Ticket to Paradise (2022)

Early 00's romantic comedy essence!

[7/10 · 15 September 2022]

If you are fed up with all these Netflix comedies lacking of humour having actually push yourself to crack a smile " Ticket to Padise " will definitely make things easier for you.

It was a relief to watch a rom com that had fast paced just to the point dialogues. The staring couple was great. Their long last friendship had them feel comfortable with each other so they had a great connection in front of the cameras. Roberts is one of tbe best actresses ever in a variety of genres but romantic comedies will always have her as their Queen!

So if you are looking for a ticket that gets you a couple of hours of joy and relaxation this movie is the answer. Enjoy!

Ghostbusters: Answer the Call (2016)

Don't know why on earth some audience reviewed it so badly!

[8/10 · 22 August 2016]

Being a huge fan of old Ghostbusters movies and after reading all the bad reviews i went to the cinema with low expectations. Maybe that was the right thing to do in order to enjoy a film that after all did not premiered as a life changing movie project but as an entertaining way to spend your time! And this is exactly what it achieves! It's a humorous movie with a really good cast! All four women are pretty decent actresses! Although I'm a condemned Melissa McCarthy's fan I was surprised to witness a comedian talent explosion from Kate McKinnon's and Leslie Jones' side! Chris Hemsworth once again proved to be a very good choice for a comedy role! What i suggest you is to give it a chance. And if you don't like the movie i bet it will be much enjoyable to listen to the incredible Ghostbusters soundtrack one more time while you are driven by your nostalgia!

My Week with Marilyn (2011)

M.Williams is M.Monroe!!!

[8/10 · 29 December 2011]

I've always known what a good actress M.Williams is..but i've never believed she could be THAT good! I'm in awe of her talent.Is it too much to say that i consider her to be the next M.Streep? After watching "My week with Marilyn" i don't think it is! You see i'm a huge movie fan and i pay much attention to the way that actors play their characters. Only M.Streep and M.Williams now manage to be the characters they play..not only to act like them. M.Williams for about 100min puts herself aside and gives everything she has to offer Monroe 100min of a second chance in life! Williams becomes Monroe!

I believe that the old Hollywood was full of genuine movie stars with Monroe being the greatest of them and always i've been pouting about the fact that we won't get to "meet" non of them..Thanks to Williams' talent while watching the movie i caught myself lost in her act several times, truly believing she was Monroe!

As for the movie now,it's a good biographical film around the myth of Monroe. With really good cast! The fact that the film is based on true events is what makes it special!

Watch this movie,it surely worths it..meet the legend...and feel free to allow a smile on your face when Monroe-Williams blink an eye on the camera!

Eat Pray Love (2010)

A wonderfully amazing movie!!!

[8/10 · 7 October 2010]

The movie was like....EATING the most tasty food in the world!!PRAYING to find a meaning in your soul!!!LOVING life right from the start!!! Great locations and pictures that were capable enough to travel your mind..actually taste the food...love the man..walk the street!

Julia Roberts once again proved to be a true miracle of our century...a woman so sweet and talented that you simply cannot resist her charmness!!She overtakes you with her acting as well charming skills!!!In her eyes you can see heroine's agony to find what she is missing and the true happiness when she founds it!

Javier Bardem and Julia Roberts have a great chemistry!Bardem plays one of the most attractive roles in his career!!!

This movie definitely deserves to be watched..i hope you'll find a bit of yourself in it! Just relax..and enjoy it!!!

Lars and the Real Girl (2007)

Lonely Lars finds company and ultimately the missing meaning of his life when he meets his real-plastic girl!

[9/10 · 21 November 2008]

There are not appropriate words to describe how this movie made me feel...although its plot is based on a really sad story the way the script approaches this sad story is remarkable and instead of making us feel bad the film actually manages to be quite enjoyable!!! What Lars faces is a problem that applies to many people around us... However,the film through the plot makes us realize how people like Lars feel and what led them to live in shadows and name this "Life"! Although the film has to do with a man who is mentally sick it is funny and friendly!The movie achieves to take us with it and introduce us to a world that seemed so unfamiliar and strange to us before...a delusional world that those who haven't watched the movie might have laughed at and they might never understand and accept!After having seen this movie i feel that i became a bit of a better person who is willing to approach people that seem strange to me and listen to what they have to say..listen if there is anything i can do to help! Watch this great film and leave yourselves be taken by the emotions that film revokes! As for Ryan Gosling...he has shown before that he is an excellent actor.He just confirms it with this upstanding performance!
