That was a torture
15 June 2011
Oh my God!! This is the praised movie?? It was a torture from the very first minute literally! I think I grew out of such things already. It was so so lame, so irrational, the very top of banal. So cheesy you can get sick. If you aren't a dreamy poetic irrational person, DO NOT WATCH IT. Seriously, that must be written by a teenager 13-15 years old person. Such thing cannot be written by an adult. This movie is annoying, irrational, does not deserve a 7!!! DOES NOT, really. It is a 4. There is no good story here, it wasn't thought out well at all. Such story couldn't even be true, that is a complete fantasy. And that is what annoys me so. I hate irrational things. Beware people.

Too many sex scenes
14 June 2011
If they would cut all the sex scenes I would say the movie is very great, very realistic, very professionally made. Intimate scenes of course are also very realistic that's why it was disturbing to me. I lost my appetite because of them. These things looked more like cheap home made porn. I do not like these things to be in the movies. It destroys everything to me. Great performance from the actors. I don't know what else to say... Just wanted to warn the people who are planning to watch it that it may be disturbing sometimes. Also note that this is not a happy movie. I don't recommend to watch it for the happy pairs out there who want something romantic. Maybe the troubled pairs could watch it and rethink their situation.

Good
8 March 2011
Half points taken because I HATE it when someone takes a real story and changes things. If you take a real story then tell it like it is or change all the names of those supposed to be real people. Congratulations on such a wonderful handsome boys collection. A candy for all the girls' eyes. Basically it was an enjoyable movie mostly because of this. Good story telling, funny. Justin Timberlake surprised me, nice acting. Jesse Eisenberg did a great job, the character was very entertaining to watch. Andrew Garfield's character was so damn cute and adorable, lol! I guess the movie is in favor of Eduardo. But you need to have a mood for this because I was watching the movie in 3 days. Only the 3rd day I began valuing it and enjoying it. My first reaction was to quit facebook because the owner is an a.h. but they made him so for a movie, that's annoying.

Boring
7 March 2011
It is one of those movies where everything is going awfully slow and nothing is happening at all, it is just dialogues of no importance (mostly about art which I do not appreciate at all). Also it is in Italian, French and English. As I don't understand the first 2 languages I am left without a translation and without a clue of what's going on. You must get subtitles for this. If you are a kind of person who needs action and does not like movies where they are just socializing without any special purpose you will be really really bored. I watched this because it is rated high. I thought it will be meaningful. Well I was wrong. It can be meaningful only for people related with art and who like French language. Sorry, I do not understand the purpose of making such movies.

Ridiculous!
2 February 2011
This is an example of a perfect crap. I couldn't even finish watching it. I was too enraged to finish. How do people make such a ridiculous crap out of an important experiment? What was the point of making this movie and destroying the real experiment in people's eyes?! Who wrote such a ridiculous (I don't know which other word to use, "absurd" fits also) script?? Do they know anything about psychology? NO. If they don't know then they shouldn't write and make such movies. Because they only made a ridiculous movie which made no sense. Everything was so out of logic and overdone that I couldn't survive it. It was a stupid, painful to watch movie with an absurd and ridiculous script. I am enraged by this nonsense.

Keith (I) (2008)
1/10
Crap for teenagers
16 January 2011
Warning: Spoilers
Don't watch this if you are a serious logical person. The script is pointless, there is nothing valuable in it. I found nothing romantic in this. The girl was just plain stupid to fall for Keith. And she was supposed to be this intelligent, "a head of everything" girl. Oh, my... She clearly showed that she is not so intelligent at all. That Keith should have died before meeting her. I was really happy he had cancer! What an extremely selfish thing to do, to destroy someone's life before dying! I was annoyed throughout the whole movie. They chose an actor who looks like a total child and I hate such childish individuals with a ridiculous behaviour. This movie must be created for children to show how you can make mistakes in your life and lose your head completely (like that girl). Be careful, girls, don't fall for jerks, choose wisely or your head will be screwed!

Hardly believable
25 November 2010
It was more like a parody than a serious movie, the acting was really bad. Everything was hardly believable. What the hell Anne Hathaway was doing in this??? She didn't fit in, it was the most inappropriate role for her. How could she even agree to this? Joseph Gordon-Levitt was the most funny one. I couldn't understand what was he doing. Mike Vogel looked stupid. Nothing seemed serious. How can so many actors play so bad in one movie? Only the latinos were seeming believable. That was just plain ridiculous. I just wish the camera boy was Aaron Ashmore, he would make a movie worth some more points. And what was that all about? Apart from the horrible acting the movie has nothing interesting in it's plot. Why did they make it at all?? I am shocked how a movie with so many famous actors can be so crappy. How did they make them all act so bad?? Seriously??

Pretty well carried out
12 November 2010
Warning: Spoilers
I loved the whole idea and the order of the events taking place revealing all the details of students' lives. This part was perfectly done and left me surprised in some places and in the end of the movie. The actors were really great also. What I didn't like was the whole story with Marcus. I wish they have created another story for him and his sister was a victim of someone else... This is not something so common to put beside the problems of the other students... this is just too specific and I think it would be better without it. Also Sean's character seems too straight to be a gay... Just my thought. I guess I imagine gay men a bit more gentle... but it is not like I know too many of them...

Frozen (I) (2010)

The worst movie I've seen recently
11 November 2010
Warning: Spoilers
This movie must be made by some child. The beginning was already telling that it won't be anything good because their conversation was so lame and dumb. And it never got any better. The girl was a bad actress or she had to play a dumb person. She was annoying. The jumping down scene and the wolves... Really? Then it went to science fiction where the wolves are waiting for their prey. Seriously? Why would they attack Ashmore's character who seemed pretty well and even had a stick. Wolves are supposed to be the timid animals. What was that? An insult to wolves and disinformation. Were they that hungry...? The conversations along the whole movie were so ridiculous I couldn't survive and began playing games in internet. I can't believe the score this movie has. No way. I have to give it 1 to bring it down. I would rate it 3 if it was already rated less.

Boring
10 November 2010
After watching "Dear John" with the same lead actress this seemed very empty and boring. Nothing seemed believable or interesting. The only nice thing was Claire and Lorenzo's meeting. This story was too simple without any deeper meaning. Maybe I was just expecting too much after "Dear John". I am glad I didn't wait for my husband and watched it alone because he wouldn't survive much of this movie. I was watching while surfing internet and playing games because it couldn't keep me interested. Christopher Egan was annoying, not a good match for Amanda Seyfried. And his character was very unlikable, I couldn't care less about the pair of this movie. The whole story is just cheesy, uninteresting and boring...

This part is my favorite
7 November 2010
While I don't really like this Saga, New Moon is my favorite among the 3 parts that were released. Bella has finally got some skin color because in the first part she was looking like a vampire herself. In this part we see some intense feelings and more action. While in the first part everything seemed artificial, dark and pale, here there are more colors which is more pleasant to watch. Scenes are made in a more attractive way, Bella seems more beautiful. However I still have problems with Kirsten's portrayed Bella, I can't decide if she is acting bad or is Bella supposed to be so emotionless?.. She really can't express feelings well which doesn't let me to dive into the story. It leaves me indifferent. Her father also seems pretty emotionless. My favorite part is the ending where the whole beauty starts, I really love the color red so visually for me it is really pleasant to watch! This part is really something compared to the empty first part of Twilight Saga where I couldn't feel the love that was born between Bella and Edward at all.

Twilight (I) (2008)
1/10
Not good
6 November 2010
I can't understand why people are liking this Twilight. I tried to see something but just couldn't. İn this first movie everything is so pale and emotionless though it is supposed to be a love story. Well, I can't feel any love here. They are too cold to each other. Kirsten Stewart seems too cold, it is her who is supposed to be the vampire because she seems to have no emotions. The dialogs are too simple and not interesting at all, they are banal. And how can people idealize this love when it just seems wrong. Who would fall in love with this ugly pale scary looking guy? Only the clumsy pale Bella would lol I like Kirsten Stewart but this wasn't for her. I would prefer Emma Watson in this role. She could express the feelings better and make it more believable. Now I just can't believe in their love.

Shooting Dogs (2005)
10/10
Very well done
18 October 2010
I have no idea why a person would rate this less than 10. It was done very well, well chosen actors and good performances. The story was portrayed very realistically. I was truly connected with the characters and was moved by this story. It is sad that this movie is not that popular when there is so much popular crap going on. This movie shows reality and makes us think about important issues, about us, humans, and the humanity. I read the reviews which were negative and the reasons were too weak. I was thinking how easy it is to make people fear of some group and make them kill others without thinking... Why people don't think deeper, why the mass is so shallow (I have these thoughts whenever I remember Hitler and his "work")... I felt angry with UN soldiers, there can be no justification for them. Why were they there at all?.. And we call ourselves civilized people when these things happen... all the massive wars were not so long ago... and people still fight... use physical force instead of using the brain... sad...

Fireproof (2008)
1/10
Ridiculous
6 October 2010
Warning: Spoilers
This movie can be approved only by fanatics because there was no logic. The script is ridiculous. Such women would make domestic violence understandable lol (it is not like I am in approve of any kind of violence but this woman made my blood boil). I saw it like this: the victim is forced to listen all these lectures about life and forced to fix the situation while the abuser is being consoled, nurtured, she has a mother who can't say anything to her (how comfortable for that "poor" woman lol), she has a new potential lover and so on. Oh, come on! Does that supposed to teach me anything about marriage? Does that supposed to help me to find God? No way! And that woman's coworkers were such idiots and she was listening to them! Wow. A real comedy but a really tragic one. And in the end he is asking for forgiveness for everything he hasn't done but she has! He must have divorced her and find someone who would respect him and she can have some abuser which she would surely choose with such a judgment. I don't believe in such miraculous changes. Only in this movie it can be. And all those God/Jesus/Christ lectures were ridiculous in this subject (I am no atheist and I come from a Christian society if anyone is curious).

The only good thing of all that was the game of 40 days. I liked the idea and I could use that sometime. I believe it doesn't need a sinking relationship to use it.

Gia (1998 TV Movie)
1/10
Poor real Gia
21 September 2010
I bet Gia Caragi was turning in her grave when she saw what they did to her with this movie. Who can be so cruel and do this to a dead person who can't even defend herself. I bet she wouldn't approve this movie. To choose Angelina Jolie was the worst choice ever. Well, she did her best as always playing a psycho ugly b****. She does these roles the best. I am beginning to believe she is so in real. And Angelina Jolie is ugly!!!! Gia was pretty!!!! I was so annoyed watching this movie, I was happy she died in the end!! I mean, OMG, look what they did to real Gia Caragi! After watching this movie many people will have a negative opinion about her. I had to watch some interviews with real Gia Caragi to repair the image this movie made. Very bad.

Mr. Nobody (2009)

Enjoyable but has no final explanation
6 September 2010
I adore the soundtrack of this movie, I love the nice actors, there is an adorable love story in it but the end left me confused. I couldn't understand the main point unfortunately. I watched it one more time, read the discussions to get some idea but still it seems this movie can't be clearly explained. I really don't like uncertainty. I wish it was explained more clearly in the end. I am planning to watch it for the third time, to read more discussions and I expect things to get clearer. This movie asks too much effort to understand it... That takes half pleasure of it. But I really want to congratulate the person who chose the music. Genius. Pierre Van Dormael (RIP...) did a great job also. Wonderful music.

To value this one watch the 2010 version
19 August 2010
When I first watched it I couldn't understand what was so great about this movie and I hardly laughed. But then I saw there is 2010 version and I thought I should watch that also, I thought that maybe it is more designed for my kind of humor. After watching 2010 version I understood how perfectly the 2007 version is made. It has perfect funny actors whose acting is brilliant. I watched the 2007 version again and this time I was laughing! 2010 version made this movie look great. I am correcting my vote to 10. First voting was 4. Congratulations to those who were choosing the actors. A really great selection. In 2010 version the acting is bad and not funny. Watch both to see the 2007 version's brilliance!

Surprised
6 August 2010
I was expecting something stupid but in fact that was good. As there was Vanessa Hudgens in this movie I was expecting some crap like High School musical. I hated it and Vanessa's character. I thought she can't act but just smile and show her pretty face. But in here I loved her character, that was something different and lovable! And it was at last some comedy I could actually laugh at because lately I was watching movies tagged as comedies and they are were seriously not funny you can cry. I enjoyed watching it, it wasn't cheap. The bad side was music. It wasn't that good. I was expecting that group to make some hit but the song they used for the contest was bad, it hurt my ears. It could be better if it was played differently and Vanessa's voice was out of topic, it was too weak for the song.

Loved it
5 August 2010
Both actresses (Robin Wright and Blake Lively) have done an amazing job. I admire both of them very much. Maria Bello was also very charming! (I am a female, by the way)

I have a problem with Blake Lively's name written nearly at the bottom of the cast's list in this page. In my opinion her performance was really great in this movie, she has to be listed at least 3rd. Now it seems as if she isn't important. I had to watch the movie 3 times and couldn't stop admiring her(Robin Wright also but not as much)!

The storyline is simple but it says so much at the same time. I could relate with the main character because I also haven't any good relationship with my mother. I must read the book to make it complete I guess... I will definitely watch this movie again some time.

Best movie that I've seen recently
5 August 2010
Wow! That was a masterpiece, a piece of art. I am very much delighted. Wonderful photography, beautiful music, the lost generation was nicely shown. I would give an Oscar to the man who made this movie and to the girl who played Becky. The movie was flowing with my soul - an art - that's what that was. Everything was portrayed poetically.

I am a kind of person who hates vulgar things and nudity but that wasn't bothering me at all in this movie. I am putting it to my favorite movies collection.

I just re-watched it for a second time and I enjoyed it again. It really is one of the best movies I've ever watched, I don't remember any other movie which would be a pure ART like this one. The whole movie is like a beautiful video clip painting sad emotions perfectly. I could relate a lot with the main character Victor.

Disappointed
5 August 2010
I watched "Goal! The dream begins" and loved it really much so I wanted to watch this movie also and was expecting something similar. In "From Mexico with love" there is very little action. I wanted to watch it with my husband but he survived only 15 min of it and I had to go on watching alone. My husband was right by quitting to watch it because it didn't get better till the very end. I found the movie very boring, it couldn't make me interested in it. The story is too simple, I was expecting the main character to achieve something more than that. Maybe this movie is more for the immigrants of USA, they can relate with it...

What the hell?? Good ratings??
4 August 2010
Are so many people out of their minds same as Woody Allen himself? It was like a cheap home-made porn movie. The painter is ugly and vulgar, I can't see how 2 girls can fall in love with this man. The narrator was awfully annoying! Without him the movie could be worth 2 stars maybe, ha! But there is one thing - everything seems not like a movie but as if you are watching someone's life in real. The only problem was I didn't want to watch THESE people's life. Because these people are shallow and don't use their brains. Basically the movie is trying to break people's beliefs or something. I couldn't feel any romance in the movie (except one place where there is Penelope, Scarlett and Javier together). Everything seems just shallow, the dialogs are stupid. And there seems to be no point as to why we had to watch this whole story at all...

What was that?
2 August 2010
They were trying to make it funny in a British way I suppose because I don't understand British humor at all. They were trying to make it funny and serious at the same time but the result was a parody of a movie. I usually hate people who say "acting was bad" because I rarely think so but I must say in this movie some actors were acting painfully bad. I couldn't understand the point of a movie. Were they trying to say something with this? Well, I couldn't get the message. Maybe it was said out loud but I couldn't FEEL it. If I can't feel it then I can't believe it. I was too disturbed by the way the movie was made. I couldn't feel anything for the characters, I was feeling like I was watching some bad parody. I can only ask the question "What was that?"...

Not good...
30 July 2010
Warning: Spoilers
When the movie is fulfilling stereotypes instead of teaching you something then the movie is not good. It is empty. The script was not good, unnatural again like the first movie but much more unnatural. Especially the ending. Patricia's and Gavin's story was not logical and the most annoying of all. There was so much violence, it wasn't rational at all to me, it seemed ridiculous. The ending of this couple's story was nonsense. It was too much already. Mike with his cancer was enough already. It was him who needed to be buried. And the very ending of the movie??!! OMG! What was that? Only one year has passed and she already can forget everything and dive in to something new, right? Not logical. And the way it was portrayed... very bad.. ridiculous. OK, maybe I am looking to this more like a drama but it was supposed to be a comedy... then maybe all that was supposed to be this way. But it wasn't made funny..

I don't understand all these praises
30 July 2010
Warning: Spoilers
I watched the second movie first, I read the reviews and got interested why everyone is praising the first movie and bashing the second one. So, after watching the first one I can't say any praises. I can only say it was just an average movie from the many. What I didn't like there was so much aggression, so many arguments over nothing... from four couples none of them could work well... interesting.. It is not normal to me as I am living among people who uses aggression very rarely... I see most couples whose relationships did work out and they are acting like adult sane people who discusses the problems calmly and make logical conclusions and compromises... So to me the movie is about something abnormal, very unnatural. They needed at least one sane pair, an example to others to make it worth something. Kudos to Troy though, he brought something valuable to this movie.
