iSteve iJobs iReview (@stevejobsfilm)

What else is there to say about Steve Jobs’s life that it wasn’t already told? In the first movie, in last years’ documentary and, actually, all his life. We knew about his troubled life, we knew about his ideas and his way of being.

This is the movie about Steve Jobs and as a movie is doing a terrific job. (no pun intended ) If you can watch it as a movie, because, like during his life, you were watching his life his moves all the time. Continue reading “iSteve iJobs iReview (@stevejobsfilm)”

Who wants to see Matt Damon naked?

Who wants to see Matt Damon naked?

The little martian girls from Mars and all the earthly over 30’s moms.

This was like a fun fact that I wanted to be warned first. Matt Damon does appear for about 2 seconds butt naked. If you want more go watch Liberace (just for these scenes) Continue reading “Who wants to see Matt Damon naked?”

Mission (Im)Possible: Vogue Vacation

Mission (Im)Possible: Vogue Vacation

Because Tom Cruise can make anything possible very easily like on a vacation while sporting outfits that are worthy of Vogue appearances.

This Mission Impossible became more and more of Mission Possible kind of movies. But strangely and awkwardly, in a good way.rogue nation

Except a few glitches, Major Tom does everything an action flick needs with unparalleled equivocal: underwater, hanging on planes, driving cars and motorcycles at great speeds, jumping on polls and fighting skills of a ninja are all Tom’s. Continue reading “Mission (Im)Possible: Vogue Vacation”

Jake Gyllenhaal wanted to be Mike Tyson, now.

Jake Gyllenhaal wanted to be Mike Tyson, now.

And surprisingly, he pulls it off really good.

Another movie with boxing fighters. You know there is a saying that after Saving private Ryan no other movie can outrun it? They can try, obviously. This movie is trying to outcome The fighter.
First of all, if you know a little stuff on Mike Tyson’s life story you’ll see that this is a white dude playing something like that, but, like in the movies, he gets another chance. Continue reading “Jake Gyllenhaal wanted to be Mike Tyson, now.”

Behind every library there’s a dying star (Interstellar)

Behind every library there’s a dying star (Interstellar)

“I’m gonna save y’all!”

Mankind is to survive, reviving the agriculture which due to some genetic modification failed in the entire world. And there is dust covering the planet every night. So, what there is to do. Well instead of everybody becoming a little dome farmers the human kind, represented in this movie tries to move build a project to move to another planet. But just the few lucky ones.

This is the first idea. Let’s call it the intrigue. Continue reading “Behind every library there’s a dying star (Interstellar)”

The theory of the theory of Stephen Hawking

The theory of the theory of Stephen Hawking

I respect Mr. Hawking and all his theories. The man is brilliant. In science. In time related science.

The story starts from the beginning of finding out about his disease which correlated with meeting his lovely wife and ends with his absolute life of a genius.

The cast is ok. The main actor is indeed spot on. He makes u believe that somehow they manage to recreate Mr. Hawking young again. I watched the movie and just after 30-40 minutes my brain didn’t make the difference between the real Hawking and the actor. Continue reading “The theory of the theory of Stephen Hawking”

I’m the chef..no,no,really

I’m the chef..no,no,really

“You’re not gettin’ (small scared little girl voice) to me!!!” screamed by a big fellow like Favreau with desperation in his eyes over a molten chocolate lava cake to a impetuous Oliver Platt watching him over his glasses.

The Chef, Carl Casper (John Favreau) is trying to keep himself on to be the edgiest chef in LA, in restaurant owned by Dustin Hoffman. He is divorced from Sofia Vergara (impossible i know) with a son of some 10 years old and with a passing relationship to the restaurant hostess Scarlet Johansson. He gets himself fired and somehow goes to Miami and comes back with a food truck in LA making a name for himself on the road.

As a matter of fact, I am working for 6 years now in a catering dept., so i can relate and see a little bit between the lines. John Favreau is great at role playing. The best thing about this is that he manages to send that passion for cooking over the screen into the audience.  Continue reading “I’m the chef..no,no,really”

Aaaaannnd….I’m back! Action!

Aaaaannnd….I’m back! Action!

I know this is a long shot, but I will try again. More determined this time. (plus I had to move into a nice apartment and redecorate it and …stuff…)

 

  1. Ninja Turtles (2014) – I’m a fan. Sue me. It’s for Christmas. Best ninja turtles I’ve seen so far. Each one have character flows and abilities on their own. Continue reading “Aaaaannnd….I’m back! Action!”

Kal-EL

Kal-EL

Son of Jor-el and the ultimo superhero that he word is in need, is finally coming to light in a new outfit with his pants on the inside. Superman, has grown now and knows how to were a pair of underpants.

The superhero comes to life on his distant planet and is followed trough out some of his choices until he comes to the general public as Superman, Well, the movie begins with a new world. If, you showed somebody just the beginning of the movie it may be possible to not realize that this is a movie about Superman. The suit that we see in the movie is actually the normal standard outfit on his planet. That was a nice touch. Superman grows into a super man under his father advice and against them he becomes a ghost under different aliases he’s trying to find out more about himself.

There are a few plot holes, but all in all I found the new Superman to be a pleasant and good to watch movie. Two things I didn’t accept very well about the movie are the destruction in New York city Continue reading “Kal-EL”

The Getaway (1994)

The Getaway (1994)

I really don’t know if they used a double for Kim, but in some scenes they couldn’t. Although a remake, after the great Steve McQueen – wich I really don’t find that great – I think this is the one to watch.

The story is kind of the same as the original, but the interpreters really made it a little special.

Watching Kim who definitely steals the show, and savoring the James Woods charisma with the twist of the role that put Madsen on the map is like having a delicious cake in front of you eating it with a large spoon.

Hoffman, although small role, gets the attention. After this movie I searched for that latina girl with high kitten who smoked all life, voice, to find out about Jennifer Tilly. Yes, the main actor is Baldwin, but he doesn’t do much, except looking good. Madsen, later on, never played a single role different, keeping the attitude from this movie, which got him the notoriety. Jennifer did almost the same. Let’s not forget David Morse who kept that perverted character from this movie and took it with him, make it a Morse brand. Hoffman, on the other hand, who was a nobody back then and he understood that he has to make a difference to stand out from the crowd. He did.

This is not a brilliant performance movie or some award winning movie. It didn’t even made it trough the box office, but is stays with you. Maybe is the chemistry released by the actors maybe is the pure action Hollywood style directing, i don’t know. But is one of those movies that televisions are playing it over and over again almost every year a few times.

I don’t recall any special soundtrack or filming in a very special way, but I do recall the suits Baldwin wore and the dresses that Kim had on and off, the white sexy cotton panties of Ms. Tilly. On that note Kim had a body to literally die for. The uncut version which you don’t get on TV leaves you with you’re mouth wide open lingering with memories deep down in your head.

Action movie, with the goods to see.

Madsen character: “It’s been my experience that having friends is overrated.”
