As it is a classic in the action movie department I had to see it. The jokes are terribly 90’s – I even thought for a while that it was an 80’s movie. At the time Will Smith was not such a star and MArtin Lawrence was. The wheel of life…and all that sort of things. Nice explosions. No real surprise. My boys will love it.

For once a funny movie that shows a bit of imagination. Two students in movies – one wants to be a director, the other a producer- get involve into porn cinema. Although completely unrealistic, the humour is light, the characters sweet and the ending is errr…optimistic. Not sure about that one. Anyway, two hours to relax and forget your prejudices. Porn is depicted in a very rosy way. Do not expect hard core sex. But you’ll see bits and bobs.
Funny and forgetable.

Nope, haven’t seen number 4 so far. You have quite a good spectrum of the changes in special effects through the 90’s up to today. Mr Willis gets dirtier and dirtier, physiacally, and balder and balder. His cating hasn’t changed much though. Once again you have an action movie that doesn’t let you down. Villains deserve to be kill and stunts are a little bit more realistic than, say, Casino Royale.
A boys movie.

I have put these 2 movies together as they are quite similar and are part of a trilogy. I couldn’t watch ” The Bourne supremacy” as we had just lended it to a friend. I will definitely watch it.
So we’re talking here action movies, thrillers, Matt Damon and loss of memory of a very special agent. Worth every penny of it as you don’t have the time to think and it is packed with action. A classic of the genre – although no real twist throughout the whole serie.
I am not a fan of Mr Damon, although I reckon that he was good in Goodwill Hunting and in Syriana.
Enjoy.

I actually don’t like Giamatti and when I saw him in ” Sideways” I found the whole thing- him, his character, the story- to be a huge waste of time. But in ” The illusionist” the director has been able to take the best out of him and give him a role where he has to show the difficulty for a man to be trapped between his duty and his sympathy. Brilliant. And he wasn’t the main character- so this is my way of telling you that there was more in the illusionist that met the eye. HA ha.
Edward Norton , once again, has the best role. He is a famous illusionist who wants to be reunited with his childhood sweetheart. But she is part of the aristocracy and they live in very dangerous times. The love interest is almost engaged to the future emperor of Austria- and he’s not kidding when his plans are being contradicted. So now you are prepared for plenty of twists, no explanation of any of the tricks you will see and you can readily enjoy the show. I watched this with my family, and they all liked it. Although I thought the story was not that simple, even kids understand fully the details of the plot.
Entertaining, charming and Miss Biel teeth are doing the trick.
I must stretch that my husband did notice her bum, actually, and was quite indifferent to her horse’s mouth.
Good movie.

If you know me, you know for sure that I like old movies. I am able to talk about Anne Baxter, Greer Carson and so on, which usually baffle most of my friends and acquaintances. Of course if you were born before 1920 I may rejoice you- if you still can remember anything.
Anyway, ” The heiress” came out and I just had to see it. I find Montgomery Clift quite insignificant at his best, but this time, he played beautifully and with a complex humanity that he didn’t very often displayed. Ms De Havilland was great and able to give to her character a slow transformation that left plenty of room to a big range of contradictory feelings that leave you just breathless. If you have read Malcom Gladwell, you know laready that it is only human to mould our representation of our other human fellows as black and white, with very little room for reality, which is that ( for example) a woman who a perfect bitch with her husband could be the most supportive, cheerful and loyal of your friends. In other words, we like to categorize our entourage because it is easier and because our brains have problems being that discerning. SO what I liked in this particular movie is that the characters were showing this reality in a very logical way that made you go through a large fan of different interpretations.
The story was unusual and must have been pretty subversive for the time. I wouldn’t be surprised if it still shocks today. A spinster lives with her father, a famous and very wealthy doctor, who’s lost his beloved and very much idealized wife. She meets a young penniless suitor, but is he after her money?. From a simple story unfolds the extreme of human nature- and in this story, you have more than one to discover. It is a scary tale and a very interesting one: the awakening of an intelligence.
If you like suttleness and strong women portrait, this one is for you.
Ms De Havilland knew how to choose her roles.

The movie is a French adaptation of a Harlan Coben best-seller. It is a thriller- probably the best one Coben has written so far. A doctor and his wife are once assaulted while bathing in a lake. The wife dies, the doctor tires to get on with his life. 8 years later, he receives an email, that shows him a video of his wife still alive and walking. The suspense starts there. Is it possible? Is it true? What happened- and what happens next?
Guillaume Canet who directed the movie has created a small miracle. He made a French movie with a French cast that doesn’t look French art all. In fact, it could take place anywhere. The actors are very sober throughout the whole play, but it keeps you riveted in your chair. The twists are not always fully convincing but you enjoy nonetheless what is with no doubt a great thriller. You have enough holes and clues to make you feel clever in front of the mystery without being fully capable of resolving the mystery. Women characters are very solid and present. Guillaume Canet makes a cameo appearance in very clever way.
I wish this film has a long carreer. It was very good. Mr Canet, I salute you.

The main actor used to be in ” 3rd rock from the Sun” and I retained him as a good actor. Now I stopped watching this piece of crap after 45 minutes of intense boredom. It was supposed to be as good as ” Donnie Darko”. Donnie Darko was a masterpiece. This is not even a pale copy. Avoid at all costs.

Anyone who’s been through University will instantly re live memories of that good old time. Although the picture here definitely gives a feeling of optimism that most of us didn’t – at the time- felt, it is sweet to know what it is all about with still retaining the surprise element. James MacAvoy is great at showing the complexity of the situation his character is in. The females character are all well represented. This is a movie worth seeing – and I’ll make sure my kids will watch it too.
A must.
Oh, the story?
It is a good one.
