Fitna (2008)
Wake-up call!
I am not even going to give this a vote, as it does not even qualify to be judged by any scale. The film is pure propaganda, and is like the Nazis's are replaced with ignorant caucasions and the Jew's with innocent muslims.
I ask you: -Why do I- as a Muslim, raised and born in the west, fully integrated with the culture of my new homecountry- now have to be afraid going out of my home? Is this not the TRUE meaning of Terror?
-Why every time someone speaks of Islam, automatically the terrorism subject is approached? Are terrorists really muslims, or just fundamentally disturbed people, with an understanding that is all to mixed up- just happen to have grown up in a Muslim state?
This move, documentary or what you want to call it, reaches out to those of us who are weak. Those people who have not yet reached the understanding that is needed to take a stand. I am afraid that that is the majority of the people in the world. I pledge you to do not choose your stand from a propaganda film like this, rather go out to a "normal" Muslim, equal to the "normal" Christian, jew, buddhist, and ask him/her about his/her's belief and religion. You will see that our religion is not much different from yours.
The writings in the Qouran are over 1000 years old!! No one believes them 100%! It's like believing that the world was created in 6 days, and hell was created because of Adam eating an apple.
Wake up people, before it's all to late...
Sex and Death 101 (2007)
Different is good!
I just saw this film at a preview. I have to say I normally don't like romantic comedies, so I didn't have any big expectations for this.
The film is about Rodrick who receives an e-mail with all the names of girls he have had sex with, and those he will have sex with within a year. The problem is, he at that time was meant to get married in not so long, but "the list" doesn't end with his wife-2-be's name. Actually: there are 72 more to come!
I won't say the movie is free of clishè, but compared to what were used to with these kind of films- it certainly is a good breath of fresh air. The plot is funny, the characters are interesting, the actors did a good job, and well the movie was good as well. Also Winona Ryder is as beautiful as ever! Watch it, but with reasonable expectations.
Enjoy:-)
Eastern Promises (2007)
Eastern promises- what a promise!
When I went in to see this film it was with mixed feelings. I love good movies surrounding organized crime, like classics: The Godfather, Scarface. But the last really good one I've seen was 12 years ago with Casino, that time with Robert De Niro. So because of this I did not want to get my hopes up for this one. I mean Viggo Mortensen as an Russian mob? I couldn't see that for me, but now- I soooo definitely can! The story is about a crime family in London. When most movies of this kind concentrates about the drug side of the mafia, this one does not. It's rather about trafficking and the animal side of some people out there. I don't want to say more as I don't want to ruin the experience.
The most pleasant surprise for me was Viggo Mortensen, man did he convince me with his character! He was outstanding in this movie, and deserves all the praise he can get! Namoi Watts is good, but that is also how far I will go there. It's also some scenes in the movie that just blows you away, specially one fighting scene that is so unusual and looks real.
It has it's flaws, and I'm not gonna stand here and say it's as good as Godfather or Scarface (for me taste), but it's definitely the best mafia film (Departed set aside) since Casino.
This movie will make you think. And it is one of those movies that you'll want to see again and again! I rate it 9/10, recommended.
Click (2006)
Most underrated movie of 2006!
I was really surprised when I saw the rating on this movie- how can people think this was an average comedy flick? Believe me, it is sooo much more! This is (notice IS) Adam Sandler's best movie yet. With that I don't mean he deserves an Oscar for his individual performance, but the plot, message, comedy, drama- well the film in general is really, really good.
Short resume: Adam Sandlers character gets hold of a magic remote-control where he can choose to pause, and move forward in time- and also go back and watch what happened in the past. This results in a great movie, with a message we all need to get in our head! What it is, I leave for you to find out.
You will laugh so loud it's embarrassing, yo will try to hide your tears running down your face, and you will be captivated of this picture.
Please don't listen to people who say this movie blows (they just say so, because others do), go and watch it and be the judge yourself.
Strongly recommended. 9/10
Ocean's Thirteen (2007)
Soderbergh - be ashamed!
Everyone who's buying a ticket for this movie (like me), obviously liked the two first. And if you did that- well, you still will be disappointed.
Oceans 13 has all the unbelievable cast as before (- Julia Roberts) and has added Al Pacino. In my opinion this add made me not totally slaughter the movie, he was (as always) incredible in the role of casino owner Mr.Bank. The rest of the cast is actually just themselves, George Clooney plays George Clooney, and Brad Pitt- well, Brad Pitt... The actors is just enjoying themselves with what they know will be a box-office success anyways, so they don't really put in any effort.
Soderbergh really misses out on the poor dialog and (at some parts) confusing scenes, which makes everyone scratching their heads... You're looking for some scenes which makes you bite your nails(?)- look somewhere else, this movie has none! Soderbergh you should be ashamed- what a waste of talent! But, we all expected it- and as stupid as we are (myself included), we just hope that the amazing cast will make the movie worth while- as it should. It doesn't. Don't be fooled by the Big names, this is a movie that you wanna forget the second you go out of the theater! 3/10 (some points because of Pacino)
Death Proof (2007)
The most entertaining movie this year!!
I just watched this movie, and have to say I was stunned. This movie is pure art! Tarantino makes this Grindhouse movie, without overdoing it- but much rather making it so much more enjoyable to watch.
The movie is about a Stuntman Mike and his special car-hunts:-) The action sequences is magic, the dialogs is of course in usual Tarantino manner (that means f... great!!), the editing is "bad" (but in a really cool way!!). And of course, we have Tarantino in a special role in the movie as well- don't we all love when he does that? Don't watch the movie cause of the plot, but watch it for having really fun with a movie that blows your mind. Out of this world! Recommended.
10/10
