Wheels (2014)
Great Movie
I really enjoyed this movie. It probably didn't get a lot of buzz because no one in it is famous. But I thought it was great. Better than the other stuff out there on Netflix for sure.
Kako los son (2003)
Between trauma and dream
Everyone who is occupied with the exploration of the destinies of the "broken structures", created by war traumas, at the same time is engaged in research of the possible destiny of the modern globalization, in regard to looking at the outcome of the struggle between two drives, Eros and Thanatos. The film "LIKE A BAD DREAM" and its author Antonio Mitrikeski create an original artistic contribution to discovering and asking for answers to these serious questions.
In this film are interwoven dream and reality of the main characters, who are presented as prisoners in "the games of the others". Those games are turned around in the hermetic world consisted of forced roles, with two extremes: at the one side is "the victim" and at the other "the despot". The reality has no way out and becomes hopeless, and the dream is the only one defense mechanism which tries to keep the existence of the goodness in the characters, despite of domination of the delusional compulsive repetition of the violence. There are presented clearly "splitting" and "as if" phenomenon, as a common state of mind of the "broken structures". At the same time, the environment strongly supports the choice of the already installed pathological roles, created through the so-called "inversion with the aggressor" defense mechanism, as well as "identity diffusion syndrome" and a remarkable perversion of the Libido.
At the moment when it seems that trauma is even stronger than dream, that is when Thanatos has defeated Eros, the author offers original actions, as possible solutions of the presented situation. He puts the older character, the Seitan, into the position of confrontation with the hopelessness of "compulsive repetition" which happens to him and his inability to resolve it on integrative way. Furthermore, that position arises in the character the spontaneous decision to close the circle of the destructive impulsivity, enacting the scene of "sacrifice the Devil inside", that is the scene which can be called "The death of the Death". In such a way, the life ends "like a bad dream", but reality is released to arise again the faith in the power of Eros. The younger character, Ivan, doesn't allow himself to enter the circulusvitiosus of the "inversion with the aggressor". He is being punished for that with violence and sexual abuse, made by the representatives of the "Brave New World". That sacrifice is presented as a temporary one, as a bill from the learning about the illusions of the new world, as well as the experience which furthermore is completed in strengthening of the decision to sustain himself on the way of authentic individuation.
So, the film finishes not as an elegy for the Balkans and the "Balkanians", but as a terrifying vision about the Global World. Of course, unless it's main creators succeed to confront themselves with their "Devil". From there, finally, everything originates.
Adios Vaya Con Dios (2014)
Fresh storyline and powerful performances.
We trail lead nominated actor and writer Zachary Laoutides, Rory King, over his journey to bounce town only to have his friend Eloy get released from prison, flinging his strategies of getaway to the wind. Zachary Laoutides gives a nearly silent performance at times; we see his distress walking through the dangerous streets concluded by his despondent face. I speculated why his performance was reserved, but it makes sense, as urban cities tend to become the recluse havens where gangs become ones voice. Rory King being half Mexican with an Irish last name adds to his trauma.
Marius Iliescu playing the Olmec gang leader Tiger as well as his young brother, Bones, played my Emmanuel Isaac show the insanity of gang allegiances. Something Rory King is trying to escape. The movie is shot artistically, from Timothy J. Aguado's swapping from black and white, to his raw shots of Rory's burning off his tattoos. The film impressions are dated belonging in the late 70's or early 80's, a foreign grouping with Spanish narration throughout the movie. To his acclaim Zachary Laoutides' writing keeps a rapidity that never gets dull moving us artistically from one scene to the next by way of music video mixtures, to serious situations with very serious repercussions.
The film seems to hint another chapter, which may be the methodology of what Zachary Laoutides is trying to achieve, the survival rate for the main characters appear at good odds, their larger then life one-liners and intricate development look like they can stick around for yet another phase.
The World's Most Relaxing Film (2015)
Probably the most relax film in ever
This is a sort film about world's most relaxing film, it will make your relax in just 7 minutes. It is created based on stress, mindfulness, nature, sea, trees, green field and quite music. This film was made in different location in Denmark.
I really appreciate to this film's director Kristoffer Kiorboe and Fleming Holm. They are always creating different. Believe it or not, I was more impressed with the casting location and natural places. In this film I not found even a single moment is dull. In fact every location in this film is different. Everyone should to see this film and if possible to go those place for relaxing.
I hope everybody enjoy this film as much as I did. I'll be seeing it again when I fill boring. It is really refreshment and enjoyable film.
Waterfall 1: No Words, No Sex, Just Relax (2014)
I feel I'm standing in front of the water
This DVD has many wonderful waterfalls as the title implies. If you're into nature as much as I am for the relaxation and therapy it gives, you got a nice movie right here. There are soothing scenes of waterfalls with just the sound of the water. It really does take you away from the all day chaos. You feel like you're standing in front of the water because it is filmed from these beautiful angels.
I was a skeptical about the relaxing DVD, but I thought that I try this one. My wife and I really like it. We run it during the day on our big TV and it is a pleasure to glance over as we pass by the TV. It is a so brilliant DVD that it makes you stop and sit and watch it and then, without even knowing it you are just relaxing and you didn't know for how long.
It is seriously an excellent, relaxing DVD.
Titanic (1997)
One of the great movie ever my seen.
It is a normal love story with a bit action. I personally think it is way to over hyped. I bet it is because it is based on a real story. Everyone loves it and they say that it is such a beautiful movie but I honestly don't think so. I mean it is okay but it really does not deserve the hype it got now. When it came out maybe, okay I give it that.
But not now. It just got boring because you know what happens even before you ever saw it, you just know it because you have to.
But it got the girls on it's side, I'll give it that. When can live thru a boring movie for a girl, do it.
21 Jump Street (2012)
Very Comedy, I See It.
I didn't want to rent it because I'm not a huge fan of Channing Tatum. But, I rented it anyway and this movie is hilarious. I laughed hard, like, very hard. There were no boring moments, and it was an easy plot to follow. I even liked Channing Tatum in this movie a lot. This movie was such a surprise to be honest. They took all the stereotypical setups for jokes, and completely turned them around. Very funny flick.
Another good scene is when they have the play and Channing and Jonah have that fight. I just wouldn't recommend younger kids to watch. It can be very inappropriate and they wouldn't understand what the movie is about. Other then that this movie is a must see!!
The Last Song (2010)
Not Bad I enjoy.
This is a good movie if you want to have a good time with you Girlfriend or your crush. Even tho it is a love movie like anyone else it is some what enjoyable to watch for the male gender too. The main character is played by Miley Cyrus, before she was how she is now. She was actually a decent actress back then. Not the Hannah Montana kind of actress, I mean a decent serious actress.
The plot is okay, the has to go to her dad, she did not saw him for years and hates him. Dad is ill, she likes him now. She get to know a boy and they fall a love. Then a happy end. It is standard and predictable. BUT most girls like that kind of stuff so its a good movie to cuddle to.
Saw III (2006)
I enjoy it.
There aren't many movies that can make me squirm in my seat and make me look away. This is one of those few movies that made me squirm. The gruesome torture scenes are creative and original, and the effects, what they do to make us believe that all this might just be real because it looks like it is just brilliant. If you think the director has run out of trap ideas, believe me when I tell you that there are plenty of traps that caused horror movie fanatics to cringe when it comes into play.
It is has much gore, more than the other SAW movies. If you can't see too graphical stuff than don't watch this movie, if you like this kind of stuff than this movie could be something for you.
Wreck-It Ralph (2012)
I enjoy to see this movie
Being raised in the age of Atari, Pac-Man and Nintendo, I was more excited than my kids to watch this movie. I took the chance when my kids said they wanted to see the movie. I was not disappointed. It was a great movie and it has an awesome soundtrack which I had to buy. This is a movie for little and big. It has great humor for everybody and an emotional story too.
It even has the curses that where made cute so kids would not hear them. I have to say, you should watch this movie if you want to have a good time with your kids, wife, girl or boyfriend, mum, dad or just anyone else.
Spider-Man (2002)
One of the great movie ever my seen.
I was never a comic book kid growing up. But this is the film that turned me around on Comic-Book- Movies. It's hard to believe that this film is 12 years old now, and that Comic Book movies are the most blockbusters these days. Even tho this film is a little dated, it holds up great with other movies, even compared with the newest films out there.
This is a great movie, it tells the story at a nice pace, and there is also something interesting to look at on screen, from the swooping camera angles, to the action and the love scenes. The movie Spider-Man is with a lot of fun for everyone.
