Travolta pesadão

Posted : 2 weeks, 1 day ago at Nov 7 8:55
Você stalingrado, está em cartaz nos cinemas o filme novo do John Travolta. E como John Travolta é a LOOZ que me ilumina, fui lá ver, toda faceira e serelepe. Quando me falaram que o protagonista pesava mais de 4 toneladas eu meio que tremeliquei dentro do meu coração, da minha alma. Não sabia que o Travolta taha nesse estado já. Quer dizer, ele fez Hairspray há dois anos atrás, mas aquela gordura toda era espuma, era não? Será que não era e ele continuou engordando loucamente desde então, chegando a incrível e nauseante marca de QUATRO TONELADAS em 2009? Meu coração era só palpitação e lamúria. Quase nem podia segurar a pipoca, temendo o pior enquanto passava pela CARALHÉSIMA vez o trailler de The Ugly Truth, trailler este que está passando há pelo menos UM ANO no...Read more

good but not the original

the original Taking of Pelham ONE TWO THREE starred Walter Mathau (Bad News Bears, Grumpier old men) and Robert shaw(From Russia with Love) in one of his best performances to date. However the original film was racy,funny, and even ironic and yet very truthful to what the viewer was seeing. it also had a very unique cast which included Julius Harris, Jerry Stiller, Martin Balsam, and Hector Elizondo.With the unique cast the film not only worked well but the characters had an undying chemistry that made the film what it is and how it is known today.Needless to say with the films success it was again re-made later with Edward James Olmos(Battlestar Galactica) and vincent D'Onofrio. As we all know Hollywood likes to re-make films when it's ideas get predictable and tends not to sell as well. ...Read more

Pedestrian, albeit enjoyable remake

"Life is simple now. They just have to do what I say." The modern Hollywood remake train continues unabated with The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3; flash-over-substance specialist Tony Scott's reimagining of the crackling 1974 suspenser of the same name. In a sense, The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 is similar to riding the subway: it moves forward at a decent pace, hitting all anticipated stops before reaching a predetermined destination. In other words, it's a suspense movie without any real surprises, twists or turns. Scott also imposes his signature bag of visual tricks - there's incessant camera movement as well as plenty of random zooms, seizure-inducing edits, bleary slow motion, and other assorted forms of superfluous visual assault. However, to the credit of Scott and screenwriter Brian Helg...Read more
