50 DEAD MEN WALKING

Awsome film! Totally in to it!!
 Part hystorically biographic(;)),part drama,part thriller,inteliigent action sequences.
\
Sincerely i had never known much about the religious denomination and political fights in Ireland and theier relationship with England. I still may not know that much but this story made me "get it".The character of it all on all sides(at least the obvious ones)

I really kind of got to understand the lives,mentality and anger of these characters. The plot was moving and i think very well written.

It moved because most of it really happened and these people are real.

Some great strong,rough drama man!!!

imho

NINE

Its like a documentary about a 50's/60's Italian film maker. Like  a documentary with strong musical numbers(a collage of music  videos) and very retro-like iconic shots(almost every scene could be a picture on a post card).

I had a great time watching the music performances. Set in mid 20th century but aww soooo 21st century style or maybe its just me being of the Mtv/Vh1 generation. As an aspiring filmaker-i appreciated the editing-very passionate way of story telling in my opinion.

Daniel Day-Lewis nails it! He has that adorably poetic creepy artist thing going in his eyes.;)

The plot-yup  ...about one of those genius(yes,i said European) European Directors. Eccentric,chain smoker,troubled,bordeline depressed or neorotic,relationship challenged, plus perharps a small dose of " mummy issues" -this our main character is bordened and blessed with the gift to make cinema magic and he's been called upon to work his wonder yet again but....."Houston,we might have a problem"

Its not one of those musicals movies that most of us may cringe it(i'm a fan of some of those musicals like west side story,the sound of music,fiddler on the roof)
This musical is made in a way the minds of this generation can grasp the flow and soul of it.

The story is filled with a lot of passion in my humble ...you know what. I could feel it in the lyrics and texts.
Rob Marshall(director of this piece)has started his own new wave.
though it might be a tad similar to Moulin rouge and Chicago in theme style and era but...

I had humble pie for breakfast so there you go;)

THE EDGE OF DARKNESS

MEL IS BAAACCK! or should i say-MAD MAX.You might be able to tell i'm a big fan of his. As an actor- there're very few actors who can do deep sorrow,crazy,sad and fury all at one time-like he's freaking out but you feel his pain. My Mel can do that(his piercing eyes OMG..!)in my opinion he is right up there with the greats. He's had a few almost bizzarre personal crisis...but i try to grab that he's human...enough said.

SO! about this film.-Mel is in it so...lol. But seriously the guy himself picks great stories to get involved in-so this film brings home "that"bacon;)
Suspense, edgy drama and a whoah!- kind of action!with a little political conspiracy thrown in there.

Mr Gibson has a great sense of awsome drama in directing and acting.Yess again-i'm obviously a big fan and i'm probably pushing the ass-kissing envelope too far so i'll stop here.

Great story to watch.
imho

SHUTTER ISLAND

Alrighty- it's a Scorsese. So in my humble opinion-his way of story telling is an acquired taste for realism in pictures, mood and subject matter. I'm always enthusiastic to see his renditions of human life with emotional gravity that's classy...somehow .Sometimes or most times they are disturbing-but they have a message. Thats all i can think of to describe his work...lol

NOW, about SHUTTER ISLAND-at the start-a mystery story- then a little wierd mystery story-then a "come on-far fetched-mystery story. But then after all that you might feel -aw okay,i see how that kind of makes sense. I felt all that and in the end this was really just an endearing film.

Tendency to be confusing and therefore tempting to fish out plot goofs(that probably don't exist) but it redeems itself sooner than later. Leo completely drew me in. -our cute boy has come a loooong way from Titanic.;) Ben Kingsley is always convinces me. I fell in love with Mark Ruffalo as an actor all-over again.

imho

THE BLIND SIDE

Aw so sweet pleasure watching this and a true story at that. Seeing people do pure,unadulterated good for someone in need was...to be honest- nothing new eh- but the film analised the intentions,motives and pscycholigical stories and back stories and internal stories of all the characters involved-which in my opinion,a little humble -was refreshing. It was well rounded. and not just a feel-good movie-but a feel and live good movie with lots of meat.
The story did not depict perfect people just people with flaws trying their best.

I love Sandra Bullock.

And that it was a story based on facts-what can beat that! i immediately googled  the characters as the credits rolled.

Nice one!!!!Very nice!;)
imho

PRECIOUS

This film scared the living crap out of me. You know why?..ofcourse you don't,because the thing was soo real.
Totally an R-rated human drama-that was the terrifying thing that the film was done in such a way that it made you realise that some people actually live,behave and think like this...that's how i felt as i watched ,it was like watching a documentary. It was depicted so ...so trully that many times i literally stared in irritation and sweet annoyance.

Moniq! that woman deserved that statue-i mean she made me hate her in this story. She made me want to get into that screen and beat her up(at least try to)for her first "heavy" film- she put the fear of fear into me.

In my humble opinion -i think black women have a natural thing for expressing hell's fury or fiery passion-so i guess they don't need to dig too deep for these particular emotions. Many or most Black ladies have that musical loudness and spontaniety-like jazz and hip-hop on legs. Its all about soul baby!(i'm a black lady by the way)

The new girl, Gabourey Sidibe, was a treat to watch.She stole my heart and made it bleed.Many times as the story went along-i'm like-that character may be down but there's something intensley strong lurking. I can feel it! Well you 'havta' see the movie yourself so i don't over-bias all over the place. The only tiny reserve i had was this was the girl's first film and she had to play a down and sad character  through most of the film-which in my humble opinion is not an immense challenge for a new comer-so i'm looking forward to seeing her in something else to fully appreciate her talent. That's fair,no?
Natural dialogue. I Haven't read the book but i can't help but think the producers were more than true to it. It worked.What a story to watch!!

And of course-i was like-thats Mariah Carey!!!! and that's Lenny Krawitz!!!!

In my humble opinion;)

UP IN THE AIR

I cried watching this!!
it was so yummy to watch a story of this sort! or on this subject matter(s)it was an awsome take on getting fired,firing people, and the life of a guy whose home is the air and loves it..until...;)

Probably this storyline might seem familiar to you, but trust me Jason Reitman(director) gives it his own take -its a whole new tennis game and depth to this gutsy and moving story. If you loved 'Juno' and 'thankyou for smoking' then you can stop reading this and go watch this film now.
If you're still here, and by the way  haven't seen Juno or Thankyou for smoking-you should curl up on the floor now in fetal position and join me to scream WHYYYY?!!

Humour in tragedy thats a challenging for any filmaker to pull off.And Jason packs on a lot of meat unto this babe. its a rich storyline and plot.

George Clooney convinces me in this movie that he's a regular guy not a lawyer,crime genious,political guy...

the script was great-not mind blowing -out of this world but very,very good!in my humble opinion;)

and again...
imho
