Although I like the story and acting in The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, I also feel that it is extremely violent and sadistic. The latter I feel destroys some of the entertainment value of the movie. That said, the mystery and suspense are captured very nicely with great camera work and masterful direction.
The mesmerizing crime film A Prophet gets rolling quickly and then settles in to some interesting character development and storytelling to it’s twisted ending. The acting, directing, cinematography are superb making it a must see for film buffs, prison drama lovers and filmmaking students. A Prophet was nominated for an Oscar for Best Foreign Film.
Once in a while a film comes along with two great comedians. In fact it is like a match made in heaven because the audience gets a double chance to let loose some laughter. Well this is the situation that Date Night was to offer, except the producers should have checked whether the two main stars styles of comedy would generate the laughter needed to get an audience to connect.
Nominated for an Academy Award for best foreign film, Ajami comes to American theatres with a stark depiction of what culture clash is like in the Middle East. I liked the film because it gets into the grit of crime, confrontation, discrimination and hatred that can make life a hell. Well-acted, directed and presented Ajami is a must see for adults.
Teen males and action adventure lovers who have not seen the original (and I bet not many of you have) will probably love Clash of the Titans. Packed with CGI fight scenes that sprout flying devils, a slithering Medusa, and a gigantic Kraken teen males will get the chance to see some cool action on the huge screen and give them a break from their video games. Although the film is a worth see, I felt the 3D was not as good as it should be. In fact, due to the darkness caused by the 3D glasses, I recommend seeing it in 2D.
