This is not a love story.
It is a story about love.
Indeed it is.
Tom is your typical romantic girl (typo that stays). He believes in fate, destiny, love at first sight, being in love forever and ever etc...
The first time he saw Summer, he knew she was the One.
But Summer doesn't really believe in love, she'd rather be alone and not attached to anybody ... Anyway, your typical guy.
This is not a love story.
It is a story about love.
I really enjoyed how the movie was done. The actors were genuine and the photography reminiscent of the 50s... Paired with the fashion choice, it gave some kind of a timeless feeling to the movie. The editing reminded me sometimes of Amelie which helped adding a coat of cuteness overall the whole movie.
I liked how the movie did its own tweak on relationships. Maybe that's why I agree with the tagline so much.
It is not your typical romantic comedy.
We had some conversations about the main characters actions and reactions through the whole movie.
My friend was right , this is the kind of movie that makes you think.
Actually, I'm sorry it took me so long to review the "movie of 2009" but I didn't really know how to introduce it...Till today.
I just found this link and I thought it was the perfect review/summary of the movie... People raved about the technology but you have to say that the story.concept of the movie was really so-so. The message behind it is great but unfortunately from what I've heard, it didn't really go through as everybody is still talking about how the visuals were impressing.
I didn't even find the effects to be wow-ing. To be honest, I felt the 3D images were sometimes shaky and blurry, and besides, I was not really used to it, and after 2h30, I got a serious headache. When I left the movies, I was a little worried, cause it seems everything coming out - Alice in Wonderland for example - will be in 3D from now on. I hope I'll get quickly used to it and also that the technology will get better so I can really enjoy it ...
Combined with my lovey-dovey relationship to Sam Worthington, I didn't really enjoy the movie...
I stumbled upon this article and after reading it and realizing I wasn't anticipating any of those movies, we decided to find an alternative, which is to check the Apple's trailer website -our new favorite activity btw.
Inception
What the hell is this movie talking about? Will wait and see
Legion
When watching the preview, my sister told me this movie reminded her of a very bad one she didn't finish, about a bunch of people who were fighting an invasion of alien sand worms -or something like that , also inside a diner. No, just no
I'm actually pretty excited about Daybreakers. Even if the theme of vampires is overplayed lately - thanks Twilight, I liked how they tweaked the story here. Will definitly go
Seriously, I wonder if Sam Worthington's didn't make use of the casting couch concept because I can't explain how he managed to get the lead on so many blockbusters (Terminator, Avatar and now Clash of the Titans). The latest is the definition of the state of Hollywood nowadays, something that started -for me - with Transformers. Just put the cream of the special effects technology in your movie and you're done. Don't bother with writing a story or casting worthy actors. Will still go , I am a prisoner of Hollywood's marketing policies
Iron Man 2
While I have to agree they did a good job casting Robert Downey Jr for the lead, this movie was what started my mistrust for movies critics. How come everybody raved about this movie? I was utterly disappointed. I'm really not excited about the sequel. If somebody pays for my ticket only
This is a sad sad day... Hollywood casting two actors that look nothing like the population that lives in the Middle East... The last time I went to the movies, two of my friends told me they could not understand this decision when they saw the poster.
I'm not really into Prince of Persia myself...I didn't even enjoy the concept of the game. We got bored very fast and moved onto something else. If somebody pays for my ticket only
Robin Hood
I didn't like the huge amount of violence I saw in the trailer and I just can't fathom Russel Crowe -urgh- as Robin Hood. Sorry. Will wait and see
So we started watching Wanted despite the warnings from my father and sister...
After the intro, I caught my sister looking at me and she started snickering , like a I-told-you-so snickering.
Then after 45 mn, my brother , who was the one who insisted on watching the movie, excused himself and left.
I don't understand why Angelina Jolie is still an actress and getting scripts. She looked so frail in the movie I was wondering how she was even able to fire a weapon or fight with guys.
I also would like to voice my disappointment in Hollywood for resorting to rappers to fill the black actors void.
That is too bad.
I just caught up with the trailer of The Road and I realized that there were a lot of new apocalypse-related movies being released soon. I don't know, I guess it must be the new trend but well I don't mind it because after the summer blockbusters, I was waiting for some new action-related flicks.... Unfortunately the one I'm the most looking forward , the Book of Eli, is only coming next January ....
To be honest, I don't really see the purpose of 2012 and I don't really trust the background idea for The Road - it's going to be too much about the father-son relationship, so I'm all for The Book of Eli!!!
I wasn't sure about this one cause I didn't really enjoy Da Vinci's Code. Maybe it was because I wanted to see X-Men III or listening to Audrey Tautou's accent, I don't know, I just didn't feel it.
This one was a nice surprise though : the suspense and action didn't let me down, it felt like running through a big maze and trying to find the exit but don't worry, everything made sense at the end.
You know there is a bad guy in the near entourage but the top-notch direction and scenario made them all look really suspicious. I was switching my choice through the whole movie.
I want to talk again about the direction. Ron Howard did a great job, the shots used paired with the music really helped the overall ambiance of the movie.
So yesterday I went to see Coco Avant Chanel. I featured it before in my blog mostly because Audrey Tautou is such a fresh face and a good ambassador for my country (Amelie) and I know a lot of my readers are big fans of Benoit Poelvoorde after his role in Podium. I wasn't sure what to expect to be honest.
I was quite blown away. The acting was genuine but most of all it was the story that stole the spotlight.
It was definitely interesting as a woman to see the struggle of our sex back in the days and to see how Coco was an avant gardiste in her time. Her views on fashion, love and her attitude were so out there!
I was reading @PITNB about the new twilight soundtrack and remembered hearing about Thom Yorke being on it. I had a quick look at the list of artists featured and I can say, wow, good job ! Look for yourself:
Death Cab For Cutie – Meet Me On The Equinox
Band Of Skulls – Friends
Thom Yorke- Hearing Damage
Lykke Li – Possibility
The Killers - A White Demon Love Song
Anya Marina – Satellite Heart
Muse - I Belong To You (New Moon Remix)
Bon Iver and St. Vincent – Rosyln
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Done All Wrong
Hurricane Bells – Monsters
Sea Wolf – The Violet Hour
Ok Go- Shooting The Moon
Grizzly Bear - Slow Life
Editors – No Sound But The Wind
Alexandre Desplat – New Moon (The Meadow)
Thom Yorke, Grizzly Bear, Bon Iver, Muse (though I'm not so sure after the last album), Death Cab for a Cutie, Ok Go, I'm definitely interested into seeing how this whole thing sounds. Only 10$ on amazon on top of that.
But Sienna Miller makes a hot The Baroness!!!
Visually only, cause I didn't like her personality at all.
The movie was kinda cheezy overall. Too bad they could really have made it work!
Exciter les gens en prenant un acteur hot du moment (Christian Bale) en lui donnant un rôle prometteur (John Connor), qui s'avère être un rôle plus ou moins secondaire.
Prendre un acteur (Anton Yelchin) qui a joué un rôle inoubliable dans un film sorti deux semaine plus tôt (Star Treck) pour jouer le troisième personnage principal du film (Kyle Reese), tout en lui donnant même pas 30 mn à l'écran.
Prendre un no-name (Sam Worthington) et lui donner le rôle principal pour aucune raison (non vraiment, j'ai pas compris pourquoi le film a tourné autour de lui....)
Prendre un rappeur (Common) pour jouer une personne de couleur (come on Hollywood, you can do better) et essayer de lui donner un rôle....
Mettre de la morale (bien/mal/concept de conscience) dans un film d'action
METTRE DE LA ROMANCE CULCUL DANS UN FILM D'ACTION!!!!
Ha maaaaaaaaaaan, j'ai été très déçue. Je m'attendais à un film catastrophe et une explication sur comment la résistance s'est organisée autour de John Connor.
Je n'ai rien eu de tout cela....
Pourtant tout est parti sur un bon pitch, pour faire un film geant!
Mais non....
Aucun développement de l'histoire et sur l'Histoire.
Aucun développement des personnages.
Des scènes mal coupées et surtout,
trop de romance culcul /morale mise en avant!!!!!!
Et ils nous font espérer pour un terminator 5.
Count me out
^^ ma nouvelle phrase préférée pour commenter les films lol
Je lui met 2.5 quand même, il y a des bonnes scènes d'action. Pas du niveau de Charlie's Angel 2 par contre (ha MCG, t'as perdu la touuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuche)
Lodite je suis sure que tu vas aimer though. Franchement ce film était trop bizarre, pas de but, c'était juste un film qui suivait la vie d'un "triangle amoureux" à l'université. Parler de triangle amoureux, c'est quand même un peu poussé, mais bon...
Le brun fait un hot gay mais, selon moi, il aurait du avoir le role principal à la place de Dawson qui fait... Dawson ... Le niveau des acteurs est assez nul, mais je rejette toute la faute sur le directeur qui avec ses plans à la con, ne les a pas aidés du tout.
Ajoute à ceci des mises en scènes en longueur couplées à des histoires secondaires trèeeees secondaires (mais c'est les plus drôles) et le résultat donne ceci.
A mess.
Le seul truc hype c'est que c'est tire d'un film de Breast Easton Ellis, mr. "American Psycho". C'est tout.
So , à vrai dire je sais pas pourquoi je suis arrivée sur un tel lien. Je pense que je me suis demandée ce que la série Twilight pouvait avoir de si bien, et je me suis dit, allez essaye donc, les trailers c'est plus ou moins senser te mettre l'eau à la bouche.
WHAAAAAT?!!! WHAT A JOKE??!!!
Ce que je comprends encore moins c'est comment j'ai pu lire dans certaines critiques que la chimie entre les deux acteurs transpirent à travers l'écran. C'est vraiment laughable. No kidding, wth man! On dirait deux personnes super bored avec leur vie, qui recitent leur lignes comme s'ils etaient devant des cardboards.
Ou la la, ça faisait longtemps que je n'avais pas vu d'animé. Ca m'a fait du bien de me replonger - de plus - dans nul autre qu'un des meilleurs animés que j'ai vu dernièrement , j'ai nommé Full Metal Alchemist (the movie) : Conqueror of Shamballa.
Le film reprend à la fin du 52ème épisode, oui , vous savez, quand vous vous êtes regardé et vous avez lâché un gros WTF!!!!
Malheureusement j'ai vu cet animé il y au moins 3-4 ans, donc je ne me rappelais même plus de cette fameuse "fin" , ni des personnages d'ailleurs. Ça m'a pris du temps et l'aide d'une tierce personne pour me remettre dans l'ambiance, mais tout cela ne m'a pas empêchée d'apprécier le scénario réfléchi et contemporain - ça fait du bien dèsfois, des animes contemporains et non dans des mondes fantastiques/parallèles - le tout mêlé à des scènes d'actions très léchées.
Et pas de fin WTF.
Excellent!
Exemple ci dessous, en japonais mais il n'y a rien à comprendre vraiment...
The world of Fullmetal Alchemist is styled after European Industrial Revolution. Set in a fictional universe in which alchemy is one of the most advanced scientific techniques known to man, the story follows the brothers Edward and Alphonse Elric, who want to restore their bodies after a disastrous failed attempt to bring their mother back to life through alchemy.
La romance était la, elle était différente, comique, sensuelle, avec ses moments culculs quand même mais sans excès. Par contre je n'ai pas ressenti la chimie que j'avais cru apercevoir dans les previews. Ça avait plutôt l'air d'être une romance dans un seul sens, avec Julia Roberts en femme plutôt froide et méfiante face au grand flirt -sans finesse- de Clive Owens. D'ailleurs je ne comprends pas ce que la gent féminine lui trouve, il avait l'air fatigué, couplé à un déhanchement bizarre , des épaules plutôt voutées et extrêmement peu développées. He should definitly hit the gym!
Et la bouche de Julia Roberts, sa bouche!!!!
Anyway pour finir, j'ai trouve l'histoire bien compliquée pour une mise en scene aussi légère... Ce n'était pas un thriller apres tout!
Dernièrement Disney a publié des photos de son prince et certaines personnes se sont indignées parce qu'il est blanc!!!! Avant de voir les photos j'étais prête à parier qu'il allait être noir aussi, vu l'ouverture que les "médias américains" ont face aux relations interraciales. Mais :
Il n'a pas l'air plutôt arabe? Il s'appelle Naveen en plus... En tout cas, chapeau!!! Une princesse noire et un prince arabe ... Eh ben dis donc. YES WE CAN lol.
Kristin Scott Thomas EXCELLENTE en française très pincée.
MOINS :
Garde Robe à chier (très loin, mais treeeeeeeees loin de SATC)
Acteurs no name
Histoire qui ne fait pas trop de sens du moment que ca se termine de manière romantique
Caricature du monde de la mode
Caricature des femmes (superficielles)
Caricature des femmes (goldigger)
Caricature des femmes (méchantes entre elles pour un homme)
Et pour changer de sujet : les blagues de situations
Autant je trouve les blagues de situations/quiproquos excellentes dans le cas de Ben Stiller, autant là je les ai trouvées pénibles. Je remet la faute sur l'actrice principale, franchement je ne sais pas pourquoi c'est elle qu'ils ont choisie, elle etait vraiment pas créedible dans son role.
C'est vraiment un film à ne voir qu'entre filles, jamais un homme ne saura apprecier un tel navet. Le livre était mieux et je l'avais même pas aimé à la base... C'est te dire!
En fait ca m'a rappelé Bridget Jones Diary. Surtout la scène du bal qui ressemblait à celle du discours dans Bridget Jones.
