Duplicity (2009)
i didn't get the illogical story line , but i still had fun to watch it.
i didn't get it , the whole movie . the start was already hard to follow ,i started to watch the movie without reading about it before what it was all about.
after a while i figured out the story line had something to do with spy actions. then in the middle of the movie i got totally lost in the story line, in the end i was left with so much questions . now i am just reading on IMDb about the plot , and all the reviews make me understand better what the movie was about. well that was fun i guess ? if the story line was told a bit more logical , it would have been probably an easier movie to watch. like this now it was so hard to try put all the pieces together and make it understandable. i still had fun to watch it , but just didn't get a clue how exactly the story was. i also think that the fact there is no happy end in the movie , people are not satisfied after watching it. all was for nothing . if there were so many plots in the movie , why not make an extra plot in the end again to yet make still the happy end finally ?
De storm (2009)
good movie from start to end , very realistic .
i also saw this movie yesterday , i was impressed , i think it was a great movie ,
the big action in the beginning of the movie , didn't make you fall asleep.
instead of a boring talking start of the movie , it shows you immediately the big bang , how the water destroyed the helpless people by surprise. it shows very realistic how this all did happen. now finally we all can see and understand what the people had been through in 1953.
BUT the movie is not ABOUT the storm , . if people see this movie , they might expect to see a movie about the storm like a disaster movie. there is lots of disaster to see but the storm was not the big subject here .
the real story here is about a mother looking for her disappeared baby. the storm disaster itself here is just a part of the movie to show in what time this story did happen.
for this reason i think they could have called the movie a different name ,
because this movie was all about the young mother , they could have called the movie , The Zeeuws Girl , just an example
( Zeeuws because that is the name from the area where she lives) that would have been a more honest name for this movie. because the movie is about HER and her baby . and then when people see the movie they find out it all happened during the storm .
Just like in MASTERPIECE The Pianist . they didn't call the movie THE WAR ! because that movie was not ABOUT that war but about that pianist , than watching the movie you find out it happened during that war . a very cool way and honest way for a movie to profile itself. that movie would probably confuse when Polanski would call that movie THE WAR , and then people would see a movie about a pianist , so 10 points for Polanski by the way ... so no confusion creating by wrong chosen name for a movie
i understand why they want to call this movie THE STORM , because they want to attract people with this name , but too bad it gives confusion when people will see a film about a mother and her baby . still a great movie . and still a must see .
i liked everything about it. would actually be better if her son in the end was meeting his never met younger sister or brother . where are the new kids from the mother ? did she never get new kids again with her new boyfriend ? that would be a nice happy end . maybe i should be a filmmaker ?
lucky in this movie they didn't speak in Zeeuws dialect , nobody would probably understand that dialect , except of course the people who speak that dialect in that area.
go see the movie and be ready to wipe your tears.
The Pianist (2002)
the ultimate war movie to me , impressive movie.
probably the ultimate war movie , not the shooting stuff , but from a victims view. i am a pianist myself and felt like i was looking at myself and could imagine what he was going through . my favorite part was when he got pulled away from his father when entering the train , and the officer shouted , what are you doing , i am saving your life, ... and don't run ! it was a second that changed his future . also , the movie didn't bore at any moment , every second was worth to watch. normally every movie has a few seconds where it falls asleep. the weak moments from a movie . but this one kept going without weak moments . my opinion about roman Polanski is very good now. before it was just a famous name to me . i can not believe how people can be so bad like the soldiers i have seen in this movie. and probably somewhere in the world it is still like this today.
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)
technical problems are disturbing your time to enjoy while watching
i found out that thousands of people reviewed it as one of the worst movies ever ...i thought it was still entertaining , although i agree the movie was not well made .. it has too many mistakes to keep your mind focused and to enjoy. the cuts from one to the other scene are often too sudden and strange . also i didn't hear anyone complain about the sound, i am probably the only one that can hear something is wrong with the studio work voice over job. you can hear clearly that every spoken phrase has been dubbed in a studio . i don' t mind that , as long as the movie sounds like you are on location , but it really sounds like a recording studio . cheap and fast production it seems to me. nobody probably did care about it , and wanted to finish the movie soon to cash the money . that is what i think. where was the director deciding if the job was well done ? maybe he was just tired , and didn't double check the final sound results, that also counts for the strange cuts here and there . i guess everyone can see that a lot of cuts from one to the next scene are not so well worked out ... it makes me think all the time ... what was that going on there ? instead of following the movie. i would think this movie was made by a few kids doing this for the first time inspired by classics . not good enough for a world hit as they promise you in the hype and trailers ...i still give a 7 , sometimes the movie is OK here and there just a few parts ..
The Wicker Man (2006)
what in the world was wrong with Nicolas when he was reading this script ?
i liked the movie so far except the last minute , i was waiting for the great plot. what in the world was wrong with Nicolas cage when he was reading the script . they told him , hey we let you search your daughter , but in stead of a great plot where you save her and you are the hero , we just let you burn in the end and you loose , what about that end ? do you like that end? Nicolas ?,,, uh OK, he must have said ...... ? ? ? ? i want to forget this movie. there should be an official federal agency to prohibit this kind of bad stupid endings in big production movies, i am sure 99% of the audience didn't like the end, and that killed the whole movie. everything was fine until the movie was suddenly starting the credits in the end. i couldn't believe it .i guess something was definitely wrong with the producers fantasy and director. what were they thinking ? a big smash hit movie because Nicolas now plays in it ? this is a feel bad movie , a lot of people got angry after pay and see this ...
