Gone Girl (2014)
A dark and unsettling movie.
The first thing I would say about this movie is how good the atmosphere is. Whenever a new scene reveals, your gut tells you something bad is about to happen, and that feeling drags on to the last minutes of movie. David Fincher did a fantastic job directing this movie and made a great adaptation to the book. The cast also deliver a solid performance, enough for you to be in their shoes and empathize with their motives. The movie is a twist of lies, manipulation, media distortion and obsession. The truth of the story is however you want to see it. It's thought- provoking and definitely worth seeing more than once. "When two people fall in love but they can't make it to work. That's the biggest tragedy." This simple quote will be a lot more powerful after you have sit through 2 hours and a half of this movie.
Rurôni Kenshin: Kyôto taika-hen (2014)
Rurouni Kenshin - Heart Of Sword
I am long time fan of Rurouni Kenshin and I love the 1st movie. Here are the good/bad from this movie:
+ Just like the 1st movie, character portrayals (including costumes, fighting poses, characteristics) are very correct, if you know the original story, you will immediately scream "Oh, I know that guy" when someone new appears.
+ Fighting scenes are incredibly good. The right usage of CGI mixed with practical martial arts and sword fighting techniques.
+ The right atmosphere is built up against the villains.
- Too many characters are introduced without giving enough time for development. You will totally get lost if you haven't known the original story.
- The pacing is a little bit awkward.
- Fight scenes seem less creative compared to the first movie.
- Kenshin didn't wear his trademark red shirt the whole movie.
