Spider-Man 3 (2007)
No more sequels, please, Mr Raimi!!
Before last night, I trusted all of this movie's creators. Sam Raimi, director of the Evil Dead? Cool! Tobey Maguire from the Cider House Rules? We love him! Kirsten Dunst from Interview with a vampire? Awesome! Bryce Dallas Howard from The village? She's the best! Well, last night everything turned 180 degrees about them for me. Now my trust is over. Sorry, but this movie was nothing for me just 2 and a half wasted hours. But I think I'll tell my opinion with my reaction to one scene.
When Harry Osborn/New Goblin (James Franco is still the best!!!) is dying at the end of the movie, I just couldn't stop laughing - sunrise, last touching word, crying, et cetera. What is it, damn it? I think at that point nobody cried - so, almost everybody laughed. I think this tells everything about the dramatic scenes of this movie. Even the worst comic movies had better scenes sometimes - even Daredevil or Hulk, too! This is not even the worst scene I think. When Tobey Maguire gets infected and evil, and plays the cool guy everywhere...That' not cool, not cute, not everything, just awful! Or Bryce Dallas Howard - she gave me the creeps... And the new villains...maybe there were too much of them for the director to control: Thomas Haden Church (Sandman), Topher Grace (Venom) and James Franco as New Goblin - they just became pieces of CGI near a CGI Spider - Man. The villains of the first two movies was much-much better (and there were one of them for each film...) But I think I should tell some stuff what I liked in this movie. J. K. Simmons is still awesome, Ted Raimi, with his clumsy attitude still made me laugh, James Franco was the best, and STAN LEE! When he showed up, I unconsciously shouted "F**k it, it's Stan Lee!" So, to sum it all up: I don't want more sequels. Let him go, Mr Raimi, and try to do something else. But please, choose wisely!
Clerks II (2006)
I assure you it is a good movie!
I first saw a Kevin Smith movie when I was around 14. It was Chasing Amy. I really liked it, although it was hard to understand for a 14-year-old. The next of his movies for me was Dogma. I was 16 then, and I saw precisely what he wanted us to show (according to an interview on the DVD): a funny adventure & road movie. The next one was Jay and Silnet Bob Strikes Back: good entertainment with lots and lots of good jokes and references to the Star Wars films. The fourth was Mallrats, which was also good. Then, finally, Clerks. I was 17, and couldn't understand how this could become such a cult. It was a very funny no budget movie. Now I can understand. I just needed a few more years and this excellent sequel. Now I can get what this is all about. It's just life, time and movies. The main theme of the second part is that time can't change a thing. Our old friends, Randal and Dante are in their 30s, and still just work in a sh*tty place, and not doing a thing. Jay and Silent bob are just standing outside, selling meed, listening to music, just like they used to. The only thing that changed is Dante's love affairs with his boss and bride. He has to choose between them, and Randal thinks he must help. With some advices and a donkey show. But not the plot is the best. It is good, too, but the in-between jokes. What The Lord of the Rings are about? Why teenagers can't have sex? What was Jay's ambition? (find martians and nail 'em...) It is true that you do not need to see the first part, but sometimes you can find yourself sitting quietly, while everyone (who had seen Clerks) are laughing around you. But I bet that after this movie, you'll want to see the first part! So finally, I must add: time makes Kevin Smith movies good. You see them differently when you're older. I know this, because it happened to me, too.
Baiburu burakku (2001)
It's just too much!
Well, I was told that this is a 'hentai' with a good story. After seeing it, I just couldn't stop laughing because it is just too stupid even for a pornographic film. The positive characters are just too stupid, the villains are evil because they have just one face, et cetera. And also this series makes the prequels boring. It has so much flashbacks that even that small 'story' becomes boring, long and stupid. If it is possible... After a few episodes even the 'actions become long and boring, because everything is just repeated, and I think that there is nothing that could possibly make me believe this is a horror. The fantasy stuff is just that we see a lot of pentagrams everywhere, with runes around them. This stuff never made anything a fantasy or horror... I wish someday somebody could really show me an enjoyable and entertaining hentai!
Akira (1988)
Akira-sama banzai!
It's been almost a year since I've first seen this movie. At first, I couldn't understand why is this such a big anime, so I decided that I will give it another chance. After second time, I gave it another. And another. Now I've seen it about 15 times, I can tell: it worths the trouble. Especially after I could see it in a movie theater (THANK YOU ODEON!!), I was simply blown away by it. At the end even closing my mouth felt difficult. Sot this movie is itself an experience, and no animated feature could compete against it.
The story takes place 30 years after World War III, when Tokyo is finally rebuilt as Neo-Tokyo. Motor gangs rule the streets, fighting each other, until one night one of them, Tetsuo runs into a strange kid, who looks like an old man. After this, he gets supernatural power, and destroys half of the city. His best friend, Kaneda tries to stop him, but they even have to deal with the army and politicians with different interests.
If you want to know, more watch the movie, because it is simply awesome!
Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (2006)
Jagshemash!
Well, how can I start? This movie is AWESOME!! Well, I give you more details. First: I have to admit that although I live in Hungary, I don't know much about Kazahstan. But does it matter? Does it matter when I can see two guys who are scared of a Jewish man and his wife? Or the rodeo scene? Nooooooooo! With this movie, Sacha Baron Cohen gave us a perfect comedy, which is clearly one of this year's best. Even if it's filled with rude and disgusting, but also extremely not PC jokes, everybody can just go, see and enjoy it - if it won't be success, he'll be execute!! But I must tell, that there was one scene which was very bad: the naked chase, of course. This was simply too much! Wrestling (naked) on the bed because the producer is masturbating to the Baywatch magazine, then run into the hall... But simultaneously, everybody who enjoyed this film must admit: he is a complete idiot!
"Kazahstan is the greatest country in the world...."
Long live Borat!
