A Serious Man is probably the best Coen brothers' movie. It is a hilarious parable disguised as anti-Jewish satire. The being Jewish, for authors, is not so much the subject as an occasion for much more interesting and witty conversation. The object of their ridicule is certainly neither the American Tzadik not the Jewish community as a whole, and certainly not God-seeking, but in itself painful mistrust inherent Semites. In general, it seems that anyone with the words "Bar Mitzvah" and "Dibbuk" aches nostalgic parts of the brain, "A Serious Man" will become perhaps the most hilarious film of the year, and this is the important detail in the case with Cohen's. In essence, "A Serious Man," this is "The Simpsons Movie" translated into the universal language of cinema as an everyday way of perceiving the infinite series of pleasant wonders.
Starting as a psychological thriller half-baked in the early Shyamalan style, closer to the second hour "The Box" quietly and gradually reaches some incredible degree of psychedelic action that much similar to Kelly - Lynch and Kubrick. Absolutely not sparing the audience (even forgetting it), Richard Kelly continues to swing the flywheel of action, reeling him more and more new characters, then explaining that by entering into contradiction with itself, and at the last minute just shot at close plan. Plot of The Box, placed in the chaos of the decade. It is so layered, that it is absolutely pointless to discuss the ranking of importance raised by the director of the movie. However, merged into one crazy idea of science fiction of 70's, dozens of conspiracy theories, including human psychology and even his own biography, Richard Kelly still rules.
Star Trek is a devilishly vigorous, beautiful and sometimes even enchanting movie. The action runs so fast that it sometimes seems: there was some fiddling with the space-time continuum. The magnificent scenes like a desperate ram by Kelvin of the more powerful opponent, a trio landing near a penetrating the Planet energy borax, the emerges from a warp jump, blazing with all guns Enterprise will stick in the memory for a long time. Add to this the excellent casting, which, coupled with some rethinking of the character hits the bull's-eye thing.
The Young Victoria was produced by Martin Scorsese, on the one hand, and Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, on the other hand. It is felt, respectively, and the American swing, and the English trembling breathing at the mouth of the Victoria and Albert. The combined effort of the ethnic, as well as budget of $ 50 million allows expecting, perhaps something more intimate than the movie version of Cinderella. However, it turned out beautiful fairy tale about a princess, initially did not have any chance at the throne, and even more so, for good luck.
There is nothing to judge in Astroboy. It is a colorful, light-footed and frivolous animated movie, which maintains the balance of the funny, childish, bright and exciting things. Plus, the director David Bowers, has a phenomenal talent for details. The second and the third plans of crowds showcase so much funny characters, ingenious vignettes and additional jokes that willy-nilly, you become distracted from the shortcomings of the plot. Bowers generally leads the viewer through the film, like all the time dancing. And this "dizzying ease" is very captivating. Maybe buzzwords like "brilliant", "phenomenal" and "stunning" will sound to loud for the Astroboy. But here's the epithet "good", which is no less worthy. And Astroboy has earned it."
Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant is the next stage of the conquest of the bloodsuckers for multiplexes: here they appear not only as the part of current reality, but as completely safe and miserable creatures. And once it comes to that, their fanged characters have become the part of common world. The witty and funny Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant just lifts the curtain in their world. But if the adventures of Bella Swan still evoke the angst on the out-of-puberty fans, after watching The Vampire's Assistant all those adults will have quite a dreamy smile.
(500) Days of Summer is not just a romantic comedy, it is what it should be, ideally, the unusual, even eccentric, and at the same time, air light. Moreover, this is a perfect romantic comedy of its time. It does not bore by a linear narrative, does not read the morals, and does not buried in the slop. Of course, we can say that the cartoon bird, The Graduate movie and The Seventh Seal parody is a somewhat wild combination, but generally it works in the film, the main idea of which is that "weather has no bad weather."
Talented Michael Moore directed another glorious documentary. Capitalism: A Love Story is bit less entertaining than the 9/11 Fahrenheit or Bowling for Columbine. But despite this, Moore is a man who knows what to cling to government. As always, he addresses important issues: the capitalism and the banking system.From the outset he greatly compared the social order of the Roman Empire and the United States. He also showcased his own autobiographical experiences (he was even filmed his father). Undoubtedly, it is worth mentioning a lot of interesting facts, which are unknown for the people inexperienced in politics. "In this film Michael Moore shows as who is in charge of the government, in whose hands, in fact, America is, who has the last word. There are lots Michael Moore's amusing humor, but everything is based on the serious accusations. This time he decided to make the citizen's arrests and return the money from banks in the U.S. treasury."
Hangover immediately knocks down by the hurricane humor. Is not always this sense of humor is bontone, but almost always successful. Hangover is a movie with a very clever composition and structure: there are amazing flash backing vocals, and the action that evolves backwards-ahead, there are a lot of plot quirks that did not tangle, but for sure amaze you. From the standpoint of the movie formal construction of the picture it's just brilliant. There is a very clear role differentiation: each character is an expression of a prejudice, a walking stereotype, which manifests itself in different situations so predictable and therefore all the film looks like parody.
