The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (2013)
Deception with a big D
I've been expecting this movie so much...
I really like the humor of Ben Stiller and Kristen Wiig.
The trailer really caught me, and I was sure that I was about to see THE movie of the year, but...
Apart of the very nice photography, there is nothing: Ben Stiller looks to enjoy filming himself but has forgotten to pay a decent script writer.
I didn't like the dreamed parts, they insisted too much on them, and it lost the impact that it had at the beginning. I didn't like the real Walter Mitty life part because they were too incredibles.
I have tried hard to see the poetic side of this film, but I just ended thinking that there wasn't any.
Beautiful pictures don't make a good movie.
Elysium (2013)
So disappointing!!!
I don't know if you have been waiting for ages to see this movie as I have: The trailer is awesome, the actors are of my favorites and most of all, I was knocked out by district 9 so I had been expecting to see Neil Blomkamp's Elysium for several months.
If you go and see this movie, be prepared to see : NOTHING At least, nothing new. The script is dull and expectable. The action scenes are quite messy, so this doesn't even save the film. The characters are empty, without any depth. I didn't want to despise this movie, during the film I was saying to myself: it is not so good so far, but you ll see, it ll get better later... IT DID NOT. Actually it got worse and worse.
How will be the director's next film? I'm afraid I don't care any more
Heaven Knows, Mr. Allison (1957)
Disappointing Huston movie!!
When you see that a movie has John Huston as a director, you want to see it.
I thought that was true till I saw Heaven knows Mr Allison. I was deeply disappointed and maybe angry after seeing it. I thought it was a cheap advertisement for US navy and for catholicism. I was doubting all movie long if it was ironical, because the nun and mitchum were so caricatured. Of course it is well filmed. Of course the actors are good, even brilliant.But the scenario has a toltal lack of impartiality. I m sorry but I can recommend this movie to no one unless you re a stubborn militar or a non-open minded catholic. PS: I am catholic
