From Paris With Love boasts a full set of catching moments, such as: race, melee, shooting with two hands and gunfire on the spiral staircase. Briefly, all those tricks for which we are so fond of this genre. You can experience the symptoms suspiciously similar to the action of substances prohibited by law when you are watching this lightning things happening on the screen. The combat choreography of all, without an exception, action-packed moments asks to place it in a Gold Reserve and the camera angles deliciously literally in every episode.
Despite all the positive and vibrant spirit of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid movie, it is not deprived of the idea: be yourself and love your friends. The main character of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid blows his roof of the idea of becoming famous in high school, and the leader in his class. To achieve his goal he has chosen is definitely a strange way. Over 90 minutes we follow Greg and his best friend Rowley, a little fatty boy, literally on the heels. And nobody can catch the laugh all those stupid cases that they had suffered.
He is full of strength; he is brave, quick and invisible, cunning and wise. He fights with the elusive villain, Captain Industry, an embodiment of the universal evil on Earth! He is willing to fight to the last drop of blood (to the same as you know from the movie "bullets do not take me, they just bounce off) and give their lives for the opportunity to help and save people. - Superman? - NO! - Batman? - NO! - Who, then? - DefendOr!!! - DefendEr? - Defend O r!! ... At night he pulls on a black sweater, with the taped letter «D», rubs his eye blacking, rehearses a couple of phrases superhero front of a mirror and goes to fight evil forces! His weapon - stick, balls, slingshots, and, of course, a swarm «angry wasps!» He damn clumsy and almost every time he got kicked his ass, coming to work maimed. But he never tells anyone that these wounds he received during a "secret mission".
There is a Frank Oz film "Death at a Funeral" of 2007 which stills is one of the best comedies ever. And there is the Nile LaBute's remake "Death at a Funeral" of 2010 which as it turned out was not confounded the original, and at one point even outrides it. Screenwriter of both projects is the same Craig Dean, so you should not expect the different approach to story. Hence, a logical question: Why? Why was it necessary to do all the same, just change the white English actors on the better-known for global audience the black American stars, without even changing one of the key roles Peter Dinklage as a short blackmailer here and there?
Date Night movie was made in the spirit of family comedy "Marley and Me", an earlier work of producer Joseph M. Caracciolo Jr. Date Night, and other his pictures do not claim to be a blockbuster, but professionally and honestly portrayed the audience a strong comedy with good morals in the final. Message of Date Night is: a family crisis can be overcome by co-experienced by a pair of adventure. And so the adventure can be not only a dangerous gangster gamble, but watching a film about the complexities of the other couple that his example can teach many to keep love and passion.
Kevin Smith, who directed the Cop Out movie, twists the detective intrigue, involving a familiar narrative, highlighted the stereotypical figures of the influential mobsters, petty criminal "fry", an innocent victim-emigrant from Latin America, etc. You can fell that the filming was a great pleasure for Kevin and watching was not less entertainment for audience! Still, Kevin Smith would not have been himself, if even in this "compromise" movie, sarcastically failed for philistine myths and newfangled trends. In particular, everybody will be kick-assed: even the modern samurai "Yamakasi", surprising you by the difficult and dangerous art of parkour, which in the case of the hapless Dave played by Sean William Scott, leads to, say, tragic consequences…
Atom Egoyan, the director of Chloe is well aware that the strength of any such stories is in the nuances at first hand and "Chloe" is all built on them. It is not important what exactly happens, but how it is reflected on the people. Egoyan clearly shows how the complexes, fears, worries and speculations destroy subjective reality. Main power "Chloe" is in this reticence not even in focus on the main character: the movie switches from one character to another for several times. That is not an accident that the film has a woman's name - the final impression of it is about the same as that from a meeting with a pretty mysterious stranger. Perhaps, as a result it is not turned into something much bigger and important than the conversation of exquisite sexually charged flirtation - but that's a little dangerous feeling of rocking intoxication, mild viciousness and willingness to lose all control is stored, perhaps are even the better things.
Antoine Fuqua's new movie Brooklyn's Finest represents lots of similarities with his own previous creations. This is quite understandable. It's pointless to deviate from things were used to achieve a fairly good success. And now, after 3 years after the last work there, meet Brooklyn's Finest. The film tells the stories of three very different policemen, exposing the problems of each of them, and then moving from the private narrative to a more mass perception.
The Back-Up Plan is not so much a romantic comedy at background of pregnancy as a comedy about pregnancy, burdened by violent romanticism of the early phase of love: you become stupid get fat and jump in panic skiping around a handsome prince on a white horse. An advantage of movie probably is something that is not here: not a single moment when the viewer a shame that it looks something like this. After the expected, but still funny finale you can get a kinder look at the world.
Oceans movie has come a long way from the global idea of the Jacques Perrin to the big screens around the world. Perrin commented the idea of the project: "We did not write any script, we are going to ask the Ocean. It tells us, it showed us. Thus was born our picture with many conflicts and drama. So we turned the ballet elements, or even opera elements". Initially, this position may seem weak and unpromising. But after watching the Oceans movie you seem weak and unsound to yourself, so shocking this ballet and the opera of the most powerful element on our planet is.
