Splendid!!
I was lucky to watch this movie in an extremely stressing, pressing (and some other bloody ...ings) period, and I am still astonished!!!
Ten hurrays for one of the sweetest and powerfull fairy tales i 've ever heard. Based on an equally strong comic, unbelievable perfection in graphic techniques, and a simple but touching romance story, yes, this is something I enjoyed like hell.
Yep, many would comment that the story remind a bit too much Pocahontas, that respect towards nature is sound a bit childish, also that it seems a bit shallow, that the happy ending was cliche, ...
HOWEVER, dress up your best mood, forget just for a couple of hours your imminent problems, and watch this movie feeling at most 15 years old.
A tale about unfair exploitation, this time of aliens by ruthless humans, a love story between the two enemies, and a prevailing nature that "takes nobody's place, but preserves balance" ...
Enjoy this movie,
and see ya in a very short and happy time...
Ciao,
Fligoln

Twilight 2: New Moon
YYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!
HHHHURRRRRAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!
Alright, I watched this MARVELOUS movie, I cried like a baby, I was touched to my bones, and something inside me still wildly excited....
Ok, seriously now, is there anybody on this planet and on the adjacent ones who is older that 14 and really liked this movie????
Ridiculous emo boyz, an "innocent" and fatal heroine, and an eternal love HEY!!!!
one eternal love??? nope guys, cos' our little girly friend has now more options to choose!
So, let's see... take the dark, silent, gothic 120%, emo 140%, with the unbelievable curse to SHINE under the sun, and probably stupid vampire (who doesn't drink blood of course) OR
... take the wild, muscular+5, sweet (a bit inclined towards unjustified violence), half redneck - half indian, probably addicted to anabolic and creatinine, village boy???
A tough decision... and our heroine makes the right one (as always): she "attaches" to the first available until the best catch is on the scene again.
Wow, and where was my favourite sad hero???
The movie doesn't tell, but FOR MY FRIEND ONLY (so my enemies close your damned eyes), I can disclose this highly acclaimed top secret information!!!
He went fishing on the ice (because the genious director thought that a vampire would look cool on the ice - why dammit???). And then when he was about to starve to death (yeah he is cool but white bears are cooler), he decided to go and kill himself by provoking the wrath of the elders in Italy!!!!
I confess that at this point I was a bit intrigued about the "horrible" and mysterious old ones, ... for a couple of seconds anyway, until the ridiculous threesome (reminding Blade IIIXVIXI) vampires sitting inside their horribly empty and deserted mansion. And of course a thousand times worse, the dramatic moment where our hero gets OUT OF HIS SHIRT to commit suicide!!!!!!!!!!!! Just remember that he shines under the bright sun and of course this is a really horrible way to die...
Technically beautiful point was the transformation between man and wolf, but ... not enough to keep you astonished more than 2 seconds...
Ok guys, I got to go now, thanks for reading till here,
seeyaaaa

The Oxford Murders
Once more hi out there,
with love and care for the very (I could easily say extremely) few who read this blog,
here I go again with something I just happened to watch: The Oxford Murders.
Another mystery - murder in a university, intriguing movie, mixing the basics of geniouses at the verge of lunacy, well-hidden secrets, libraries etc. etc.
Quite a great cast, John Hurt is a huge actor whatever you may say, and Elijah Wood can act on something more that the pityful short with a ring burden.
But, it didn't convince me. At least not so much. You see the absence of something new and catchy in the scenario, the predictable changes and revolutions and most of all a few childish points, especially the one in the library that they found the secret code of mathematicians in something that looked more like a magazine - probably Readers Digest. Fail. The atmosphere was generally too much biased for a teen romance movie that lost a lot of the mystery. Yeah right, here we have ancient mysteries, murders, manic lunatics - lets have sex (??????).
Anyway, the movie is not bad, the script is generally predictable, so I do not say anything else here to avoid spoil the story.
Watch it if you have time and mood,
don't expect the movie of the century,
and please remember: All libraries in England are hidding a dark secret that can make you rich and famous and most students in the highest positions are close to madness.
Yours,
FM
5/10 it wasn't bad, but neither new.

Soul Eater - aka Shinigami madness!
Soul Eater
Yep, this is the first anime series I’m writing about, and pay attention because this is definitely worth your precious anime watching time.
Just take the classic Shinigami – God of Death, favorite Japanese theme, add the even more classic “school with unbelievable death fighting students” anime story, and of course a list of fantastical psychic power weapons and out-of-this-boring-earth monsters and you have a general idea of what to expect.
But – wait – this is the first anime series I am writing about, which probably means that I like it a lot, why?
Take the above sterilized and used recipe and – after having a dozen of sake shots – add a lollipop-seriousness Shinigami Death God to rule the school, a full line of maniac teachers, like Dr Stein (does the name ring any bells?) – a lunatic with a huge screw in his head, Professor Sid, an absolutely normal teacher if you overlook the fact that he is dead – zombie, and split the students in two groups, one the fighters and another the weapons, and you have a dinner to remember. And it wouldn’t be nice to forget the Kishin, an unstoppable mad being – skinned by the Shinigami mentioned above - that seeks to destroy our – boring again – world.
The story is crazy, psychopathic in a degree that it’s probably not recommended for youngsters or newbies to the anime planet. But it has this quality, this mystery and as the plot unfolds you find yourself to be eager for the next episode. The whole series I think is completed in around 51 episodes.
Definitely something worthy to watch,
(8/10) as one fresh idea based on very stable standards.
p.s. Ah, and by the way, do you know what is Excalibur???
I am waiting for an answer after this anime. ;)

Joyride 2
Hahaha, oops I meant hi there again,
Alright I have an impossible test for you, here and now,
find the movie I am thinking that includes:
- 4 or 5 youngsters
- half of them are "cute" with a slight addiction to silicone
- travelling on a american, large, unecological, burning-bucks, duke's style car
- travelling from a city to another city in USA - and you can pick whichever cities you like
- middle of the road and the car brakes down
- they meet accidentaly this old man or cop that has on his forehead the sign "I am pervert and I want your bowels, and of course they trust him immediately to follow this unkown path to their destination
- instead of which, they reach a dead end with psycopaths, mutants, nuclear deformities, or simply friendly guys with chainsaws
- everybody in the company of our friends dies horribly (each one in a different elegant way) in a mysteriously predefined order: black, stupid and not so hot girl, hot girl but always after she had sex or at least demonstrated her silicon implants, good gal or dude that they are always a couple.
- At the end we have one or two survivors that they think they have killed the morhertrucker (yeah Alexi rules!) and they leave with some physical and many emotional traumas
- ALWAYS the bad guy reminds us that the torture has no end, even when he is burned, roasted, diced, boiled, and thrown into acid, he shows us with contempt that he will torture us again with a sequel.
Have you found it????
Nope, I do not think so, just because I have around 50 movies like this in my rotten mind.
For those who don't believe me just take a bite (Joyride, Joyride 2, Wrond turn, The hills have eyes, the hills have eyes 2, wrong turn 2, and I am still strugling to forget all the others)
Anyway, usa is a horrible place - everybody knows this, full with deserts, pervert cops and old men, psycopaths that roam loose, and secret places of nuclear experiments (yeah right, they used their ground and not some poor island somewhere on the other corner of the world) and many other interesting encounters. I haven't understood yet why all those pitiful guys still stay there. I am not going, period.
So, here is the moment that nobody gives an ass,
(4/10) not so bad, because it was exactly what I expected, and nothing more, the director kept away from showing the girls naked and finally truckers are not so evil damn it!
p.s. Just a friendly advise for all those wanna-be maniac killers out there (I mean there in the states): find an effective way and use it peticulously, experience and repetition leads to perfection, so cut the crap of experimentation in slaughtering.
Yours,
FM

Hi out there, and unfortunately for you, here I am again...
So, this is an interesting, touching movie with intense esoteric action that will probably give you some food for thought.
Definitely suggested to real friends of the big screen, you 'll enjoy it. Reminds a lot of polish drama or french school.
It will probably disappoint those who explosions, car chasings, and murderers with axes or bazooka. But at the end of the movie you have this sweet and relaxed taste just like after a good cup of hot cofee.
(7/10) A very good movie - but I do not think everybody would enjoy it, anyway, I did.

Twilight !
I saw this movie a couple of days ago and I cannot restrain myself from writting something here!
Allright, if you are over 14 and you 've enjoyed it you MUST go to a doctor (any kind will be suffice) and ask for the worst punishment.
I am starting to get used to the hype of how gorgeous this guy is (by young girls under 14) or how many kilos of romance this movie had, but enough!!!!!
I found the story shallow, the direction horrible and the actors - "beautiful" (can't say anything more - it is obvious that when they were trying to really act, somebody was hitting them with a stick). Having been a vampire movie fan for quite a long I was expecting much more from such a movie. And I didn't find anything. Nor the lukewarm vampires, neither the "California beach surfer boyz" vampires that were a disgrace to a wonderful myth and tradition of Transylvania.
Highlights of the movie??
"Oh, I can't go out to the light..." - and we are waiting the most horrible, special effects packed scene of burning flesh and screams...
but the guy gets under the sun and !!!
he shines! (yeah, with glitter dust and he is soooo embarrashed).
I may be too cruel with a vampire movie targeted to audiences around the age of 10 and indeed these poor creatures, the actors, still have a bright future.
But this is my subjective grading and this movie was a failure to my "vampire movie" taste:
3/10 (because the director restrained himself from using real surfers and silicon bimbos to attract even bigger audience)
Hate me as much as you enjoy...
see ya soon

Big Stan??
Ok, I've just finished "Big Stan" a usual Sunday midday light comedy with Rob Schneider directing himself. With the usual extra dose of sexism and "easy" or "cheap" (depending on how you perceive it) laugh, the movie was as you can imagine far from impressive. David Carradine participation in the role of "the Master" - directly sneering his own role in "Kill Bill" was a welcomed surprise. Apart from that the movie will probably stay in the midday zone.
I am too bored to write more for such a movie,
Just to give a grade (absolutely subjective):
(4/10) - because I did not expected something more.
See ya soon.

A new era...
OK, hi out there,
this is my new blog about movies and anime.
If you are wondering why am I doing this:
I just like movies. A lot. And I watch movies. Many (probably too many).
I also like anime. And I also watch a lot of japanese animation (but this is never enough as you already know).
At last, I like web designing. Though this blog is nothing related to the term yet, I hope that this will give an opportunity to dig further and maybe create something interesting.
So, here you will find the movies I watch and I hope you will add any movies that you watched and found interesting, boring or whatever.
That's all for now,
Sincere thanks for reading,
F.M.
p.s. As you will probably notice very soon, I am a fan of horror films, Scifi, space horror, and cult films (ok - this is a bit vague, but B-movies can be much more fun sometimes).
