ADAM & EVA
This Swede film is your typically humourous European romantic comedy. True love, adultery, faith and destiny: Adam & Eva is your 90s
take of Snow White and her straying Prince of shining armour. A little raunchy and highly watchable, this movie is a good date choice, especially
for couples with a rocky relationship. Men may be pigs but they ain't that bad forever. Check this out and you will know what I mean.
Documentary but highly interesting, The Last Days is Schindler's List with real victims of the holocaust starring without any actors.
Produced by Steven himself, you should not expect anything less than compelling, especially when dealing with subject matters of such content. The lives of a
few of the survivors just before the end of the second World War will make you appreciate, and I mean really appreciate, everything you have and diminish
any of your so-called major life crisis. The vivid captures and footages of the brutality during the war, the conditions and the atmosphere are beyond verbal description.
If you want to learn and experience the feeling of really getting your ticket money worth, try this. Just don't expect a fun ride.
What is that seemingly cool film about? Fantastic actors, great camera work, powerful scenes of violence... I personally did not
see the 'light' at the end of the tunnel. On the contrary, I feel like an attempt to ridicule my mind has been made. The controversy is rooted
in the unabashed takings of brutal mindless violence and frankly, the cool-factor in bare-fisted punching has risen in my perspective after the movie.
How uncool can something Brad Pitt and Edward Norton do be? That may be the biggest joke of the film: so much read into something so twisted.
If holding your girlfriend's hand after blowing your mouth out with a gun and watching the skyscrapers blow up one by one is your idea of a romantic evening,
I have just the movie for you. It is unusual, a little thought-provoking and almost aesthetically gratifying. Personally, I did not get a thing about the movie
and little out of it. You should really judge this for yourself. Let me know what you think, or what you think you got.
Witty, delightful and funny... the qualities of Rupert Everett pretty much sums up the review for his latest work as the smooth bachelor
in An Ideal Husband. Julianne Moore is terrific as the scheming lady as opposed to the equally charming Cate Blanchett. Minnie Driver is, as usual,
excellent, especially in one of these roles. Very English but very understandable... Ideal is a fresh switch from the recent flood of hyped and f/x-packed
Hollywood productions. If you enjoyed Emma or A Midsummer Night's Dream, you will find this equally rewarding. How wrong can Everett (My Best Friend's Wedding),
Blanchett (Elizabeth), Moore (Boogie Nights) and Driver (Good Will Hunting) go? Unfathomable.
Honest, simple, truthful and full of heart... Sylvia Chang masterfully captures the magic of first love in Tempting Heart.
The play of chronology without compromising the plot is reminiscent of American History X. The compatible leads of Gigi Leung and Takeshi Kaneshiro aka Aniki Jin
plus Karen Mok were aptly chosen for this Hong Kong production. It is one of those epic-feeling love storys, not just a chapter-on-your-life anecdotal
movies. A clever screenplay, realistic and bittersweet, without the typically annoying crowd-pleasing storyline may well be the magic behind this
genuinely satisfying movie. A perfect date movie but the singles should find this more than digestible as well. One of the best HK film I've caught definitely.
Lukewarm reviews and box-office gross didn't hurt the viewing experience too much till the last 10 minutes of this movie. The film
opened well and sort of maintained the classy feel and intensed plot. The plot is not exactly highly original but with Johnny Depp and
Charlize Theron, it well along as best as it could have. Little action but still suspenseful... the film became a little better than expected.
Sadly, the movie turns into a farce of sorts with a b-rate ending. The anti-climax category for film awards should be created at next Mtv movie awards
just for Astronaut's alone. What was the producer thinking?
