When a movie benefits from other movies as teasers, you get a feeling of the incredible forces set in motion behind the scenes. The Avengers had a few difficult tasks to accomplish: not to upset the Marvel fans, to make sure to attract nonfans, to bring Disney redemption after John Carter, to pack 7 superheroes [...]
I went to see the Star Wars Episode 1 mostly out of curiosity. As expected, despite the fact that a 3D layer is added to the film, it has nothing on the films launched in the 70′s and 80′s, proving once more that good acting and a enticing, well-structured story will always prevail over all [...]
Just like Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, Haywire is a movie whose charm comes from building momentum, tension and in the case of the main character, revenge. Unlike the British production, this is not an arty movie, but rather a good enjoyable DVD rental for a night with friends. The film is worth seeing for the [...]
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy was a very new, very different cinematic experience for me. It was like seeing a film for the first time. A spy thriller without any bangs, neither literally or metaphorically, just a narrative audio-visual process which takes its time, at its own pace. Adapted from John Le Carre’s 1974 novel which [...]
since, well, since the last time I’ve written on this blog. Certain events have occurred during this time: one extremely plain – New Year’s and an extraordinary one which will be detailed soon enough The first one is relevant due to its resolutions, among which “taking care of this blog” squeezed in. Besides the motivation [...]
Nu m-au fermecat ochii lui Brad Pitt, nu am suspinat dupa el si nici in Fight Club nu era preferatul meu (pentru mine, in primul plan era Edward Norton). Pana la Burn After Reading al fratilor Coen. Si Inglorious Basterds (v. monologul My name is Lt. Aldo Raine sau stricatul Buongiorno). Si la cele doua [...]
Intr-un articol intitulat Hollywood Dishonors the Bard, James Shapiro, profesor de literatura engleza la Columbia University, prezinta si desfiinteaza teoria fundament a filmului Anonymous. In 1920, J. Thomas Looney, scriitor englez, in oarecare dusmanie cu idealurile democratice, sustine ca numai un nobil ar fi putut crea operele atribuite lui Shakespeare, fiu al unui analfabet, fara [...]
Dintre toate artele, cinema-ul pare a fi cea mai dependenta de tehnologie. Fara cea din urma, ultimii peste 100 de ani nu ar fost la fel, nu am fi perceput lumea asa cum o facem azi, nu am fi visat la fel. Dar dincolo de aceasta legatura atat de puternica, cinematografia este mai mult decat [...]
Pe langa mobilele care suna in timpul filmului, comentariile si glumele total nepotrivite, mai exista un aspect al comportamentului celui care merge la cinema: putini oameni raman sa vada genericul de final. Din pacate, nici stafful din cinematograf nu incurajeaza acest lucru, avand in vedere ca aprind lumina la nici un minut dupa ce filmul [...]
daca nu ar fi nevoie sa fim intr-o perpetua cautare a menirii proprii? Ar fi mai amar sau mai dulce finalul unei zile daca am sti exact cate ne mai asteapta? In Never Let Me Go, pentru personajele principale, fiinte create cu singurul scop de a deveni donatori de organe, intrebarile de mai sus sunt [...]
