Zhmurki (2005)
Very good, but pointless...
Well, the movie is very well done technically... Looks exactly like all these "bandits/gangs" Russian movies from perestroika times. Definitely inspired by "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" movie takes another direction and shows us the REAL world of early 90s violent gang wars. Actors are great and atmosphere is superb. I have never enjoyed a Russian mafia movie (Except for Balabanov's "Brother"), but this one got me. The movie takes place in Nizhny Novgorod (Gorky at the time), not Moscow! This is my first complain about the movie. Driving scenes are poorly cut, and I used to live in this city and I notice that in one shot the car is going one direction, but in the next shot it's going the opposite way! You have to pay more attention to things like that (I know that other people who are unfamiliar with this city are not gonna notice that). Another thing is WHY somebody came up with this movie? It shows you the real life as we all know it? If you live in Russia, just get out on a street and look around, very little have changed!
Bubba Ho-Tep (2002)
IT happened!
Ten years of waiting and it finally happened. New movie with Bruce Campbell as main guy in it. This movie I was ready to buy without seeing it first. I expected something like "Evil Dead 2" rest home version... I was amazed of what it saw! This movie is great! It' nothing like I was expecting... It's not even a horror-comedy. It's a very touching drama about old people. Movie is so serious and so absurd at the same time. The King of rock'n'roll is alive... But he suffers everyday procedures and missed his family... Great movie from each almost every moment you will remember. Bruce Campbell has his best performance since "Army of Darkness" - that's for sure! Don't miss this hilarious and touching masterpiece of low-budget (it doesn't look like one) independent movie-making!
