Malarkey

I remember when Paul Potts was a fresh YouTube sensation; not only the video, but also his life story. So I’m not surprised that the British came up with these script orgies and filmed a biographical movie about him. Every interesting story deserves to be told. And if you like small town streets (in this case in Wales) and English humor, then you can expect Boychoir to be the right fit for you.

I like England, but enough is enough. This was as if abunch of good English actors confused a movie for a theatre stage. This is an absolutely average romantic comedy, which I only came across because of the actors, but after watching it, I’d have rather not even discovered it. The castle wasthe only actual upside.

Jiřina Bohdalová along with her tired appearance ruined an otherwise solid crime film with some real Prague scum.

Bérénice Bejo and Cédric Kahn got into their marital war at full speed. And even though the movie didn’t really explain why, it kept hinting that it’s got something to do with money and the house they live in. The French showcased how the humanity is dominated by the desire for money and the pursuit of an even bigger fish nowadays.I liked how the creators searched for the good and bad sides of both parents, supported it with some very strong dialogue moments and showed the impact it all has on their two children.At times, I thought to myself that as a spectator, I was witnessing the absolutely classic affected female behavior, but also the ignorant male approach. The French put on quite the show this time and I’m not going for five stars only because, in my opinion, there was almost no punchline at all. And this does not happen with French movies.

The Scandinavians have a gift of telling stories from the dark side of contemporary humanity. I Blodet is another one of these movies, but this one doesn’t stir any emotions and I haven’t felt that heavy mood that makes me sick to the stomach from how realistic the movie is. The main character didn’t give a damn about anything and it projected onto the movie. I wouldn’t have related to this when I was eighteen and I didn’t relate to it now. On the other hand, I know that there’s people who would like it, so to each their own.

At first glance, a boys’ choir isn’t a topic that would interest everyone. But for me, jazz in Whiplash was the same thing. However, after I was done watching Whiplash, I was completely knackered out, but after this movie, I just felt that there wasn’t anything inherently good or bad about it. Just very average with the whole choir flare.

The Americans have finally decided to shoot a narrative sci-fi movie that, even though it’s lacking action, can still leave such a mark on the sci-fi genre that you’ll never be able to forget it. It even has innovative ideas and premises that aren’t cliché and they’re not based on a brand, unlike the comics movies industry. Arrival is a filmmaking triumph of the year. Not only does it come up with an interesting thought, it also turns it into a whole array of original ideas. For example, for a whole hour and a half, I thought that I was keeping up, but then in the last half an hour, I was completely lost and I had to keep thinking about the movie for the rest of the evening. That hasn’t happened to me in a long time and I’m always glad when it does. I think Denis Villeneuve is one of the most essential American (Canadian) contemporary filmmakers. Plus, I must thank Jóhann Jóhannson, the master of minimalism, for being extraordinary once again and choosing Max Richter to compliment his non-music. As I was saying, a movie that is genius as far as the idea goes, but also the production’s ration of sound to visuals, thus meeting all the requirements for high-quality science fiction.

In this case, the Italians have taken on a strange drama that tries to squeeze the maximum of emotions out of two sisters whose bodies are connected in such a way that the first thing that comes to my mind is: why didn’t they divide them when they were children so they could have a normal life. The upside of this movie is the casting of the sisters – the actresses who have taken up the challenge of these complex characters. It was incredibly pleasant to watch and it was somewhat of a pure essence of Italian beauty. What was worse was the gloomy environment that radiates only sadness, a wasted life and zero hope. It’s hard to watch such a movie for 100 minutes.

This was the last Scary Movie I hadn’t seen and I thought I should watch it, if only because I liked to watch the prequels. But now I know that I’ve made one crucial mistake when I was watching this movie; I haven’t drunk a whole barrel of a 14° beer that would have knocked me out of consciousness and so I would have been able to sit through this disaster thanks to being black out drunk.

A strangely narrated movie that focuses on two timelines of one atypical father-and-daughter relationship. One timeline is mostly about Russell Crowe as the dad, the other one is mostly based in the present and around his daughter portrayed by Amanda Seyfried. I must say that I like Russell’s story better, even though Amanda’s was nice to watch. Despite the fact that the entire story of this family relationship is getting closer and closer to an epic unravelling just as the viewer expects from the very beginning, it didn’t manage to captivate me enough for me to enjoy it to the fullest. I just didn’t get their relationship. The dad was going to extremes as well as the daughter. I couldn’t relate to it and the only thing I got from it was the joy of seeing Russell and Amanda in a movie again.
