Death Race (2008)
The perfect Saturday night action movie
Jason Statham is your typical "action man" of the movies."Death Race" has blood,speed,action,basically the works.
It would be best if one considers this to be the perfect Saturday night action movie,perfect for those friend gatherings or family nights.
The only thing that bothered me is that guy Lists.I mean come on man how childish can you be?I understand that he's the one that's supposed to bring a small amount of humor due to his clumsy behavior but he was way exaggerated because you just don't find people like him in maximum state facilities.Guys like him are always gonna' stay out of trouble so they don't wind up in prison where he'll most probably meet "not so nice" dudes.
Final words:it's a good action movie so see it!
The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008)
Are they really so out of ideas?
This movie is an absolute insult to the human race and to the(so far undiscovered)extraterrestrial race.I mean,what were they thinking when they wrote the script?Keanu Reeves in the role of "Klaatu" a silent alien,Kathy Bates in the role of the most annoying and stupid defense secretary which just won't learn that maybe there is an alternate solution besides blasting rounds into the "visitors"and Jacob the little boy(i believe he must be at least 11 years old)who is thirsty for blood:"We should kill them".WHAT?How a little 11 year old can be so blood thirsty that his first line when seeing Klaatu is about killing him,is beyond me.
The CGI is pretty good although i've seen stuff like that in many other movies.One thing that struck me is why would the extraterrestrials destroy us but save the animals?We have the brains,we are communicative,we can express feelings,we can exchange ideas and above all,we can understand things(science,art etc).Sure,i care for the animals as much as anyone does but this is just plain stupid.
Final words:a total disappointment,a hilarious role for Keanu Reeves and Kathy Bates has the most annoying role in film history...it's like no matter how many alternatives you bring her,she still is full of herself,full of her huge ego "We can find another solution,we can talk to him" and she's like "NO,we're Americans and we do it this way.Kill them!" and it's not that's she's stubborn,but she's just stupid.Give me a break will you!
Taken (2008)
The love of a father=the death of many men
I actually thought this would be just another action movie.Remembering Neeson from his astounding role in "Schindler's List" i was mesmerized by his capability of showing us what a father feels when his daughter is in danger.
The movie is just meant to keep your adrenaline level extremely high and puts you in a revengeful mood.It got me to the point were i wished those pimps/mobsters would suffer a great amount of pain(and they did).Yes,it's that GOOD.
Final words:a very good action movie(i haven't seen one like this in a few months)
Seven Pounds (2008)
100% drama
Why don' they make dramas like this one anymore?yes the movie is slow but in being slow it reaches higher levels.I was watching it and i was saying to myself:"Come on,show me the next thing.What is he going to do?Why is he doing that?",it totally kept me hooked to it,it was like a painful drug addiction,it hurt but i wanted to know more.A movie that touched me in so many ways with good acting and a chemistry between the characters which i've never seen since "Band of Brothers".Will Smith did his job as usual and if this movie doesn't get to your heart,you're not human.
10/10
World Trade Center (2006)
Not a masterpiece but don't underestimate it!
Anyone that gets a different idea,about this movie,other than the fact that it's about the story of the firemen and police officers that died that day,is ridiculous.This is what the movie intends to say and to show...the story of those that tried to help others,the story of those that were buried underneath the rocks,dust etc.It's not politics,it's not patriotism,it's what it's supposed to be.At different moments it could be considered boring,due to the fact that the story is kind of slow,however it still stands up to the expected drama of the 9/11 attacks and still has a deep impact over your mind.It's not a masterpiece but it should not be underestimated! 7/10
1408 (2007)
It's just great!
I've watched this a second time and my feelings about it were the same...just a great movie.If you want to get scared you'll have to watch this.This movie puts your brain on overload and your heart on an adrenaline rush and i don't remember John Cusack in films such as this one so you know that it's an original.Extremely good story with extremely good special effects.i have to say,i always keep an eye for how the people vote on movies and if one has less than 6 points,i rarely watch it...i gave this a 9 so you know that it will be worth the time.I don't care what you do,buy it,download it...you just have to see this,especially if you're looking to have a great movie night with your family or friends.
Poveste de cartier (2008)
Do NOT watch this!
I saw a commercial about this movie and thought i'd give it a shot.The result was,that at about 30 minutes into the movie i was forced to stop watching it,because of the stupidity of everything in it.This is actually the first film i hate.The only thing good and professional about this movie is the appearance of the well known romanian actor Florin Calinescu and i am deeply surprised that he's agreed with the plot of this movie and to take part in it.I guess that money changes everything.Whatever you do,do not watch this movie,i am telling you that you will regret it for spending minutes on watching an extremely stupid and childish copy of "The west side story" as many have said and if i had to choose a word that could describe this i would choose:PATHETIC.
The Sopranos (1999)
One of the best series out there
What can i say?The Sopranos is a full series and by full i mean that it has everything.It has humor,violence,good acting,drama,crime.The acting is just amazing and you can really imagine yourself as being a Soprano due to their talent.For those who are living just with Prison Break or Heroes,this right here is a must see.It really gives you the feeling that real TV,and real acting is a thing of the past.The humor is great and it may be an important component of the show,allowing the viewer to enjoy it even more and to get over that feeling that there is too much violence in it.My advice to everyone out there:See it...buy it,download it do whatever you want...just see it!
