You might have seen it already. Such a good idea!
This video is one of the short films shot on a phone that was presented during the Edinburgh International Film Festival. The winner video.
Do you remember the time when Nic Cage was not totally ridiculous on the screen?
I was a total fan.
Do you remember this one? Wild at heart?
This was so passionate. Just how Life should be!
Which Jane come to your mind? Tarzan's? Eyre? Fonda (haaa pretty Barbarella!) ?
Jane Campion was so far the only woman winning the top prize at Cannes Festival a few years ago with the Piano. I found that quite surprising. Not chocking, just surprising.
When I think of that (powerful) movie... I believe it had to be made by a woman. There was a particular approach. Feminine I think.
I love her sensitivity.
And I like when she talks of the "romantic impulse", that I would translate as "passion"..
"I think that the romantic impulse is in all of us and that sometimes we live it for a short time, but it's not part of a sensible way of living. It's a heroic path and it generally ends dangerously. I treasure it in the sense that I believe it's a path of great courage. "
because... even if not truly exciting, it's quite entertaining to learn about the fucking gifted and clever bastards that created Facebook or Napster. And being the users of all their inventions, we feel part of the machine, funny. Scary. 7/10
The King's speech
The King's Speech - #1 Trailerpar hawkbcn
Well I'm not sure it sums up the movie really. It was my favourite among this list. Why, I think Colin Firth's acting made everything, and all the supporting actors. I truly loved it. 10/10
Black Swan
Because you get caught by the atmosphere, the sharp stress. I wasn't attracted at all by the movie. I knew I'd see a wonderful actress acting, but then... The ballet background... of course you expect competition to get really bad... but I must say it was quite surprised and pretty good. 7/10
127 Hours
Because of one scene, crazy wonderful, where the main character films himself as in a talk show. It was waw WAW so good! Just for that fantastic scene, I'd watch it again!
I thought the whole movie was predictable. I wasn't wrong. But the acting, the filming + this special scene makes it good enough. 6/10
True Grit
For that scene where the young girl crosses the river on her big horse to finally get spanked on the other side for being a disobeying girl! Haha yeah, what a scene! : )))
But the 45 first minutes of the movie were way too long, the ending really bad. 5/10
Ok, it was a very subjective movie review, I reckon :P
All these movies have one thing in common: incredible actors, I mean all of them! I was really positively shocked by that!
Ok, the thing is... I just can't get enough of rum, sex and rock 'n roll ... movies lately!
Anything you recommend?
I've watched already some weeks ago V season 1 and just started watching season 2 ... well, just entertaining to me, perfect when multitasking! ... ok with less charm and of course originality than the ermm... original ;-) but some good points in the new one too.
There's a spoiler in the season 2 trailer, but my sister's such a fan of "her" that I had to share it :P
What genre will this movie belong to?
Comical adventure?
Action farce?
(don't say "tragedy" while rolling your eyes, that would break my heart)
My two favourite genres in one: western + science fiction ! Yayyyy !!!
The title itself is PERFECT!
It's looks improbable enough and crazy enough to be memorable!
I can't wait!
Do you have any idea what I'm going to talk about?
Sure, you have...
Well, ok, don't be disappointed, I'm going to talk music and tv.
I have no time for cinema, no time for tv... but then how, I don't know, I get time to watch series on my computer when I'm busy doing stuff that does not require full focus.
And honestly (God bless streaming) there are series that are really as good as good movies. Good plots, actors, clever stuff etc. Also much crap among them, I agree.
Anyway, the last ones I've seen, I would highly recommend them! Actors, plot, all is close to perfection. Maybe I'm an easy target, but then... Let yourself be tempted!!!
I've just watched 3 seasons of True Blood. The vampire stuff is not the most attractive stuff and that will probably be the only series I'll watch about them, but it was highly entertaining! Makes me think differently about Louisiana ;-)
The first 2 seasons are woaaa.... into action!!!!
and then there's Mad Men. That one is excellent, though the trailer never tempted me... I only listened to Michelle's advice and got into it! And if you resist cigarettes and whisky after a few seasons, then you're my heroe ;-)
and the third, that I watched on purpose before getting to Miami (how many seasons, 5, 6?): Dexter. Which is also very good, as a very good book. Except that I don't like at all reading thrillers. Well let's say it's a spicy piece of chocolate!
Have you seen anything lately that deserve some attention?
Ok, look at the pic below.. does that ring a bell ?
Right, you've guessed now what movie the devils and I have seen for the very first time yesterday, hm?! We might have been the last 3 French ones who had not seen this movie... lol
I can tell you I expected to be disappointed. I can tell you I expected the plot to be really common. I expected an overdose of sentimentalism. That's usually what's popular!
I can tell you I'm free from chains, but it's hard to be free from pre-conceived ideas! ;-)
Got caught by the magic of it. Yes some will shrug because they've not been touched and I do understand.
From a simple basis, plot, this movie has developed many ideas and threads with much sensitivity and poetry, that's what I think. I don't know if talent is incompatible with block busters, but I don't think. It requires a LOT of talent to gather sensitivities around a same movie.
Anyway, I was talking of Avatar.
Visually, it reached perfection. And for once, the script behind was not poor. It was highly entertaining. Quality can be reached on several levels.
Oh and I was SO happy to get Ripley back. When I saw Sigourney was part of the crew, I loaded my big machine, ready to fire @the bitch hiding in the ceiling! lol
Later, I watched Tarentino's Inglorious Basterds ... Got some fine icecream and was into the mood. No regreat. Will watch it again! That was so fucking good. Tarentino's one of the very best to me. He's just proved it again.
