The Merchant of Venice (2004)

Slow and little trivial narration, but it's always a great story and Pacino's always a great actor (...read more)
Aira's rating:


Too glamorous - it's almost plastic - and absurd scenes. The whole story doesn't work (...read more)

Greenberg (2010)

Pretending to be philosophical but it doesn't go deep enough. Characters can only express boredom and depression (...read more)

Gothika (2003)

Ordinary script with ordinary direction. A failed copy of some asian horrors. And I didn't like Halle Berry acting (...read more)

Aira's rating:

Che bella giornata (2011)

Very stupid. It didn't make me laugh at all. And it's not a small thing for a comedy :) (...read more in English and Italian)
Aira's rating:


The same lame old story, but beautifully told. Great filmmaking and great acting by Natalie Portman.

Extremely violent (or just realist?), it's a good journey into yakuza war strategies (...read more)

Qualunquemente (2011)

It's almost a documentary about the Italian modern politics :D
The unbelievable thing is that in Italy we have some politicians able to make Cetto La Qualunque look like a boy scout [link]

original title: Mou gaan dou

A great script and an energetic direction for a movie that catched me and kept me holding my breath all the way to the end. Good performances by the main actors (...read more)

original title: Mayonaka no Yaji-san Kita-san

It's a kind of musical, horror, crime, human drama and comedy. But I also discovered a great road movie about the importance of imagination to overcome a painful reality (...read more)

March

Nice scenes, beautiful colors but a big fault: it's not able to express the real soul (the missing soul) of Grenouille, making him too rational and almost trascendental while he was and animal who acted by instinct [link]
Aira's rating:

Burlesque (2010)

Banal volgar. To see this kind of things another Christina Aguilera video was enough (,,,read more)

Aira's rating:

original title: El secreto de sus ojos

The story of a man who never forgot a case of murder and rape and ends up undercovering a terrible secret, a perfect revenge. Great direction that created a fine noir atmosphere and some memorable scenes, like the man chase at the stadium [link]

Zatôichi: The Last (2010)

Boooring film. It has nothing to do with Kitano Takeshi's "Zatoichi". Too bad, because Katori Shingo is a good actor but in this film was totally idle [link]


Aira's rating:

Legion (2010)

A bad copy of "The Prophecy". I really don't understand why Paul Bettany makes this... ehm... kind of movies (...read more)

Aira's rating:


A lot of violence and finally that's all. And Keira Knightley's presence was useless. (...read more)

Norwegian Wood (2010)
original title: Noruwei no Mori

The movie is not indipendent from the novel, and that's too bad. But actors' performances were great, even if I missed "Storm Trooper" (...read more)
