| Donnie Darko - R |
"Donnie Darko is a 2001 psychological thriller film written and directed by Richard Kelly, and starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Jena Malone, and Mary McDonnell. The film depicts the reality-bending venture of the eponymous character as he seeks the meaning and significance of his troubling end-of-the-world visions"
Something strainge happen to me with this film and I will tell about. I didn't saw this film even thought I realy want to. I was waiting for my perfect mood for this because of his theme. Before couple of days I heard the song of the soundrack and stuck with it "Mad Word" and I adore the film before I saw it. So start watch the film realy biased... Donnie a boy from 80's thinks that he knows the time is going to die. Very dark and very interesting film about some serious metafysical questions from young people, but also a social satire, a science fiction time-traveling fantasy, and a suburban nightmare about an extremely intelligent, depressive, self-destructive. I found this film weird and realy strainge but with the good way of words. |

| Looking for Eric - Unrated |
Looking for Eric is a British film about the escape from the trials of modern life that football and its heroes can bring for its fans. It was written by screen writer Paul Laverty and directed by English director Ken Loach. The film's cast includes former professional footballer Eric Cantona . The film competed in the main competition at the 62nd Cannes Film Festival. Eric Cantona stars as the imaginary mentor of a Manchester postman who suffers panic attacks and can?t cope with his two mouthy stepsons. It?s a playful but never gimmicky set-up that turns hero worship on its head, as the cool-headed Cantona appears in the life of scruffy Eric Bishop to tell him in that familiar sagely mumble to pull himself together and reconnect with his pals. Cantona takes him for a jog, shares Bishop?s spliffs and shows off his own, limited, trumpeting skills. The pair swap tips on how to cope with the dark times and reminisce over Cantona?s goals, cueing several stirring montages of balls hitting the back of the net. Eric might tire a little of the Frenchman?s gnomic advice , but an amusing, touching friendship emerges that slowly nudges a suicidal man back towards the solidarity of the workplace and the terraces. But there are two, relationships at the heart of this film . One imagined of Eric Bishop with Cantona and the other real of Eric Bishop and his ex-wife Lily (Stephanie Bishop), a woman he hasn?t seen for 20 years after their youthful marriage turned sour. They meet cautiously, initially for practical reasons as they share the childcare of their granddaughter, but later they begin to inquire into each other?s lives and try to work out what went wrong many years before. Their scenes together are the film?s highlights. Both Evets and Bishop are amazing and they give honest and warm performances.
Looking For Eric isn't really a film about football. Instead, it uses this beautiful game as a path to tell a beautiful story, about loyalty, trust, and friendship. At the end it leaves you a big smile on your face because of his emphasis on hope and love. And for fans of this game I think will like it and they will enjoy a football dream. |

| Bringing Up Baby - Unrated |
Bringing Up Baby (1938) is a masterpiece immortal screwball comedy directed by Howard Hawks. I don?t remember how many times I have seen this film but I think that is one of those movies that seem to improve upon repeat viewings. I enjoy this comedy not only for its gags but for the grace of its construction, the assurance of its style, and the richness of its themes. Hepburn plays Susan Vance, heiress who becomes fixated on the bespectacled David Huxley (Cary Grant). David is a stuffy, overworked zoologist who's engaged to an even stuffier female zoologist who doesn't want "domestic entanglements" like honeymoons, sex, and children to get in the way of their marriage. Through a series of coincidences, misadventures, and planned schemes over the course of two days, Susan works her way into David's life, completely throwing it out of whack. For the first part of the film, it seems like everything between them is merely a happenstance. However, once Susan finds out that David is getting married the next day, everything she does is arguably in the pursuit of keeping him away from his wedding date in New York. In this way, Susan is the essence of the liberated, strong, and wily woman that characterized the screwball comedies. She and David first meet on a golf course when David is trying--in his own clumsy way--to woo a corporate lawyer into donating $1 million to his museum. The lawyer represents the actual donor, a wealthy woman named Elizabeth (May Robson), who happens to be Susan's aunt. By the time the movie reaches its zenith, it has incorporated a big-talking game hunter named Major Horace Applegate (Charlie Ruggles), a small, yapping dog named George that steals a precious dinosaur bone David needs to complete a brontosaurus skeleton, and a tame leopard, the "Baby" of the title. But the magic of "Bringing Up Baby" can hardly be confined to the period in which it was made. Although it wasn't a box office hit when it was first released in 1938, it has gained status and popularity in the years that have passed. It is now seen as one of the essential films of the classic Hollywood, with outstanding if sometimes crazy direction by Howard Hawks, and truly memorable performances by everyone involved.
Finally I believe that only the most cynics could see "Bringing Up Baby" and not ?walk out? in a good mood. It takes place in a world this is distinctly out own, and yet, it has never existed. In essence, it is what the magic of the movies is all about--transporting us to another time and place, but allowing us to see ourselves nonetheless. |

| Das Wilde Leben (Eight Miles High!) - Unrated |
It was really interesting to watch the unspeakable Uschi?s Obermaier life. (played mostly without clothing by Natalia Avelon, an actress who is lovely and pouty but otherwise not particularity good).
After running away from her native Bavarian small town at sixteen, she has got introduced to sexual freedom at the legendary Kommune 1 in Berlin through a Krautrockband named Amon Düül. In the Kommune she becomes friendly with Rainer Langhans. The young woman from Munich quickly transforms into a model, and from there rises to be a sex symbol and a youth icon: a cover girl of Playboy magazine, rockstars like Mick Jagger and Keith Richards are at her feet, and even the Italian film producer Carlo Ponti tries to get her to sign a ten-year contract with her but she declines. Her freedom is more important than a contract. During her intensive relationship with Keith Richards, she suddenly starts to recognize the dark side of the shiny glamour world she lives in. The isolation of the stars, and the groupie-existence in anonymous hotel rooms ? they don't get along well with her idea of life. She finds new freedom in a relationship with the adventurer Dieter Bockhorn (David Scheller). They fall in love and start a six-year road trip round the world...... Achim Bornhak recreates her travels from Munich and Berlin on to London, New York and Rome and thence, partnered with the brash adventurer Dieter into the hippie wonderlands of Pakistan, India and Mexico. Like most all nostalgia trips, ?Eight Miles High? has the irksome effect of reminding the audience (especially to young one) that it missed out on the grooviest moment in people history. I had imagined about this period of time many times and it was very exciting for me watch a movie for a generation that try to free themselves restrictions, choose their own way, and find new meaning in life. Through a great music the movie gives a little smell of 60?s and opens a window to revolutionary youth whose had believed that it should be possible to change the world. I know that the critics are not very ?kind? with this film but it is an entertainment movie much better than many American?s blockbusters. In this movie there is the song "SUMMER WINE " Ville Valo & Natalia Avelon which is arrengement form original 1967 with the Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood... |
