The Invisible
by BannanIt's not your typical 'I must find justice' kind of movie where the character is looking for whomever caused its death.
So, it's the story of this kid named Nick Powell who is just a week away from graduation and wants to go to this writing course in London, England. Of course, since his mother does not approve he buys a ticket and plans on flying there anyways - seeing how he has all his credits already.
It turns out his friend Pete got a cell phone from a real bad crew of kids, who threaten him as he hasn't paid them yet for it. So, Nick goes over to them and tries to pay off Pete's debts...but Annie does not approve.
He ends up riling her up to the point of her attacking him in their cafeteria...so things get a little heated. That very same night our antagonist goes on a crime spree with her boyfriend, Marcus and ends up stealing some really expensive jewellery. He proceeds to tell her she's out of control, and asks her to leave the bag with the jewels...but she doesn't. She just takes it and keeps claiming he'll do nothing.
Marcus doesn't think this is fair, and then calls the authorities on her. Annie gets to school the next day, and while stashing the jewels in her locker catches Pete looking at her. Later on, the cops come and arrest her. She then decides to take things into her own hands, and figures Pete told on her.
Pete gets in big trouble, they beat the crap out of him while he pleads with her and instead turns their attention to his friend, instead. Meanwhile, Nick is drunk off his ass wandering the roads...when this car starts chasing him. Things get really ugly so that he's knocked unconscious.
They all get scared and stash his body inside a storm drain. The next day, Nick wakes up...and realizes that he is not amongst the living...but quite close to being dead.
Soon, he discovers that his only salvation is ironically enough the person that put him into such a fatal position.
Although none of these actors are altogether that well-known, they do put on quite a decent amount of acting skills.
The most interesting however, must be the interaction between Annie and Nick [or Nick's spirit, that is].
Just goes to show us how people are, when you don't see them. And that well, you might not really know a person at all.This is quite an intriguing film, not your typical...you killed me...and I must find you kind of plot line. Take a look, it's got some pretty decent acting in here and pretty nifty perspectives as well.

Twelve and Holding (12 and Holding)
by BannanThis movie really surprised me, I'm not sure whether it was the way the younger kids interacted with each other...or the language which they used so casually was what completely intrigued me. It seemed to be a darker version of what being a twelve-year-old in modern day society entails.
It starts off with two mischievous brothers being chased by bullies, one is up the ladder to their treehouse and then the other [submissive, shy and quieter] one eventually follows. Rudy [the impulsive one] ends up dumping a pail of urine onto the two which results in a series of wretching...followed by many death threats.
The two brothers are quite different, one is outgoing, completely social seems to have the entire world at his fingertips. Whereas Jacob, the introverted one wears a hockey mask [like Jason Voorhees because he's badass] to cover up the large birthmark on his face.
Their father keeps getting requests to sell the land, but refuses seeing that his kids play there and feels there is no price for something like that. Finally, a number comes up that catches his interest...and when Rudy relays this information unto their friends Malee and Leonard he has an idea to save the treehouse...sit in.
Malee decides not to indulge her best friend's wishes, yet Leonard is pulled in instantly - peer pressure? Rudy sneaks off in the middle of the night, while Jacob quietly watches from the top bunk. His brother insults him as he finally leaves and explains that it's his fault that the two bullies are always following them around. You need to stick up for yourself, stop being such a pussy!
Regardless of his brother's tauntings, Jacob stays...and Rudy leaves. Rudy and Leonard camp out in the treehouse, whilst sleeping soundly they are oblivious to the fact that Jeff and Kenny are throwing flaming cocktails at the structure.
Jeff misses, but Kenny doesn't...and only when they hear screaming does Jeff take off...but Kenny stays and sees as Leonard falls from the ladder. He goes towards him, realizes they messed up and runs away.
Leonard earns a second chance, and with that...he tries to fix things to make his family healthy...and goes to extreme measures to do just that.
As Rudy is not so lucky, his death takes a toll on the entire community...especially all his friends and brother. Jacob seethes with rage, quietly...and questions why his parents are so quick to move on. He doesn't really get over or tries to, his brother's death for that matter.
Meanwhile, Malee is the daughter of a psychiatrist who doesn't seem to have the best of relationships with her mother. She meets one of her mother's patients and begins to develop very strong feelings toward him - that is perhaps how Rudy's death had effected her?
This is the story of how the remaining kids learn to deal with tragedy...and the terrible process of growing up. This is when they learn to be unlike their parents, and being placed in different situations...they grow into the people they might one day become.
It's a very interesting head on collision of parenthood and being a pre-teen combination. It's humorous at times, but it's quite relatable as well...especially when the children try to find themselves while their parents remain being lost.Not a typical movie for a part of life..that once seemed so simple. Quite intriguing and the acting in here was just incredible...the title itself says enough...could you picture being in any of their shoes?

Io non ho paura
by BannanI discovered this after discussing with someone who found it accidentally on one day...then flipping through onto TLN..what should I find but this.
The story itself is quite intriguing...and rather endearing.
While playing outside one day with his friends, Michele loses his sister's glasses...and when going back to find them...he discovers something quite extraordinary.
A shief of metal covers the ground, and when lifted up reveals a hole that conveys a body of a young boy hidden by blankets.
Putting his fears in the backseat, he goes home to discover his father home and can't stop thinking about his astonishing discovery. Getting in trouble for running away for hours on end and making his parents worry Michele edges on towards the hole in the ground.
Time and time again, he discovers the body of the young boy is not dead...but very much alive. He helps him by handing down fresh water, and spending 500 lira on some bread. After time, he becomes friends with this young boy and when getting home one time realizes that things aren't exactly as they seem.
This becomes apparent, when his father's friend Sergio comes to visit...and his curiousity gets the better of him, when he hears things he shouldn't. His fears are confirmed when he learns that the local badboy in town Felice is sniffing around the hole as well.
When his best friend, Salvatore, shows him a collection of toy cars his uncle sends him Michele asks him if he can have the one van Salvatore isn't fond of. After much deliberation, he tells the secret in exchange for the car. Thinking he could trust Salvatore with such a secret, Michele goes back to see the little boy and eventually carries him out of the hole to spend a day in the sun.
Yet, once placing him back in the ground Michele gets caught by Felice. And Felice gets mad at him, throwing him to the ground and eventually leading him to his car where Salvatore sits. In exchange for that information, it seems Felice allows Salvatore to drive his car.
When they get back, Michele gets his whole family in trouble. His mother tries to proteact him but ends up getting beat on by Felice...and when Michele tries to tear the man off his mother his father and Sergio come in to set things straight.
The adults are not happy with his discovery, and send him to get sleep...telling him to forget the whole thing ..but he can't. As Michele can't stop thinking about Filipo, why's he's in that hole and why he can't come out of there. Again, his bond with the young boy gets him into trouble again and again once he tries to figure out what is the right thing to do in such a situation.
This was a lovely interesting story about a young boy who learns what right and wrong is and what he chooses to do in such a situation. The acting was incredible, and I didn't mind the fact that it was subtitled at all. The music really set the theme for each scene as well, adding drama and a sense of intrigue at various times.Stunning story about a little boy who when doing what little boys do...discovers something he really shouldn't...and conquers his fears to do the right thing.
I'm really quite surprised none of you flixsterlings has seen this...because you really, -really- should.
Unless...you're not a fan of subtitles...but then you'd sorely be missing out on quite a stunning film!
