Review of "Inception"

ZZPosted by iris0427 on , under | comments (0)



The first impressive thing I wanna say is I am attracted by Christ Nolan. Not by his appearance, absolutely by his films. From “memeto” to “Inception”, I am impressive by his psychological direct style. You never known what is the next scene following by that one you have seen. Some journalists reported that Nolan has already thought about the theme of dreaming since he was 16 year old. Scientific fiction gener is my preference. A good movie is not only make you applaud at the end of the movie, but also make you can’t help to keep thinking or confusing what you saw and felt.
By the way, Leonardo Divaprio’s acting is awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Review of "the Virgin Suicides"

ZZPosted by iris0427 on , under | comments (0)



This is my first time to watch Sofia Coppola’s production. In my point of view, from the movie, she told us what teenager girls thought, what they need and what they love. In other words, just like a mirror reminding me what was I look like when in teenager. Specially, I appreciate she shot the whole scene using specific light and colour. Warm colour to express a suicide story. I would like to say, that is awesome and impressive. Lastly, I can’t wait to watch her new movie in September!

Movie Review: The Proposal

ZZPosted by Lei on Wednesday, August 4, 2010 , under | comments (0)



The Proposal (2009)
Directed by Anne Fletcher
Starring: Ryan Reynolds,Sandra Bullock,Mary Steenburgen,Aasif Mandvi.

The Proposal although is a name you can just listen to people about the movie plot, but I think it sold for its own unique flavor.

Some men, like the surface as cowardly. Submissive because there is an immediate dead do not want to give up something, this is called Tolerance. Some women, not as strong as the surface. Its own way is because there are even die to forget something light, this is called hiding.

In fact two main characters, all of this should not be the type of person I would like, but when they use the red string tied to a relationship in the same time, I feel perfect.
Most noteworthy is that in recent years more and more rare to see a full zero special effects film, the 'The Proposal' is so successful, and it come with the same success at the box office. So I think u guys will enjoy the movie.

FIGHT CLUB

ZZPosted by Kenny on Monday, August 2, 2010 , under | comments (3)






Fight Club is one of the most unique films I have ever seen. It's not only the story but the optics which fascinated me!! This movie is dark and disturbing. however, it is equally smart and stylistic. The first time you watch it, the first of the movie seems like a little awkward, but once you reached a Project Mayhem, and when Jack figures out. then that would be a spoiler and I don't want to ruin it for someone who has never seen the movie before. i will probably say that you guys will be watching this movie over and over and over again!

Movie Review: Yes Man

ZZPosted by Gamb_Bicycle on , under | comments (1)




I watched it before i came here. "Yes Man" is sroty about a man who always disappointed with everything in his life although it will be a litle bit things. What's more,one day he found an organise which help him to make a beautiful life. He came in to this organise and did everything that they said...Actually,I think,he can be and make a beautiful life by himself but he wasnt have a confidence and someone who encourage him. But in the end of story is so happy.

Many scene of Yes Man can make everyone in the theater laugh. I think it's becouse the main actor. And also the point of story's very interesting.

Movie Review: Adventureland

ZZPosted by dr.dray on , under | comments (1)



Adventureland (2009)
Directed by Greg Mottola
Starring: Jesse Eisenberg, Kristen Stewart, Martin Starr, Matt Bush


Adventureland looked like one of those movies that I would HATE to watch. I saw the trailer at the movies when I went to watch Twilight: New Moon (As you know, I hate Twilight now... I loved the books.. But the movies really KILLED vampires for me) and I thought, "Ohh great! It's the Twilight chick in another movie! This is going to suck!"

But... I stopped being so hateful... Because Dray gets too carried away sometimes with hating things... And I thought I'd give Adventureland a shot. And hey - It wasn't that bad. If you have seen Zombieland and Superbad, then this movie is for you.

Adventureland is the name for a theme park in a small village called Pittsburgh, part of Pennsylvania, where teenagers and other kids can work during Summer break. It has a highschool lunch-time feel to it, with a mix of different characters that you either hate or love.

Sure, it's another teenage loser love story with alot of "boner" jokes and "sack whacks", but it has a change from the usual heroes and characters you see in common teenage films. The main character James Brennan, played by Jesse Eisenberg (Zombieland) yet again does an amazing job at acting "casual", and plays the role of a nerdy virgin seeking a "hot chick" to "meet his needs" quite perfectly. His best friend Frigo, played by Matt Bush, is annoyingly funny, and he appears now and then in the movie by punching James in the balls when you least expect it. Emily, played by Kristen Stewart (Twilight), does amaze me alot in this movie. She is so naturally punk, that it is hard NOT to fall in love with her style. She can pull off sexy and geeky at the same time! So you will enjoy watching her in this.

The movie is set in the 80's, which certainly had the "retro" feel to it. Lou Reed, pot smoking, giant frizzball hair and moustache's all appear quite frequently. If you are an 80's lover, then you will enjoy this film quite a lot.

So to cut this short - This comedy will either make you laugh or make you sick. In my opinion, the director did a great job at retelling a common teenage story in a fresh and exciting way- In Adventureland. There are ups and downs, and plenty of bumpy rides. This may also be a great film to watch while stoned, but that's entirely up to you. But all I got to say is - Just fasten your seatbelts and enjoy the ride.

Movie review

ZZPosted by ronald on Sunday, August 1, 2010 , under | comments (3)



Troy
I have watched this movie for so many times, and I do admire the director, cast, and all the crew because the movie is beautifully made that represents the real Achilles looks, attitudes, and life stories. This movie directed by Wolfgang Petersen, a German film director, who is also famous with his other films, like In the Line of Fire, Air Force One, Poseidon, and etc. This movie also cast with many famous actors, such as Brad Pitt (Mr/Mrs Smith), Eric Bana (The Hulk), Orlando Bloom (The Lord of The Ring), Diane Kruger, Brian Cox, and others.

The story line of the movie is very interesting because the director would like us, the audience, to understand how the mighty Achilles dominates so many wars. The director would like us more focus on Troy's war, where the famouscity become the focus of Greece to dominate the world at that time.

The film was made in 2004 by Wolfgang Petersen. The movie is based on methodology of Greek, and the famous war, Troy. In my opinion, the director did a great job by choosing the location of the movie. He chose the location that represent the era of the movie. the majority colour for this movie are light brownish and white. Also, costumes are essential for the movie to tell the audience what era of the story is. The genre of this movie is more on action and romantic that show on the story line of the movie.

The musics and sounds of the movie are instrumental with sounds of war drums to express the movie is. Furthermore, the dialogue is using many old days English language that also represents the era of the story is.

I do recommend to all of you to watch this movie if you have not watched it

Review of Pineapple Express

ZZPosted by Yoko on , under | comments (0)



A week ago, I watched very interesting movie ‘Pinapple express’. The story is this. there is a man who has witnessed a murder committed by a drug lord and a police woman. He was chansed for the whole movie with his drug dealer friend. In the movie, they smoke marijuana. And the name of the marijuana is called Pinapple Express.

This movie is directed by David Gordon Green. The genre is commedy. The movie started from black and white scene for the scene happened in the past, and then it becomes color scene for the present. The whole movie goes 111 minutes and was made in USA.

In personally, I found this film very funny, even though the movie contains drug references. I like this unexpecting story line and casting, especially Seth Rogen who has also acted in Superbad(2007).His action scene was very funny. I will give it 4.5 stars to rate.(out of 5) Since it made me laugh a lot.
