Sennen joyû (2001)
"Citizen Kane" of the anime industry
Millennium Actress masterfully executed film, an art film and the best representative of modern Japanese animation. One of the one and only movie so saturated vivid imagery and beautiful soundtrack that can make you cry. When I watched this movie last night - date reviews - proved helpless to control their emotions.
Who truly appreciate the film Millennium Actress I think it is important to analyze the history / story without writing "spoilers", so as not to ruin your first viewing.
So the story about the director Genya Tachibana, who comes to visit with his assistant operator to the once popular and still great actress Chiyoko Fujiwara movie to make a documentary dedicated to her interview . From this point the narrative style is a biography of this woman's life in the wreath with her roles in the films , the plots of which are closely linked with the history that happened to her as a child. This story of a little girl Chiyoko meeting with the artist - dissident, hiding from the Nazi authorities. Literally pushed their fate. She helped him hide it in gratitude gave her the key and offered to meet in the place where he works on his painting . Over time, Chiyoko accepts the offer to act in films for the sake of traveling the world in search of the man, holding his key .
To interview the actress is like a time machine . She talks about their roles and what happened to her and presents itself as there is now , at the same time director Genya Tachibana and his assistant " follow" it. This narrative style mix that was actually with Chiyoko and what was in the movie, but it is always a he. Different images , scenery , music, but the story is the same.
Journey actress in life, "which leads its audience wherever movies have not led" to the final summing up and leaves an impression as a tribute of admiration and love of life.
I strongly recommend that you see Millennium Actress, if you are from those who are looking at the art of cinema and sure almost 100% sure you will not stay indifferent.

Metro (2013)
The final stop
Strangely enough, but this new domestic film has neither intrusive nor «productplacement' well, no mugger or special guest stars from the west (Delon, Trejo), who do not read the script, and look only at the amount of the fee. And even Russian critics, surveying the film gave him good reviews (17 positive reviews to 3 negative) In the three-dimensionality of negative criticism of the characters and as it turned out they did not exaggerate.
The main characters of the film. Garin (Sergei Puskepalis). Daughter father, a surgeon, a dedicated doctor, day and night is very busy in order to provide his family a decent living. Here we see how he saves the boy as he deals with his daughter, he is faithful to his family and to his wife even though her infidelity, it knows about (described below in more detail). Writers movie direct text called it "chode." Seriously. He comes into the car of the train, standing in front of the window and reads on the glass either scratched, or painted finger on the cold glass the word "nerd." To which our hero smirks looking down, as if resigned to the fact that it is about him, thinking, "Yes, yes, I am"
Irina. Garin's wife (Svetlana Khodchenkova). From the very beginning of the film we are shown her in bed with her lover. She has an orgasm and suddenly remembers that she has a daughter and a husband who loved her and wrong what she was doing. After that, she's forgotten all about it and lust takes its toll. In general this is all that can be said about the character Khodchenkova. Of course, in addition to that, she goes to work, too, brings money to the family, where she has a true "friend" (that's in quotes) which shares with her scrubs and face creams for the skin, and her friend informed her cheating husband, and details of its private life tells her directly what she flirt, a bad mother, and that word with the letter "N" on the heroine Khodchenkova offended, go away, but the cream and facial scrub takes in his arms.
Wife's lover Garin. Konstantinov (Anatoly Bely) just a wealthy young man with an uncertain activity with the expensive car, foreign car, wants her to be with him.
The most disgusting, that's all that can be said about the three main characters of the film "Underground", and further, these characters can not be explaining themselves. Other faces of the film they are either the same one-dimensional (a thief in the subway, a smiling policeman grim policeman, rescue officers, a drunkard and a subway worker two in one "Sergeeich") or just the extras half of which will be lost under the yelling and touching music.
As a result, disaster film frustrating not bad shots or unreality, a character who does not want to sympathize, because they no. There is truth young couple Dennis and Alice who ironically want to empathize, why they let the story line and not take up more screen time period pretty interesting.
The Cabin in the Woods (2011)
Familiar and one of my favorite stories.
When the horror genre has ceased to please the audience with new villains and plots in different time release of the film pays homage to the recognized classics. Walk through the history of such horror. In 1986 came even three of the film "Fright Night" by Tom Holland, "Re- Animator" Gordon Stewart and "Return of the Living Dead" by Dan O'Bannon. In 1986 "Fright Night" won the Saturn as the best horror movie surpassing its competitors. It was filmed as though for fans of Dracula and vampire movies. Complied with all the canons and with a hilarious comedy with cool special effects. "Re-Animator" was a modern look at the history of "Frankenstein" and "The Return of the Living Dead" is the most controversial film of all three continued the story of "night" and Dawn of the Living Dead "in a humorous style. 1996 was the year of the movie "Scream" to use a cliché, "Halloween" and the most overrated horror film in the history of the "Friday the 13th." He was dedicated to all fans of the genre of slasher and turns of the canons of the genre inside out and this has become so popular in his day .. In 1999, the Department released Robert Rodriguez with the story plot of "Body Snatchers." In 1998 "The Lost Boys" is also about vampires. In 2010, "Drag Me to Hell," with references to "Zloveyschim dead," but the film was a curse. By the way director Sam Raimi produced remake of the Japanese "curse." It turned out bad.
"Cabin in the Woods" pays tribute to the classic "dead Zloveyschie" Sam Raimi. One of the coolest horror films for innovative photography and special effects. And Bruce Campbell, tough guy. But in fact, in contrast to the "Scream" Wes Craven's here we see very different techniques. The first 20 minutes of the film is an introduction to the style of "Zloveyschih dead." Teens go to the forest to the damn cabin. They are talking. Mention of the map and the road, or rather the fact that there is no road map. Just as in «Evil dead». They come back, start to come off in full, then find the basement, there a book that certainly is cursed. As in the movie Raimi one character out of five said that it is not worth reading, the more so in this book and it is written. Characters receive a warning about the dangers and still read! This is so stupid you say, but you would not have done? It's the same as a teenager in the 80's sitting in a movie theater watching "Halloween" to say: "Do not go there, you were waiting for a maniac! Damn well why did you go here! »: Facepalm: In parallel, they are being watched workers underground research center, controlling the situation by pressing any buttons. Their goal to teenagers died and died spectacularly. Yes they are, and they are also an Image. Center employee laughing, discussing everything that makes teenagers and how they are being killed, and those trying to escape. This is an unusual story, this fact has not been anywhere, in any horror movie. All the colorful characters, dialogues through in many ways I'm sure Joss Whedon is very interesting. In his script characters always look like a family - Avengers, Mission Sererniti, Toy Story. It can create an interesting dialogue between them and then he did a great job.
After the entry is a different horror movie, nothing to do with "Zloveyschimi dead." Lots of blood, there is nudity, good special effects, even though the computer is not much. There is a scene making fun of clichés of the genre of horror. They are not as many as we would like, but they are very clever and most importantly - the end of the movie, you just will not know how it will end until the inspection up to the galleries. This is the first film for the whole year which is really fun to watch. And I was thinking that "Battleship" in no way inferior to the stupidity of "Pearl Harbor," that's all I see this year. Horror genre could again surprise and Joss Whedon to pair with Drew Goddard proved almost as well as Wace Craven 6 years ago.
Tagebuch einer Verlorenen (1929)
The second film of a great historical duet.
"Diary of a lost girl" - the second film adaptation of the novel, supposedly based on a true story, the writer of the last century, Margaret Bome. Received by the press in 1905, is the most famous and best-selling book of women. By the end of the twentieth of its sales has exceeded more than a million copies, making the novel one of the top bestsellers of its time. One modern scholar has called "Diary of the Fallen" "Perhaps the most notorious and, of course, commercially the most successful autobiographical story of the early twentieth century.
Literary sensation. According to the author tells the true story of a young woman forced into prostitution circumstances. At the time of publication, believed to be an authentic book is a diary, but argued only Bome that was its editor. Likewise there has been the emergence of the myth of some novel effects on social reform at the time.
The first screening took place in 1918, director Richard Oswald «Das Tagebuch Einer Verlorenen». To date, the film is considered "lost" and no one in the audience has no opportunity to see it.
The second film adaptation was the work of the so-called "historic duet" Georg Wilhelm Pabst filmmaker and an American actress Louise Brooks. According to rumors, he asked her did not even know, seeing only her picture with a charming and powerful features, a mysterious look. That same year she appeared before him in a few ambiguous psychological drama "Pandora's Box." Both films are emblematic of the German cinema of the late twenties and this despite the fact that the young Brooks at home in the states acted in film punchings, second-rate bands, however, after the Commonwealth with Pabst has signed a lucrative contract with film company «Paramount».
Their duet was a success for both of them. Brooks joined the amazing image of her heroine, expressing regret and despair with a rare subtlety of nature, while Pabst reel filled with memorable, vibrant and accentuate the culmination of events moments, particularly a scene in a brothel, where circling in the dance of prostitutes and their clients share a daughter and a fallen selfish father in a sudden encounter. The story itself, as the film is filled with meaningful scenes. In the episode where the assistant girl's father clings to Meyner Thyme, after which the heroine of Louise Brooks, faints and he was a "dirty" smile carries her into his bedroom, symbolizes the suppression of pure kindness naive girl in front of vicious evil bastard lust. Georg Wilhelm Pabst film can also be partly compared with the early work of director Charles Chaplin. One of the scenes of the film in the penitentiary, which enters the main character, is very ironic and ambiguous context. Girls taking place in this institution re-education, and in fact every day tolerate violent attitude on the part of both the moral and ugly teachers, arrange one evening in a dormitory rebellion, lashing out at their supervisors throughout the crowd with his fists. Similar scenes are in movies of Chaplin, it is in his films where he played the director, when he kicked his foot heroes stupid and evil members of the order, thus showing their relationship to government authorities at the time as a whole, whose policies have complicated the lives of many people.
"Diary of the Fallen" - a psychological drama with realistic events, which is a blow to the selfish bourgeois society in the face of vicious character depicted in the film. The story of the preservation of resilience, kindness, courage, compassion, and love the girl, despite all the troubles through which she had to go through.
The Entity (1982)
Weak film, but not bad.
Horror movie, "Creature," allegedly based on a true story that took place in Los Angeles, California in 1976 with a single mother, Carla Moran and her children enjoyed a certain popularity in the States and then probably due to the increased popularity in the year to film about ghosts and contact people with them. It is likely the studio "Twentieth Century Fox" is not accidental withhold output tape Sidney J. Fury, filmed in 1981 but published in the rent only in 1982 that same year, when he left the cult horror film Tobe Houper's "Poltergeist" on the script by Steven Spielberg.
In the story of a young woman who recently moved into a new home with their children subjected to cruel sexual raped by supernatural forces, a ghost. After this is repeated, and the poltergeist begins to chase her out, almost making her the victim of a car accident. Once in this situation, have to tell Carla psychiatrist about the incident. Of course, he did not believe her, but lets all sorts of dirty jokes to the victim, for example, "to see whether the ghost of pleasure?" Yes, and best friend, a woman is, to put it mildly, skeptical that says Carla.
That's when you watch a movie viewer finds this rather ridiculous plot and implausible than the supposedly real incident. In the end, you even catch yourself thinking that you are the same hypocrite, like all those characters surrounding the heroine. But there can be very useful it is worth noting that while viewing still begin to empathize for the main character in a convincing performance of the actress Barbara Hershey (known primarily for the film "Stuntman" "The guys that we should","Hannah and her Sisters" and the recent thriller "Black Swan") Unfortunately, much of the tension going on the viewer goes only to the final thirty minutes of the film, where scientists are trying to catch a Poltergeist parapsychologists, at the same time, threatening the very life of Carla. At the same time reveals his involvement in the project director of visual effects Stan Winston (Terminator 1-2, Alien), who provided his studio right perception and glamor of plausibility phenomenon unexplained. But if the special effects, by itself, seem naive today, the brilliant acting by Barbara Hershey - and what's in the 1983 science fiction movie festival in Avoriaz (Avoriaz Fantastic Film Festival) received the award for best actress - still impressive.
But even though it's pretty cheap horror movie and, of course, pales by comparison with big-budget hit, "Poltergeist," Steven Spielberg, it still honored to be named three times to date. In a film parody "Scary Movie 2"; Martin Scorsese called "The Entity " one of the best horror movie, read the 11 tapes of this kind, where the tape with Barbara Hershey took 4th place between The Uninvited (1944) and Dead of Night (1945); as well as music by Charles Bernstein for this movie film Quentin Tarantino borrowed for his "Inglorious Bastards".
Metropolis (1927)
More in an original way the Matrix — more abruptly than Blade Runner.
Giorgio Moroder version.
In 1927, director Fritz Lang's set on the novel by his wife and collaborator Thea Von Harbou script ambitious sci-fi film, which became a cult and had a significant impact on the development of cinema as a whole.
In 1984, the Italian composer Giorgio Moroder, permanently settled in Hollywood, has mounted a new restored version of "Metropolis." Wrote new music for the film and brought to work on the musical accompaniment of such famous artists as Freddie Mercury, John Anderson, Pat Benatar and Bonnie Tyler.
Before you see the film, setting the issue - which version of the film's look? Though actually I lie, no choice between Gottfried and Hupperttsom group Queen, I did not put in front of, and immediately stopped at the last, to Giorgio Moroder version. Do not think of a prude and puritan, but clip rock 'n' roll music closer to me than an orchestra. Well I'm 40 years old or something to listen to bands - Give me Bonnie Tyler, Pat Benatar yes!) Moreover, it is worth noting that the tracks chosen not anyhow, but very smoothly and consistently with respect to the image processing tape. Here we see one of the first scene in the movie the main character meets a girl Mary, that is, simply, with a beautiful girl in the world Mary and the crowd of small children around her. At this point, begins to play the song «Here's my heart» Pat Benatar. It's just an amazing combination, I tell you. This is not a scene two-thirds of this successful merger of the soundtrack with visuals. Throughout the film, more film versions of Giorgio Moroder, we see this successful combination of one another.
Retell the story too much - all will see themselves and see that you owe. I can only say that "Metropolis" by Fritz Lang, this thriller and love story, a drama about the conflict and human morality and the desire to create, and a fascinating dystopia.
One of those films that capture the imagination. Definitely look not once, not once listened to the soundtrack to this movie.
Bride of Re-Animator (1990)
It's really worst sequel ever!
I sincerely want to believe that at the end of the first film did not die the hero played by Jeffrey Combs and producer Brian Yuzna the picture itself. At least in this case, nobody would have seen two sequels shot them and are purely for human well is not possible to look at.
The second film begins in Peru, where Herbert West and Dan Cain are the nurses volunteered during the Civil War. For them, this is the right place. Soldiers are dying on the battlefield - their bodies a good place for new experiments to revive the dead flesh. At the same time the audience will think - as West could survive after the massacre in Miskatonik? He received no reply - in the film is simply not explained. Then something goes wrong with an animated corpses of soldiers attacking our heroes, a tent, where they conducted their experiments, covering heavy fire. All out of control and they have to go back to the U.S. in that same hospital, where they regain their jobs as doctors and continue the experiments already there.
Dr. West, who successfully revived the dead in the first film, the second part is already experiencing difficulties. Those corpses that they, along with his friend steal from the morgue hospital, are not suitable for experiments. Dan Cain is going to get away from the West, but he manipulates them, and invites him to create a whole person, using the dead of heart and a dead girlfriend Megan Halsey Dan. At the same time it turns out that the head of Dr. Hill is not dead. It is alive, safe and even learned to fly thanks to the efforts of one of the doctors at the hospital, which found that very head, and that in turn it mesmerized. And nothing in the first film from the head of Dr. Hill made a pancake. Next, head to gather the dead and the army will attack the hero and all this nonsense will end all the same slaughter only been in the basement, where our heroes have been experimenting. Our West dies ... again, but appear in the third film in the same way. He will just live, without any explanation. In short Yuzna did not reinvent the wheel and copied all the stupid from the first film, calling it a sequel. But it is the most stupid sequel that I have ever seen. Like, how was the idea of the film to sneer Robert Wise's "The Bride of Frankenstein" in the same way as the first film was a parody of the classic horror film "Frankenstein," but it seems that the authors do not even try to continue and everything is reduced to pure trash where there is no logic or sense.
Let's first film, and could not compete with such horror films as "Something" and "Halloween," but it could easily be put right up there with films such as 'Escape from New York" by John Carpenter. "Reanimator" has not been a brilliant representative of the genre, but, nevertheless, became a classic. The second film was almost as bad as all the other films Brian Yuzna, and Stuart Gordon, director of the first film, in the end he rolled to the trash, taking off one after another second-rate movies. However, a third rescuer, released 13 years later, was even worse ...
Bubba Ho-Tep (2002)
Bruce Campbell is hilarious!
Star 80's cult legend trilogy, "Evil Dead" Bruce Campbell returns to new roles for themselves in the sparkling comedy of horrors. Here he appears before the audience in the role of Elvis Presley, who as it turns out, is not dead, and spends the rest of his days in a nursing home in Texas.
Days fleetingly fly. Every day, our hero spends buried in a pillow, neck and bottomless eyes staring at the ceiling. From his bed he could not stand up as a young man fell off the stage, singing one of his hits. He is convinced that he is that neither is Elvis Presley, the same legend of rock 'n' roll. Nurse, and courting his girlfriend, who had come for the things his father, a neighbor of the protagonist in the ward, departed to another world, only half-witted grin on the stories the old man. The only person in the shelter, which he believes - it's thirty-fifth President of the United States John F. Kennedy ... a black middle-aged man who, at least, thinks so. In a word a related soul our Elvis. He poisons him tales that had been stolen and replaced with sand brain, but he can still think, albeit not as much as before. At the same time, as it seems, are preparing an attempt on him, Lyndon Johnson himself!
Elvis said to him, he's dead!
What John F. Kennedy says, it will not stop him ... lol
But the saddest thing that manhood King "not working" by making our Elvis howl, "Oh youth, where are you my youth!" All this had to suffer for our hero every day. And so it would be until death, if one day in the quiet corridors of the orphanage began to occur not murder.
The film mixes a three genres: comedy, horror and lyrical drama. The third fell entirely on the shoulders of the "king" of comedy horror 80's Bruce Campbell, with whom he deals on all 10 points. His character is interesting - funny, dramatic, very silly in his monologues. True, in contrast to films Raimi, whom he actually became famous Don Coscarelli tape is not always successful as a comedy thriller, there are some "ups" and "fall", some viewers still have to be bored, but thanks to the excellent performance of the title role in the film character and Ossie Davis (John Kennedy), this is more than covered by this shortcoming. In general, turned out pretty good, at the "rescuer" Stuart Gordon. Here is a funny dialogue, the unusual background of the Elvis Presley after his "bathing in the glory," and until he was in a nursing home, and good black humor. But at the time of viewing, I did most of the time right after dying of excitement, looking at Bruce. He is truly inimitable.
As the verdict: if you love Bruce Campbell (as well as I love him) and the trilogy «Evil Dead» you should definitely watch this film. This is a good comedic horror film and a triumphant return wonderful actor 80.
Subway (1985)
Romance of the Paris metro
The subway is perhaps the most bizarre place for a love story. Metro station - a place where there is usually tired from the bustle of this world and it is here that turned a beautiful love story. Thus, the film is doubly interesting. She is wife of the wealthy, he is - a thief who steals her husband's important papers, but not to cash in on them, but only for the next meeting, for any reason for it. To hide from the people of her influential husband, he goes to the Paris subway, where they live bright unusual characters.
The silent drummer, always knocking on what gets into the performance of Jean Reno. Man on roller skates, who lives on theft in the performance of Jean South Anglade. The black cool guy of the impressive sizes. Police captain played by Richard Borinzhe. At what his character is really funny. He was making fun of his two subordinates, who are complete dupes, manage to miss the "man on roller skates" literally at your nose.
Finally he joined Fred to them to create a musical group. The film turned out very bright thanks to directing and music by Eric Serra. He wrote the excellent tracks in this picture. He also wrote music for the film "GoldenEye" James Bond.
Lambert played the role of eccentric romance with the ultra cool hairdo like his girlfriend in the film Adjani.
Besson took a picture of undying love in an unusual entourage. Perhaps one of the most stylish romantic drama 80.
Re-Animator (1985)
Favorite movie of David Bowie
The first time I looked, "Re-Animator" Gordon Stewart, it was during the time of VHS, he did not call me if any special delight. Although I have heard that it is a cult horror film, as well as many flattering words about this film. Image left me indifferent in other words. Rather strange entry for the positive feedback, is not it? Today, during the Internet you can learn a lot, including about the past. What was my surprise to see an expanded version of this movie (though in reality it involves only one cut scene), as well as the documentary "Resurrection of resuscitation" in one of the places of the world wide web. To all this it turned out that American critics is, no joke, called "rescuer" highly artistic horror to the same at the time this film received a special prize critics in Cannes, France and beyond, even some prizes and let the less important festivals science fiction movie. Perhaps because of that new thing I learned about this movie, I decided to reconsider it. "Sometimes it is useful to return to once he had seen tapes - not just to the decades to adjust their opinion about a particular cinematographic works, which, like the time change: something lost and something, by contrast, acquires" (c) On the other hand, I feel "at ease", to borrow the words of the Sergey Kudryavtsev review of the movie "451 º Fahrenheit, in 1966 directed by Francois Truffaut, in order to better shall declare his thoughts.
I do not know what was going on, but after repeated viewing today (our days) not only feel a sense of nostalgia, it is likely at the age of (!!!), but ever delight.
Theater director Stuart Gordon after his "success" with Peter Pen at the University of Madison, moved back to Chicago and in collaboration with his wife, Caroline, with whom they placed the pieces in organic theater of his native city, and producer Brian Yuznau (after set up two obscure sequel this tape and a number of not less obscure horror) has organized a film based on the story by HP Lovecraft "Herbert West - Reanimator". It was his first experience in film and unfortunately the most successful (as he likes to say - his personal "Citizen Kane"), not counting all the same good and just as positively greeted by a film critic «From Beyond».
"Re-Animator" - this is above all a very interesting story about obsessed with his experiments on corpses scientist. Largely due to his skills gained in working on the plays in the theater, Gordon was able to convey the comic and drama of this story, not without the help of screenwriter Dennis Paoli, who rewrote the original script by William Norris, a desire to give him a big Gothic elements. After all, in fact, a scientist Herbert West is not entirely worried about the fate of people around him. Its nothing exciting. No morals and no remorse. For example, in one scene in the film one character dies right in front of West and his friend Dan, but our mad scientist did not saddened. Not hesitating for a second he was already considering a new body as "fresh" item for your experiment! «Show must go on» I sang Freddie Mercury / group Queen. No matter who suffers from the next of his experiment - the main thing to continue.
And with all this, the audience still gets to the side and West on human experiences is to him, maybe even more than his friend Dan in his personal tragedy. This is caused not only a talented actor playing fulfill this role - Jeffrey Combs - but his main opponent in the film Dr. Hill performed by actor David Gale (facial features which, as noted by many of the crew, in many respects similar to the features Boris Karloff known for the role of Frankenstein.) Gale's character is much more callous and cold-blooded person than the hero of Jeffrey Combs, and eventually he wants to not only steal the secret of serums developed West, but has dirty thoughts on Dean Halsey's daughter.
And very true solution was to beat many of the film with dark humor. This may not be noticed at the first viewing, but the characters, most often the hero, sometimes utter such ridiculous and implausible sentences, like the one that said Dan West on the dead cat, it's hard not to laugh.
And yet, despite the fact that what is happening on the screen like crazy (but fun), a farce with the revived corpses and copious bloodletting, there is a really amazing actor sketches. Heroes of the movie you want to empathize.
That, unfortunately, the following films Stuart Gordon, except perhaps the "from beyond", lacks such a zest, black humor, games, actors and plot are with Re-Animator.
In conclusion, I can not say why such a title at the revocation. During the filming of a movie, actor and singer David Bowie ran to the operator Mack Ahlberg with the question, "Mack, Mack, is it true that you filmed Re-Animator? This is my favorite movie! "What can I say, I personally know David Bowie.
Who Was That Lady? (1960)
Ridiculous and not funny
Right to be surprised when you find out that this screwball comedy with extravagant plot ridiculous and childish humor in 1960 was twofold nominated for film award "Golden Globe", namely in the categories of Best Actor and Best Film. If the first tape of George Sidney (Kiss Me Kate) is quite tolerant of his romantic escapades, foolish pretense heroes Dean Martin and Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh heroine's reaction to all this, the next story tape makes a roll in the direction of incongruity is happening that is not only not to laugh want to even see it's not worth it.
It all starts with the fact that Columbia University chemistry professor David Wilson catches kissing a young student in the eyes of his wife, Ann. Wife confronts him and immediately wanted to divorce. His friend Mike comes up with his legend: "FBI agent and he kissed the girl, in order to fulfill its top-secret mission!" For the more convincing it also provides him a fake identity and a pistol. All work is done! Few fool about before her and took off with the blame, our heroes can go on a spree with other women. But here's the rub - Blessed David all took so seriously that starts everywhere to poke their nose in their "cause." She asked with great curiosity, how is service and what it's like to be always on the "knife edge".
The culmination of the first half of the film (which still was a little funny compared to those that started later) will be involved in their game is not clear from emerging Soviet agents and quite shameless and totally ridiculous encompassing theme of the Cold War.
Of course, the movie captivates enjoyable actors. Dean Martin and Tony Curtis lovely man, though not shine here with his skill, and Janet Leigh is incredibly charming, although it is in principle a very beautiful woman, it would be foolish to write this series dignity movie.
The Boondock Saints (1999)
Misinterpretation of Tarantino and reflexes to the pathos of the audience
"The Italian Mafia" and "Russian Crime Syndicate" are a step away from the bloody war in Boston, while a couple of Irish guys with his friends beat coming to them in the pub thugs, who in turn would give them the beer itself. After the movie characters - two Irish brothers - met with the same thugs at home in his apartment, and very pathetic kill them. For this they get into a prison cell and there, quote, "One day they was enlightened: God himself had sent them to the ground on a special mission by giving the holy power to cleanse the world from evil." So in other words, based on two adult man Hard beds in a cool jail cell and then sleep through them becomes the Almighty with the message "soak in all the scum in the city." There. Such a description ... Stop! I find the idea of a plot of this movie stupid?
You know, after you read the description for this film, I think you should not watch the whole thing to see that the very stupid idea of this cold,rustic and too sluggish thriller from director Troy Duffy, the way other producer and founder of Miramax, "Harvey Weinstein, which was the sole cause of the birth of this film.
After the failure of the "saints" in movie theaters and a release on DVD in the circles of the audience this movie was mistakenly recognized as a "cult" and even replete with reviews in the style of the same in the spirit of Tarantino and Guy Ritchie! ". Stupid and I'll explain why. The film, for all his, as I wrote, it's silly and delusional story devoid of at least some self-irony, witty black humor (which is so characteristic of Guy Ritchie), interesting quotes to classic movies past (it just did could bring together the tape with the style of Quentin Tarantino ) and in the end at least some charm. Apparently the words "in the style of Tarantino's" man in the street understands only the criminal theme of the plot, and a dozen flat "black" jokes.
More on the story ...
At some point, the brothers are taking to his team a third, more "manic" Saint, Rocco (aka actor David Della Rocco), who gives the film a sour, sexist charge from which he would never be able to get out.
Now a team of FBI interest in the saints, in particular Detective Paul Smeker (Defoe), which differs from many other detectives strange behavior. Every time he appears on the scene, where our heroes are visited by the Irish, it comes with a "psychic" connection and repeats all the movements performed by them on the spot. All this takes place under nice-awful "Slow-mo, the sounds of moaning chorus of mourning and pouring the detective later.
Of course, all that pathos of the shootings, and in particular the final credits may cause an ordinary viewer reflex reaction to the perception of the entire movie as a brilliant criminal fighters, and even socially important (!!!) movie that anyone over thirty will cause confusion.
Troy Duffy, a properly noticed by a film critic, this man whom Tarantino would not want to become. During his career he managed to remove only two films, and even despite good sales of DVD and the status of "cult" producers do not want to have anything to do with him, including his friend, one of the founders of Miramax. For this film, at best, be treated as a pitiful parody of "Hard Boiled" in John Woo's "deceptive" wrapped the independent film era of the 90 Sundance Film Festival.
Black Swan (2010)
White Swan and Black Swan. Good and evil. The second will dominate over the former for the sake of art ...
Girl Nina Sayers (Natalie Portman), full of promise, a ballerina of the New York ballet. Her life was entirely focused on dancing, and achieving success in their careers. Is largely due to her upbringing. Mama Nina's Eric (Barbara Hershey), a former ballerina, not having achieved recognition, despite all his care, has a negative impact on the girl smothering control and imposing their own ambitions.
Plot of the story begins with the moment when the artistic director of Ballet of Nina Thomas Leroy (Vincent Cassel) replaces the prima ballerina Beth McIntyre (Winona Ryder) to open the new season production of "Swan Lake".
In selecting the lead role, he seeks not a ballerina and actress who will be able to bring on stage two images: white swan and black swan. Heroine Portman, who can not translate the second image due to its internal "trapped" in a strange way, this gets the role, but as it turned out, Thomas wants by all means unleash its nature, a sexual desire. "Fuel to the fire," she adds Lily (Mila Kunis), in which Nina sees the embodiment of that very black swan. Thoughts and close dialogue seems expensive to achieve the goal - to grasp the essence of assigned roles in the forthcoming statement, but is it true? The plot of the fifth feature film by Darren Aronofsky's "Black Swan" is built on the theme of the possible existence of two sides of personality and rivalry between a man first and foremost with themselves.
The only person standing in your way is you. ©
Judging by the scene, the plot films can certainly blame the film for some of the secondary with respect to the known past films ("All About Eve," "Fight Club", "Lodger", "Inland Empire") that it would be wrong. "Black Swan" is a film, a variation on the same topic, but he has an original in its development and serve the audience on the screen. In a picture Aronofsky the dual personality is good suppression before harm, a white swan before the black swan, restricting self-checking before a freedom. Freedom to which so heroine Natali Portman for the sake of convincing game on a scene of theater of ballet aspires, appears for it secret defects destructive and at the same time captivating by realization, desires and own possibilities. Freedom to which the heroine is so eager to Natalie Portman for the sake of convincing the game at the Theatre Ballet, turns to her destructive and at the same time captivating the implementation of secret vices, desires and their own capabilities.
Video series of films was made in the style of "The Wrestler' a, simulating an amateur video of a combination of surreal fantasies of transforming the image of the heroine movie Nina Sayers.
This inventive in its storytelling film-horror/triller about ballet keeps in suspense until its strange, creepy and compelling finale. Fans of scary tales and crazy stories are unlikely to remain indifferent.
Babe (1995)
Big dream a little pig
Excellent movie for the whole family - on the one hand a sweet and childish, on the other hand a very deep and wise. In childhood, after watching this film, I understood much of the world around me. I realized that dobitsya in this life can be just what you want, as long as it will; realized that to save the honor of "close" and his own, even if you "pig" and, of course, and put in front of big plans, despite those who do not believe to you.
This painting is for James Kromuela has become one of the best in his illustrious career as an actor. He played a reasonable person, and one side believes in its strength and power cheteveronogo baby. He put his credibility at risk in order to not only win but also to prove to himself that he was not mistaken in this little pig. This is not such a simple man, as we see it early in the film. The viewer sees not the usual "derevenschinu, but closer to the middle, he opens his new side. In his heart he was a child and believes in fairy tales, and this move at the end of the movie is something amazing.
This movie seems ridiculous to doubt both children and adults well, perhaps that will want to smile a couple of scenes. The film is very bright and has been nominated for several Oscars - the right to pleasure that he was so highly valued, as he so well deserves. The film sometimes sad, funny, so where is almost a philosophical idea of the equality of all beings, whoever they are. This is a very life-affirming movie at "Forest Gump" and "Groundhog Day"
Oldeuboi (2003)
Always get pay
Everything in this life you have to pay - this is the meaning of this film. For everything and even what you may not consider serious or do not understand it or do not even want to understand. Have you ever hurt someone because of his talkative, and if you have it so, then I have sympathy, language, laughing at someone else in order to amuse your self-esteem, spreading a bad rumor about a good man then know that it will take 15 years , 30 years, it does not matter, but you have to pay for your actions. And before you think about revenge, that you may not have such a hero in this story.
This neodnaznachnoe (неоднозначное) cinema, art house, but the art just because not everyone will understand and not to each income. Film with strong visuals, music, terrific editing and other technical twists and all at the same time the idea of the meaning of which up to an incredibly profound and relevant as ever. The movie is not about what the world is no good and no bad people, and that every action has a reaction, according to the abstruse Newton's third law.
If you compare this movie is only from the film "A Clockwork Orange by Stanley Kubrick. In Oldboe as a succession of very severe bloody scenes hiding food for thought, food for thought. You should not be afraid of the forms of this product you should get the gist. History is made so that the audience gradually starts to think about all the above things. First, it is very easy, then hard, then mixed, and then you think about your own actions in their own lives.
Well, all these words do not mean anything to you. But the fact that the film is included in the top250 best movie website IMDb, is a better picture of the year, according to Quentin Tarantino, a member of the jury at the Cannes Film Festival, which was presented this film and, finally, a movie that will leave a serious mark on your heart. For you it means nothing? You do man?

Kick-Ass (2010)
Blow mind
Another adaptation of comic books? Oh, how everything has gone crazy for the comics! Cinema occupied unsuited cartoon characters of novels. Some radioactive spider bite, and they are finding a fantastic effect, soar over the heads of ordinary passers-by. Other masters, almost single-handedly, an iron suit and give himself the nickname Iron Man, fighting against terrorism. And, of course, colorful costumes, which, probably, will soon come into vogue. That we have this season is popular? Spring-summer season. Please, give me a wetsuit of Kick-Ass ... What? And the costume is a Black Widow? My wife size there? Hit-girl costume for my daughter ... Save the deal?
That's the main character, perhaps the most extraordinary, unusual, shocking, and simply stupid(and maybe still stupid?) Movie in 2010 Dave Lizevski decided to try onthe role of superhero. Only took to the streets with a belligerent look and a fanatical desire to do stupid good as received from some bandits stabbed in the groin. And then it all and the car was hit. Heroic everyday ... oh. Then you know not to save the galaxy, huh.
Refer to the "Kick-ass" very seriously you do not get, but stupid movie just will not name. He is somewhere in the middle between the "Funny Games," Haneke and easy "American Pie". Picture every now and then goes from one genre to another, confusing the viewer. In «Kick-Ass» will be discussed on the responsibility for his actions, the choice of roles in his life (who you are pathetic red mist or still Kick-ass?), About the destination and want to see that all the terms that I now have listed, never will hear from the mouths of the characters. Do the creators of tape got to balance between comedy and fierce fighter, but not every viewer, even with all the incredible flatness of the film, will be able to perceive the story.
The question that defines the film's hero Dave Lizevski moron, "Can there be a superhero in real life?" In the movie is not the main. There are a lot of moral superhero that somehow almost sacrilegious way sometimes transmitted through toilet humor. In the worst moment of the film, and did make laugh. And can not help but laugh when Matthew Vaughn and his team threw a stone in the garden of American culture? What would have thought Superman before the last moments of my life, do you think? Why did not I started a family? Why do not I build a house? Why am I not planted a tree? Why am I this stupid costume and I like the last idiot circling Empair State Building? Why could not I watch the last series "Lost"? ..
Kick This is not complete. He is controversial, unconventional, then funny, then sad, ultra crazy, ultra violence and sometimes even cute. Kick your brain, let alone a full "Kick-ass" or not, everyone decides for himself.
