My iz budushchego (2008)
Excellent point of view
I just watched this film yesterday at the mini festival on the occasion of 9th of May (Victory Day).
There were only 4 reviews prior to this one for this movie.
Only one review was displayed by default, where reviewer (presumably from another background, not a communist one) slashes the movie as non- worthy. This is absolutely not true.
I would argue that if one is to truly understand this movie, he has to either be born and develop in a communist/post-communist regime (such as myself - SFRJ) or be an avid movie fan or be a professional movie critic.
This movie at my age (39) and with my family (wife + 2 kids) has profoundly confirmed the ominous situation with Neo-Nazism in Europe and grave future which (possibly) awaits us all.
****** spoiler alert ****** Aforementioned reviewer has agitated me, because this movie is not about time travel logic or anything about that. It is but a mechanism to show us deeper meaning.
The Eye (2008)
Looses tension and focus towards disappointing end premise
The problem with this movie is similar to lot of movies in the recent years - cannot hold the pace through the whole movie. The movies lasts 1-2 hours, but only the good director/producent can anticipate how the movie should be done in order to maintain the idea and pace throughout the whole movie. The horror here mainly is bases on a side character (the 'transporter' shadows) which have no real meaning and purpose in the plot.
Truly disappointing, especially when it is clearly visible that the cast. budget and scenes were of very good quality. Only the idea (creativity and originality) were missing this movie to be really, really good.
The money is spent, the movie is average (at the best). The energy is spent unworthy.
Clearly big movie industry has lost the touch with original and creative writers, or just doesn't allow them to break-through the mediocre scenarios and writers...
