Hereafter (2010)
If you're looking for something like Hereafter, only immensely better...
As moving HEREAFTER might be(possibly even more due to recent events in Japan), the fact remains that it offered nothing to stimulate our own thoughts and make us to try and draw our own conclusions and our hypotheses. Hereafter is a decent movie on the surface, but once you think about it further than what imagery showed us, you'll get a feeling as if you were watching a vehicle, shiny and well shaped, nevertheless, empty and hollow.
It's a shame that such plot, not original, but still cleverly constructed when it comes to Hollywood, was not used for something more than an author's bare and undeveloped view of afterlife.
Anyway, the purpose of this review was to wholeheartedly recommend you something better to watch, rather than comment on Hereafter. Go and see TROIS COULEURS TRILOGY by Krzysztof Kieslowski. I guarantee you not only you'll enjoy it immeasurably more, but it may as well change your view on how movies should be made and what is it that they ought to dwell on.
Love at First Hiccup (2009)
As I write my very own first review...
i think to myself that the most important thing is an answer on question 'Will I get sucked in this movie, by this movie?' And the answer is, hell yeah! In my case, time flew by, that's how dynamic this film is, especially in comparison to what we've seen lately. And to depict at least a little bit of context for the readers - I'm 20 y old.
Plot isn't that original(I'm referring to genre/theme, not to Denmark version), rather one of many variations, but it's fresh and 'feel good', dialogue could be better but it doesn't seem forced at anytime. Characters are good, some even excellent, like Anya's(Scout Taylor's) dad Roger(Ray Wise)(type of dad we'd all like to have, wouldn't we?), even though he doesn't have big role, and hilarious little Zack(Daniel Polo) too.
As for the 'protagonist and his lovely lady', they exceeded expectations. Victor(Devon Werkheiser) did a good job picturing his role, and Anya as the story progresses(even though in the beginning I thought she's not attractive at all) makes you at least a little bit infatuated with her because, even though she's not stereotype beauty that we see in movies like this, she's really charming.
I'm glad that now this film has at least 1 review, it deserves it.
