Jue di tao wang (2016)
Old style Jackie Chan film at it's core
First of all if you like the old style Jackie Chan Films, you most likely would like this one!
The pilot and sub-pilot is nothing to write home about, OK and fun, but not that special. But pace was just right, you never get bored even when the action happen to stop for moment. -Romance parts, all are feel little bit forced, but then again, you(I am anyway) are here to watch Jackie Chan movie, not some romantic drama. -Action was solid, but bit slow then Chan's old films, he does get old it seem. -comedic parts was also OK! Few here and few there, just to keep things light, which is good, I really didn't like what they did in Rush Hour, which many comedic moment feel very force and way too many! -And for a "old" person that grow up watching Chan's movie, this movie has almost zero Blood or Gore, which is actually refreshing now days.
Over all it's light, fun(with some kong-fu action)and entertaining Film!
Interstellar (2014)
Interesting but super overrated!
I had watch some of Christopher Nolan films before, some of them I liked very much and some not at all. Most of his films seem to be trying very hard to provoke some deep thought...Not always works.
This one, unfortunately is one of those films. You will have a somewhat interesting (but way too long) "store" with awesome special effects. The main problem about this movie(for me)is that after movie end, my first thought wasn't about the possibility of this future(about our race),but the fact that they should have cut about 1/4 the film. There ware a lot of places where they could have cut some parts off!
The most interesting part of "Interstellar" is of course the part about time dilation. That part did provoke some discussion and debate between my friends.
Over all a must see film, but personally I believe it's the most overrated movie of 2014(as I was disappointed). 7/10
5 Days of War (2011)
A movie that "Joseph Goebbels" would have like
As a movie about a war that just happen,it of course very interesting. As you can see at many the review and forum comments,the movie's topic a flaming one. The maker of the movie made it sound like a movie base on mainly facts. That was the reason I choose to see this movie.
As I'm nor Russian or Georgian(nor one of their allies), and I live quite far for all this mess,I consider my self quite neutral in this issue.
Sadly,this movie is far from facts,and it's so full of propaganda movie that I couldn't even enjoy it's entertainment value.
'5 Days of August' is suppose to tell us a story about the Russian-Georgian war in 2008,from TV-crews eyes. The conflict it's self isn't that sudden,because the area had a long history full of madness,politics and fighting. Which this movie did try to explorer,but quite poorly. Mainly because it only tell the story on the side of Georgians(view of the war from Georgians side). Russians was made to be the main and the only bad guys(which in some context,they of course were at fault,as they act just like US in Irak. Anyway the main problem been Georgians was not as pure and guiltless as it showed). As story came down to a purelly propaganda movie(Georgian been the true Freedom fighters,and not mass murders of their own peoples or South Ossetians. Which depend on your view on South Ossetians independents)that would have made Goebbels proud of this one. As a history and Document fan,I find this movie as bad as it can be. American's propaganda aren't usually this direct, only the Nazi and communist did this type over the top propaganda junks.
As a simple movie, this one has nothing special. Special effect are poor. Garcia and Kilmer made me want to cry! This two's acting is not at the same level as they should be. As b-level Director goes, Renny Harlin did an OK job. He been a Finn must had something to do with why he was in this movie,because even he is overqualified for this movie. Anyhow Winter war and this one aren't the same. Finland wan't the one starting the war,nor did they bomb their own people as part of their plan to "free" them.
Worst thing about this movie,is that some lazy people might actually believe this movie is about facts.
People with open mind and have the mind to study up on the issue of South Ossetia war/history should see this movie(as a joke about Hollywood style of facts), or Movie students. This is 2011 propaganda movie, that use the same style as Nazi's and communist did.
