Numb (2007)



«Numb» remind me of «Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind» with Jim Carrey. There is the same, comedy actor playing quite dramatic role with some psychological issues and style of the film that creates warm feeling at the end.
Film is wonderful and attracts you straight from the start and not letting you go till the end. I was glad to see Matthew Perry in dramatic role. By watching main character Hudson, from the start you understand that the person isn’t psycho, but he thinks about himself as freak and creates barrier from outside people and environment.
By not looking at the factor that film is drama, it is still quite funny. Also at some scenes you even want to say ‘Here we go! There is Chandler Bing!’ But no, it’s not him, Hudson is the side of Matthew acting that we haven’t seen before and didn’t know about.

Le Prix à Payer (2007)



Jean-Pierre Ménard ( Christian Clavier) has got everything is sorted in his life – profitable and good job, student daughter and beautiful wife who have good shoes, cloth and have enough money to do whatever they want.
But now Menard have problem – his wife stopped pay attention to him, stopped prepare his ties, stopped go to café with him, stopped visit him at work and at the end sleeps in different room. What to do? How to make relationship work?
When Menard becomes completely depressed, his driver gives him advice – like”take the golden visa card from wife and she will give you love and warmth all you want”. But one thing, kind driver forgot to mention that he has got also problems with his mistress at home.
Flashing dialogues, ridiculous situations in the movie – all it makes us to laugh, but thus closer to the end of film the all audience turn into more sad and more sad
At the end I think what movie tries to show that it is a pity both women, and the men, bound to be engaged in business that they not love and to suffer people who are actually that even close to you. Finally both rich and poor only seek to survive in this world in any ways. And this game on a survival transforms a life into the nonsense filled by lovers, shops or work in « Gallery Lafayette ».

L’ultiomo Bacio (2001)




Great Film!

Finally authors didn’t imagine something and showed the real thing.
Feelings and worries of main actors of the film will understand every man, who had proper serious relationship that end up with breakup, but everyone have to see it.

Very unusual film. You should not see it if you are hoping to laugh while watching the movie, because you won’t be able to see much comedy in there. But I suggest movie to those who are thinking of future serious relationship and family. What is interesting about this movie is that it touches theme such as mid crisis of 30 year old and presents not romantic comedy but drama, especially serious one. This film will persuade to rethink if you are ready for serious relationship or make stronger your thought that you are ready.

This movie reflects to the true life! I think everyone will see bit of self in each character, because it’s our time, our life and it’s about US!

Click (2006)


To be honest, I didn’t expect it! I was quite impressed to see that Americans can make a movie with minimum amount of stupid jokes, but the one that makes you laugh almost non-stop. But laghing stops half way through the movie as straight away drama part is starting. Usually drama is mixed with humor or vice versa, but in this film, fun stops completely and starts very sad storyline that almost brings some depression.

And then, the same way it cuts the drama part when you almost cry and the film again is back to humor that is enough not only to stop you sadness, but also to cheer you up.

Maybe this kind of way of presenting humor and drama, writers tried to show that fun in life of main actor is finished and he needs to be responsible for what he has done, or maybe they just have run out of jokes :)

Film is very good, not only because it makes you to laugh, but also that it makes to think about the life, and also that you can see Kate Beckinsale. She was wonderful in the movie especially in pink top she wore in the bar.

The Game (1997)




Game – is a film of films of thriller genre! It is the textbook for all and for everyone because it tries to specify to each of us the value of a life! Really, when a person who has everything, doesn’t require anything, who is succeeding banker, starts to have some kind of view of boredom and depression. Yes, he has problems, yes he is divorced and lives alone and at the end this life pushes him to the edge as well as it happend to his father who has suicide. Thank you for his younger brother who in time gives him unusual gift which restores the main character love for life!

The Revolver (2005)


Film ambiguous, should watch it just for the sake of it. Having looked at the film for the first time, I understood nothing and added this film in a category of crap. However later the brain has insisted on that I have to watch it again, then i found some interesting moments and after the third viewing everything become clearer.

Behind primitive gangster shootings in this movie i saw very deep sense, it is necessary to take your time and patience in order to understand this film. Those who can understand it – will love it. However those who won’t still will have something to think about.

For those who did not watch this film, I suggest not listen opinion of others. The Revolver deserves personal check. Guy Ritchie managed to place in the picture a strong scene plots. He was always famous for his crazy plot turns. Just when you will start admire one scene with unexpectedness another will follow. Guy Ritchie puts scenes so stylishly that it even can distract the audience from the reflection of regular emerging citations of Machiavelli and other.
