The Village (2004)

Wuuush......

[14 September 2005]

Wow. You know, when I went to see it.. I didn't expect SO MUCH! I mean..WOW. It's a very interesting story. While watching it, at first I wasn't scared or anything, just puzzled probably, but the next thing I remember is crushing my boyfriend's hand ;))))))) I just saw it again on DVD, and it's the same experience all over again. I can't wait for the Life of Pi movie! People.. do watch this. And most of all for all you who don't like thrillers and scary movies: YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE MISSING HERE!

Great story, great action... great director... great acting!! Although you get kind of disappointed A LITTLE BIT at first but then... THEN!I don't want to continue because I'll give out the end or something.

Frida (2002)

An inspiring story

[8 February 2005]

Ahm.. I just watched this, it was from 2002 but I had no interest what so ever in the movie or the story when it came out, I knew about it I read in papers but never did actually saw it. Well, tonight was the night. And know this.. I will see it again.. and again until I understand that woman.. Frida Kahlo.

This is the kind of story that goes straight to your heart, straight to your brain and you sit there wondering " How could this really be true.. how could this really happen to a person?" I think that Frida was one brave woman, hell of an artist.. and I wish for myself to be like her if something so horrible happens to me. She was strong, she was a prey to conflicting emotions but she survived. The movie deserves a 10!

My neck hurts from sitting in that uncomfortable chair we have in the dining room but I couldn't feel any pain while watching "Frida". Why?! Simply, because I thought.. "wow.. how was that woman capable of staying alive for so long? How did she bear all that pain?"

This is a "have to see or regret for life".

The Birdcage (1996)

I'm coming out...

[31 January 2005]

OH.. my GOd! What a wonderful story, what a comedy.. I have no words to describe what I felt when I watched this. You see Robin Williams in this whole new character , he has never played this kind of role before.. well it suits him, don't you think? HE did a pretty good job with Armand Goldman, but what about his partner.. Nathan Lane, well what about him? He played perfectly his SHE.. Albert slash Starina Goldman slash Coleman role. They both do "fosse,fosse,fosse.. Martha Graham.. Martha Graham.. MADONNA ..MADONNA! Who else could be a "mother", a "Wife" and "just a guy" if not Nathan Lane, his shrieking is so funny, he is a true woman in this picture. I can say nothing more about the "Birdcage", you better watch it and find out the rest yourself..

To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar (1995)

I liked it

[3 January 2005]

I have watched this movie.. not once but.. many times since it came out. It's just incredible seeing Snipes wearing a dress.. talk about a huge biceps! Well it's unbelievable ..but Snipes played his role quite good.. I mean "go girlfriend"! He is the woman.. in that film! And the voices.. oh my God..they probably took some lessons on that one, you know Swayze has a very deep voice and what about Wesley.. I don't know how they solved the problem but they DID!;) Just..see the movie and you'll know.

All in all.. three drag queens stuck in a small town trying to go to a very important "drag queen meeting".. I really enjoyed the whole "I am a strong man in a very tight dress wanting to be a DRAG QUEEN" thing going on in the picture. It's worth renting this..sit down and watch it..but don't be scared by the looks of those three :)!

Gospodin za edin den (1983)

a very funny story..

[22 December 2004]

If you have seen Todor Kolev 's acting before you would probably know that this is his masterpiece.. The movie is incredibly hilarious, one of the funniest Bulgarian movies ever made. But if you are not familiar with the Bulgarian way of life in the 1930s maybe you would not find this picture so amusing. All in all it's a great moral story and even if you do not know anything about Bulgaria, just take a look at the film.. you'll definitely end up laughing with tears streaming down your face.

I give it 10/10 because it is one of the few Bulgarian movies which will never be forgotten.

Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid (2004)

Nothing like the 1997..

[24 November 2004]

This is the case of the "bad movie good trailer" syndrome. If you have seen the trailer you would want to watch the movie, BUT it will be a very huge mistake. First of all the plot is too shallow, the snakes are badly made ,probably by a group of low-paid computer geeks,and also the director goes way over his head with some of the scenes. I mean the movie is fictional but this is too much!

Second, the cast, who are those people? Well, I doubt their chance of getting a leading role in a famous movie again. There is a blond chick with a very strange and "cant describe from where" accent, two black dudes, one of them is kinda famous though, and more unknown people and by the way Salli Richardson? That funny sound she makes when she is scared.. very weird I think the poor woman cant scream, she imitates screams which you can only hear on Animal Planet.

Despite..all of this I just wrote.. maybe you should watch the movie it does have its special moments.
