Europa Report (2013)

November 07, 2014
Polish title: Europa Report

I expected something much worse. Despite the fact that
this film was not a blockbuster, not felled views and special effects,
I think that the topic was interesting and a whole was quite frightening.
It remains to wait for a real expedition to Europa.

Edge of Tomorrow (2014)

November 13, 2014
Polish title: Na skraju jutra (On the Edge of Tomorrow)

I cann't resist the impression that it was a cross between
Groundhog Day with Starship Troopers :) Anyway... I liked.
The first part of the movie was quite original and quite funny,
especially some main character's 'resets'. I really liked the relationship
between Cage and Rita, not too sweet, not too neutral. I'm not a fan
of Tom Cruise, I don't see any good movie with him since the Collateral,
but here I think his performance is successful. In summary,
a lot of good action, it wasn't boring, ending a fairly standard,
but I think that really worth it to see this movie.

Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014)

November 23, 2014
Polish title: Transformers: Wiek zagłady (Transformers: Age of Extinction)

I saw only the first part of the Transformers,
and it's to this day one of the worst movies that I have seen.
I don't know what I had expected after this one, but encouraged
the participation of Mark Wahlberg decided to check it out.
I thought maybe I'll like at least a little, but unfortunately,
none of that. It was long and boring...

Good Morning, Vietnam (1987)

November 04, 2014
Polish title: Good Morning, Vietnam

It wasn't so brilliant, what I expected, but I think this movie
was pretty cool. Humorous elements intertwined with moving and dramatic,
definitely a huge plus was the great music. When was "What a Wonderful World"
I almost cried. And Robin Williams... yeah, I like to look at him.

Dead Poets Society (1989)

November 22, 2014
Polish title: Stowarzyszenie Umarłych Poetów (Dead Poets Association)

REWATCH
"I went to the woods because I wanted to live deliberately,
I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life,
To put to rout all that was not life
and not when I had come to die discover that I had not lived."

Courage Under Fire (1996)

November 02, 2014
Polish title: Szalona odwaga (Crazy Courage)

Not especially like it, but it wasn't bad. But I think, despite
all my love for Denzel Washington, it wasn't successful role. After movie
also expect more. At the current month I chose movies that according to
Polish film portal, are the least to my taste. I wanted to check.
Polish film portal Filmweb.pl is the second largest (after IMDB.com)
online database of information related to movies, actors and television
series. Filmweb uses an algorithm, which based on rated movies, selects
not watched movies by the extent to which I can enjoy. I don't believe in it,
but this month it may be, that I should.

Tomorrow, When the War Began (2010)

November 27, 2014
Polish title: Jutro, jak wybuchnie wojna
(Tomorrow, When the War Will Break Out)

What can I say... It's definitely not a book, but I think
presents it quite well and I like it. This film can be accused of many things,
which has already been done for sure, among other things:
poor acting, cheesy special effects, or unreality of the situation
(start a war over the weekend) etc. And I say that whoever read the book,
knows, that this film is about people, young people who have lived happily
and their behavior and dilemmas, abaut change their character and I think
that this film pretty well demonstrated those things. I also like the humorous
scenes inserted in the right places and time. On the downside the film
I can include the entire end of the film. From what I remember,
Robyn didn't kill anyone in the book, didn't take part in the action
on the bridge. A final transformation of the characters in warriors - complete
nonsense in American style! In book appeared at the end the withdrawal
and uncertainty, and I prefer this book ending.

Movie 43

November 03, 2014
Polish title: Movie 43

Man... it was so gross, so gross... I don't think I have much
more to say. I regret that I had to see Hugh Jackman in this, with these
balls at the neck, this sight will be haunt me!!!

Blended (2014)

November 12, 2014
Polish title: Rodzinne rewolucje (Family Revolutions)

I loved this couple from "50 First Dates". I expected
that here my admiration will even comparable. However, I was disappointed.
This movie was neither especially funny, nor particularly surprising,
was just average.

Jack and Jill (2011)

November 26, 2014
Polish title: Jack i Jill (Jack and Jill)

This movie was totally stupid, but I laughed many times.
In addition, my expectations from this genre aren't high.

Welcome to the Punch (2013)

November 27, 2014
Polish title: Czas zapłaty (Payment Time)

Maybe the movie wasn't great but I like it. I'm not a fan
of James McAvoy, but I have to admit that in this movie I like him more
than in any other that I've seen so far. Mark Strong had a perfect stone face,
Andrea Riseborough was very convincing. There was action, tension.

At Middleton (2013)

November 01, 2014
Polish title: Dzień w Middleton (Day In Middleton)

I decided to start the month with Farmiga sisters.
I really like to look at them. I hope that I will be able to watch
Taissa more soon. The film was quite interesting, it wasn't too sweet, ending rather of these which I like in the movies.

Deliver Us from Evil

November 28, 2014
Polish title: Zbaw nas ode złego (Deliver Us From Evil)

I don't know, I think that in the subject of exorcism
has been said already definitely a lot, and each subsequent movie
in this topic is no longer fresh and exciting. Here was a good start,
the connection criminal thread with the spiritual also quite interesting.
There were many moments that I was scared and the whole moving in
an interesting direction. And then it was the usual ritual of exorcism,
which was just unremarkable, despite the effects. A priest with the past
was also poor.

Despicable Me 2 (2013)

November 02, 2014
Polish title: Minionki rozrabiają (Minions Brawl)

The first part was sweet, here was pretty average.
Promising beginning, then it got a bit boring, but the end - phenomenal
and moving. Minions will not, unfortunately, my favorite characters.
Six stars for the whole.

Battle of the Year (2013)

November 18, 2014
Polish title: Bitwa roku (Battle of the Year)

I got exactly what I expected. I wanted to see this movie,
because formerly I often watched America's Best Dance Crew, I liked it,
and I still like from time to time to see the Jabbawockeez on stage.
I thought that this movie might interest me. Of course, the best actors were
dancers and the second half of the movie by far. My rating results from
the fact that the dance scenes were not enough, it was not enough excitement.
All the rest of the the movie it was standard bittersweet
and motivational speeches coach to his team's, discipline, discipline
and discipline, the ups and downs of some of the characters
in private life, their struggle with themselves, that is nothing new.
The least convincing issued unfortunately, Josh Holloway,
who seemed 'LOST' in the role of a man with a past, who likes to drink
too often, he was terribly unreliable. In addition, Josh Peck
and Caity Lotz... he annoyed me in Red Dawn, she annoys me in Arrow,
and together very irritated me here.

The Long, Hot Summer (1958)

November 11, 2014

I'm surprised, because I liked. Not much happened,
but I watched with interest. The young Paul Newman definitely hot.

The Lost Weekend (1945)

It was an interesting movie, but not as much as I expected.
