Inception Movie Review

Have you ever imagined what it would be like to have a good idea for an invention that you could then sell the patent to make millions? All it would take is one. Well, if she did come up with a million dollar idea and someone decides they want to take from you enter into your subconscious and brain and extracting the idea or thought from you? This is precisely the premise of revolutionary and thought provoking movie from the beginning.

I posted the above definition of birth for you because if you're like me, you probably don't know what this word means or how it could possibly relate to this film. Well, not only is Dom Cobb, played exceptionally well by Leonardo DiCaprio, a thief, but in this film is given the task of birth or placing an idea in someone's mind, without them knowing it was not an original idea of their own. Sounds complicated, eh? Well it is not. The mind is a powerful thing. Perhaps the most powerful thing in the world and just imagine if people used more than ten percent most scientists say that we use daily. Now, think of dreams. Have never had a dream that seemed so real that wondered if it was really a dream if they really lived in the real world? So you could live your dreams with you what happens if you draw people in your dreams? This film takes place mostly in the mind and makes you think about things that can be created from the mind ethical, psychological and fantastic.

I saw this movie on Sunday and I'm still thinking about it and trying to wrap my head around everything that I saw. There are many movies that stay with you, hours, days or even weeks after you have seen them. How many times you can see a movie want to see again, only to carry it around and try to capture any clues or details that you might have missed? Like many filmmakers working today that doesn't dumb down their script or story just to make it easier for the public to understand what is happening? I, as a moviegoer, I want to go see movies that challenge me and make me think. I also want to see films that are completely original and show you things never seen before. This is that movie!

I can't really speak too much on specific because it is better to go in knowing nothing about the film. I can only say that this is definitely one of the top five films I've seen this year and maybe one of the best movies I've ever seen. This is a film where all participants are playing at the top of their game. By Christopher Nolan, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ellen Page, Ken Watanabe, Hans Zimmer, Marion Cotillard and Wally Pfister, each of them contributed to an almost perfect movie. I am confident that the Academy Awards remembers this film came the time of appointment. Do yourself a favor and check out this movie and see if you can stop thinking about it after you left. I can't wait to see it again and I wonder if this is what they wanted me to do all along.

Movie review-Legend (1986)

Legend

Starring Tom Cruise, Mia Sara, Tim Curry

Directed by Ridley Scott

Written by William Hjortsberg

The filmmakers behind the legend certainly know their legends. In 90 minutes short of hypnotic visual excess, they deliver a virtual compendium of the history of fantasy literature.

The genre in question is that of the heroic quest. In very schematic, the heroic search generally goes something like this: the natural balance between good and evil is tipped in favour of bad after some particularly nasty turn of events; our intrepid hero is subject to a series of adventures in which he (or, increasingly, you) of excruciating and his companions are growing in strength and wisdom; These adventures will culminate in a climactic battle between the forces of good and evil where good triumphs over evil and all is well in the world/country/Kingdom/city/village/shoebox once again.

The genus precedes Homer at least several millennia, and more recent examples abound. The search for the Holy Grail was certainly a heroic mission, like the wizard of Oz by Baum, the Lord of the rings Tolkien, ad infinitum.

The legend is yet another child, a child fully aware of its grand heritage. The specifics of the story are of little importance, but here are in any case, for the curious: the natural balance between light and dark is tipped in favour of the Lord of darkness (Tim Curry) after the Horn was cut off from one of two remaining in the world of unicorns; Jack O' The Green (Tom Cruise) is subject to a series of harrowing adventures in which he and his companions are growing in strength and wisdom; These adventures will culminate in a climactic battle for Horn and the future of the world, a battle between Jack and darkness where Jack triumphs over darkness and everything is good in the world once again.

You had to ask.

The entire film is sprinkled with subtle (and some not-so-subtle) tributes to past work in the field. There is a scene where Jack plunges into a river for a ring, recalling the discovery of a ring of Sauron from Deagol, friend of Gollum, in Middle-Earth Tolkien's great river. One of Jack is then saved from evil darkness kitchen after being constrained within a pie crust for cooking; Hansel and Gretel would definitely have sympathized with her plight. Towards the end of the image, true love by Jack, Lili (Mia Sara), it was awakened by a kiss in sleeping beauty. The entire film resonates with allusions to The Last Unicorn by Peter s. Beagle (as well as other accounts of those mythical beasts equestrian). Convincing parallels could draw between legend and Jim Henson fantasy feature, The Dark Crystal. And, well, you get the idea.

Vast magical unicorn, a central theme in legend, is a highly pervasive myth in most human cultures. Unicorns were known to the classical Greeks and Romans, and examples can be found in Christian, Jewish, Hindu and also ancient Chinese mythology. If they were cruel, vicious creatures originally and indomitable, unicorns became (at the beginning of the middle ages) kind symbols of Christ. The unicorns of the legend are like the latter, drawn by Lili's innocence and virginity. It is through this attraction, their mortal weakness, that the servants of the Lord of darkness are able to get the magic Horn.

But the plot is not strong suit of the legend. Far from it. Visual style is Virtuoso Director Ridley Scott who capture and enchant his audience in a way that can match a few movies. Scott the duellists, previous image, Alien and Blade Runner (visual masterpieces in their own right) were mere exercises for warm-up that he evokes images. There are images in the legend that take up permanent residence in your memory, haunting for years to come, are bedeviling with their bright colors, their delicate interplay of light and shadows. This film is so damn good to look that is almost frightening.

Why not make mistakes legend for a great movie, though, rest assured it is not Beautiful, Yes;. great, no. First of all, this movie is in desperate need of some intelligent spirit. Although screenwriter William Hjortsberg (Angelofalling) knows his imagination, his script is full of sophomoric humor. At one point, a goblin Gets the seat of his pants and dances around fried for a few seconds hilarious before dousing himself with water. Yuck, yuck. Cackle, cackle. Probably there is a scene of pie-in-the-face around somewhere on the cutting room floor as well.

The performances are all relevant, but as the Lord of darkness who shows Tim Curry. He plays his bad (a Minotaur of sorts, brilliantly created by Peter Robb-King and his crew makeup) with the charm and the fury. Tom Cruise makes a convincing but not particularly memorable, as the hermit in the forest, Jack. The rest of the cast moves the plot along without a hitch.

A few words are probably in order for the story of the legend itself. Originally intended as a summer ' 85 release, Universal balked at its high cost and competition (from smash, escape back to the future, no doubt). They then made the kind of thing I have tried with the cut of Gilliam: Brazil, more than two hours to about one and a half. The soundtrack by Jerry Goldsmith was thrown out in favor of one from Tangerine Dream. In general, universal (as always) never was quite sure what the hell he was doing.

Most of the changes seem to have done little damage to finished product. The shorter version, closer is probably best for his brevity, and the score really does not detract from the film's highly visceral appeal.

So what becomes a legend most? If you are curious to sneak a peek at this one. It's well worth the price, and could be in for a fascinating experience that won't soon forget.

Speed Racer-family movie review

Mama movie Rating: 3.5 of 5

Starring: Emile Hirsch, Christina Ricci, Matthew Fox, Susan Sarandon, John Goodman

Director: Larry Wachowski, Andy Wachowski

Duration: 2 hours 15 min.

MPAA Rating: PG for sequences of action violence, some language and brief smoking.

Genre: Comics, science fiction, sports

Speed Racer (Emile Hirsch) breathes, eats and lives of motor racing. With his trusty Mach 5, speed is at the top of his game, winning the race after race, and start getting noticed by sponsor. When he turns down the offer from big-time conglomerate Royalton Industries, professional racing speed learns that are controlled by the sponsors-also the results of the Grand Prix are fixed. Not only that, but takes his revenge Royalton on family business Racer, hoping to destroy them. In order to change how the game is played and save his family inheritance, speed must risk his life most fierce competitors in the race in the world-the same one that claimed the life of his older brother many years before.

I must admit, I wasn't too thrilled to see this movie. After that the Wachowski brothers for the Matrix sequels, I was sure if he could win back my admiration. But only ten minutes, I was turning my husband saying: "you know, I really like this so far." He agreed with me. And as the movie progressed, we found ourselves laughing, snatch, also repeated several times that the film was better than we expected.

The first thing to grab our attention was of course the bright color palette. The Wachowski brothers filmed almost all actors against a back-drop green screen, which then filled with an incredible world of color, excellent, stunning animation and cartoon film. Using techniques that are guaranteed to be anything you've ever seen on screen before. Now the bar has been raised for special effects.

Speed Racer is a thrill ride for anyone who loves comics, video games, racing or NASCAR, kung fu, gangster film or anime. It's almost like Mario Kart on the big screen. The scenes with Spritle (Paulie Litt) and Chim Chim (his trusty chimpanzees) really put in mind of a child and are really funny. The races are so spectacular that had a nice kids (and adults) in the audience shouts out, "Cool"!

If you've heard that reviews of the film bright colors and psychedelic effects make you nauseous or give you a headache, I am here to tell you that I received none. (Actually I have a raging headache from The Bourne Ultimatum last year with his constant jerky motion pictures-if your stomach that, then Speed Racer should be a problem.) The Wachowski brothers disbanded the racing scenes quite so you don't have a constant blur and there's enough plot going on outside the actual events that help maintain a nice rhythm.

PRO

The most touching part of the film is the heart to heart talks that Pops Racer (John Goodman) and Mom Racer (Susan Sarandon) share with their son, speed. The family unit is very strong and important in this film, and POPs and their mother be sure to encourage speed and tell him I love him.

Speed and his girlfriend, Trixie (Christina Ricci), have an admirable ratio, both making good role models for our children. There is no Kiss until the end, speed is a perfect gentleman around her and their relationship involves doing more than just off as other couples teen movie. Trixie supports and encourages the speed does not matter what without being manipulating. They spend a lot of time with his family, and in essence, she was a part of the family since grade school. There is an underlying theme that Pops Racer married his best friend, and it seems that the speed is following in the footsteps of the same-a great lesson for young men in the audience.

Another theme of the film is standing for what is right, even if you think you don't have a chance. Speed Racer, going against the great magnates of industry ran is sort of the story of David and Goliath. The lesson is: money and greed comes anywhere, but he does love and family.

Finally, some critics have said that the movie is not faithful to life-personally, I'm glad it isn't! I think that if they were not provided for by that apparent comic book or video game world, children would be more inclined to imitate the bizarre things that they see on the screen.

CONS

Here are some things that parents should be aware before they venture theatres:

There are some comics/gangster-as violent as Piranha bite out of some frightening chases someone's finger and lots of action shoot-em-up.

As the rating of PG, I'm a little disappointed by the content of crude was allowed to slip by. There are a handful of words curse, even young Spritle someone gives the middle finger and an opponent to run all called "assholes". Chim Chim throws his own excrement at one point, and gets kicked an opponent in the groin (both received thunderous laughter from children in the audience).

There is also a fair bit of sensuality in the film. I was hoping a PG film should include racing stigma "hot babes and cars", but unfortunately, the Wachowski brothers thought that they had to throw it. There are several angles sensual, some women wear shorts indecent and very low cut tops and at one point, a woman wearing what appears to be a swimsuit steps ahead, resulting in a half-naked ass cheek by filling an important part of the screen. The film would have been better without these unnecessary distractions.

Part of the plot involves the stock market, which could be over the heads of children, but you should understand the general idea played. And the film jumps back and forth between the past, present and future-this also might be difficult for some younger viewers to follow.

OVERALL

In my personal opinion, this movie should really be rated PG-13. Had a material much more unpleasant than Nim's Island, which recently was rated the same. Having said that, here is a word of advice: go to the theatre with an open mind. Just might be surprised at how love this flick.
