Re: Reviews & Ratings
Wife and i Watched Hanzel & Gretel Witch Hunters last week. The movie got bad reviews so i didn't really want to see it but there was nothing else worth seeing so.. We were presently surprised. The movie had a good deal of action in it, somewhat of a story and the hottest whitches i have seen. Jerremy Renner is one of those actors that you like to watch but when you think about it-your not sure why he is watchable but he is. Gemma Arterton is very attractive and in this movie shows some acting skill. Famke Janssen is red hot and plays a very convincing evile witch-good acting. Pihla VIItala looks great in her role as the good white witch. This was a fun movie to watch some eye candy included. 7.5/10Leave a comment:

Sister
Ursula Meier's film is an examination of childhood from a perspective that hasn't been communicated in many other films. The film's center of focus is Simon (played by a very effective Kacey Mottet Klein), who lurks around a ski resort and steals people's belongings. Simon goes after anything that's available - skis, masks, gloves, food - these are all objects he can sell in the streets for money, except, of course, for the food, which he desperately needs.
Simon lives with his older sister, Louise (Léa Seydoux) who doesn't do much. Louise goes out with guys and is careless about her job, so Simon is both the youngest and oldest person in the household; he gives her money, she asks him for advice, and so on.
Simon and Louise live in the lower part of the city and so the contrast between poverty/wealth couldn't be more clear. In the sky, in the ski resort, that's where the rich people lurk with their families, but down in the city, that's where two children live on their own, disconnected from the world, without a family.
The film very much feels like a film the Dardenne brothers could have produced and their influence on the director is quite obvious. This is The 400 Blows meets The Kid with a Bike. In examining the relationship between brother and sister, the film also features excellent cinematography from the very talented Agnès Godard, whose creates both beautiful images of landscapes and mountains as well as gritty, raw images that take up mot of the film.
There is a twist in Sister that comes halfway through. It's a shock and everything we know about these characters immediately change - our perspective of them change, we begin reexamining everything we've seen previously. This isn't a film with many surprises, rather, it's a study of two very flawed children. There isn't a lot going on, but there's a lot there. The director just prefers holding some of the information from us and lets us think about the character's relationships and backstories on our own.
Cosmopolis
There is no doubt that Cosmopolis is dense and complex. The world represented here is a world we don't live in. The characters speak in ways so abstract that this may as well be a foreign film for all audiences.
The film begins with an image of a limousine. This will become our centerpiece for the story as we follow around Eric (Robert Pattinson) as he gets a haircut. Eric really, really wants this haircut and he'll sit through hours of traffic, meet with business associates, his wife, his mistress and others for this haircut.
There is something going on here and many critics have dismissed whatever it is that's going on in the story. David Cronenberg expertly directs, with action within the limousine never feeling claustrophobic or cramped, but rather using this space as a way of making allusions to the world around us. The limousine, then, becomes a microcosm of our society. The rapid fire dialogue that is often being thrown around on the screen are metaphors for capitalism and greed.
In Cosmopolis, the world is burning, but some people are just standing around and watching. They're seeing the world and economy collapses onto itself, but their primary concern is something else entirely... and the final scene of the film, a great encounter between rich and poor, a rat and a king, makes a connection to just what it is we put into this world and just what we expect to get out of it.Leave a comment:
