Crank (2006)



By looking at the name of the movie and at the actor Jason Statham who is playing leading role, it is evident to see that is movie will be interesting not only to the person who love mad drive and action, but any other person who loves good shooting movies. In this film everything is different, atmosphere and all scenes have one mad, continuous rhythm and drive. Statham is ideally suitable for the role in this movie, of the cool and dynamic strong personality who wants to destroy everything on his way whatever it takes. Here the main thing is to have amazing emotions and sensations for the audience by creating quick turns of plot and crazy scenes.

Oscar (1991)



—‘’Stop calling me Boss!’’
— ‘’Sorry Boss!’’

To be able to understand that Stallone – not only muscles, but a talented drama actor, it is necessary to watch this film. Here he played at his best. Remake of old French film with Louis de Funès, this film is definitely is better than the successor. Actor’s game here is pleasant to me much more and humour is more ‘thin’. The situation where comedy has not rolled down to the tired expression of American humour is a rarity. The plot keeps audience in tension up to the end, actors fly around the scenes and everything changes with unbelievable speed which makes this film pass very quickly and with good feeling at the end. And more to say this film was the first one to introduce me to Ornella Muti and made me fall in love with her from the start (even though there weren’t many scenes with her)

On The Waterfront (1954)


Great film, with Marlon Brando who deserved Oscar received for this role, as well as Hitchcock’s blonde, Eva Marie Saint who has played the girlfriend of the main character! Last stage of fight in port and Brando’s look is simply shocks you! And at the end, it is necessary to look at the other great films with him such as «The Wild One" and " A Streetcar Named Desire"!

San Wa/Myth (2005)


This is the story about love that has been last in centuries. It is unique film with participation of Jackie Chan where he plays a drama role. As i know, it's his first such a film, and he played his part very well.

I don’t find the film as boring as some say. It is definitely not similar to other interesting films with Jackie Chan. It just people simply used to those movies with him such as comedy/action, instead of dramas.

Very Interesting movie, with original Chinese representation about love, eternity, human attitudes, honesty, the truth, fidelity and traditions... Scale stages simply good, and OST goes well with the atmosphere of film.

Thoug in the movie you can see some action, but still you won’t see huge amount of blood, everything is balanced and it does not spoil beautiful story...

Sex and Death 101 (2007)


The idea of the movie is simple and original. This movie catchy straight from the start. Mix sex and death so right was good idea.

Watching the movie makes you think as you looking at simple entertaining movie sort of 'good luck Chuck'. However sometimes you can see confusing monologues of main actor and gothic looking woman starring Winona Ryder who kills randomly without any point.

And only the end, when two ambiguous characters, who have no similarity, but connected by overall aim - sex and death - meet each other, then we can see beginning of philosophy and philosophy of life. And attention brought to the main question on meaning of the life.

But it does not really direct on philosophical reflections about true values and the human applicability. Initially the idea was probably good. however the end-product wasn’t right. They tried to have drama, comedy and philosophy together but haven’t succeeded.
