Reviews by Jimmy Tancredi

This Cameron Diaz's movie always serves only to spend time, it doesn't add absolutely nothing, the script is generally pretty weak, as well for the photography. But still thus, I could laugh onto some funny scenes and it's enjoyable to watch, though. It also could have been more elaborated.

The movie totally looses itself in caricature and satire of the genre poorly developed after more than a hour projection with the film allegedly trying to look serious, and then descends toward the ridiculous. Quite poorly drafted, lost, silly. An attempt to look like Poltergeist, and when they realized that it wouldn’t feasible, tried the output of make fun of itself. The fact that the ghosts were laughing was completely unnecessary (in fact I believe they all could have stayed out of the film). The scene where the devil was teasing his nails was priceless, I laughed when I saw it, then it took all the climate of horror, I mean, it screwed all. To avoid spoilers I’d suggest you to watch and see how a movie can get lost in a story so totally cool.

Along with typical elements of the director, Pulp Fiction is a chronologically scrambled collection of stories of crime are linked and extremely intelligent and entertaining. With that story, almost tough of Tarantino, the film makes references to other movies, series in several twists that change the opinion of the public about the supposed hero of the story. Fulled with jokes and dirty and gross terms, the film’s atmosphere reigns over drugs, violence, deception and monologues filled with a great choice especially casting John Travolta, Samuel L Jackson, Uma Thurman, Vin Diesel and others to make the viewer out of real life and replace it by the generic provocations and homages to old films and style change and relying on the ever impressive soundtrack by Tarantino. Sensational! Loved how Tarantino accosted themes that could have had terrible scenes or pretty flat, but his irony is fantastic! I don’t understand why I haven’t seen this movie before, maybe as I am older I can understand such things, guess it’s the right time.

I really liked the cast! Very nice people gathered for the premiere of Drew Barrymore as a director. There are many cute scenes, some dialogue as well. But what attracts this movie, other than the cute Ellen Page, are the super forced performances of the girls. Drew and Juliette Lewis are very enjoyable to see. In addition, the Roller Derby is fun to watch because it has a lot of beating. I also loved the soundtrack. I think it’s a worth seeing movie. It’s not a big movie obviously, but worthy by the money. Only the synopsis is not to expect too much, then it attends to possible expectations. The moral of the story is also nice, the value of friends, family and others to assert themselves. Nice to see with friends, or even with parents. You’ll like it if you like teen movies of Ellen Page, the story about young people wanting independence, funny women, and of course Girl Power.

I liked the movie, I found the story good, but poorly utilized, unfortunately. I expected more emphasis on Kris Kristofferson performance, only that it happened and was disappointed a little. Hilary has really grown up as an actress, despite having only a few scenes. But the few that she is, is working well. You can see more of that in the extras (deleted scenes) to give a better idea. Very good for those who don't like sugar water, a great family portrait dismantled. Who wants to see a happy movie better get away from this.

"The Devil Wears Prada" is a master of witty humor and refined, fun to see. The film is also a full plate for anyone who loves fashion, but the most attentive to realize that the message goes far beyond that. Anne Hathaway acted very well on the scene and the inspired performance from Meryl Streep waiver adjectives. She is such a diva, is another level. David Frankel's direction is swift and competent, the supporting team is luxurious. Everything in "The Devil Wears Prada" pleases. I'm not a fan of the movie, but I can say that Miranda Priestly is the most iconic female character in movies in the past decade. Meryl Streep didn't win the Oscar for one thing such as: comedy. The film has a certain status of comedy, so much that Meryl won the Golden Globe for best actress in a comedy. If producers weren't so worried about leaving the cute and funny movie, if they were more faithful to the book and the movie was serious, more dramatic tone, Meryl would have won the Oscar.

Fighting is a film that tries desperately to be relevant in any way, but it is only a weak action film punctuated by some good ideas in the script. The film tells the story of Shawn MacArthur, a young man lost in life after a fight in a square is contacted by an agent that helps him making money in illegal fights. With an outcome of the head just wrong (as The Man Who Copied, for example), Fighting is a film that shows that the end had interesting characters and was supposed to be a good movie, and it's unfortunate they have chosen the easiest and most commercial way doing this luxury, which only pays to be seen even by the great Channing Tatum.

I spent the movie with a feeling that something would happen that impact, and it did. I was surprised, especially with the furl of the story. I cried of course, with the relation of friendship that was established through the brothers during the film. Definitely I could see the lyricism and depth that the film suggests. Outside the tremendous opportunity to put Radcliffe highlighted, and the film is all of the little boy Misty, who's there at the bottom of the poster. I really enjoyed... shows the importance of friendship, being given to family when we oportunide of having it.
A star for the landscape, found it was fabulous.
A star for the performance of Dan, I appreciated a lot.
A star for the decision at the end of Sparks. It was very meaningful.
A star for the end of the movie, thought it was beautiful.

It's basically the same as the original but is a thousand times more exaggerated. The original is more natural to make you believe more in the story, since the remake makes it all far-fetched, unrealistic. It's decent, but only for a change, the original is better. Hopefully we've got the beautiful Jessica Alba collaborating with the look of the film. The story is interesting and plausible, has some good scenes of shock, although not being many and not giving so afraid and the performances are reasonable. Jessica Alba played fairly better than I expected.

The director thinks he is orchestrating images and sequences of impact, but the film is a formulaic tedium atrocious! The characters are unconvincing and unbearable, mostly, and the script is absurd and increasingly bad! You can watch us fools when it comes to fun, but it is terribly absurd.
