True Love

Posted : 1 month, 3 weeks ago on 14 July 2008 08:49 (A review of The Bridges of Madison County)

If not for Meryl Streep and Clint Eastwood, maybe this great history would have of lost and it have if transformed into in more one usual Hollywood history about the ''love''. BUT NOT! Meryl and Clint are incredible together!!!! They have a incredible chemistry, only with the expression of them eyes, you can feel all the emotion. The scene of the rain for example, gosh... nothing of words at that moment, only them face expressions, Francesca fighting with herself ... you feel all sadness and wish to cry ''Go!!! Get out of this car, and goes to him'' but, unfortunately, she never goes ...
A great movie about the true love.

Tootsie review

Posted : 1 month, 3 weeks ago on 14 July 2008 08:07 (A review of Tootsie)

one of the best and funniest Dustin movies. I think a prefer Dorothy to Michael Dorsey XDDD Her [him] voice is really really funny! She is crazy, intelligent, has a good career,...well, a real woman! XD

My fav dialogue:

Michael: You should have seen the look on her face when she thought I was a lesbian.
George: "Lesbian"? You just said gay.
Michael: No, no, no - SANDY thinks I'm gay, JULIE thinks I'm a lesbian.
George: I thought Dorothy was supposed to be straight?
Michael: Dorothy IS straight. Tonight Les, the sweetest, nicest man in the world asked me to marry him.
George: A guy named Les wants YOU to marry him?
Michael: No, no, no - he wants to marry Dorothy.
George: Does he know she's a lesbian?
Michael: Dorothy's NOT a lesbian.
George: I know that, does HE know that?
Michael: Know WHAT?
George: That, er, I... I don't know.

Posted : 2 months ago on 1 July 2008 11:34 (A review of The Private Diaries of Catherine Deneuve: Close Up and Personal)

''Let me warm you that these are mere jottings, personal records of the shoothing of fimls, chronicles of my doubts. Almost all were written outside France, and some a long time ago. Solitary, elated, discouraged, critical. Raw. A little remorse, perhaps, but NO regrets'' --- Catherine Deneuve ---

This boook is incredible! The more you read about Catherine more you have doubts about her life. Deneuve is surprising. With this book you can know a tiny bit behind of the myth, behind of the incredible and mysterious Deneuve. You can see a real woman, who have all the 'normal' fellings usual for us, the normal people. She's fascinating!!!! I find impossible not to get passionate for her. All fan need to read it. The book have incredible pictures of youger Catherine with her family, for example. And a GREAT interview with Pascal Bonitzer. I want moooore. gooosh! i love her ;;

Mamma Mia! review

Posted : 2 months ago on 1 July 2008 04:49 (A review of Mamma Mia!)

''Everyone loves Abba. Even Joe Strummer, at the height of punk, admitted he was partial to their delirious disco yarns. More recently, quite a few have fallen for the 1999 jukebox musical - crammed with Abba hits - on which this film is based. That said, adaptations require great flexibility and veteran theatre director Phyllida Lloyd, initially at least, seems saddled with two left feet.

Young, American bride-to-be Sophie (Amanda Seyfried) has recently found her mum, Donna's, old diary - and realised her dad could be one of three men: Sam, Harry or Bill (Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth, Stellan Skarsgard). So she's invited them all to her wedding, to be held at the family's decrepit hotel on a Greek island.

Donna (Meryl Streep) doesn't know that Sophie knows about her complicated conception. The men don't know that they might be Sophie's dad. Naturally, misunderstandings ensue. Will Sophie's real father give her away. Will Donna be able to let her lovely daughter go?

The plot, a neat mix of fairy tale and post-summer-of-love parable, is tailor-made for the screen, but Lloyd appears intimidated by her task. She films the sumptuous Greek scenery from all kinds of fancy angles, but can't find a way to make the human drama, or songs, blend in. Streep looks especially uncomfortable, obviously having been told to act Big. She wears the desperate expression of a clown trying to entertain restless kids. The more she does (bouncing on beds, waving a hammer), the more you cringe.

But then comes the moment where all the jarring elements gel. It's during Sophie's hen night (roughly a minute into Voulez-Vous) a swirling, whirling fraction-of-a-second that makes the air rattle and hum. Donna throws a concerned look at Sophie. What she sees are Sophie's overwhelmed eyes ...

Streep has a nice voice, but she's here as an actress. Finally allowed to be subtle, she towers above the film in just the way she should.

Even the supporting cast settle down after that. Julie Walters is superb value as Donna's nononsense, plain-Jane friend, while Firth gamely sends up his own image as a stiff-lipped heart-throb.

As for Pierce Brosnan, as Sam, his character doesn't have many great lines; Brosnan really doesn't have a great voice. But he, too, brings a smile to the face, most obviously in the final scenes, where Donna and her friends "rock out". It's always fun to go backstage with the stars and Lloyd gets the raucous, wrapparty atmosphere just right.

Mamma Mia! - almost an embarrassing mess - is ultimately a triumph; an ironical, seriously camp musical that eschews showbiz polish and instead celebrates fallible human beings and their need for pleasure. Its mood is infectious. I've never been tempted to dance in a cinema. When they played Waterloo at the end of this film, I succumbed.''

Lolita review

Posted : 2 months ago on 1 July 2008 12:35 (A review of Lolita)

Better Than Kubrick's version but nothing is better then Nabokov. Anyway, i loove this movie. Jeremy Irons creates a great performance, Humbert is smart, romantic, soul-sick and Dominique Swain is extraordinary as Lolita.

The best of Deneuve

Posted : 2 months ago on 1 July 2008 12:13 (A review of Repulsion)

Excellent, one of the most disturbing and intense psychological movie. The simple and silent performance of Deneuve is classic! You can feel all her uncontrols emotional. A suffocating movie.
