3DD!3

Jeff Bridges pulls the whole film up with his performance, and that Oscar is well deserved. The songs are also nice. So good, very good. Can you ask anything else from a country-drama?

What’s that in the sky? Is it a man? Is it a plane? Is it Superman? No it’s the Tooth Fairy. :D The Rock is cool as ice if he can take a role in a movie like this and enjoy himself splendidly. The story of the Tooth Fairy is a good old American classic that we’ve seen a thousand times over. Just the special effects are new and it’s important that they’re worth it. The shrinking paste, the amnesia dust, the invisibility spray. It’s just superb. P.S.: The opening instruction session in the pink dress is priceless. And that's the Tooth, the whole Tooth and nothing but the Tooth!

A great drama with brilliant actors. Natalie Portman as the dream wife and Tobey's psychopathic escapades nearly took my breath away. The perfect scene of the rearranging of the cups with a gun in hand says it all.

Excellent miniseries. I would like to highlight the absolutely perfect Michael Keaton, who managed to fit seamlessly into the role of the anal-retentive James Angleton. I enjoyed his monologues so much.

It’s such a shame that the quality of the first two stories doesn’t come anywhere near the work of Tarantino and Rodriguez. All right, there is one word is more fitting – average. Apart from Roth’s hamming, almost nothing happens. Luckily my expectations were not that high, and I just took it as a necessary debut movie, until the action hurricane with the slick Banderas and the ending where Tarantino reels off one snappy line after another. As a Quentin fan I really enjoyed the last bit, maybe almost as much as he did himself. Tons of cues and heavily improvised monologs (excuse me, monolog) in one take and faultless choreography. That’s why I gave it the fourth star, I can’t say no more to defend it.

Dead Man Walking. Gibson great, Winstone great, Campbell is still in top form. Although a couple of scenes really made me think WTF (the end), it didn’t bother me so much that I couldn’t enjoy the rest. The action scenes are supreme to the point it’s a shame that there weren’t more of them and the final showdown was such a treat for me to watch - precisely my cup of tea. I even feel like watching the original miniseries too.

A post apocalyptic movie of the highest quality drenched in the murkiest atmosphere and wrapped in the darkness of grey fumes evaporating from a dying planet. We don’t know why exactly, but that doesn’t matter. What matters is survival. To eat and not get eaten. Viggo Mortensen is at his best and his little side-kick Kodi Smith-McPhee plays a great supporting role. These two under the firm direction of John Hillcoat push the dolly forward at a slow and contemplative tempo towards an ending which is not exactly impressive, but fairly logical. And that’s about it.

The same war, but a different battlefield and mainly a different enemy. Hanks and Spielberg guarantee a high quality movie, so the special effects and the actors are both at a pretty high standard. I was also pleased by the quality dubbing. So far so good, we’ll see what will come of it. After the part two I raise my rating to the full five. Jon Seda is the ultimate bruiser and the thousand headed Japanese dragon shows its strength. More destructive in their fury and ferociousness than the Nazis. -- In the end I’m giving it 4 stars, the same as for the Band of Brothers (both series complement each other nicely). Where The Pacific is weaker in overall atmosphere there it makes up for in the action scenes. The actors are almost all of them seriously good, James Badge Dale being a big surprise, but the portrayal of some of the characters was a little weak. Also Rami Malek’s loopy bastard Snafu deserves a mention and I foresee a big future for him. Did you turn it off, you bastard? I’m covered in soap.

Really impressive, Dexter even in such a small space can be engrossing. I wonder if we'll see more episodes or if we'll just have to make do with these three.

This is simply a movie for pleasure. Marty plays about with absolutely everything. He plays with the music, period stylization, the storytelling and the actors play along with him. The atmosphere is thick as fog in the opening scene. Drooling psychopaths winking out on every street corner, storms rage and the road to the main message (which you can probably guess) is a winding one and goes through an impressive range of exquisite twists, turnabouts and unexpected situations that keep your eyes glued to the screen. Add some dark dreamlike hallucinations and rather forgotten memories of the main protagonist during the second world war. DiCaprio acts as if his life depended on it, maybe this is one of his best performances of his career, but even so he can hardly compare with the old vets who finally landed a superb parts. Despite how you might expect the movie to evolve, the ending is crushing and the last sentence in Shutter Island is the icing on this beautifully served cake.
