Vicky Christina Barcelona

I am not one for the whole romantic comedy genre but I was really impressed by this fun film, actually, the only thing that caught my attention was the fact that Woody Allen wrote and directed this flick. I am totally obsessed with Woody Allen, and when I watched "Vicky Christina Barcelona" I fell in love with it.

The settings were absolutely gorgeous, obviously. Little villas hidden from society, overlooking beautiful landscapes and mountains. My dream to live that kind of lifestyle, well what woman doesn't want to live like that? I also loved all the little cafes and monuments Vicky (Rebecca Hall), Christina (Scarlett Johansson) and Juan (Javier Bardem) travelled to.

Penelope Cruz, who played Maria, was wonderful. She was so outrageous and passionate but still had a hint of love and care to her character. I would watch this film again just to see her act.

This whole film actually caught me by surprise. I thought it was going to be a sappy love story but the film was based around sex (I shouldn't be surprised about this since it is a Woody Allen production). I loved this film, I truly did. It was wonderful and surprising and made me want to move to a European city and live a totally different life.

The Runaways

I was actually shocked at how this film turned out. I didn't think much of it because Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning are really bad actresses but "The Runaways" was really damn good.

As I said before, Kristen Stewart is not one of my favorite actresses, she horrible as a matter of fact. In this one though she was really good because the role called for her to act like she was drugged out and too cool for school and in real life, that's what Kristen Stewart looks and acts like. Perfect role for her.

The actual filming of "The Runaways" was really fantastic. The filming had a 70's look and feel to it, almost like a 70's porno (well, only during some provocative scenes), which was awesome because the story took place around 1975.

All in all I was surprised at the outcome of this film and I really enjoyed it. After watching it I wanted to go out and buy leather everything and dress in massive heels. Joan Jet, you are my new favorite idol.

Inception

I cannot even begin to describe how wonderful this film was. I was at the edge of my seat, bitting my nails the entire time! As a matter of fact, when I looked around the theatre (which was packed on a monday night!) everyone was at the edge of their seats. When the ending happened, everyone yelled, everyone yelled!! Once the film started and until the very end I was in complete awe, it was beyond amazing.

Leonardo DiCaprio gave an amazing performance, as usual and actually Ellen Page was marvelous.

I love it when a director produces a totally original film, a whole new concept for people to think about. This film completely rattled my brain and I know it will rattle your brain as well. I still cannot stop thinking about it.

I don't want to say anything about the story line because I don't want to ruin it for people, I want people to see this film right away and be completely shocked and blown away like I was. This film gave me shivers and when a film does that I know I won't be able to get it out of my mind.

Everyone needs to see Inception right away and I can guarantee that whoever sees this will love it as much as I did and as much as everyone else did who has seen it. WONDERFUL, that is how I'm going to end this post.

Predators

Obviously originals are better than remakes but in this case the remake was pretty damn good. The director missed one huge detail, Arny, but he is too busy being the Mayor of California to defeat Predators.

Anyways, this film was filled with non-stop action from beginning to end and a good amount of blood and guts. If you're into huge guys with loads of heavy artillery trying to play the ultimate game against ridiculously and awfully huge aliens on a different planet with no way off, then this one is perfect for your eyes.

Last, Nimrod Antal, I have never heard of you but great job on making this fine piece of action filled art. I hope to see another great film from you in the future.

The Book of Eli

"The Book of Eli", all there is to say is that this film was a total boring one. I didn't get what was happening until the very end, but yet I can't really get this film out of my mind. I'm still trying to figure out who every character is trying to portray.

The only good concept of this film was the actual filming which was very well done, very dark, gloomy and gritty. As well, the acting was very good, Denzel Washington and Gary Oldman are both very talented at what they do.

There isn't much else I can say about this film, it was just so boring and I had a hard time trying to stay focused.

American Psycho

Great flick. I enjoyed it more the first time then I did the second time around because I read the novel in between and obviously the novel is always greater than the film. With like any novel turned into film a lot of information is missing, but in this case the director was smart to not put in a lot of the information. Most of the novel was really gruesome and if that was shown in the film, "American Psycho" would be considered a B movie instead of a drama.

I really enjoyed the acting a lot. Christian Bale did an amazing job portraying the role of Patrick Bateman, an insane murderer. Actually, Patrick Bateman is exactly how I would picture Christian Bale to be in real life, minus the murdering part.

Basically this film has the perfect blend of blood and 80's pop tunes and all I have to say is don't return this videotape.

Friends with Money

At first this film was slow and boring, actually, throughout the whole thing it was pretty boring but I didn't really want it to end.

This film is based around four best-friends and their lives. Three of them being rich and successful and, the odd one out, a stoner with no goals. By the end, all of their mistakes and life challenges don't mean anything to them anymore, like something just turned their lives into something joyful again, something care free.

Everything about this film was plain. The camera angles, the settings and the dialogue. I think that the plainness of it made the film much more intimate and from that you can really grasp the feel of the emotions the characters give off.

Even though this film was kind of slow and boring, I really enjoyed it and the ending made up for the whole film. Ending are always, I think, the most important part of a film.
