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 [...]
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 [...]
It’s strange sometimes how things come together. On a Saturday afternoon, while trying to gather ingredients and my nerves to cook something, on the same week as the finals of a cooking show the agency which I work for organized, I stumbled upon Julie and Julia on HBO. Motivating story, starring Meryl Streep and Amy [...]
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 [...]
Pentru a viziona unele filme, e nevoie de nervi tari. In general, imaginile cinematografice au o impresie puternica asupra mea, pentru ca intotdeauna ma gandesc la sursa de inspiratie a filmului, daca ceea ce vad s-a intamplat intr-adevar sau daca poate se va intampla si in general sunt atat de absorbita de universul de pe [...]
In the city of blinding lights – vocea lui Bono a fost soundtrackul ce se derula in mintea mea pe masura ce avionul survola Parisul la 22:30 (ora locala) inainte de a ateriza pe Charles de Gaulle. Ulterior mi-am dat seama ca asocierea nu era originala, ci fusese deja creata in filmul The Devil Wears [...]
