Aliens in the Attic (2009)

Children's film

[6/10 · 30 July 2009]

The given film, without an error it is possible to carry to a genre of a children's film. So what much to wait from the scenario the adult it is not reasonable. On a plot we get to our world, and we see the most usual American family which has decided to get out on rest in a country house. While adults have a rest, children have found out something… on an attic terribly adjusted newcomers have lodged. As adults all the same will not believe, young children decide to enter fight with newcomers and to reject of their pressure, to rescue themselves and our planet.

So that on this film it is necessary to go with children, and adults can laugh, as in places there is "an adult" American humor. About, poor between feet the American look after for the girl, will get to it under the full program.

As to actor's structure … lovely children (especially, the little girl) which have not bad played in a film. It is more here that and there is nothing to tell.

P.S. Excuse for my bad English.

Chelovek, kotoryy znal vsyo (2009)

Sleepy film.

[2/10 · 17 June 2009]

The main trouble of this film are the director with a script writer. That they have made with image of the protagonist! The knowledge of ALL has not affected in any way intellectual qualities of the protagonist. Yes, now it is filled to the edges, but at the same time practical acts give out a serious dis-balance and a system total absence in decision-making. The person who knows everything, is extremely illogical in the acts, and in it its basic trouble, a transforming film in a sickening show. The most insulting that the subject idea which is represented very perspective, gradually sinks in mad mixture of genres – special services, criminal authorities, an oligarchical life with the invariable sensuality, the lost love and life philosophy in any way do not supplement each other, and battle for every minute timing literally, transforming it into a boring show. Definitively ruins a film the extremely unsuccessful installation when heroes are promptly thrown out by the director on the screen, and then also not clearly leave the spectator. In this director's horror in the foreground there are actors who often not convincingly win back separate scenes. The main disappointment – Ekaterina Gusev who only irritated, and erotic scenes with looked extremely tritely. Egor Beroevv of a role of the person knowing all in the best cases is satisfactory. Sukhanov in my opinion strongly changed. The result to me hardly managed to be looked through this film completely though there was an obvious desire or to leave a cinema or to have a sleep.

The Garage (1980)

Classics of the Soviet cinema

[10/10 · 14 May 2009]

"The Garage" is a film which you do not get tired to reconsider. It, as well as almost all Soviet comedies of that time, consists all of aphorisms of our cinema which are used till now by people in dialogue.

In my opinion, it undoubtedly one of the best comedy domestic films! "The Garage" is good such what it is: the brilliant actor's constellation, the interesting plot, the closed space. The director fairly and with humour says about a Soviet period, about people and things, that in any conditions is necessary to remain people, instead of the animals fighting for a place in the sun The director presents almost all types of human characters. Our country in which it is a lot of discrepancies: meetings of collectives in museums.

The decision of financial questions which our person does not postpone even in a wedding-day, after all private life — anything before public, and us not stopped even by children, grandsons.

The film not subject to time. Not losing the urgency on an extent here already many years. Classics of world cinema. Unfortunately, the given masterpiece is a little known in the West.

Excuse, for my bad English

Office Romance (1977)

Ingenious cinema

[10/10 · 3 March 2009]

The Soviet school of a cinema is unique. Without peripeties both an intricate plot, and any original form of a narration and abrupt special effects to shoot magnificent film. The strong hand of the talented director which could put this masterpiece for all times is felt. Andrey Myagkov's inexpressible game and Alisy Frendlih inhales especial charm in which the pure love, kindness, hope, belief, tears and pleasure is mixed in a film. Certainly, without other actors, it has not turned out so pathetic atmosphere. Especially, without Ahidzhakovoj

This film is to be reconsidered on many times and each time again to endure about heroes, to rejoice together with them, to laugh at the phrases learn by heart. This film lives in a shower, it combines magnificent game of actors, amazing music, and certainly love!!!

Domovoy (2008)

Good

[7/10 · 10 January 2009]

I have taken pleasure in viewing of the given Russian film that recently happens not often. We have an interesting plot, good work of actors. Shortly about a plot – not so successfully all develops at the young writer Anton Prachenko, without results trying to deduce on a wide look the book "Domovoy" about the hired killer about whom he has read in what that of the newspaper publication. In publishing house it is not especially claimed. And suddenly, he meets the hired killer and sees, how it makes, the ruthless murders. Further it it is banal gets to a police station as the witness of crimes …. But, suddenly the professional murderer finds the writer and between them certain mutual relations … About actors are fastened. Habensky has once again proved that he excellently plays drunkards. Moshkov as always at the high level. Most less, Hamatova was pleasant, is somehow fresh it played. Unfortunately, in the film scenario there are some holes. What for «Domovoy» has stolen the writer? It has executed all, enemies have killed him, and militiamen nevertheless on the writer and have written off. And «Domovoy» in chocolate. But, there is no it confuses more and more, operates somehow not logically … It is necessary to notice still that in a film music was remembered, it is a little unusual to our films. The result in a film is separate scenes calculated on the spectator who has come to look cinema, instead of having filled up with meal has received the Russian art absurd chewed to aversion. It is an excellent film and it not on once.

Thanks for attention.

Admiral (2008)

the Mediocre film

[3/10 · 20 October 2008]

Theme of white movement one of the most interesting and grasping in the history of Russia the XX-th centuries. It is history of the people who have chosen the way, distinct from others. And victims for the ideals. Someone it is valorous, someone it is disgraceful. Kolchak was the leader of white movement and it was actually possible to create a fine film. But, again unfortunately it has not turned out … Well when it will turn out?! Actually we will not stop on historical errors of a film, we will notice that they were, however as well as in many other films.

The main thing that is evident throughout all film is immense PATHOS, is direct to a nausea. The first fighting scene, with the German ship, in the beginning develops impression that we and do not resist to the opponent, at us a heap of the wounded and killed simple sailors. And Kolchak somehow easy goes and observes of it. Such sensation that Kolchak untouchable, also it is necessary to show in a considerable quantity a meat grinder from stupid and worthless Russian sailors. And then Kolchak will show a master class and will damage the enemy ship. Then a scene with passage through mines. There was an impression that if Kolchak has not prayed, we would not pass. And, Germans have forgotten, and in vain, and for it have rigidly paid off.

Now about a love story. To what genius has come to mind to invite this actress Liza Boyarskaya. I certainly understand that her daddy the fine actor, but it not so is often descended. Its game is simply awful. It is a pity that in Russia so cinema clans are strong. Well and so, Liza Boyarskaya such sensation that in first half of film plays the full silly woman. That, a silly smile with glass eyes does not understand even elementary things. In second half of film she repeats «I love you, Alexander Vasilevich» some times for a film, but, apparently, that to her all these recognitions are absolutely indifferent. To it whether it is boring, whether it is opposite, whether simply it would be desirable to smoke.

Khabensky also not so approaches. In general it looks like the shtabs-captain … It speaks about feelings more, but these words are incorporeal and empty. What to us try to show, what an admiral only and did, what prayed?! And still ran from red faster a hare in wood. Probably, he loved one woman of more Russia. And destiny in which he has started to trust has deprived of it, both Russia, and the beloved.

Bezrukov has not badly played. But what it has shown, brave, to nonsense of the general because of which it has ruined himself and Kolchak?! Who really was pleasant so it Kovalchuk. Has perfectly played it is a pity that to it has got so poorly screen time. Almost only its scenes with an admiral have caused in me though any emotions. Thanks.

Unpleasant feeling has left selection and other actors. Literally everyone not in the role. As result — any emotions from game.

As a result once again I will repeat that it is very a pity...

Thanks for attention.

Burn After Reading (2008)

An amusing criminal comedy...

[7/10 · 10 October 2008]

The film has turned out good in my opinion. Most likely I have not understood all American jokes as I am Russian, however as well as on the contrary, but also the film had that many good jokes. George Clooney and Brad Pitt have once again proved that they fine actors. Even it is difficult to me to allocate, who from them has appeared better, but I think that it Clooney! Other actors also did not drop out of the general ensemble, was especially remembered John Malkovich. The plot will turn out original, even did not think that poor thing Pitt will kill, and further someone will cut an axe with special cruelty. A result heroine Frances McDormand so wished to perform these numerous operations and it will make them, only how many the person have given for it a life, and to someone Venesuellu to Hugo Chavez was necessary to leave. The poor thing.

Gitler kaput! (2008)

Boring film

[2/10 · 2 October 2008]

Well. This year we have seen one more "masterpiece". Before us "has pleased" - "Samyy best film" If the beginning was still more or less further it all became worse and worse and has ended with a crazy ending. There was an impression that script writers not so strained - having decided that the spectator and it will gobble up and have actually appeared are right. Such weak film, and after all has collected already more than 8 million dollars in hire. That is we in the future will be waited by following "masterpieces" Now a little about actor's game. Anna Semenovich it is simply awful, it is impossible time to look all at its huge bust... Derevyanko too looks not the good, but nevertheless it is better, than Semenovich. Other actors also not so tried.

Taken (I) (2008)

The quite good insurgent

[6/10 · 27 September 2008]

Certainly given film is better, than films with participation Stevenа Seagal. The script writer possible to find a number of fine finds, first of all it is a scene with abduction of the daughter talking at this time with the father and a scene in the house of the selling French head when his wife pays off for its sins. Yes it was fine, basically it is a standard film. It is necessary to give due to the director which did not begin to extend a film. As a result it has turned out entertainment. Actor's game except for the protagonist does not impress.

P.S. I am sorry for the bad English

Righteous Kill (2008)

Quite good film

[6/10 · 26 September 2008]

Well. Unfortunately the film has turned out only quite good though having such actors from this film it is possible to expect much bigger. Р. de Niros and Al Pacino at least played still in two films - The Godfather: Part II and Heat. Both these of a film have turned out boring and not interesting. Righteous Kill has enough simple plot, already after 30 minutes of viewing I have guessed who is the murderer. Al Pacino has once again proved that it the ingenious actor, and with seeming ease has changed Roberta De Niro, however as well as always. De Niro in general in this film has played below the high level, than has greased impression about a film. Still would pay attention to worthy game John Leguizamo which already played with Al Pacino in magnificent film Carlito's Way. A result a film of an average level which can be looked only once.

P.S. I am sorry for my bad English.

Alyosha Popovich i Tugarin Zmey (2004)

Original Russian cartoon film

[9/10 · 7 September 2008]

Fine animated cartoon, with original humor and the non-standard scenario. The speaking horse - Julias is most remembered. Other heroes also are amusing. The given animated cartoon actually unique in modern Russia which can compete to the American cartoon films. With the account of Russian specificity it is pleasant to me unequivocally more than the American, whose animated cartoons become recently, all is worse and worse. One WALL-E is boring and is not original. All pleasant viewing.

Thanks for attention.

I Am Legend (2007)

Awful film

[1/10 · 31 August 2008]

At present on this resource I have estimated more than 600 films. Only once I have graded - 1 (unit). This estimation the given film Also has deserved. To tell that it is disgusting film it not to tell anything. It is the most boring American film which I saw for the life. Even looking this film in the company (about a miracle it was at home, instead of at cinema) it has not rescued us. We simply would like tore from it. I know, cases in Russia when people ran out from cinemas because of this film. In Russia such cases seldom occur. Thus the film was based not on the most bad literary work. But founders of a film have made everything to spoil it. Uill Smith was awful. For 1 hour from so has got that it would be desirable to break the TV. It was necessary to do a break. But also after a break from this film there was a nausea. I sympathize with all to those who went on this film to cinemas. Such tortures for own money still should be thought up! Thanks for attention! I am sorry for the bad English

The Terminal (2004)

Magnificent film

[10/10 · 31 August 2008]

Wow. It is a fine film. It is more than half we see a fine comedy with magnificent humor that last years a rarity in the American films. Further the film flows in a surprising melodrama. The film does not go under the usual standard they have met, have talked, have fallen in love and have lived together all fallen a life. As it is banal. And we see, they have met, have talked, have fallen in love and have run up. In an original way. Hanks is excellent, at what not as usually. It is always excellent, but in this film it was pleasant to me most of all. Even more than in Green Miles and Forest Gampe. Michael Duglasa's wife also played charmingly. Such beautiful woman already in itself an ornament of any film but if it still has actor's talent this already brilliant show. Other actors also have not spoil impression about a film. I enjoyed two hours this film. It is fine. It it is possible to look all family with children. Thanks its founders.

I am sorry for the awful English

Charlie Wilson's War (2007)

Boring film with excellent Hanks

[3/10 · 31 August 2008]

Well. For a long time wished to look a film. At last it was possible. The given film despite small duration ("pure" about 90 minutes) has appeared boring, it was quite possible to reduce to 15-20 minutes. The protagonist of a film - the congressman of USA Charles Wilson. It is represented to us the addict, the drunkard, the fan of women including married, surrounded with women of easy virtue. An awful image. Tom Hanks has played this role it is magnificent, and once again having proved that has knowingly received two Oscars. Further we see that for some top to say lies is a commonplace (one of them says lies that his son was at war in Vietnam against Russian). Really the American elite actually such false?!

The main heroine - actress Julia Roberts, has played the role very badly. The worst role in this film. The actor playing the ethnic Greek working in special services of the USA who is apparently discriminated in connection with the origin was pleasant. Thus it is the excellent expert. Further we see that the American elite originally wished to offer 5 million dollars, about 1 billion dollars Thus it as a result has spent has refused flatly to spend ALL 1 million dollars, to help Afghanistan to restore the country. Tremendous greed and nonsense. As a result one of heroes of a film says that Russian have in vain contacted Islam. Also it is the truth. Actually in what the main sense of a film. As I have understood that because of the greedy and silly policy of the USA now is compelled to be at war with Afghanistan. Now she repeats an error of Russian and struggles against Islam. Thus I will notice that Russian do not help now to Afghanistan, with difference from the USA.

P.S. Excuse for my bad English.

Terra Nova (2008)

Good new Russian film (it happens seldom now)

[8/10 · 30 August 2008]

Well. The scenario of the given film has seemed to me original. When I on it went, I expected another, but my expectations have been exceeded. First of all I expected that it is very terrible film, but except for one scene, the film is simply rigid, thus with witty humor. The film has grasped since first minute, and did not let out to the end. As it is clear, the majority of prisoners did not have a choice as in case of their refusal, them threatened to kill in prison. Already by the ship we see that people were divided into two camps: Russian and to it sympathizing and Chechens and others at war against Russian. The given moment has intrigued even more. Having reached "the new earth", there was a scene with keys. Here Russian have made the rough miscalculation operating by a principle "everyone for itself". Thus that they the first have rushed behind keys, Chechens being in smaller quantity, but operating with the organized group could grasp ALL keys. The sense of this scene, is obviously actual for today's Russia! Whether further Chechens decided to kill all Russian and their sympathizing. Thus their main aged man was for utter annihilation of Russian. The head of Chechens wished to understand first of all with two "debtors". Here Russian with the help гравного the hero (Zhilin) have come round and having taken advantage of a principle "all for one" have snatched on Chechens, and having destroyed them, thus having lost some persons. Further understanding that despite destruction of Chechens, the further conflicts between Russian not to avoid, Zhilin leaves them, taking itself the part of meal put to it. Shortly Nikolay who has killed 22 persons joins it to measure length of their direct and short gut. Between them "symbiosis", despite incident with Nikolay's sexual satisfaction on Zhilin's close photo was obviously fastened. But by the winter after a case which could ruin both of them, to Zhilin it became clear that it is necessary to come back to other Russian "colonizers" At returning having lost many forces, they have been grasped by other prisoners. Here again they see to what all has come. And the society where there are people of the first and second category has been constructed. And how differently?! The second group plays FASCINATING game... Will suffice with retelling... Actually to characters. I consider that the actor's ensemble is picked up perfectly, except for several characters. I did not like, for example, Zhigunov. But leading roles are simply excellent played. He/she is Lavroneko (Zhilin), but се knew that he can perfectly play, at least having recollected a film "Returning". But the actor playing Nikolay has even more shaken. Its image is not homogeneous, thus with a strange ending for the person of the killed 22 persons. Dapkunaite again was up to standard, but to level which it has shown in film Interdevochka has not held on. To the minuses, the greased, unrealistic ending. Actually a film it is necessary to look, this film forces to think Russians about them "to Russian road to the light future..." Thanks for attention.

Carlito's Way (1993)

Simply magnificent film!

[10/10 · 16 August 2008]

Wow. It is excellent film. Al Pacino has played the best role. Even in film the Godfather, it was not so is magnificent! The plot on a sight is simple enough, but in it its surprising appeal. To come off this film it is impossible not for a minute. Certainly important role in this masterpiece it has gone right Sean Penn, and it is very good, that for that moment it required money! I shall note also, that the main female role obviously concedes to the main things man's, but not because it plays badly. It plays well, but Al Pacino and Sean Penn are simply magnificent. The ending is good, when all seems, that to the protagonist удалосб, and we are waited with the USUAL "good" ending, but there is no also this moment very sentimental. As a result - look this film, differently you will lose much. It is better, than The Dark Knight. Oops

P.S. I Am sorry for my English

The Dark Knight (2008)

Fascinating film, is not that so?!

[7/10 · 14 August 2008]

Yesterday in Russia has occurred prime-minister of the given film. Having looked in a rating, that the given film borrows 1 place I has been surprised. This film with impatience also waited. From the beginning film has grasped me. The stage in bank has seemed to me original, but in the further the pressure of film has decreased, the moments it even was boring. But after that moment as the Joker has got in a police station film again has grasped me. However, the ending has turned out greased. It is obvious, that film is interesting also I advised all it for viewing, especially at cinemas. Most of all from actor's works I liked the Joker. It was really magnificent, even Jack Nicholson has liked me in this role less! And here the image of the Bat has upset, weakest of all which I saw. And its former girl was terrible, Hollywood could find on more nice...

P.S. I Am sorry for my bad English.
