day at a time, facing each problem that arises with humour, sarcasm and pure intelligence.
The level of language is challenging and well put. The lines and the plot are well written, the words are provocative and intellectually challenging. The acting is good. The music is good. The whole movie is good.
To sum it up : The more you watch it, the more you like it.
P.S. I Love You (2007)
An excellent display of a mix drama-love story
One of the best movies to watch if you got yourself the sentimental kind of girlfriend (which at that moment i did). Gets her into your arms immediately (one should only imagine what would come after). But let's get back to the movie.
First of all, the end is not predictable. Most movies go for that these days, mostly failing to achieve it tho.
As i expected this film to fully deliver, it did. Wonderful charismatic actors -i bet girls would find Gerard's accent pretty appealing - outputting a nice play, sweet lines every now and then, marvelous script. Inovative and romantic idea. One of the best dramas to hit the screens lately.
You will be watching a love story with its ups and downs, its passionate moments and its difficult challenges. While not all relationships end this kind of way, its a good suggestion on how to appreciate more what you got(supposing you got anything)while you still got it. Its an exercise of both sentimentalism and romanticism.
Go for it, you won't regret a thing.
Tooth and Nail (2007)
Waste of actors...and a story for the kids
OK, so let's cut it short.
Apocalypse. I understood that part. No petrol. OK, i dig that too. No electricity without fuel ? My intelligence points fingers to the hydro energy, and eolian one. But, it's a movie, so i step over it. Random city - fine with me. They don't have what to eat - mmm, well it was summer and humanity managed to live ~ 4000 years without those specific sources too. Pick the f***ing apple in the tree ??????? Yet again, i'm indulgent, considering it just a small error in brain functioning maybe. OK, monsters kick in (big & stupid kind of human monsters, the message passed to the audience. They are big & got muscles, but that's all, probably). They line up like Australia rugby team. The good guys got a rifle and a gun, yet the rifle isn't used once in the movie.
Pretty much sums it up. Awful waste of time with this movie.
The acting wasn't that bad, but the script is just plain awful. Every single action is predictable.
I wonder how the directors find the necessary money for movies as bad as this one.
Waste of talented actors.
21 Grams (2003)
Just a puzzle, nothing more.
OK, i went to see this movie highly enthusiastic. Saw the rating here, i said, OK it must be pretty good. The story, is as simple as it can be. A woman's family is killed in a car accident, she donates her husband's heart. The new owner of the heart fells in love with her. Nothing extraordinary. No real plot outline. I mean, if you were to put all the script on a linear judgement, you'd probably give it a 1/10. The director went all in on the fact that the movie is assembled as a puzzle, different time frames mixed into one, letting you, who watch it, to get together all the facts. That's actually like giving you something to take your mind from the poor movie rollin.
All i could say is i couldn't wait for those 2 hours to be gone.
Irréversible (2002)
French Movies Suck
OK, so let's start. 2 Ugly fat ass mofos appear in a room, one claiming to have had sex with his daughter. Touching really. I think that part was a cut from another movie. But let's not get sentimental on this one.
Irony out. Nah, just kiddin'. Stepping over the junkie cameraman (i think he originally was a DJ hence the loops with the camera) that awoke the criminal part in me, the movie can be resumed to : Violence, rape, nudity. They brought Monica Belluci in, thinking : Gosh, that chick is probably gonna attract all the men on the world. Epic failure. Even the sex scenes suck, the plot is inexistent, the way of thinking the movie was creative (starting with the end, finishing with the beginning), but lamentably put on the screen.
Every guy who honestly thinks about seeing this movie should get an attorney to sue the director afterwards. Waste of time which is life & money. Typical for a french movie.
PS : My deepest Condolences to those who've had their time killed.
Cloverfield (2008)
Dejavu feeling
The movie basically is just a copy-paste of Godzilla. The little monsters seem very Starship troopers familiar. Where is the imagination, and the creative part in creating a movie/script ?
They went in for too much with the hand-held camera effects, which screws up your eyes. No real plot except for the so called love story - which is not something out of the ordinary these days. They were friends. They realize it was love not friendship. Crisis situation, and he runs to save it, ya right ^__________________^ As a matter fact, you could have a monster go throughout this movie's plot.
This goes like this.
Put a red sock along with white clothes in a washing machine. Turn it on.
Every time you see the red sock, pretend to be scared.
That's my opinion, barely feeling any fear or any emotion at all.
Btw, Why the f*** do all monsters (GodzALIENS or not) pop up in NY ?
Basic Instinct 2 (2006)
Sharon's Movie
well, she looks hot for her age. that we knew without seeing' the movie. The movie is based on sex more than on a real story, the doctor who fell in love with his patient. let's be serious. script sucks. you can know how the movie will end up from the beginning. Though i appreciated the beginning and i thought the movie will be like kick ass. It's like you're trying to sell a gum to little kids. and for commercial issues, u put spaceman's image on it. same happens to this movie. I call it Sharon's Instinct ^^ If a commercial to Pepsi or something would have appeared @ the end, the movie would have been perfect. Commercial like a LOT. i give it a 5
