Cristiano Ronaldo: World at His Feet (2014)
Gifted futbol player succeeds in life
This man is an amazing athlete and fast with the futbol. I do not usually watch documentaries but this Cristiano is intriguing. I wanted to know more about his life and how he became a super star. I found out through this film. I love how Cristiano plays and the video highlights in the documentary showcase his skill, although some of the clips are shown more than once. I was surprised to see the poverty he came from in Portugal, but it adds to the amazing story. The film documents Cristiano's rags to riches story and show some of his toys. For instance, the cars he owns are amazing - wait til you see them! The music accompanies the film well, too. I liked the documentary very much.
The Employer (2013)
My Review of "The Employer"
I found out about "The Employer" from a friend's recommendation. And I'm glad I did! As the film begins, I am pleased to see Malcolm McDowell's cold, calculating dialogue – I became a fan of his from his work on HBO's "Entourage." I enjoy his almost sinister and cut-throat portrayal of a powerful executive in that series. In "The Employer", there is nothing 'almost' sinister about his character
he truly is a villainous madman! I later did some research and found that McDowell stars in the infamous Stanley Kubrick film "A Clockwork Orange." (I didn't know that! Pretty impressive.)
The story unfolds as five job applicants wake up in a locked vault, after being drugged. They piece together that they all are vying for a "life-changing" job at the Carcharias Corporation. We soon find out that their supposed last interview is actually set up as a kind of death match by McDowell's character, The Employer.
What I like about this film is that it uses character dialogue and flashbacks to tell the story. It's interesting to learn how each individual ends up in their current predicament. I also personally like the character 'Billie.' She's a tough, hot, sexy, ass-kicking brunette! Actually, I find that all the characters have something to offer, even the sociopathic 'Keith.' It's like each character reminds you of a part of yourself - that you either recognize or are in denial of, haha.
Plus, the thrills, surprises, and violence in the story are what you come to expect out of a movie of this genre - supported with a cameo by none other than Billy Zane! Enjoy!
