Apparently, everyone seeing the trailer can say that this is another Eddie Murphy movie, and more than that, it got Martin Lawrence in it. I can say that this is the best movie with Eddie Murphy I've ever seen. I like his acting and his talent, even if he starred in a lot of flops as well. This one, Life, is a profound drama with a rating which is less than deserved. I'm afraid people expected a comedy, maybe quite a typical Murphy comedy, and they were disappointed by watching a serious movie … [Read more...]

Stand Up Guys
Stand-Up Guys is the last Al Pacino movie I’ve seen. He’s not alone, of course, but it is not important. The subject is pretty lame. There is this bunch of decrepit mobsters, one played by Pacino and another one played by Christopher Walken. Walken has to kill Pacino when he came out of prison where he stayed alone because he never talked. Nobody expected him to talk, but in the last heist they pulled out, the son of a local “made” guy got killed. So this “chief” wanted Pacino dead to revenge … [Read more...]
Mental – Hail to Australians!
Neglecting Australians as movie producers is not good at all. There is a bunch of native Australians actors who are already famous, and I bet not many knows that they are actually Aussies. What is good and what is wrong with them doesn't matter. What matters is that they're more than talented, they make Australians to be proud without too much fuss. Let's take this amazingly wonderful comedy, as quirky as it is, and say that as far as I\m concerned, it's one of the best comedies I've seen … [Read more...]
Stranger Than Fiction
It is considered "comedy". It's not a classic one, maybe a black comedy, anyway, it's subtle. It's Will Ferrel's most serious role in his entire acting career, or I consider it so. It's also considered "drama", "fantasy" and "romance". I suppose these genres are more appropriate with this sensitive movie. I've seen it a few years ago, maybe just in the released year, 2006, I'm not sure anymore, and I was extremely pleasant impressed. As Adriana Popovici uses to say about a perfect made film, it … [Read more...]
The Winners at Cannes 2013
The following quotes are from Times. On my news stream the first impression came from Indian Daily News or something, due to Vidya Balan's presence in the jury. Spielberg made just that point at a press conference after the ceremony. He called Adèle ”a great love story that made all of us feel privileged to be a fly on the wall, to see this story of deep love and deep heartbreak evolve from the beginning.” The director didn’t put any constraints on the narrative. He let the scenes play in … [Read more...]
Cannes Film Festival 2013
Today, The Great Gatsby, Baz Luhrmann's adaptation based on the novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald, will open the sixty sixth film festival of Cannes. In an interview, Leonardo DiCaprio, who stars in the movie, said: "Every time I go to Cannes, it feels like I'm entering the helicopter scene in La Dolce Vita. It's an insane experience. The entire town is turned into a red carpet. Every hotel is a premiere. But at the same time, it is the mecca for the world to celebrate film-making and bold … [Read more...]
