Blades of Glory

Free Screening at the AMC, not many attended cause it was same day email. No line-straight into the cinema, good seats, movie starts; a poor little blonde boy was put in a helirious costume and is icesaketing on a small frosen lake... - Come on - You got to laugh. I bursted once loud when I saw a white bear carpet with head still attached being molested by one of the cast members.

Go. Laughing is good for you.

Babel

bulletes over the globe.

One of those movies that tries too much. it's good. but works against itself. young arab boy masturbates thinking about his sister. a naked Japanese girl does not help forward the story anywhere - but into a lost in space state.

Brad Pitt

Cate Blanchett
Oscar noms: Mexican nannie story could have shown some more bureaucracy problems at the border, and really it's hot and sexy to see a naked Jap gal any time - but sorry, does not really belong to the story - disappointing.

Re-Birth

Created over noodle soup with David Calig and Oded Levy.

How would one deal with a life changing opportunity experience being re-born, and just like a baby - u can not speak for the next 16 months. and then the only words u can say are papa...

with child psychiatry, what goes in the heads of babies.

The Good shepard

Robert De Niro directs a long, throe, most interesting filled with amazing details, reflections, hearings, most beautiful wife to watch act, brutally painful father and son relationship, just as complex that is can get to.

50 cent.

Hotel Room (DVD)

Repeted episode in Black and White - with differnt endings.

Poor from start. Weak stories I just don't buy. Dead bride in the closet okay - but why not explore further - would a newly wed really leave his love in the closet? - What could not top the idea - is not been develpoed, another story starts, then another - What's the point? not really sure. -

The Pursuit of happyness

This movie is about a man's dream. Will Smith plays a father who sticks to his dream to become a stock broker, no matter what. Like most true stories everything works against him and slows him down in his pursuit. His to love for his son and his belief in himself keep him going.

There is not one racism reference throw-out the movie, it's beyond that, relating to everyone, as human - charming. - I don't get why during one of the final scenes, in the bathroom, when the employer genuinly wishes luck before the final day, an African American in the theater called out load - "It's not going to happen, you low class nigger!" - so wrong to still see and hear the self hateread some black people have in America.

This movie is about a man's dream who just happens to be black..


Director: Gabriele Muccino

Writer: Steve Conrad



Will Smith

dead silence

u scream u die. that's the motto of this movie. Will the lead male scream and die while searching for clues to why his wife screamed and died?


It's: "The wooden, puppet, freak show" with great sound effects and suspense that keep you glued to the back of your seat... thou you end up scaring your self more than the movie really does.

Match Point (DVD)

Fantastic execution of story telling. Woody Allan has created a stylish brilliant Hitchcock flick. Not a unusual choice for Allen,( a 90 minutes comic movie.)

Set in London darling, telling a story of love, lust, money and choices one takes in life. About luck, Opera, tennis and the perfect murder?

Everyone in this movie is great - excellent casting. Loved it.

"Freedom Writers"

Writing does help you deal with issues.

It's Dengerous Minds meet Shindler's list. that's what this movie is about - a true story about a class of students in Los Angeles and their teacher who will just do anything she can to educate. Just warm, it can bring a tear to your eye at times, just magic emotional ride. So very glad I did see this one. Fantastic.

Hilary Swank

300

Muscle men, monsters, Persian invasion of SPARTA. Lots of blood - the color RED never looked so good. At times the screen looks just like a good old huge renaissance painting, with similar narration as "Sin City'.

A saga about a king and his 300 warriors who will not surrender and not accept any peace offers - All they know and all they will do is just keep on fighting till the bitter end.

Urbania (DVD)

A lost soul wants to be heard, loneliness want to tell us a story about... not quite sure till we hit the slow motion effect. - A homosexual story.

Two men fall in love - Gay bashers kill one. The other is in desperate need for revange and to re-unit with his loved one.

- A great profile into the mind of gay basher - and great sound mixing.

The Perfect man ( DVD )

A single mother moves with her two daughters to a new town to avoid dealing with her relationships. "This' Boys Life." - Girly style following the constant search/dream for the perfect match. - All happy, romantic Hollywood movies end in perfection, or/and - an indication of perfection. - this one too. What can I say? Cute and vain all over, don't vomit.

Out-takes show us how much fun it is to shoot a movie. Also to find on the DVD a conversation between the two leading ladies about parenthood.

Junked (DVD)

This movie follows a group of four junkies, one leader, another who wants the leadership and two other weak followers; A sexually confused boy and a whore who dreams about going to India.

A low budget movie, based on a true story, shot in a old factory - looks to me like somewhere downtown L.A. - what makes one of the plots - ('wanting to go to California') not believable.

The painted Vail

This movie is set in the amazing China. - I just want to get on the plane and go there; to the fields and old cities.

It starts with a promising falling in love scene followed by a very fun family conversation.
The story develops, the unsatisfied human nature wants more, hurts the good and is confronted with the truth.

A great journey, time and a great piano score can heal past love wounds, sadly they don't cure the deadly Cholera diseases the doctor is there to fight.

Frenzy. (DVD)

Rape and kill, what a great terrifying concept. A hunt for the guilty with increasing circumstances leading the police to incriminate the innocent.
The addition of sex to the Hitch(A)cock movie is just a treat.

Set in London darling, very stylish, british, lots of suspense, black sense of humor (my favorite) and birds view of hyde-park corner or it maybe Marble-Arch.

A must see.

Zodiac

An epic investigation without an ending. Suspense thriller, a hunt for the 60's - 70's Zodiac killer.

A few horrid killings and lots of speculation, following leads with no real results.

Jake Gyllenhaal is a cartoonist so obsessed with the killer's codes he starts his own investigation. A lovable charecter, all the girls in the theater scream sometimes for his safety.

Mark Ruffalo performance as the detective is great.

Oct. 11 (my birthday) appears twice during the movie. This date is also Claude's birthday. (The lead character in the movie HAIR) and it's Michael Douglas characters' birthday (Nicholas Van Orton) in the movie: 'THE GAME'.
