Do critics have an impact? For sure, but everybody has their own way of seeing the movie.
There..s a difference between critics and reviewers, so don..t think everyone is or can be a critic.
I will say most of movies are too predictible that you already at the beginning know what to expect. If some movie makes good money it does not mean that this particular movie is good.
I don..t pay any attention to it, I like it or I don..t.
Do I call myself a critic, no i..m not, i..m still just a reviewer.
I watched a milion movies, but this time i..ll share with you just a few.
1. I KNOW WHO KILLED ME
The idea for this movie seems to be inactive. But even tho it is thoughtfully written. You must understand between all the beauty of so called drama you gotta have a real character to deliver this answer and put it together. In my point of view somewhere along the line I liked this one. Even I had moments disappearing through and with no commercial success it showed a different side. With LL..s acting skills I must also say she is a great actress, but she should use it some more.
2. THE SECRET LIFE OF BEES
A brilliant movie, it really got me thinking of my own life and how would it maybe be. It..s like living in parallel universe, a paradox where you need a condition on a daily basis, and maybe sometimes you can..t see it, but it is there. Great way to taste the memory.
3. BABYSITTER WANTED
I was surprised, not in a good way. Do people in 2008 still make this kinda movies. Shocking. When you look at the performance and the story inside it is a total waste. I can..t even be nice and say that the setting was unique. Maybe I did miss a few good parts, but a rusty one most def. I mean I like Matt and Kyle Xy was cool, but this, hmmm no :(
4. MARLEY & ME
A complete defenition of life, the ups and downs. We know the story very well in our own prospective. Not a conventional comedy, but a sound movie, very emotional. The characters are easy to relate to. In this full circle you can find a little bit about yourself. It..s worth seeing.
5. LATTER DAYS
Powerful movie. the world of heterosexuality and homosexuality. Complete and strong opinions. It tells a story but it..s all a bit different, really heartfelt and conflicted. Very original piece with strong preformance. And its not another shallow movie, only a way to show people that love knows no bounds.
6. UNDEAD
Don..t even bother. Can it get any worst then this? Everything in this movie was so bad, The acting, production, special effects, sound effects, music, dialogue, photography, the script, the whole screenplay was bad. Doesn..t have a style, doesn..t have the message, pretty much boring and very low.
7. IF ONLY
I was thinking about not watching it at first, but I said I can give it a chance. It turn out this movie is very quite shower in the industry. Nice. As life projected different paths, are you there to follow? I like this movie, because it has a soul. A soul to manage and catch your thoughts. Even tho the end was shocking, a suprise, it did bring the present.
Also I love Jen..s acting, the dying scene in the end was amazing, true and powerful. I choose this to be a good movie, cause I choose to enjoy the moment as a reminder that all good can end in just a second.
8. AUSTRALIA
I..m not a fan of this. The whole story is just too long, the scenes are long. Australia has a beautiful land, but I don..t know what this movie was all about. If you ask me is this a true criteria of some masterpiece? Hmm, no. There doesn..t seem to be much going on. It feels like all is messed up in cult classic of nothing. I..m not saying I hated it, but was I dissapointed, yeah very much. It flops and is not the real center of interest.
9. DOUBT
There is a very little doubt in my mind that his was a great movie. Put together to carefully. A doubt about your thinking, your choices, your faith, even your behaviour, in a way that makes it more interesting. Allowing your inner self to guide you is not always the right thing. . People arent always voilent or good as they have been portrayed. This movie is humbled but it stands against any opposition.
10. CADILLAC RECORDS
It takes you way back, to the last possible moment. You can call it a pleasure from the start to finish. So energetic. Through all the music you can feel the story, how they swing the preformance. Dealing with deep and legendary soul and blues musicians, richness.
11. FUNNY GAMES
This movie was weird. It hits you right in the head, literally. Attention to the special effects, hahaha. Worthless. You can just sit through it all in extreme self-control and laugh at the stupidity.
12. CHRISTMAS CAPER
Bright and new Christmas movie. Actually good to watch for any time. The thing that makes this movie charming in its own way is coming together. Having treachery and loving heart, it is cute and fun, a feel.good movie.
13. WHITE OLEANDER
Brilliant piece. On this emotional rollercoaster learning about life. Learning lessons with the scars inside. Sometimes a new start can be in the wrong place and it doesn..t seems real, but it..s good being there. Very ordinary, you can put yourself in this part cause you are the impression of life you live.
14. WRONG TURN
To me the horror genre is the best genre. Yeah its true you have a lots of bad movie, but this has a charisma. I wasn..t annoyed very as I used to be after watching one. But I love the concept and i..ll pass the boring parts. Playing in the background it was ok. Was pretty good for a horror movie tho.
15. CRUEL INTENTIONS
My fav movie of all time. Well-written piece. It was a pleasent surprise at first, very enjoyable movie. A tragic final makes the truth, and the past is over. Full of drama, angry and frustrated, plays with your mind. You can see the magical collector as you follow the freedom, letting go of yesterday and keeping the memories. Kick it hard when it hurts. Twisted but amazing.
