Since September 2006, I'll post a movie here each month. From any time, any place. Just one I liked, and why...
2007:
August's Choice:
Meet Joe Black
A magical movie, fantasy indeed. Just the lines, music, the whole idea of death incarnate and causality, philosophy of life and death, in short... they all make this movie worth seeing. The trio of actors play amazing roles, and they play them so well...
April's Choice:
Nicholas Sparks Movies
Spend a day thinking about your love...
For whoever has seen "Love story", movies like "A walk to remember", "The Notebook" and "Message in a bottle" are amazing. The soundtrack for the first one, especially, is unbelievable. If I've ever met someone that knows how to portray love in the deepest, noblest and most sublime circumstances, this is the guy.
March's Choice:
Happy Feet
Find the song of your heart...
This movie has the best soundtrack I've heard in a very long time! The story is penguinish, like we're starting to see more and more nowadays, and it is related to a documentary made on the little guys... Love, happiness, it's like a childish musical! Find out the story of Mumble Happyfeet!
February's Choice:
Mr Fix It
Just another way you end up believing in love...
What if you were the guy that fixes all relationships, but you don't believe in love? Perhaps, in fact, that's what helps you do this job with such great success - you always get your client his girl back! This is a way to look at how "cheap" love around us actually is, and how life makes it that you stop believing in it. But then, something happens...
January's Choice:
Just like heaven
A superb movie... it changed my days.
Fictive situation, but one that really makes you think about what love means to you and how unusual us men and women are reacting to it. Love can change the world, and even defeat death. If you're a believer, then I strongly recommend it. And, anyway, you should see it... it might change your view of what's your life like, and what really matters.
2006:
December's choice:
Pursuit of happyness
Read the trivia and goofs after you see the movie! See if you notice them. I didn't...
Go see this with your family. The time you're there makes you think about you and your parents' life more than anything. The mispelling of happYness is intentional, great actually... has to do with the building where the main character's child stays during the day. Nothing I could say would describe the atmosphere in this movie properly. If you've seen movies that show how life is hard, yet also show it's best if you don't give up hope, this lies right beside them.
Also, it's realistic and discusses that bit of the constitution that claims every human being has the right to pursue happiness...
November's choice:
The Lake House
The other stuff (trailer, pics) can be found on IMDB.
Sometimes, it does not matter what you limit reality to. This is an example of a movie where you are asked to disregard time, and look into the people. It's a movie about love, and, for those who know, it has to do with the book Persuasion (forgot the author, you can check in the movie), a story about second chances, kind of. I've felt different after seeing this, and... love felt different too. Makes you think and ponder. Besides, Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves play well together.
October's choice:
The wild
The other stuff (trailer, pics) can be found on IMDB.
Interesting enough, a story about a father and his son - as lions. See, cartoons characters may always be kind of a joke, because they are "for kids", but, actually, they can make you think. A story like in this movie is broad and general, and I always enjoy the friendships and funny jokes cartoons pull-up. If you're a fan of 3D sweet family&friends cartoons, this is for you!
September's choice:
Click (2006)
The other stuff (trailer, pics) can be found on IMDB. If you see/have seen the movie, let me know what you think. Thanks, and enjoy!
Adam Sandler is an actor I like to see on the stage, because he always manages to look outsmarted (really well!), and that's funny. Also, the point of the film, although not so obviously represented (due to the fact that it's meant to be a cute comedy) is that, in your right mind, YOU WILL NEVER WANT TO SKIP MOMENTS OF YOUR LIFE. And the bottom line is this: learn from the bad, enjoy the good.
Actually, the behavior of the remote he uses is quite an interesting metaphor for real-life people and how they end up playing the "game of life", so think about that.
