Okuribito (2008)
Bit disappointing
Japanese movies always make me curious. A different continent, a different storyline. I was hoping for a very introvert tragic movie with slow pending movie shots. But..... The story did develop fast. I did not get acquainted enough with the main characters. Some moves/interaction/dialog's/motives I classify as unnatural, especially from the main characters wife. Immediately after the beginning there was some comedy in it. People in the cinema were even laughing and it didn't stop. For me comedy and tragedy do not work. At the end Some over the top Hollywood like feelings do their work as a tearjerker. Finally it all fits together. Must be the reason for the Oscar. Everybody happy minus some dead people. For me this is one of the movies I do not remember after a year. Nothing new. Bit disappointing.
Star Trek (2009)
Boring, just another Hollywood production
I just went to this movie and ran away in the middle of it.
Once a was a Trekkie. The beauty of Startrek were its characters, its stories, the logic and the simplicity. Combined with the exploring it confronted me with several interesting dilemma's. Never a dull moment. I guess those (real Kirk) days are over. This movie looks like just another Hollywood production. Every member had a bad youth, even Spock, but once in the Enterprise they become heroes. Some action doesn't make sense. Lot's of fighting scenes etc etc, it all goes very fast just to impress followed by sentimental crap. The story didn't develop, it made me eat myself so I ran away.
I do not understand the high rating on IMDb.
