The Lair (2007–2009)

surprisingly interesting series

[6/10 · 5 September 2009]

well it is true:this is a gay horror soap opera made with small amount of money,but i like it.only for one reason:lead love story between Damien and Tom is looking very true to me.well acting for none professional actors.i mean people who never act in movies with budget over 500 000 dollars.of course other stories-plot lines in this soap opera is not very interesting.they probably were just added to make more tension,but they are seems to very weak-especially story with werewolf-no such things like constant full moon and in these scenes you can see very cheap effects.in third season Greek mythology is ahead -ring of Erebus-Greek god of darkness,who is not actually Satan in this mythology and male gorgon?-no such thing also in mythology,which is came to shows that writers didn't read it much it at all. Hope Tom &Damian will keep their love story in third season.and that is why i will continue to watch these series

Un amour à taire (2005 TV Movie)

voice in the desert

[9/10 · 24 September 2007]

well the movie is very good,and it is pity that many people cant be able to watch it. i have never knew about this movie before i saw it put in the program of the first channel of Bulgarian National Television{i remind you that this movie had been pictured in my country]-to be shown at 01.30 after midnight.without any advert.for example another french movie"fair play"{very stupid film]you could see it in every video store in my country even with poster on the door of the shop. let me explain the situation:it is hard in homophobic society in which i live {in my country to be called"pedal"{a.k.a "fagget"}is most insulting thing.much more than to be called"trash"or"bastard".how do you want someone in my country to watch this movie?the biggest irony in whole thing that the biggest star{music&media}in my country has pretending to be gay.it is very hard such excellent movie to be seen,because the prejudices.the fact that this movie was shown after midnight tells enough.that 's why my voice is a voice in the desert.

Glory Road (2006)

good movie with some flaws

[6/10 · 3 May 2007]

i would like to say,that my vote of 6 is enough&this vote don't mean ,that i dislike this movie.if you exclude some sentimental scenes{they are the one of the few flaws in "Glory Road"}this movie deserves attention,because it speaks with wisdom about so important problem like racism{problem not only in North America} another thing:i can't stand movies about sports{especially baseball}.there are so many bad movies about any kind of sport,but this movie is not one of them.for my surprise"Glory Road"has an acceptable,even wonderful humor.yes it is another version of the eternal story about "David vs.Goliat".besides it has a well selected soundtrack. about racism:skills are more important than color.i'm thinking that the prejudices are created by the governments,because it's much easier to rule people,which are unleashed one people versus other human beings.hatred is the one of the fastest ways to earn money.

Kinky Boots (2005)

try to wear my shoes

[7/10 · 3 May 2007]

yes it's an predictable movie at most of it's scenes,but also contains some sadness with itself. most important thing is the question?how hard is to be different in a world full with people who are trying to act"straight" like it is so necessarily to be like others? about the lead characters in movie:Lola is an expressive character played lovely by Chiwetel Ejiofor.this image irradiates every scene,where it's appears.Charlie Price is an opposite character compared with Lola. it seems to me that he doesn't want to be understood by his unfaithful fiancée Nicola only. it's funny that maybe this is a real story. it's easy to say he is this ,she is that,they are ...who knows what.much harder is to be in a place of the others.to know more about their really feelings.one advice for the people,who rejects others,because of their differences:try to put your legs into their shoes and then judge them.therefore"Kinky Boots" is one good movie.there is no sentences in it for anyone

The Devil Wears Prada (2006)

please do not feed the models{and assistants too}

[5/10 · 24 April 2007]

first of all i may say that i had experience with boss like Miranda Priestley{2 years ago i was working in a media}. i saw her like a human being just once,when she said to Andy"Another divorce splashed cross page six".but next when Andy ask her"Anything else i can do for you?"Miranda became again herself"Your job!".but i don't believe that someone could be so evil.my boss was awful,but i must say that i had some good memories from that job.why did i left? i didn't get any of credit about my hard work.second:i can't agree with that metamorphosis from modest country girl to a new fashion diva.beauty products only can make you look beautiful,but not from within. third:it's true that this movie endures many thoughts about values of love,career,friendship...but it doesn't told me something new about these subjects.. "Devil Wears Prada"-verified my opinion about fashion world-shine&glamorous,but devoid from the inside. "Everyone wants to be us"-no thanks!

Tamara (2005)

lady with an Axe{revenge is so deadly sweet}

[4/10 · 16 April 2007]

Many are deceived by one very good &sexy poster-Tamara with an Axe.However you can see that Axe only at the finish of this movie.Tamara did used this Axe just once before final scene,to repulse the attack from Chloe . the story is good{basically},actress in the leading role ms.Jenna Dowan is very sexy,even the music is acceptable.but i can't explain for me that affection ,what Tamara had to this not very cute teacher. other flaws are obvious,but i supposed this is from the low budget. let me be honest-acting is a word ,which is a compliment for the crew.they didn't act well.good job!-you would say for Jenna Dowan,but for her is not that hard to be seductive,to be repulsive is an real actor challenge. and one strange thing:this movie was very popular for rent{in some weird way}in our quarter DVD SHOP.for the viewers was easy to rent a copy of"The Devil Wears Prada",but was hard to find "Tamara" almost for a month. if you didn't have anything better to do watch it.

Chaos (II) (2005)

nothing new under the blue sky

[2/10 · 12 April 2007]

those people,who told me"this movie is good"-shame on them!this film is for an audience,who has no problem to watch everything{especially when it's all about tough guys,guns,chasing&heists}.i 'd compare this movie with"The Inside Man"{the same loss of time}. i'm tired of copy and paste movies.and i'm discontented,but what can i do?fans of that types of movies are much more.... if you want to watch good movie from that type ,i will recommend to you "Lucky Number Slevin". i'm not mean, i just dislike this movie{weak actors,weak script,weak action}.probably someone else will like it.many people-many tastes.HOWEVER FOR ME"CHAOS"IS TASTELESS!

Good Night, and Good Luck. (2005)

...and freedom for all

[8/10 · 11 April 2007]

almost without flaws movie! all we know ,that from freedom of speech began all free rights.huge semiotic symbol-black&white movie,because the truth has only two faces-black &white-your{their}truth&mine{ours}truth.in this case-civil rights versus desire for power &abusive control above the others.the attempts of senator McCarthy to rule are repulsed by few people with the power of media.watch it.look how the state can be able to change your future,if it want to do that.the task is accomplished.free rights are protected.but for the 50's.this movie engender many thoughts about present times.

Ask the Dust (2006)

we are all made from dust

[7/10 · 10 April 2007]

i prefer to write my comment about this movie as a poetry:"give me one more chance,to tell you that i don't wont anyone else but you. give me one more chance to tell you,that every thought of mine is about you.give me one more chance to touch your gentle soul.stay .or leave.but ask the dust for the unsaid words.ask the dust for the dissipated days.ask the dust for lost loves,and ask the dust for the missed days."about the story:he is an Italian,she is a Mexican.both they are foreigners in weird country,where to be "other"is not an appropriate thing. why we people are so cold?may we didn't know,that only dust remains after all of us!we are all made from dust &all go back there.sooner or later.

Children of Men (2006)

it could be much better

[5/10 · 5 April 2007]

Basically i'd like the idea:The Mankind faces his future end.no this didn't happen in this movie,because this movie has a open ending with so many semiotic symbols like:lonely woman with a baby child in a boat in a open water{that's probably means:people are on the edge of survival-they are weak in a front of the sea{maybe image of the unknown fate}&the mist{you guessed again-unknown future}and big ship with name"Tomorrow"{symbol of the HIGHEST POWER or something like that }.and one big question:why so many people demised for one hope?i think that,the image of the people in this picture shows that we don't deserves any hope.maybe i was surprised by early dead of Julian{beautifully played by my favorite female artist-Julian Moore}

No Night Is Too Long (2002 TV Movie)

bitter retribution

[9/10 · 29 March 2007]

surprisingly good movie{almost excellent},because the story is taken by real life{almost}.i was victim of the people like the lead character.now about the story:Tim is gorgeous young man ,deified by many,but with heart made of ice.breaking of hearts is his occupation.he often hear from others"i love you",but his heart is closed for other human hearts.as a student in university Tim starts hot affair with Ivo Steidman{lecturer in the same university}.the love of Ivo is true &deep,but Tim doesn't want to appreciate that.i'll be so grateful ,if somebody loves me like that.in this relationship Tim gets more, than he gives.together they travel to Alaska on excursion.there "our hero"falls in love for the first time to a mystery woman ,named Isabel.the movie continues with murder,surprise{really big-i drop my cup from surprise},love affair{again}&murder{again}.bitter retribution for a heart-breaker."god helps to those,who loves you"is a true definition for Tim's behavior.desolation &desparation-these feelings i felt after i saw this movie.about that how easily we people throw away love....every time when i watch this movie i can't stop crying.and i know what.and that's hurts me the most!

The Lake House (2006)

love-two years apart

[7/10 · 24 January 2007]

2004-2006 the things are pretty the same according to the letter of lead female character in movie Kate.everything begins&depends in this movie from one ordinary mailbox{ordinary at first look} nearby the lake house.this mailbox became a connection between two people Alex&Kate.however he lives in 2004.she lives in 2006.even it seems they have so much in common.except the lake house{build ed by Alex's father}and one dog Jack{very strange name ,because the dog is female}.look very carefully because almost every scene has a meaning.poetic movie with so funny moments{for example: writing on the wall},but so unreal.love by letters in 21-st century?these days people are looking for beauty,money,but not for the mind.it is possible for existing of small{or larger} space{or hole}between dimensions according to scientists.but for inconstant time.this is my explanation for the events in "The Lake House".for the curious people this movie has a happy ending.

Match Point (2005)

dilemma:to be rich or to be loved

[6/10 · 6 November 2006]

according to words of lead male character Chris"life is a blind chance,no purpose,no design".good philosophy for the man,who wants desperately to be someone.however the attraction between him&poor actress Nola{ms.Scarlet Johanssen is so seductive in this role}is obvious.does he love her?or it is just a lust?let's just call it love!but he is happily married for rich Chloe{ordinary character played lovely by ms.Emily Mortimer}lies,short meetings,fast sex,pregnancy-in slow action with good script.for example this conversation:"after he loss both of his legs,he found Jesus"-"sorry!it doesn't seems like a fair trade to me".decision is taken.to keep his rich&wealth condition Chris became a murderer.easy choice ,but i prefer to be loved,because all the money in the world,can't buy me this feeling....love

Invincible (2006)

please stop with these "true stories"

[1/10 · 30 October 2006]

yes!i guessed ,that"invincible"is a title of last album of Michael Jackson......but for"invincible" we're talking about American football from mid 70"s{thanks but i prefer soccer}the story of Vince is pretty "remarkable".Vince{real "hero" played by Mr.Marc Wahlberg}lose his job{as a teacher},lose his wife&everything{cliché isn't it}.for his variety {maybe}he sold tickets of his favorite football team"Eagles{who has many difficulties}."Eagles"starting a competition for ..new player.Vince became that player &makes "miracles"on the field.bravo!boring!.sorry maybe this man deserves much better treatment,but enough with these sports drama....and award for worst sentence in movie'06 goes to.."we need to find a soul of this team"{the coach}.you really don't need to watch "Invincible",i'm sure that in your local cinema you could choose something else{&much better}

Basic Instinct 2 (2006)

the power of a vicious woman{in this case}

[5/10 · 30 October 2006]

about lead character:yes Catherine is evil.yes she's like to harm people{especially men with problems}.most of men are powerless against her passion to lust &seduced those who opposed her.Catherine likes to be insidious &that makes me feel so glad from her actions{only on movie of course}good ms.STONE.but why we men afraid so much from strong women?maybe it's all about the competition.about movie yes he's little bit boring,but when you haven't any kind expectations about this movie{even if you heard bad rumors}you may like it,as some kind of pointless movie exercise.i.yes you will guess what happens next{even who will be the next victim},but if you have enough time to see "basic instinct 2"just watch it.it's good loss of time{i paid only 0.5 euro to entertain myself with helpless doctor Glass}.

The Upside of Anger (2005)

nobody is perfect

[7/10 · 19 October 2006]

at first look-this is just one another comedy for one woman,forsaken from her husband,because he is in love with his secretary.but it's not true.Terry{charming ms.Joan Allen}makes a mistake after mistake.she didn't know how to act with her daughters&friends after"the event".whole 3 years .and she has a feeling that nobody{even her close friend Danny}understand her.Terry blames the whole world and even didn't realize that.but we love her,because she is a human being like everyone of us with many of our problems.with support of Danny she annihilated most of those problems.she decided to stop drinking&absolved her daughters from her strict motherly control{and becomes twice grand mother}.in the end her anguish is over.how?just watch the movie.she{Terry} deserves your attention.

Closer (I) (2004)

we all sleep alone{in the end}

[7/10 · 19 October 2006]

first -beautiful cast.especially ms.Portman and her picture with that teardrop. closer , but too far.it's correct guidance for everyone who wants to see this movie.4 people searching love for almost 4 years.and what they found?lust,jealousy,passion ,loneliness,empty words for empty condition,but not love."love"is a word like pictures of Anna.we see them ,but how do we explain the feelings,which becomes from that looking.it's complicated.photograph is a need of love.stripping is a need of love.writing is a need of love.healing is a need of love.for those 4 lonely men and women.loneliness is a eternal plight for mankind?really?if it is true,that will be inconceivable.

Derailed (I) (2005)

don't talk to strangers

[6/10 · 20 July 2006]

all movie in one sentence:don't talk with beautiful strangers,even if they paid your ticket in train.story in movie:Charles is a fool,who met charming Lucinda in train,when she paid his ticket{because he has no money in his pocket}.and it's just the beginning.they met each other once again and flame shines between them.they going to the some kind of hotel,rent a room for 46$,and starting to kiss each other in bed.then some french type beats him and raped her in the exact same room.these events continues with black mail and response of the one man walking of the edge of desperation.don't forget to see deleted scenes if you looking this movie at home."derailed" s intrigue but not so much.Clive Owen is good enough in role of helpless family man."i choose this jail by myself"is his reply to the rapist.9 dollars equal to 130.000.

Cruel Intentions (1999)

is there any better revenge?

[8/10 · 18 July 2006]

this movie is very good remake of original movie inspired by eternal novel.Katrine is seek for revenge and this is so cool.for the way she reached all, for the price she paid in the end.i think she is the real winner,because she stays alive.Katrine is smart ,sexy and she can seduce anybody.Sebastian is proud to be executor of her desires.but love is erased all of his mistakes.the best in this movie is tne song of the VERVE-BITTER-SWEET SYMPHONY. in"cruel intentions 3:the cousin of Katrine-Cassie mentioned that Kathryn is in mental hospital.but she is so good hair of her.it runs in the family.for the rest of the characters in "cruel intension" i can say that Reese Witherspoon is not acting very well,but Christine Baranski & Selma Blair are good enough to make you laugh

Brokeback Mountain (2005)

love is so great and she reaches everybody in every way

[10/10 · 19 June 2006]

beautiful movie with excellent artists,director,cameraman,composer,song writers and everyone who work over this masterpiece .the story is so true .personally i believed in love between jack &Ennis.how amazing is so much to love.touched by so emotions.feelings,which you can not explain.i wanted to be loved like that.how much i envy you jack&Ennis for those you can find &keep it through the years. i'm sure that this story is a story of many people in this world,who can not confess nothing about his truly feeling,because of society,where they lives. in the end of the movie you can understand how cruel is our world.how we are not enough humans to reach these feelings and appreciate how important is love between us.without matter of sex ,colour,faith&mind

The Da Vinci Code (2006)

this movie don.t cost a thing

[1/10 · 8 June 2006]

it has to be a good idea to earn some billions,but it is not a good movie.even is a loss of time to try to understand for what is all about.one thing is to believe,another thing is to make movies about people's faith.the action in this movie is so weak,that makes me want to sleep or want to be somewhere else,but not in this stool .it is pity for the money,for artists,for director,for composer and all of those whose create this"miracle".it is a new "sleeping pill".it is a good advice to you:don't spend your money for this movie.for example: even"house of wax "is much better.you know why.i often compare this movie with new version of" Mr.deeds come to town"with Winona Ryder and Adam Sander,because they both deserved most awful value.
