Testosteron (2007)
Nice
If Maciek Stuhr appears in a movie it has to be good. The cast is superb (right now Kot, Szyc are top polish actors of young generation). Script is quite funny, maybe it has some low moments but generally they did their best and the action moves smoothly.
Some may say that women were shown in bad light in this movie... well sure they exaggerated "a little" but then men weren't pictured at their best either so I guess it was a square deal.
If you had some terrible experiences with polish comedies (polish people thought them utterly funny and you couldn't even follow the main plot) this will not be the case (or so I hope:)
Pride & Prejudice (2005)
Nice but...
This movie is in many aspects far better than BBC's Pride & Prejudice series (1995). Costumes that don't give the impression of night-dresses. Better group scenes (a ball is what it should be and not a dinner party at aunt Marcie's). Good cast of supporting actors. Rosamund Pike, is all Jane Bennet should be: nice looking, fresh, shy. Brenda Blethyn's less hysteric version of Ms Bennet is enjoyable. Tom Hollander's performance is just splendid.
Having said this much, I must admit that I didn't like this movie even half as much as I liked the BBC version. It just lacked this magical thing that makes your heart beats faster... quite a big accusation for a romantic movie don't you think?
Wiedzmin (2001)
save your time
the movie is simply horrible (2/10). Although actors are trying their best (well sometimes that isn't much) special effects are ...let me put it this way it would be better if there weren't any.
The script is based on Sapkowski's prose, so it should be the biggest advantage of this movie. Sadly it's the opposite. There is nothing left of the original atmosphere. And it's all very chaotic. Maybe they just had too much material to show in 2h time.
Anyway if you would like to see this film I would recommend you to look for the TV series (same title, same actors, even the plot stays the same) that was made in the same time the movie did. It is so much better (9/10) and the story there actually make sense:)
