Since it was almost a month since I last saw a movie, I started having marathons again.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. 2004. This Romantic-Comedy-Drama-Science fiction movie directed by Michael Gondry tells the tale of a guy named Joel (Jim Carrey) who went to a specialist to erase his memories with his ex-girlfriend, Clementine (Kate Winslet), when he realized that she had also erased her memory of him. While the movie develops, we witness the memory of Joel with Clementine being shown while the specialist guys try to remove it from him. I have to say that this was by far the best movie I have ever watched. Everything was perfect. The cast were excellent. Carrey and Winslet were great in their own ways. The supporting cast were also good. The story was very creative for it was non-linear and very unique. The twist at the end was just magical! The music was very well chosen and created. I'd give this movie 100%. Anyhow, the title was derived from Alexander Pope's poem entitled Eloisa to Abelard. The stanza is
here.
Kabluey. 2007. It’s a Comedy film written and directed by Scott Prendergast. It’s a tale of a broke guy named Salman (played by Prendergast) who stayed with his troubled sister-in-law, Leslie (played by Lisa Kudrow) and how he handled his life living with her and her two sons. The movie was awesome, and the humor was never-ending. The direction was great. Prendergast did a good job because there were new elements I’ve seen in this film. The story was great as well. You’ll laugh, you’ll be depressed, you’ll be in awe with the story as it develops. The actors were good also. I rate this film 96%.
happythankyoumoreplease. 2010. Written and directed by Josh Radnor, this Comedy-Drama film tells the tale of New Yorkers and their struggles in love, friendship and many other more. Overall, this film is great, with a light plot and great acting. Radnor’s direction was great though this was his directional debut. The music was great! What I love about these kind of film is the music. Overall, I’d rate this 88%.
Thor. 2011. The movie is about a superhero named Thor starring Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Tom Hiddleston, and Anthony Hopkins. According to Wikipedia, this movie tells the story of Thor, the crowned prince of Asgard, who is exiled from his homeland to Earth. While there, he had this relationship with Jane Foster, a scientist. However, Thor stops his brother Loki, who intends to become the new king of Asgard. Overall, the movie is good. The special effects were great especially the fight scenes. Great fight scenes by the way. The actors were good. Natalie Portman is already a long-time favorite of mine and she still portrayed the role of Jane Foster well. The story also includes humor, which adds balance to the action film. Over-all, I give the movie 84%.
Captain America. 2011. Another superhero film starring Chris Evans as Captain America/Steve Rogers with Tommy Lee Jones, Hugo Weaving, Hayley Atwell, Sebastian Stan, Dominic Cooper, Neal McDonough, and Stanley Tucci. The plot is set during the World War II. The movie is about a thin and sickly Steve Rogers who wanted to be a soldier but due to his condition, he cannot. However, because of Science and the Stark technology, he magically transformed into a fit, muscular, and strong guy. At first, he became the mascot of America until he defied his boss and fought for liberty and justice. Comparing Thor to Captain America, I prefer the latter better because this film has more action and has better story line. The special effects were great as expected. I give this film 87%.
The Time Machine. 1960. This science fiction film tells the tale of a man named George (Rod Taylor) who invented a time machine and used it himself. This caused him to travel through time. However, he traveled long enough to reach a new civilization where he met Weena, the Eloi and the Morlocks. Trying to go back to his own time, he discovered that the machine was gone. After battling the Morlocks and saving the Elois, he retrieved the machine and went back to his time, only to return to Weena afterwards. This novel-turned-movie is great in terms of special effects, acting and the story. The special effects was already ahead of its time. The actors were great, and the story was good, I was jumping up and down watching it. Though the story of a new
blonde civilization in a green paradise is a bit absurd and the presence of Morlocks is impossible, the whole plot is amazing. I give this film 87%.
