Horns (2013)
The most boring movie i have seen in years, no exaggeration.
Well... as the title states, this was the worst experience I've had with a movie in years, most of it i was waiting for it to end, mainly because the characters, all of them, were flat and shallow and i could tell exactly were the movie was going, the whole "demonic" theme was completely wasted because it only served to add some "flavor" to the unoriginal, shallow, ridiculous sad excuse for a story it told, there was nothing in any of the characters that allowed me to connect with them, the OH SO DEEP "love story" between the chick (whichever her lame name was) and the dude (whichever lame unrealistic name he has) didn't move anything in me not a single thing in me, i swear i care a million times more about my excrement than their story. And i will tell you the best of this boring drama parade, in the very first scene that the "villain" appeared i said to myself "that guy did it", and you know what happened?... he did... i will not tell you which "character" is off course, buy trust me you will see it coming as well, for such an over-dramatic movie, the director, writer, cast, everyone, completely forgot to make us empathize with the characters, all that "crying" and "suffering"... i really wanted this to end, and i kept my hopes high to the very end in which nothing happened, except the most cliché and ridiculous ending possible.
Horns... i'm not feeling all your drama, try harder next time, actually not harder, because you didn't try at all, just try, because you didn't.
By the way i never read the book, but as a movie this horrible thing fails absolutely, i hated it and i hate myself for making me watch it until the end.
Lastly i apologize for my poor writing i just needed to say this and don't spend anymore of my time thinking about this horrible mediocre movie.
L'autre monde (2010)
The Other World
As you all may already know, the original name of this film is The other world (in french off course) and that i think, is exactly the main idea of this film, but I'm not talking about "Black Hole" which is only the door for Gaspard, the door that leads to that other world where nothing/nobody is clear nor innocent, i love the way how this movie transforms from a romantic teenage naive story to this dark strange hybrid that turns out to be, so in my opinion the movie succeeds in showing us Gaspard's trip to that other neighbor complex almost non-moral world of Audrey and Vincent. I think Black heaven is an interesting different movie, it is fun, it is clever at parts and is well done, ironically it is still a bit naive even during its darkest moments.
Your Highness (2011)
Hilarious movie!!! (not really any major spoiler in this review)
I saw this movie alone and i had a blast! i didn't expect much from it... at the end i was extremely satisfied by it, i laughed all the way to the end and much like Pineapple Express it is FULL with subtle GENIUS little details of comedy that are only present in fine well written clever comedy (even though people that don't get it might not understand the idea and think this is a dumb movie, it is not) Near the end, when Thadeus is threatening Isabel and he asks her to look over her shoulder and we see Courtney playing with a dwarf completely distracted but sincerely enjoying himself (and there is no sex reference nor scatological humor in that part) that moment... is terribly funny and delightful and could only be present in a carefully well crafted movie by people who care about what they are doing and definitely want us, the viewers, to have fun with it. A couple of days later some friends came over to my place and i was so excited telling them about this movie that i could not pick what part was the best to tell them so i invited them to see it, so we did, and it was a lot of fun again! even more entertaining with some friends to share it with, anyway my point is... this movie delivered greatly and way beyond my expectations and it is marvelously crafted. If you don't like laughing nor swords nor dragons, etc. don't see it! and if see it anyway don't give it a bad review because it is clearly a great movie.
Oh BTW one of my friends said, if this movie wasn't a comedy it would be a good movie too (regarding production, acting, art department, etc) and then the other one said, it is a good movie but it is also a hilarious one, and that can NOT be bad.
Source Code (2011)
Worst ending ever! movie should start at the end...
well... first thing i did after i finished watching the movie was to google this: "what about Sean Fentress?" and that is exactly why i think this movie is a mindless optimistic pseudo romantic nonsense rubbish series of irrelevant flirting moments mixed up with some "action sequences" because in the ending the good guy does not die... he gets to lives in this parallel universe or whatever mister Duncan can call it and gets the chick... and... they live happily ever after? WHAT ABOUT THAT POOR SAD LOSER FENTRESS! OR MAYBE HE WAS A WINNER! A MUCH BETTER PERSON THAN COLTER, HE MIGHT HAVE EVEN BE A LOT MORE INTERESTING! may be Fentress was going to contribute to humanity in a vastly more important way than Colter... or whatever. My point (and the point of many who have seen this flaw too) is this: How will Colter and even more importantly Christina, live happily ever after? he should have to hide his real identity for the rest of his life and never see his father again... even though he is now alive and loves the old man SOOOOO MUCH! and Christina will share her life with a body-snatcher of sorts?
this must be the most stupid ending ever.
If the movie started at the end... i mean, how will Colter manage to live in another's man body (and life)? well that is a more interesting idea than an all American life saving terrorist fighter living dead torso (BTW... that must be the saddest idea ever... when i saw the "other" colter still in that DISGUSTING capsule, i felt terribly sorry for him and nauseated by the whole idea.
I liked moon, and i thought the director was a clever refreshing new artist, even though i felt the movie was a bit pretentious, now i think this guy is just a bit mentally challenged... BTW check YOUR HIGHNESS is a MEDIEVAL COMEDY! with James Franco in a comedy role! that cant be wrong! and it is not!
oh... another idea that defines Source Code quite accurately, people in the post-apocalyptic world of Idiocracy would probably love it.
and we should all get together to mourn Sean Fentress, google it... I'm not the only one complaining!
