I find it impossible not to fall into the trap of The fourth type, yet another example of fake reality cinema. The attractive property, the movies "vintage", the introduction of Milla Jovovich, all conspire to create that sense of suspended credibility and constant doubt, characteristic of the good films of pure entertainment. There is no truth it The fourth type, yet the film is so well constructed to make us believe otherwise constantly. The undersigned, knowing that they attend a pure fiction, so it is left to conquer and be involved from start to doubt what we already knew. The truth is that a film like this is scary, anxious, disoriented, leave him a bad feeling ill, comes to lodge their doubts in our confidence. The credit goes to the measured and directed by Olatunde Otsunsanmi never intrusive, capable of making us the creeps through voices, whispers, video clips disturbed ancient and incomprehensible languages. Spielberg's science fiction is light years away, here we are in the range of feelings of discomfort and the appearance suggested simply mentioned. There's nothing dramatic, and the manifest the fourth type and for this reason, this creeping terror and not encrypted, the film scared and terrified beyond the normal threshold of support skills. Leveraging on our more primitive and atavistic senses, the film, using the experience of enough cited and praised Blair Witch Project and the excellent and recent Paranormal activity, break down the barrier between real and likely, giving us an hour and a half plenty of shivers down my spine. A real way of the cross in which the viewer finds himself inevitably come to terms with her fears and hidden ancestral without stopping for a moment to reflect on a screenplay certainly smart, but certainly not devoid of good ideas. In conclusion The fourth type is considered as the perfect evolution of a genre that the 50 de War of the Worlds, through the 70's Star Wars and ET's '80 found today their right to continue in films like this, so disturbing, not reassuring and terribly plausible ... just like the reality we live every day.

Milla Jovovich has become a familiar face and recognizable thanks to Luc Besson who wanted her as a protagonist in that colossal crap from The Fifth Element. Then we happily dressed as Alice in the film adaptation of the video game Resident Evil, a role she has played well in the subsequent two sequels.

As a child in front of a film which has not yet seen ... With this almost new book (I started doing this long ago, but then I stopped) opens a brand new path. The attempt is to give you an indication of the upcoming movie completely arbitrary and based solely on common sense and my personal experiences. Week by week I'm going to give you my opinion on movies that in some cases have not yet seen, with the promise to deny myself in the event that any pre-judgment proves wrong.
start with the wonderful film starring George Clooney. the Air, the title is a bitter parable about the present, about loneliness and what makes it worth the our lives. A major player in the state of grace and smell of Oscar, a solid screenplay as marble, and so far, for a film that, without burrs and with a lot of poetry, takes us away. We laugh, we are moved, it reflects very short, a bit like in real life. The director, Jason Reitman, is the same Thank You for Smoking and Juno . I have had occasion to see him and also to review it ... personally, I loved. Highly recommended.
Nine is the new film of that miracle of Rob Marshall, a man capable of diffused light to shine for years, thanks to Chicago , musicals a little overrated crazy America that he did a few years ago. This Nine starts from 81 / 2 by Federico Fellini , staging loves, obsessions, and the visionary poetry of Emilian master. Sui generis character of this musical is none other than the great Daniel Day Lewis and able to give him even a potato if it were given the opportunity. We anticipate many applications, but few Oscars. We expect a lot of color, great music, beautiful choreography, but also a lot of sterile perfection. More doubts than enthusiasm.
Let a curious film and appeared out of nowhere, First Snow. Thriller on the fate and the inevitability of that has its strength in the interpretation of its protagonist, Guy Pearce that will go down in film history for the magnificent and unforgettable Memento. Piper Perabo also the game, good and beautiful actress already seen this year in Italy nell'inedita Carriers. Perabo, the actress is never boring, able to alternate food film ( Coyote Ugly, The Devil's hideout ) small jewelry author ( and Delirious, Ima origin Me & You ). Without knowing anything, frankly I would give confidence if only for its protagonists. Sure, it might be the usual thriller faded and inconclusive, but my sense of spider stings. Recommended.
remain in the camp with fear The fourth type, a film that purports to tell a true story based on real documentation filmed. The topic of alien abductions, lately some ab Bandon, new life here, thanks to the interpretation of Milla Jovovich ( The Fifth Element and Resident Evil trilogy ). In a document allegedly true and another completely fake, it seems that the film really scared face and at least from what we saw in traler, promises should be kept. For a horror fan like myself, this is unmissable classic. At your own risk.
Puppies-code Marco Polo Italian is an animated film that certainly will not disappoint the children who will have the good fortune to be accompanied to the cinema by compliant parents. The result of simple animation and pure, without quoting its own sake and flirting adults, this film is notable for being openly dedicated to the children. A captivating story that is inspired by hatred of the Sorceress Cornacchia for the city of Venice. Puppies will be up to the title groped to foil the evil plan of the Sorceress, which provides for the sinking of the lakeside town. For all children and children grown complacent that they will want to accompany.
round off with the man who will . The film rights to George put on film the sad and controversial story of Monte Sole dell'eccidio War, misery, suffering and pain, partisans on one side and Germans on the other. For someone like me, this story has lived on his own skin, at home, unmissable event, for all other an important film to reflect and to never forget. For once, Italian cinema is not about love of the pursuit of happiness, but of our history. Highly recommended.
TERMINATOR SALVATION: The drift of film and entertainment chores
For months it was a fine show on my shelf if the bluray of Terminator Salvation. Today, given the good mood and gray day, I decided to break through the inertia and give opportunities to the film in question to amaze me. After a brief prologue, the film begins and astute viewer I already know what to expect from a title in the Terminator franchise . Destruction, the usual robot of various sizes, the usual chatter, the usual John Connor, the usual final sacrifice. The soup is always the same, each film will mix some ingredients but the taste never changes. Even Mc G (responsible for that nasty Charlie's Angels ) for his part, renounces add different flavors and serves the viewer with the same soup ever. The fact is that Terminator Salvation is so equal to the other films in the series, which you can safely put on autopilot and engage in another. So for example I did and sleepy after an hour of viewing I started to empty the dishwasher. Apart from the guarantee that I could continue to follow the film without view, including the final story is always the same, I must say that this fact has led me to reflect on the cinema and entertainment on the drift that concerns him closely. No one here wants to attend masterpieces (although it would be nice for once), but at least it would be interesting to keep up the special effects (much amazing compared to years ago) with the script (much of borrowed compared to years ago ). It seems that cinema entertainment is the accumulation of effects and explosions, trying to forget about the glaring gaps in writing that severely afflict him. Characters guiltily cut with an ax, barely sketched characters, ideas carelessly left open and undeveloped. Terminator Salvation is an example (but not the only) of this sick way of making films, the striking poster of an industry that now repeats itself, with very few exceptions, stubbornly determined to exploit to exhaustion any good idea, ready to plunder the world of comics and TV series without any restraint now, stuck in a loop made of evil unnecessary sequels and remakes deficient. An industry that is changing and that as we know it is slowly dying. TERMINATOR DOOMSDAY
PS Looking forward to see what's invent Prosimii in the film. Perhaps Skynet decides to send a Terminator back in time to kill the mother of Sarah Connor, that is, the grandmother of John Connor.
THE PLOT IN TWO WORDS There is John Connor, the resistance and the Terminator. Bum, Bang, Crash. Fine.

Anyone who has approached this film reluctantly, some by accident, perhaps encouraged by the intention of mocking secret and shameful, it will remain deeply surprised. The true story (almost, it is obvious that everything is translated into optical Western) Hachico dog, able to wait for the return of the master until the end of his days, is certainly cloying, free and built a coffee table, but undeniably moving and involves. While trying to maintain a formal critical distance, it is impossible not to be excited by the story told in this film. If the true protagonists of the story are the tears, capable of flowing and abundant natural several times while watching, you can not deny the inspiration of sincerity that involves all the characters that make up this story, be they players or just supporting actors. From Richard Gere good always good to Joan Allen and their sweet daughter, passing by the hot dog man and the clerk of the station, obviously up to the faithful Hachic or all those who participated in the film, undertake to give their contribution to excite even the most politically astute. We must therefore understand, although I believe it is true that the cinema is first of all emotion, then Hachico hits the target, giving two hours of touching sentiment and shared emotion to an audience that maybe is not prepared to accept it. Conversely I am not suggesting that this is a great movie overall, but certainly a great film for those who want to be inundated by a flood of overwhelming emotions and let go a healthy and spontaneous tears liberating. Perhaps not much, but certainly not little.
THE PLOT IN TWO WORDS Based on a true story, the film tells the dog Hachico and its special relationship with the boss. After the death of the dog waiting for his return for years, giving evidence of a fidelity without borders, able to cross the boundaries of earthly life.

It's called the Air (original Up in the air) and is the last great film starring George Clooney in a smell Oscar. Forget the comfortable and sunny comedy in which a self-centered and selfish protagonist discovers the world and the beauty of human beings through love doing fine, here we are somewhere else. the Air begins with a series of interviews with real men and women who have really lost their jobs, to continue with the history of man more just universe, who dismisses the very people for work. He laughs, but the lips are not ever extended, but perpetually contracted in a forced smile. The disappointment as a faithful companion, the bitterness of life as a necessary corollary, the solitude of the same key value. A new beginning, the first day of our new life. A life of petty philosophy, benefits illusory hopes and ready to break. There is no rest and peace for those who, like Charon, are doomed to ferry the souls of the damned and hell itself on the river Styx. Our lives, our new life starts here, the acceptance of a condition with no way out. Loneliness. Surprising, always measured, and the very human good George Clooney, hiding behind a smile, lays bare the fragility able to shake the anyone deep. We are little men on the road, attacked with small meaningless things, like never before this moment, lost in time, space and meaning. Among the best films of the year.

There is no two without three and four if it comes from. This explains in a simple fact, which has led some men of dubious morality to come together to produce a new chapter in the saga starring the sad harvester. Let's step back. The first chapter was fun, too, and above all very original, the idea that death had a plan for everyone and you could not escape it in any way was fascinating. Number two was, frankly, even better than its predecessor, thanks to an incipit was a real bloodbath (the accident most spectacular we've ever seen) and a series of scattered splatter details, like small crumbs scary, throughout the film. Then came the third chapter, and despair took possession of our hearts, repetition reigns supreme and the yawn was around the corner. Time to stir up new hopes comes this bloody chapter four (in 3D), which shall presume to stand as definitive (that "The" before the title). We come to the detail, the start, as usual, is powerful and spectacular, a bloodbath during a race Naska which is really encouraging. Unfortunately, after the hottest titles of the series (and one of the best I've seen in recent years) here is the take off usual and slavish repetition of the usual and found the usual complicated ways to die in agony. A good for nothing and a final Furbino winking, the omelet is done and now the mind is already elsewhere, lost in a fair and wonderful world in which horror movies are original and intelligent, without unnecessary sequels and remakes without stupid.

sorry to admit it had been wrong. When Donnie Darko came out natural was a miracle. Richard Kelly was the star of a debut at the gun cotton, a layered and complex film, ideal to be remembered for years to come. Unfortunately, this promise was never followed by a real confirmation, and after years of silence has followed the halting Southland Tales. Now several years after that magnificent debut here peeping The box , fantasy-thriller from the lame artistic value. Beyond the love of Kelly to the questions left open (which centers the handicap of Cameron Diaz, which centers on the fact that Frank Langella was working for NASA), the film has a hypnotic pace, which unfortunately is becoming more confused just when dissolving the knots of narrative should be clearer. The most serious flaw of The box is to proceed to build up irritating, never mind words such as consistency and size. For an intriguing and well-engineered starting point (in fact the film is based on a story of the brilliant Richard Matheson) is then counterbalanced by developing a confused, uncertain and noisy. Perennially torn between mysticism and science fiction, in constant balance between drama and thriller, The Box put too many irons in the fire, risking indigestion at the expense of poor disgusted viewers. Amplifying unbearably strengths (but also of weakness) of his debut, Richard Kelly prepares a film that could have been a minor classic, but risks turning into a small and insignificant memory, waiting to be removed. Forget it.

Once upon a time movies of the 80s. A series of films focusing on the youth work hard for someone who wanted to get an important result: Sports ( Karate Kid) , military ( Top Gun), artistic ( Flashdance) or sentimental ( Pretty in Pink). Any 'goal of the protagonists of those films had proposed, they would certainly get in the end, thanks to their hard work and a good dose of determination. But now in 2010 things are different. Take Bandslam , harmless but very funny home movie, which recounts the genesis of a band determined to win a competition that bears the name of the movie. What you should know, if you decide to go see a movie like this, that a film featuring a competition, an important goal to reach or the crowning a dream, is that now in 2010 the result is never certain. If once we were sure that all that waxing would have earned victory at Ralph Macchio, now you can not tell the children lying on School of Rock or appuntoi boys Bandslam . After September 11, American cinema has changed, insecurity has made its way into theaters and performance anxiety has taken over in Hollywood screenplays badged. The heroes have given way to the losers, the muscles have given way to the brain and the horror has become more complex. Even children's films have thus been processed, leaving the root seed of failure, raising his hands in surrender in the face of adversity. Capiamoci, this is not true of course for all films, Hannah Montana continues to romp across the board, the daughter of a Republican policy that will never die, but for many film music has changed and with it the way of representing certain stories. While to some extent the film tells the story, then it is profoundly right that empty in 80 years, a period characterized plastic from coming by a ruthless and muscular success at all costs, Sylvester Stallone and members have made their fortunes Waving hands. In contrast to the historical period in which we are guests and protagonists, suggests that something is changing and this is probably not necessarily a bad thing. Bandslam is the son of our times and reflects in a non-trivial and always fun on issues such as family, friendship, belonging to a group, acceptance and gain acceptance. Not bad for a film interperatato very young, dedicated to a young public. To see.

This movie has a great merit: never take it seriously and do their own stylistic excess. If you go looking for the fun, make yourself comfortable and enjoy Zombieland, a roller coaster ride saddles at full speed, without ever being able to pull the breath. In his little hour and a half in length, by reviving and excessive film starring Woody Harrelson, takes us into territory already explored, perhaps, but certainly rarely described with such loving passion. Without disturbing the movie Shawn of the dead symbol (in Italy we have translated Dawn of the Dead), the little funny Zombieland lined up a number of places are so surreal as to be hilarious (one for all The scene at the home of Bill Murray). Never mind the why and for how the earth has been invaded by the living dead, focuses on his characters, their strange status as a makeshift family on the most unusual and Conflict zombies. Leaving behind a conspiracy that would have burdened the screenplay, the film focuses on the here and now, on the basic rules to survive on what we left behind and what is important to keep what you got, defending at all costs . Without disturbing metaphors bulky enough to say that Zombieland represents a world that is changing rapidly, where the only safe place to escape to are the memories and the love of a family, be it real or improvised, capable of making us feel finally back home.

The question that haunts the minds of all those who love cinema , breathe it and live it is: We need the remake? Think about it, lately the trend of remaking movies already made is assuming epidemic proportions. No one is saved from the remake, comedy, horror, musicals, sometimes with embarrassing results, it was decided to bring back an icon, to revive an issue. Fame is located on this line and now it is natural to make comparisons with the original very well directed by Alan Parker. If some things change (as an archetype Leroy and frankly there is no sound a bit far-fetched in 2009) remain the same more fundamental and it is these that we must look to understand the core of the film. Let me explain. It is no secret that for some years now the big and small screen have been flooded with movies and programs based primarily on singing and dancing. We have seen to review films like Step Up 1 and 2 (attention has already been announced on 3), Honey, Save the last dance, Coyote Ugly and last in order of time the much loved / hated Hannah Montana. In contrast to the screen house was invaded by a bunch of friends inept led by Maria De Filippi, who has followed a monster like X-Factor dedicated exclusively to singing. The greatest common denominator of these films and these programs in general is the absurd belief that talent is a divine gift, carefully distributed and fed by the sacred fire of passion. Nothing could be further from the truth. Fame (both the original and the remake) arrives just in time to put the icing on the cake The success can be achieved only by working hard with sweat, tears and blood, talent alone is not sufficient, no it never was and never will be. This is the assumption of the film, a cold shower for the ego of anyone who has decided to sing or dance well enough to be able to succeed in the realization of a dream. In Fame of it a parable about a group of boys determined to break into show business, the news is the fact that not all come to the end of this path, but some will fall along the road. The great merit of the film is just to show that talent alone is useless, but it takes hard work and great dedication. Fame therefore comes at the right time and right place, a country like ours which has become a growing conviction that the work and the study is not essential, but suffice it to appear and to be there, to succeed in life, perhaps by participating in one of the many stupid reality shows. We have lost the sense of the street work and sweat, we lost part of ourselves, let's not let that happen to our children. And if a film can give us a hand in this, then he is welcome.

And for all nostalgic, obstinate and incurable romantics, here's the video of Irene Cara's song of the film.
have a lot to say, various relatives and Blacks Oldoini ... I think Italy, the real one, is certainly not represented by cinepanettoni, but the film by Carlo Verdone. No one like the great director Roman has learned in recent years to describe the love, phobias, excessive, hopes, disappointments and contradictions of a people like ours. Take his latest work. With light-hearted look and disillusioned, in one hour film is a hymn to hypocrisy represented. Laughter in the films of Verdone, but often through gritted teeth, aware that what we see represented are our friends, our neighbors, our relatives, our parents, ourselves. The story of the elderly father of a family widower who marries an immigrant younger than him, finding a barrage of opposition from their children, is terribly current. Similarly, the priest played by Verdone misuratissimo door if all the contradictions and questions that distinguish the Catholic religion. Hard not to be conquered by these characters and situations that the director skillfully manages to submit. Unfortunately a lot of enthusiasm is just as much disappointment as the film moves towards its conclusion. For the first part measured, on tiptoe, exceptional, to be counterbalanced by a second caciarona, exaggerated, caricaturist. If it is true, then the director Verdone is a great builder of character, Verdone is also true that the actor often it was the victim. Throughout the second half of the film is played on the accumulation, the persistent laughter, forced expulsion in the mouth. The result is an uneven film, which if left to the mercy of his characters becomes a Babel where everyone speaks your language ... A bit like Italy indeed.
THE PLOT IN TWO WORDS A priest in a crisis of faith, a father who marries an immigrant's daughter, to which it is entitled to the assets of the mother and in the last two remaining children of the elderly ladies , ready to take on a war footing to avoid being take away what they believe is rightfully theirs.

Aside the controversy that saw shocked the purists of all ages, literally shocked by the fact that their favorite hands and lead him seem more out of an episode in costume Mission: Impossible , rather than from the written page, one must admit that the film work. For those who feel offended in deep, I have to remember that the best transpositions of the character of Holmes that I personally have ever seen are those provided by no clue and Sherlock Holmes. I have not found so no cause of scandal to see our hero to his bare chest as he fights with a mountain of muscle determined to crush it. The immortal characters of the written page, have their own strengths that can be molded and changed according to the needs and tastes of the vehicle are to serve. The cinema is not literature and it is nice to think that never will be, believe they can deliver on the big screen adventures of Holmes as Conan Doyle had think is pure utopia, indeed, it is an act of great presumption. Beyond the value of the film, which in this case is really a small thing, since this is the classic film made for fun sideshow, we must never overlook the fact that thanks to it, a new generation is taking the exploits of Sherlock and good Watson. However you put it, instill new life in literature and cinema is a blessing that is priceless, brings up the tradition and the stuff that dreams are made. I will always remember that just came out of this Mess Troy, I happened to see a mother who in the Iliad library trying to give to his son, who had been literally haunted by Achille and Associates. In conclusion then, we do not make the mistake of thinking that everything is immutable, that the contamination is bad and that some things can not be touched, because at that moment we do a disservice to the cinema, culture and ourselves. For my part then, Sherlock Holmes is a home movie absolutely enjoyable, unpretentious and has a certain freshness. The duets between the two protagonists are bubbly and fun, not only staged the mystery is intriguing and the reconstructed London is breathtaking ... all sufficient reasons to do with advising the vision. Elementary.
THE PLOT IN TWO WORDS The world's most famous private investigator, must contend with an evil plan to conquer the world ... for a change.
THE SCENE THAT IS THE FILM Whenever the arguments of our shows come to life and there in all their brilliant, elaborate and striking elegance.
ANGLE CONCEPTS intriguing As I said a few lines further on, the two versions of Conan Doyle's character that I prefer are those of Sherlock Holmes and no clue. In the first film, a young Holmes was still a student, investigates the mysterious death of some men. While the second one a great Michael Caine plays a stupid Holmes, who owes his success to a superfine reasoning Dr. Watson, beautifully played by Ben Kingsley. Robert Downey Jr. was a promising actor, was also nominated for an Oscar for his role as Charlie Chaplin in Chaplin forgotten. Unfortunately, the love of drugs and alcohol have moved away from the scene for years. He returned recently, reaffirming their talents with entertaining blockbuster ( Ironman 1 and 2) and movies much more interesting ( Charlie Bartlett). She received her second nomination in the past year, thanks to the splendid role in Tropic Thunder . Unfortunately, the Joker played by Heath Ledger beat him. Jude Law is an actor of great talent and sensitivity sensitivity. Among his many movies I like to remember Talent Mr. Ripley (Actor nominee), FOR . (Sci-fi version of Pinocchio, directed by Spielberg) and Alfie (remake of the classic Michael Caine). Finally, the director is none other than the former husband of Madonna, Guy Ritchie has amused that half the world with Lock, Stock and Snatch and then to crash at the mercy of stuff like Rock 'n Roll and Swept Away .

Beyond the breathtaking photography, interpretations in a state of grace and sublime direction, with the complicity of those wonderful and brilliant narrative ellipses, No Country for Old Men is a film about death and ethics, even the ethics of death. Bardem's killer and the sheriff Tommy Lee Jones are the two sides of same coin, good and evil, two bastions of a world that was and that is disappearing, a world of rules and principles. Today, here and now, in this world of plastic and paper, only blood and death keep their word, there is no escape, but only pain and darkness. We were born to suffer and often fail to understand what is happening around us. The world is changing too quickly, the feelings become certainties and life becomes death. Death to welcome in a hug and a sincere sister, the only essential truth, the only real way to keep that promise. No, it is certainly not a country for old men, there are too many things to understand and too many others that you can not even imagine. Then so be it death, not as a shortcut, but as awareness, single mother able to instill life where reigns the absence of it. The choice as the awareness of being, acceptance of free will, rejecting God Life as a ballast to be freed, the principles as useless burdens, able to burden consciences now caught in a lethargic sleep forever. Bardem's killer is cruel crystal conscience of a country that no longer recognizes himself, and lost nell'inutile endless contemplation of itself. The sheriff Tommy Lee Jones is the lost ancient wisdom of a people who no longer knows how to keep the flame of hope. Beautiful, engaging and smart, the zenith of superb artistic depth for the two talented brothers, who probably sign their masterpiece more cryptic and hermetic. Far and final Nadir of the human race for a funeral oration cowardly and debased, swan song of the words hope, love and forgiveness. Heads or tails, you choose, there is no time, what's coming can not be stopped, death is here, fate does not exist, there are only dreams and the light at the end of everything. The road is still long and the night is too cold ... there is no room here for people like you. Then I woke up

THE SCENE THAT IS THE FILM Lots, all the ellipses at the end.
ANGLE CONCEPTS intriguing Javier Bardem is a sex symbol that needs no introduction, capable of sublime performances and chilling: Sea Inside, Mondays in the Sun, Perdita Durango and Before that night. For this film has rightly earned the Oscar as best supporting actor. Tommy Lee Jones won an Oscar for The Fugitive and starred in dozens of films, including I would like to mention the underrated In the Valley of Elah , the two fun movies dedicated to the Men in Black and hypnotic The Three Burials . Josh Brolin has created a compelling portrait of President George W. W. Bush in the successful directed by Oliver Stone, it was really extraordinary in Milk opposite Sean Penn. The Coen brothers are among the most brilliant minds in contemporary cinema, every new film is being hailed as a breath of fresh air from all cinema lovers. Among their works I like to remember Barton Fink (cryptic and brilliant), Miller's Crossing (practically an opera), The Big Lebowski (a film that must be protected by UNESCO as World Heritage Site) and The Man Who Was not There (distilled pure poetry in a beautiful black and white) . The film is adapted from a novel by Cormac McCarthy, author of The Road nobel prize (of which expect the film with Viggo Mortensen).

freezes the blood in the veins, the horror to which we submit this beautiful film. Limbs tremble and stagger the mind, the pandemic virus that has brought the human race, which now has nothing more human, maybe just the memories. In a future ravaged by disease, there is hope and time is an invincible enemy. In this apocalyptic scenario four people across America in a car, but only together. Carriers film is to look for and want at all costs, fulmen cauda in a grim season, capable of an extraordinarily rigorous, can even remember the masterpiece of lyrical nihilism and Cormac McCarthy, The Road . A carousel ride mephitic fact of death, blood, wounds and disease, an electric shock to our consciences domesticated, a slow descent along the darkest circles of Hell. Faced with the disease is no more friendship, compassion and charity, the blood ceases to be a constraint and survival is the only chimera to chase, even if will not be around no more. Hard to forget Carriers , the eyes of its protagonists, and even his appearances, human beings who remain on the screen for no more than thirty seconds, impossible not to get out and tested shocked, disgusted and distraught, unable to get rid of feeling un'appicicosa of discomfort throughout the body. Freezes the blood in the veins, the horror to which we submit this film, the horror of being human. Masterpiece.
THE PLOT IN A FEW WORDS serious disease is wiping out the human race, someone trying to survive.
THE SCENE THAT IS THE FILM From beginning to end, an hour and a half without a fall in tone, without a shot too.

Part breakneck this pointless but enjoyable little film, to be enjoyed all in one breath together with a generous amount of pop-corn steaming. Let's start by saying that the future we have told many, and now all the sauces, as well as risks of dependence on gaming and last but not least we are not ignorant of cattivacci sure you want to take over the world and not shown. Gamer claim to mix all this, trying boldly propose a formula if not unprecedented, at least decent fracassone. If some ideas are not bad, (the absurd social networks, the figures of the extras, the players) are, unfortunately, some ingenuity all slip back into the cauldron of the butchery. In the first part guncotton then, sadly it follows a second conventional imbolsita with explanations of place, fittings and confused narrative scenes strappacore that rivals the worst musicals Naples. Gerard Butler for his part, proves once more to be a great Blufi, a role that got it lucky (Leonidas in 300), and then lie down in filmacci the likes of Rock 'n Rolla . In conclusion Gamer could also threaten to give an enjoyable evening, as long as you pull the plug, sink into your favorite chair and get caught by an inexhaustible thirst for beer.

really curious life of Benjamin Button, a life marked by a clock that works in reverse, a clock built by a blind watchmaker, grieving father of a son who will never return. Curious and often touched by death, the life of Benjamin Button, a death most of the time silent and discreet, but sometimes loud and brazenly protagonist. The case dominated by reigning over all, grim, magnanimous, strict, impartial, decreed the end of the career of a great dancer or failure to shock a man struck by lightning for 7 times. Sfiorarsi ... As the hurricane that almost always the life of Benjamin, without going down ever, when a mother dies off and a father abandons his family on tiptoe. Death gives life and life to its very definition, can not have no end. In an eternal and do everything in which we pick our most beautiful and precious things, and yet deeply divided, united for eternity, unable to stay together, if not for a limited period of time. Again, tap ... The weather, other protagonist of this story and many others that affect us much more closely. The time tyrant yet generous. Time to be and to do, to weep and mourn, to rejoice and fight ... Maybe it's time to raise a child. Once again the curious life of Benjamin Button, like the flight of hummingbirds, whose wings are not moving up and down, but describing an eight. I need not remind you that this is also significant in mathematics ... Some are born to play the piano, who is born an artist, those who know Shakespeare, who was born mother, who is an expert in buttons, who is struck by lightning, some swimming and then there are those who dance ... You, me, the cinema ... perhaps, indeed, for once, the Infinite.

We must say that Brad Pitt is a great actor. I do not accept any objections, I just think The 12 Monkeys or Fight Club . Not only is our protagonist was also smaller but no less important films, including I like to remember the forgotten Kalifornia. David Fincher is still likely to retire to private life even now and I would consider one of the greatest ever. Just remember that the aforementioned director, gave us Seven and the aforementioned Fight Club, both with Pitt. Its also the wonderful and underrated Zodiac .

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, use 2008)
skills. Leveraging on our more primitive and atavistic senses, the film, using the experience of enough cited and praised Blair Witch Project and the excellent and recent Paranormal activity, break down the barrier between real and likely, giving us an hour and a half plenty of shivers down my spine. A real way of the cross in which the viewer finds himself inevitably come to terms with her fears and hidden ancestral without stopping for a moment to reflect on a screenplay certainly smart, but certainly not devoid of good ideas. In conclusion The fourth type is considered as the perfect evolution of a genre that the 50 de War of the Worlds, through the 70's Star Wars and ET's '80 found today their right to continue in films like this, so disturbing, not reassuring and terribly plausible ... just like the reality we live every day. 
As a child in front of a film which has not yet seen ... With this almost new book (I started doing this long ago, but then I stopped) opens a brand new path. The attempt is to give you an indication of the upcoming movie completely arbitrary and based solely on common sense and my personal experiences. Week by week I'm going to give you my opinion on movies that in some cases have not yet seen, with the promise to deny myself in the event that any pre-judgment proves wrong. 
a bitter parable about the present, about loneliness and what makes it worth the our lives. A major player in the state of grace and smell of Oscar, a solid screenplay as marble, and so far, for a film that, without burrs and with a lot of poetry, takes us away. We laugh, we are moved, it reflects very short, a bit like in real life. The director, Jason Reitman, is the same Thank You for Smoking and Juno . I have had occasion to see him and also to review it ... personally, I loved. Highly recommended. 
crazy America that he did a few years ago. This Nine starts from 81 / 2 by Federico Fellini , staging loves, obsessions, and the visionary poetry of Emilian master. Sui generis character of this musical is none other than the great Daniel Day Lewis and able to give him even a potato if it were given the opportunity. We anticipate many applications, but few Oscars. We expect a lot of color, great music, beautiful choreography, but also a lot of sterile perfection. More doubts than enthusiasm. 
that will go down in film history for the magnificent and unforgettable Memento. Piper Perabo also the game, good and beautiful actress already seen this year in Italy nell'inedita Carriers. Perabo, the actress is never boring, able to alternate food film ( Coyote Ugly, The Devil's hideout ) small jewelry author ( and Delirious, Ima origin Me & You ). Without knowing anything, frankly I would give confidence if only for its protagonists. Sure, it might be the usual thriller faded and inconclusive, but my sense of spider stings. Recommended. 
Bandon, new life here, thanks to the interpretation of Milla Jovovich ( The Fifth Element and Resident Evil trilogy ). In a document allegedly true and another completely fake, it seems that the film really scared face and at least from what we saw in traler, promises should be kept. For a horror fan like myself, this is unmissable classic. At your own risk. 
simple animation and pure, without quoting its own sake and flirting adults, this film is notable for being openly dedicated to the children. A captivating story that is inspired by hatred of the Sorceress Cornacchia for the city of Venice. Puppies will be up to the title groped to foil the evil plan of the Sorceress, which provides for the sinking of the lakeside town. For all children and children grown complacent that they will want to accompany. 
partisans on one side and Germans on the other. For someone like me, this story has lived on his own skin, at home, unmissable event, for all other an important film to reflect and to never forget. For once, Italian cinema is not about love of the pursuit of happiness, but of our history. Highly recommended.
