V for Vendetta (2005)
Interesting and worth every minute
In the first 10 minutes, after killing some thugs who wanted to rape Natalie Portman (Evey), V utters a string of words that mostly start with V. This scene spark of a chain of very very witty scenes, and including the many scenes where Sutler(the ruler of the nation) appears on the big TV screen to command his followers.
Natalie Portman acted very appropriately, the pain she has to go through to be loyal to her beliefs, the nonchalant and acceptance when she push the lever of the train, and the intensity in her eyes when she kissed V. I never thought she could act so well, but this film seems to bring the best in her.
The direction of this film is near perfect, with very fast sequences, very swift action scenes - in some ways similar to John Woo and Roman Polanski combine into one.
I am also Alan Moore's fan and this movie ranks up there with my favorite other comic-inspired movie like Batman and SinCity.
The movie far exceeds my expectations. I would have given a 11-point rating if there is one.
Be with Me (2005)
Be with me???
This movie is about 3 stories put together revolving around 3 separate individuals. One of the worst movie that is available and even better if it is not available.
The Good : 2 pretty lesbians actress 1 true and touching story about Theresa Chan
The Bad :The main story that revolves around the blind and dear woman Theresa Chan does not need to be told in a movie format and more appropriate in a documentary format. No linkage between the 3 story lines. Minimum DIALOGUE in the film, substituted by SMSs and CHAT programs on PC. No cultural insight by the movie and it makes you forget even before you step out of the cinema.
