Saturday
Despite fears which remained even when the first episode of "Spartacus: the arena gods" proved to be highly successful prequel "Blood and Sand" . Long time since I've seen on film forums such as positive evaluation of the series, as was the case shortly after the broadcast of the spectacular, the last episode of the series. But what else pointed out, is that fans of the show as if unintentionally distance themselves from him, often emphasizing that it can, and simple entertainment, and that sex, violence, but that men's cinema, that emotion, classical heroes. Sam is indeed in its text of "Blood and Sand" was doing. As if the character of the film forced his justifying such a reception: "I know the butcher shop, but ..." Meanwhile, in the example of "Gods arena" shows just how much brilliance in this film is as moving-in difficulties, because a limited, partially covered convention prequel - deftly and intelligently pełnokrwiste writers create characters and build / complete the threads developed earlier in "Blood and sand. " And if this self-conscious ambiguity, and how well it is played ...
But in the case of these films can be so precisely that the authors treat their target audience more seriously than they finished the movie. Then, "but" is somehow less important.
Such a thought that the current audacity / bezpruderyjność American series ("Californication", "True Blood" and recently "Shameless "...) somehow must contribute to the shape of their cinema. And may already be affected and so, for example, recently commented quite extensively nudity in "Love and the Other Drugs" Zwick (but also even in "The Kids Are All Right" Cholodenko) is an indirect consequence of this phenomenon.
Sunday
"Medium" Clint Eastwood. At first I wanted to write I have mixed feelings after the screening, but a matter of fact I feel unequivocally positive. Although the film places a very naive and even childish - like in the thread with the youngest of three characters, dialogues, and sometimes paper. And metaphysics smooth, which should theoretically I was a bother, but do not interfere. Too much was this delicacy, simplicity, moderation of some (at the more surprising that there and tsunami, the London underground bombing, and life after death ...). For this nice romantic finale, which normally are very good Matt Damon, not worse, Cecile De France. And this is something that is characteristic of for Eastwood's recent films: regardless of their level, even if it is incomparably ("Gran Torino") or very bad ("Invictus") can not be criticized for his films that arise as a result of the calculation. What would Clint do not filmed there, turns away from the heart.
Wednesday
charming film Rob Reiner's "Flipped" was released in Poland under the title "The girl and boy - everything upside down, but when it appears on the screen original title, the reader reads:" Love, chickens and other madness " .
Thursday
"Sweet Little Lies" Hatoshi Yazakiego, author of the excellent "Strawberry Shortcakes "from 2006. The latest film not as good as its predecessor. Ugładzony too, stylized and rather obtrusive and certainly too literal symbols (a white rose, red rose ...). But, as for example in " Villon's Wife, "it is again intriguing culturally alien portrait connection between two people. I stress that culturally, even though all unusual, even in comparison with most Japanese films moral I know. I do not know if I've seen before any other film, which also strongly stressed by most of the session mismatch between the partners themselves, and in which there appeared a scene or a quarrel, or even raise the voice among the spouses. And the emotions are not only here did not explode, but also lead to a beautiful finale in a different direction than most of the time it seems that it will lead.
Well, Miki Nakatani phenomenal in the lead role. Although I've seen it before in a few films, but this had not been aware that it is so beautiful. What I think has to do with the way the "Sweet Little Lies' has been told - with long scenes in which camera does not escape're shooting heroine after a few seconds because of dynamization of action, but looks at it longer, quiet. Similarly, even with Shu Qi, who when he plays in those of its commercial and medium-quality films, usually it's just beautiful, but when it occurs in-hsien Hou Hsiou in such "Three Times" and for seven minutes it's just around the pool table is breathtaking.
night from Sunday to Monday
feast of cinema. I watched the first episodes of the series of fantasy "Legend of the Seeker," and then went to sleep. But tempted to comment on that. With all of the nominees films less than "How to be the king," I liked only the "Black Swan." Well, but what's there - let him have. A "Legend of the Seeker" is also not really for now, although it may still goes on.
