Murder on the Orient Express (1974)
great story-line, deeper and much more entertaining than just a murder case
One of my top 10 favorite movies. i always like Detective Poirot series and this movie is one of the best and maybe most complicated ones (number of suspects and misleading parts). Poirot happens to be on a train which a mafia member is on it and almost whole cabin have planned to be on that train same night to murder him. Along the movie when Poirot interviewing suspects and you can enjoy his funny acts and talks, a non criminal story happening, introducing western countries nations from Agatha Christie point of view. We got American, Swedish, German, Russian, Hungarian, French, Italian, Greek, Scottish, ... which is quite entertaining and a great job (you be agreed with writer or not, you still we give her many points). Me myself, enjoyed the under layer nations behavior more than confusing criminal case, not that after ending conclusion i still find it difficult to understand, but number of suspects and that actually are were involved almost equally, was quite different compare with other same category movies. Beside the murder case and different nations behavior, at the end, you got to make a moral decision, to agree with Poirot to call the case closed as the victim was indeed a brutal murderer or leave the case to police ( Yugoslavian) or as you can say "to the law".
Kidnap (2017)
great movie to show mother love
a movie that shows, messing with a mom about her son is a very bad idea, specially if she is a black mom. Movie have a great message, don't count just on police, protect your belonging and family with all you could and never give up, that's how you turn from a waiter to hero in just a day. great movie also to fight with racism, to show not all blacks are gangster and all whites are angels sent from heaven, all are human, live in same country and fighting to improve their society and defend values.
Personal Shopper (2016)
a girl waiting for a sign from her dead brother, but seems she has dialed wrong number
Maureen believes in existence after death and is waiting for a sign from her brother. she visits her brothers house waiting for a sign, but instead, an aggressive feminine ghost answers back by opening tap water and an energy attack. Maureen is a personal shopper for a celebrity and likes to be her, she tries her clothes even it is forbidden and stays at her place for night. she starts receiving text messages from a stranger (unknown on caller ID) who happens to use iphone as well (imessage). ghost starts with asking personal questions but slowly gets boring which even Maureen doesn't bother to reply him/her anymore. an interesting scene for me in this movie was when Maureen turns on the phone, and starts receiving old messages, you can see the unknown existence is notifying her about his arrival which ends at landing of her door, be she is polite enough to just leave a note and leave. unknown stranger asks Maureen to visit same hotel room again and he is waiting for her -after Maureen employer found murdered by her in her house- then u will see the ex-boyfriend of Mrs. celebrity who is in same floor of hotel and gets arrested by undercover police after leaving the hotel. it is not very clear if Maureen meeting him, but that's what you might want to believe after connecting all evidences. Maureen follows her brother request and travels to an Arabic country (i believe it was Oman, but am not sure) and the spirit visits her again there. spirit once visited her in her sisters house by breaking a glass of water, but Maureen is not easy to get convinced about evidences and totally ignored that. this time spirit breaks another glass, then start to make noise by closing the wooden door/window, but still Maureen is not convinced if that is the brother ( are you Luis?), but even if it was the brother, he does not sound nice at all! moral conclusion might be: don't try to contact spirits unless you know the exact number. you might call wrong number and find an angry spirit following you around! Movie was bit slow and confusing, but well you could see lot of tits! ending is also open and you can not say for sure if: she met brothers spirit, if ex-bf was the murderer, if Maureen is satisfied now and can go after her life which is shopping for another celebrity i assume!
Get Out (2017)
a good anti-racist movie, another try to inject black again to American Hollywood
A black boy who got a white girl friend, decides to visit her parents home for weekend. father claims to like black people (and he would vote for Obama if he could, for 3th time), mother looks too calm (like on drug) and seems very obsessed with smoking! brother looks and behaves anti-black. they got black servants which are stunned in face and behave. u see things getting more weird when friends coming to visit, all in black luxury cars and there is a Japanese old guy who asks a racist question and a young black guy who is with an old white lady. the black guy answers the racist question like anyone who is and want to stay in a corrupt system does.
these white community ( you hear Illuminati music and thoughts in movie, like sacrifice people for their bigger good)hunt black healthy sporty guys through the daughter of family, to suck their life and get stronger. the mother hypnotist the boy and they tie him to chair till surgery starts, but he covers his ears to stop hypnotist and fights and gets out of there.
movie is totally divided into black and white people (plus minority of blacks who join whites system for their benefit), police is racist, family are racist, even black polices ignore the problem (its funny that his black friend tries to get help from black polices).
a good anti racist movie which shows the bad situation of racism in America and kinda sends message to black minority who becoming part of this racist corrupt system to stop. this movie is produced in 2017, which is the year that Hollywood injects tones of black color into its movies to say no, we care about blacks in America and Hollywood and we are not racist, but the try is kinda suspicious and engineered. i don't get it why the movie tries to prove "black is the new fashion"! which its not true, as blacks are under pressure all around the world specially in America, after all news we here about how they treat black people there! one scene was repeated twice, cutting head of the white man during surgery, i am not sure it was the idea of director or just a editing mistake.
Sam Was Here (2016)
a total nonsense movie with good camera, sound and acting!
I cant believe it, why producer cares enough to have a good team for camera, sound, actors,... but totally ignores the story-line?! this movie makes no sense at all! things happening without any explanation, is like the writer was bored to make sense in his book but producer really needed a script, so even everything else is good, story is a total nonsense! Sam is driving and walking in a city near LA, which no human being exist. water pipes work, there is fuel in petrol station, houses are clean, but no human or animal! suddenly a man with police uniform shoot him with gun ( no explanation), the guy got a mask same to other 4 people he meets in movie (also no explanation for mask), Sam after getting shot to left of his chest (heart is there) still manages to run, fight and be totally normal (bollywood skills). He doesn't want to use one of those cars and run from that city. he also doesn't want call police asking for help. you will see 1 woman without mask ( also no explanation) and two man with same mask as police man attack him. at then end, you will see few people with different masks attack and kill him and next morning the motel cleaner trying to wash his blood from shower curtain. TOTALLY NO EXPLANATION WHY ALL THESE NONSENSE HAPPENS! Camera was professional, Music and voices recording in movie are good, acting is good too, just WHAT THE HELL STORYLINE?!!!
Sandy Wexler (2017)
more he tries same role, more it lose the fun
Years back Adam got a new idea and based on that started to make comedies which became successful, but that's enough! he is repeating same kind of jokes (exactly same), same funny voices and totally everything same (including actors). It is like he got a popular tasty coffee which sells good, but now not much of the coffee left, so to sell he adds more water. its losing taste already. am sure he hearing same thing from people and celebrities again and again. but not sure why is he being stubborn to continue same mistake. its quite sad to see talented funny actor who trying to give positive messages to audience is going down and down, but that's life.
Jurassic School (2017)
who built that plastic dinosaur doll, comes from 18th!
kids acting was fine, parents were OK,Doctor and teacher were god, dinosaur animation was acceptable, but when camera gets close and they use the plastic version, god that's horrible horrible! even those kids could do better job. why did the producer ruin everything by being so careless about the dinosaur its self. the voice of dinosaur, was that a man trying to make baby crying voice?!
The Space Between Us (2017)
The American "Le petit prince" visited his red rose on earth
The American "Le petit prince" visited his red rose on earth The movie is about a kid who born in space and his mom passed away while giving birth to him. Asa Butterfield didn't get out of his typical acting and we saw an innocent face, simple, smart, passionate (at-least in story line), sensitive with cute smile; but honestly his face was totally out of passion, just like a mannequin. First thing surprised me was the Fast communication speed between mars and earth in a movie which obviously is not happening in future, at-least not a far future. The little prince communicates with his red rose through Internet, having video call and everything is super fast without any delay. even when the director is watching him in space ship through CCTV cameras, the camera playing real time with no delay! It was not clear how could he travel to earth even his existence was so classified and sure nobody in NASA headquarter didn't want him here. some very shallow lines with the homeless guy and some cute funny things to show he is not used to earth, like walking under rain or enjoying the automatic door of bus (am sure in that spaceship, an automatic door wont be a surprise), which i believe writer could do much better job. he wear the middle age mans clothes which surely was overweight but clothes was totally fit on him. He found the girl and she suddenly decided to help him to run from some strangers without even questioning him ( writer wants us put that on teenagers emotion), then she suddenly knew how to ride an old airplane and how to land it perfectly! they blow a horse stable, stole stuff in shops, stole car,... and you never see police putting charge on them, is like NASA is CIA and can silent all! there was tones of things happening without explanations like the writer was not patient enough to care about details and expect us to buy his teenage love scenes and visual effects. they meet the lord of the ring and we see another bad acting from the high on illusion girl and the so called spiritual guy. they find the mothers brother and we see a very bad acting from him. the he walks into the sea to die where he had seen his mom to walk on in the video. they take him the American le petit guy to his birds to take him bad to his planet and this time, it was the red rose going after him. the idea of movie was interesting, but actings were terrible, missing tones of details and ya, a movie which has been written and directed in rush!
The Great Wall (2016)
Western heroes again prove how cool, strong and skilled they are; this time to china
It is not the first and wont be the last time when Hollywood makes a movie which have many historical elements such as great wall of china, gun powder and Chinese army, but carelessly and only for entertainment made up a story which is not based on any damn history book or even children's book! we have watched the movie "300" which totally fakes the history about Persians and how did the spartan-Persia war actually happened, but now we got 2 western soldier (thief) who travel all the way to china to steal black powder (gun powder) to take it back to west for money.
Movie starts with Matt Damon and his friend are in search of gun powder when some mysterious monsters attack them and Matt Damon cuts the monsters hand in a blink of eyes. when they get into Chinese army, it surprises them that how this western man can kill the monster all on his own. girls fall in love with Matt Damon and leader asks his suggestions to fight with monsters. he proves his skills in archery to Chinese (i didn't expect director goes this far!) and entertains everyone. You will see this two white guy, specially the blue eye blond hair hero, fight with monsters all alone and all Chinese army are like useless.
At the end, same to many other Hollywood movies, we see how white skin blond hair blue eyes western are better in strength and coolness! compare with eastern. they help china to defeat monsters and don't even fall in love with girls there and back to their own country even the Chinese general female is obviously in love with him.
movie is disturbing in term of faking history and adoring eastern (a typical American thought) but i enjoyed the way, the colorful Chinese army and the weapons built.
Tetsuo (1989)
difficult movie which put too much effort to make
First thing grabbed my attention was the name "Ironman" and tetsuo which is Japanese. then the release date which means pretty old and B&W. i was curious to see how a Japanese has made a movie that date which involves an ironman.
first one hour of movie was quite confusing "movie is 1 hour length), but i had to show respect too all those effort to make the scenes out of metal and much effort actors show in role. to be honest i was watching the movie while having my lunch (specially when he and his girlfriend screwing -in the real meaning of word- each other in his house). movie was quite confusing to me and i couldn't connect scenes to each other in my mind. i was looking at a man in subway who turning to metal, then a women next to him also, but then he looks OK so u think it was all his illusion, but then it happens again. the scene of his fight with girlfriend was confusing too! he start turning to metal, run into small room to hide from girlfriend and she was so *ucking loyal! that didn't want to leave him. then he who was nice first decided to attack the girl friend, then the girl friend attacked him with knife but after he lost power, girl friend just start licking him and using his ironic penis to kill herself!
getting close to end of movie, i was getting some ideas. the flashbacks in TV to a car accident with a boy, who seems tetsuo and his girlfriend hit him and run away(even worse, decided its best time to have sex in-front of the guy we called by accident in street). it seemed he came to make revenge later by turning him to metal. but i couldn't get it that he was actually a metal fetishist (i read it in reviews in IMDb) also i couldn't get who was the mustache guy who attacked him by hitting a metal to his head, also the guy with glasses who was adoring the genius who has stick a metal in tetsuo head without he dies!
I was very sure that it is a art school assignment and i was right, after movie finished, i found that info in movies profile in IMDb. i am curious to know what did examiner mark this movie. for a college work, it was a real good job and really too much effort, maybe TOO MUCH
