Jennifer’s Body (2009)

admin — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 11:56:48 +0000

When the first trailer of Megan’s horror movie “Jennifer’s Body” was officially released a lot of people signed the waiting list for watching the film. If in “Transformers” you have the chance of seeing Megan Fox scared and hot, in this one Megan Fox isn’t scared anymore but very very creepy and scaring. I could say the film is close to past movies with urban legends and some people said before it, that Megan Fox has walks only with the body through Hollywood. I do not agree. The actress makes a good part although the movie is scary only for children.

Lock Stock and Two Smoking’ Barrels (1998)

Archie — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 15:21:45 +0000

One of Guy Richie’s main references, this movie is definitely in my top 50 list. The action is about 4 young British lads, who make cash doing small time street scams. In their try to change their luck by entering a highly dangerous card game, they mix themselves with the town’s big boys. The action is changing very quick and you never know what’s around the corner. Follow the dialogs and the characters carefuly and you’ll find it all quite funny. I think I know some parts by heart )

Requiem for a Dream (2000)

Archie — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 09:41:27 +0000

Real shocker for me first time I saw it. Not suitable under a certain age in my opinion. I like watching this from time to time just to get a “slap” and reset the way I regard some of the things around me. The actors didn’t have to try very hard, but the director did a smashing job. The story features 2 different types of drug addicts: the legal and the illegal ones, and puts them in parallel showing us, using sometimes explicit images, where you might end up in search of your fix. Also you might recognize some of the soundtrack.

Revolver (2005)

Archie — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 09:40:00 +0000

Every time I watch Revolver I find something new, and when I don’t find something new, then I discover a new meaning for something old. Very very difficult to describe this movie. Most of you will say “What the f*** was that?” after watching it the first time. So that just might be the best reason to sit down and watch this. Don’t be fooled by the classic Guy Richie – Jason Statham mix. You will not expect what’s expecting you. And the best part: it feels the same every time !

The Beach (2000)

Archie — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 09:08:17 +0000

It is probably one of the few well-known movies that hasn’t win any big award. It’s “The Beach” with Leonardo DiCaprio and it’s one of the actor’s biggest roles. Some people say that paradise has it’s price and in his way for finding the paradise island Richard meets a couple convincing them to travel with him. When he arrives on the island Richards finds out he must never speak about it or show the map. It is not a movie that will entertain you but it is a film that work for relaxing techniques.

Into the Wild (2007)

Archie — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 13:48:15 +0000

Touching movie, wherever or whoever you are. Based on a true story, this movie is set for drawing attention. Some suburban american kid realizes we don’t actually need half of the things we own or use, and that the simple life, in raw nature, can sometimes be much more rewarding than the hassle and bustle of life in the city and the 21st century. I tend to agree with him, however the end becomes way to predictable beyond a certain point in the movie. Nevertheless the scenery is breathtaking and I would definitely watch this again.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008)

Archie — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 13:34:37 +0000

I’m a fan of Brad Pitt just like most of us out there. But this just did not do it for me. It’s kinda predictable and you see where things are going. No strong scenes. I would recommend this to those of you who like soft sentimental movies. Benjamin’s condition is so out there, and the reaction of people to his illness is not the expected one. It’s OK once but that’s it. I really don’t get what’s all the fuss about except the performance of the actors.

Glengarry Glen Ross (1992)

Archie — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 11:06:46 +0000

I definitely regard this as one of my favorite classics. Huge cast featuring, among others, Al Pacino and Kevin Spacey. The story, is about one episode in the professional life of a group of sales men, each struggling to reach their own targets. Don’t expect visual or sound effects because there are non whatsoever. Watch it as you would watch a theater play and try to put yourself in each of the characters shoes. Anyway, it’s a classic so make sure you treat it that way.

Rock’N'Rolla (2008)

Archie — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 11:04:15 +0000

I want to say this is a disapointment, but I can’t, knowing the other creations of Guy Richie. So, as a solution, I’ll just say that I guess Guy is targeting a little bit of a different audience with this one as it is not that subtle. Still fresh, still funny and still about the British underground business. However the league is different. Now were talking about music producers, real estate investors, serious jail time and millions of quid in thievery. I’m anxiously expecting “The Real Rock’N'Rolla”.

The Time Traveler’s Wife (2009)

admin — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 11:27:54 +0000

Rachel McAdams the actress from the leading role of “The Notebook” plays in a movie that travels through time. The love and the romance has never been so unsafe in a fantasy drama from past to future. Eric Bana is the lover that has a funny quality: he can travel through time. The bad news is that he doesn’t know when and how. I could call this the most romantic movie of the year and I recommend to watch it with your girlfriend/boyfriend. I almost forgot… the film has some good jokes too.
