The Last King of Scotland

I said that to see romantic comedy is not bad once in while before last post. I saw two of that and so I am fulfiled for two months before :-)))

Ok, here is a little change of genre. I said little? No, of course not little but absolute difference. This is next movie filmed in the "black continent". The story of the movie is based on the events of government of Uganda's dictator Idi Amin.

The young Scottish doctor Nicholas Garrigan comes full of life, enthusiasm and ideals to help people to Africa to Uganda. I think to be so much idealistic is not good ever. And this makes itself right very soon. Garrigan thinks whole world is just going around him. Yes, it is very fun at the beginning... but he is afraid of his alone life at the end because Amin isn't so good person like Garrigan thought.

The movie is very, very good and actor Forest Whitaker - Idi Amin look so fully authentic. Well I can't say it exactly because I didn't know right Idi Amin but what is saying people of Uganda, Forest is almost like Amin. Thoughts and images of Amin and his terrible acts return back to these people after watching this movie. I found that there was killed about 300.000 people in Uganda during the two years, the period of his dictature.

A Good Year

I am movie maniac. I can't to call that in other way, next movie in the next day.

Can you believe that director Ridley Scott can make other kind of movie then his Alien, Gladiator, etc.? Yes, he can and this movie A Good Year is proof of that. Nice and lovely romantic comedy with great actor Russell Crow in main role. You don't totally crack up but you'll keep smile almost whole movie.

But the other side you can feel a nostalgia because especially shots in old house, garden and vineyard are so nostalgic and beautiful.

The Holiday

Glass of good Chile's wine, cheese of Emmenthal kind, me alone in my bed and this movie... this is screenplay of this evening and it was great, ... just ease.

I thought that the movie is hollywood sweety classic. Well exactly it is but it is great and amazing movie too. I like these romantic movies with funny items (too ;-) exactly, I like more kind of movies)... well, once in while it is not bad to watch the kind of movie.

This movie is just about love. Even I know that the happy-end is almost impossible in real life but it's not problem in this movie. It's good.

Main actors are great too, especialy Kate Winslet and Cameron Diaz. And ofcourse Jack Black is man to create for funny roles. I could see him in comedy Nacho Libre and he was so funny there. And the fourth main actor Jude Law. I don't know him so much and he wasn't bad.

And I noticed two scenes which would not have there. Actually only one and it is a look to the Dustin Hoffman when Kate and Jack are in the dvd shop. And I would little change the second scene where is look to the breathing Cameron in a bed after having sex. Her top should be down, don't you think? :-) I am. But it is not important thing of this movie.

Well, if you want see a romantic comedy (best with your love) I can recommend just this movie.

Apocalypto

I was wondering to next movie from Mel Gibson like director. I think he takes pleasure in bloody scenes because these bloody shots in this movie are precise. We could make certain of it in movie known by named The Passion of the Christ.

The main feature of Apocalypto is son of headman, named Jaguar Paw, of one indian group. Who is little similar like that man? Oh, I get it, Ronaldinho - Brazilian footballer, now player of FC Barcelona... but don't tell him that, he would kill me. Ok, back about movie. Beginning part of movie is very quick, mainly editing (jumps) in those scenes... look to the forest, look to the wild pig and look to the snaring savages and then cuting up in portions of the pig, especially eating pigs balls, oh... nasty.

Well, we can take a little knowledge about how probably these natives lived in their villages. Even they knew that principle is family - man, woman and children. And about that is actualy whole movie. The people lives their satisfied lifes until manhunters invade their village and they murdering them, raping women, firing buildings... And Jaguar Paw save your wife and son in close cave before deportation him and people of the village to sale of people.

There are killed a lot of these people... but Jaguar Paw returns back to the village to his wife, which meanwhile gives birth to a baby in the cave in the end.

And everybody lives hapilly together. And maybe they are living there now if they didn't die.
No this movie isn't funny, sorry... It's great movie, seriously. If you don't believe me so watch that.

Anjos do Sol (Brazilian movie)

I saw this movie by reference of my friend from Brazil. It is unbelievable movie from Brazilian production, name is "Angels of the Sun" in english unofficial translation. Are you asking me why unbelievable movie? It's simple to answer of me because I'll understand never how parents are able to sell their child. 12 years old girl Maria, living in dire poverty with her family in Northern Brazil, is sold by her fisherman father to prostitute. This is first terrible and unbelievable thing of the movie's story.

Second terrible and unbelievable thing: How may anybody make use of children to his (her) business like is prostitution?? Yeah, I know, it isn't only to prositution but I'm talking just about this movie. And you can look that just men don't do that but women do that too.

Maybe last unbelievable thing for me: the men who are looking little gilrs for their sex fun. They pay a high price to deflower virgin child prostitutes.

Who is able to do that??? I'm frustrated to vomiting...

Sure, these things are terrible and unbelievable for me. But it may not be impossible for somebody another, may it? Watch the movie and you'll see.

Why poeple are doing that things? I think it is happening just for money everytime. People are bad, infected with money. World is manipulated, controled by money more and more today.

Babel

Somebody's saying bad movie, idiocy or something like that but I'm saying great movie. The movie is about different stories of different people from four different parts of the world who are in connection by one rifle and mainly by one sad thing - their suffering.

Director Alejandro González Iñárritu takes pleasure in edging way and jumping between those stories. Who saw his movie "21 grams" so knows what I'm talking about. Simply, you must see whole movie from start to end to understand it.

Finally I can say this:
so much pain, so much love... so much crudity, so much kindness...

The Guardian

I saw another new movie and what can I say now? Maybe, Kevin Costner is back. I think that this is one of the better movies where he was performed. This movie is not bad but it isn't so great and I liked it.

We can get knowledge something little about training and work of U.S. Coast Guards. Scenes on heavy sea with good 3d sound are great and very dramatic. You can find a smiling scenes there too but you don't wait movie deep ideaded. At least I didn't find it there. But it would not be american movie without love story and with happy end, would it?

So finally, probably you are leaving cinema with chuckle on your face...

The Pursuit of Happyness

The movie inspirated by true story is other great movie which I saw. It's simply amazing.

Performance by Will Smith is excellent - other nomination to academy award for the best actor. And the little boy-actor is great too and he is so sweet.

(Ehm, I want the son like him, I must just find a black wife... :-)))) hahahaaa)

For example, the part when Will is crying with his son in the arms on the toilet is very emotive. When I saw the movie second time I didn't cried yet in this part but the first time I almost was.

Or the other interesting part from other side, very funny side, is e.g. when they are taking a sit in the car and the guy ask Will for his car. Will's son answer: "we haven't a car" and Will is screaming "oooohhhhh...." and play-act he has hurting of head.

Well this's just small interesting examples which you can see in the movie. I could write about another things from this movie here but I won't. It will be best when you'll look the movie yourself. So have a good look.

Blood diamond

I don't want to write any review of this movie here, others pages are for it, but I have to say that the movie is very strong for me. I don't speak about the "happy-end" which is classical for Hollywood movies but about the story, direction, excelent sound, screenplay and not least about great performance by Leonardo DiCaprio.

I think his performance moved this movie so much high up. Not to no end he is nominated to academy award for the best actor. He isn't alone a sweet "little" boy like in Titanic movie. He became one of the best actors.

And of course I must make a mention of great performance by Djimon Hounsou who's nominated to academy award for the best supporting actor.

This movie has almost everything what I like in the kind of movies. You can feel bitter, despair, sadness, injustice. You can cry but also you can smile in any parts of the movie. Definitely you will not bored with the movie.

I can say this movie is one of the best which I've seen up to now.
