Kick-Ass 2 (2013)
Entertaining
I remember when Kick-ass(2010) wasn't intended to be a popular movie and then had a lot of success because it wasn't a typical superhero movie. that's what made it so loved by the audience. I think that the first movies are always better than the sequels and I have been proved right in more than one example. It seems that when directors aren't pressured and when they don't revolve around the audience's expectation, they always make a better movie. So, my point here is that Kick-ass 2 doesn't top its predecessor. It is not very bad and disappointing, but I do have some critics and it's not my goal to make you not to want to watch this movie after reading my review. After all, it's entertaining,fast,funny and packed with action. But, here are the negative notes I made during the watching of the movie. As I mentioned before, a director seems to make a better movie without a pressure. Well in this one you can feel that the success of the previous movie was intended to be topped. I was under the impression that they wanted to make it as big as Iron Man, but failed. I would say that they followed the Hollywood recipe for a superhero movie, but tried to keep it cool,as there are no superpowers involved. More down Earth and real.that's a good thing. Now, the one thing that bothered me the most was the poor acting. Obviously the actors didn't take this movie seriously and definitely didn't bothered to give their all. I mean, Kick-ass is a great and inspiring new-era movie, but the cast made it look like another chick-flick with their unsatisfactory acting. In the first Kick-ass,the main character Dave was so much fun to watch. he was really special in a way, but in the sequel that special part was lost. Although,we can say that this movie focuses much more on the character hit-girl. there are a lot of new faces in this one which was very refreshing. It kept the story interesting. yes, as for the script, it is much more darker that the previous one. there are many deaths and the danger is on a higher level. this kick-ass is very commercial,too. It has many mentions of popular social networks, singers,actors,movies and so on. Sometimes it's great to see a connection between the world we live in with the world inside the movie, but all of this is fiction and I would have preferred if they didn't advertised so much. It takes the mind off the story line. there are some scenes that made me think: Am I really watching this? So absurd. you'll know when you see them. Very big dislike for that. Enough with the bad stuff, on the other hand I really loved the chemistry between Kick-ass and hit-girl. Like I said previously, it's not a big disappointment, it's not a total waste of time. In fact, it's fairly entertaining.
World War Z (2013)
Even though you've seen many zombie movies, you should give it a chance
At the start of the movie, I thought: Oh yeah, here it goes again, happy beginning, stupid dialog, poor scenario and always the same virus. But, I was wrong. The tempo of this movie was very fast. There is a lot of going on. I thought it was predictable, that it was going to be stuck on one scene till the end. But, that was not the case. The scenes,the places, the characters kept on changing, except the main lead of course. It's not a very scary movie (said from a person that is easily scared), but there are some scenes in which the biggest cities in the world are shown, filled with zombies at every corner and it makes you wonder how you will react in a similar situation; when there is nothing but panic and chaos. It's not some memorable movie, but it's very entertaining and definitely worth seeing (at the cinema also).
Being John Malkovich (1999)
I've never seen anything like this
Finally, after glimpsing scenes of this movie on TV for 14 years, I decided to watch it. It's something I've never seen before, it's so original and creative. Sure, the main plot - being someone else or being in somebody else's body or mind has definitely been done over the years, but none has been so captivating and thrilling like this one. But, I can't help thinking about this movie as weird. There's so much weird stuff going on. But, that's certainly what makes this movie so beautiful and unique. I couldn't help, but feel entrapped in that world together with the characters, too. Yes, somehow the story is written in that way to make this phenomenon seem so real and natural. Maybe because they took a person from the real world: John Malkovich. His real existence behind the scenes makes us believe more in what is happening in the movie. I also like to compliment the actresses . They were driving me crazy in the most curious way. I can't say that there is something bad about this movie. The ending was so clever and even perfect for me. Because it showed how all good things must come to an end(at least good for someone). Also, worth mentioning is the obsessive love that Graig Schwartz (John Cusack) feels for this one woman. Brilliantly performed by John Cusack. Whenever he was feeling miserable and lost, I was too. About John Malkovich, I can say he was the cherry on top of the cake.
Tucker and Dale vs Evil (2010)
It's okay
Recently, I came to like comedy-horror movies. But, you can see right away that in this movie, the comedy wins. It wasn't scary, it was just nasty. The story was quite predictable for me, but still enjoyable. I mean, after the first kill, you just know that, that is all what will be going on in the whole movie. There were a lot of scenes that made me say: "yeah, that will only happen in a movie". Mostly I loved Tucker and Dale and their dialog.There is a lot of blood, so if you're one of the fainthearted, be warned. I didn't like the fact that the main characters got away with what happened, I mean they weren't charged or accused of anything when they should have been. That part wasn't well done. I mean, when you make a horror story to seem more real, you should include real parts of the life, too. There were no zombies, no evil spirits or creatures, so why exclude the reality. And that is why I say "only in a movie!". Be as it is, I expected more of this movie.
Goon (2011)
Nothing special
Hm, just an average movie. I place it in the category: already-seen. Sure, don't get me wrong, it doesn't suck, it has some good funny scenes and humor. But, the story is predictable. It's a about a hockey team who suck at the beginning, but in the end they win of course. And all thanks to this guy Doug(Sean).Like I said, already seen. Also, it has too much violence. I only watched it because I wanted an "easy" film, something to cheer me up. I'm almost sure, it will be better if you watch it in company. I'm so not impressed by it. I guess this movie was my choice because I've seen all the other good comedies. If this is your first choice for a comedy, I suggest you look up some others.
In Bruges (2008)
Not a big deal
I'm going to start with the good things about this movie. 1)The great crew of actors and their well done acting. We have Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson and Ralph Fiennes who was the best of them all. He appeared the least but did a hell of a job. But, that doesn't mean the others failed, all of them made this movie good. And this is one of the reasons I enjoyed it. 2)The place. The title says it. In Bruges. I don't know if that is where the movie is really shot, but still it is a beautiful small town and we get a chance to see it in more than one scene. 3)The story and the twist. Colin's character(Ray) is a hit-man and comes in Bruges with Brendan's character(Ken), because he accidentally killed a little boy. What they don't know, is that Ralph's character(Harry) sent them there, so that Ray could have nice time before Ken killed him. But, of course that is not so simple. In the end, Harry has to come and do the job himself and he ends up having the same faith as Ray, expect he didn't kill a little boy, but a dwarf and he doesn't realize that.
The things that didn't make this movie awesome: 1)It was quite slow,quiet and at moments boring. The only action we see is in the last 10 minutes. But, if you like interesting dialog, it should be OK. 2)When I searched it here at IMDb, they tagged it as a comedy first. It definitely isn't. It has very,very little humor if you know to recognize it because the characters aren't even trying to be funny, and funnily enough, that's the funny. 3)Almost all the three main characters die.I didn't like that. I usually connect with the characters and I don't want them to die, but sometimes I accept a tragic end if it will make the movie great. And maybe it does for this one. Any way, if you don't mind if the lead actors die, then you should enjoy it.
Paul (2011)
A different kind of alien movie that turned out to be awesome!
First, I feel like I need to say what I love the most about this movie: No matter how serious,dangerous,tense or emotional the situation the characters were in, there was always something funny to relieve that tension in the most hilarious way when you at least expect it. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost have already proved themselves in number of other comedy movies and I consider them one of the best duo of actors. This time, the set is different. They are English nerds in America who meet an alien. I like the fact that the makers of the movie didn't try to create an original alien, but stuck on the one who we've always known to recognize(there's actually an explanation about this in the movie by Paul which for me made a perfect sense). This movie may have started a little bit slow and not very promising, but I guarantee you that that's not the case. The whole movie is kind of a chase between all the characters and it has a great action in the ending. Also, be warned that a lot of swearing is used, but it doesn't sound so bad and rude. It's actually very funny. For me, this comedy had me very entertained and it kept surprising me. Definitely one of the best comedy movies that appeared in the last few years.
Monsters University (2013)
Very enjoyable and worth the time
Monsters University is the sequel i.e. prequel to the first movie Monsters Inc.It is a very good and funny movie for children, and for adults also. I recommend to watch the first Monsters movie first, because this one will be so much funnier when you connect the dots. I don't think anyone can dislike this movie and you definitely won't regret watching it. It has humor, funny scenes, a story and it gives great message about friendship. The only thing I didn't like about this movie, is that I already predicted some of the up-coming scenes. But, maybe that's just me. Any way, the ending did surprised me, in the best way. So, don't waste time reading all reviews, call a friend,make popcorn and get ready to laugh out loud.
