Actually, I intended to write this post last night. I assumed that after this exhausting day (assignment, test, cinema) probably still much to be in high spirits, would like to go to bed. ... I'm wärhend the way home almost fell asleep and got the brief reviews wisely on today moved. Now I am even almost awake!
Mix half a day later: I should no longer post under time pressure - that leads to an exponential increase in typos .* g *
Always drama with Tamara
The trailers I have not seen . From the comments of the attending teens but I can assume that the film was sold rather in the style of an American high school comedy, cheap sex jokes included. In order for the film by Stephen Frears (the "The Queen") but not much to do. Tamara Drewe (Gemma Arterton) comes after years of absence from London back to her Home village to prepare the house for the sale of their parents. At that time she was the ugly duckling, but after a nose job she is now a real eye-catcher (the hot pants help too). Their return brings the rural village idyll of a totally beautiful - the already unfaithful selling author (Rogar Allam) wants to, the drummer of a popular rock band (Dominic Cooper) as well, and her childhood friend (Luke Evans) is indeed still there. Put it this way: At the end everyone gets what he deserves.
Frears delivers here a considerable satire about the oh-so-beautiful village setting and the depths of the inhabitants. Adultery, blasphemy land, lack of perspective - no character is really flawlessly. The most lasting impression probably the two teenage girls (Jessica Barden and Charlotte Christie), who are bored to death in this backwater where nothing happens and then bring in their youthful recklessness chaos to Tamara Drewe only really started rolling. This has even their mistakes and take wrong decisions, but is still a likeable person. Gemma Arterton I liked that very well in that role.
certainly not great art, but a pretty snappy, successful British comedy.
Burlesque
Let's put it this way: The Golden Globe nominations can be comfortable with it Declare that Burlesque the only musical was the last season and also Cher plays along. Which explains why the number sung by her, "You have not seen the last of me," the award for Best Song residents and "I see the light" from Rapunzel. The message of this song could have also put in two lines of dialogue ... Ali (Christina Aguilera) lives in a small town in Iowa and wants to finally get out there and on the big stage. So she runs away to Los Angeles and ends up looking for work in the Burlesque Lounge by Tess (Cher). Although the club has seen better days (and Tess is about to lose him because of high debts to the Bank), But Ali is fascinating. It may start as a waitress, and as the star of the show, Nikki (Kristen Bell), fails to step in she gets the chance. What course do not like to see Nikki. Ali is thanks to her great voice and sexy stage presence is the main attraction of the club and a rich customer base (Eric Dane) she intends to bring out great. But what will become of the club? And she finds the bartender Jack (Cam Gigandet) is not much more appealing?
The plot is predictable and of course you can check off the individual points of first things first on the list: Simple girl wants "more" - check. True mentor - check. Gets a chance - check. Emerges as a star - Check. Problems occur - check. Heart pain - check. Everything is good - check. And yet the film has managed to entertain me well. I'm not gone in because of the action - that would not just win the prize for originality was evident. * g * I wanted nice people in great numbers to see dance with cool songs, a bit of glitz and glamor, and I took that.
Christina Aguilera was so clever to seek a role where they have mainly to do what it does: singing and dancing. Otherwise, she seemed in her role but quite believable. The two men courting their favor to keep even wacker (now I know who "McDreamy" is, because that was the first reaction of my friend when Eric Dane made his appearance.) and offer the female audience as well as get to the eye (the men enough scantily clad ladies in Corsets and lace panties, the rich must), but the show steals Stanley Tucci as Tess' right hand. He gets the most laughs is simply nasty and lovable. * G *
The dance scenes are well staged (even if you are already wondering where the huge stage and the whole Requisten come at a time when Aguilera has her performances), the choreography takes especially like to borrow from Bob Fosse (the chair choreography of "Express" was nearly 1 to 1 "My Lord"), but sometimes I felt too to Jerome Robbins' choreography for Gipsy recalls. Looks great in any case and is captured by the camera well. Who could like such films as Coyote Ugly
, Center Stage or Step up is also Burlesque : Very simple.
The Green Hornet
A superhero movie that sometimes does not start in the summer, but our cold January einheizen wants something. Directed by Michel Gondry, the now rather more unusual by mainstream films like Remember my draws attention to himself. Strange choice. But as it turned out, a good one. Britt Reid (Seth Rogen) is the son of a newspaper mogul and now has a wild party life out. After the sudden death of his father, he will now take over the newspaper. This he does with very little enthusiasm, but still makes friends with the mechanic of his father, Kato (Jay Chou). He is not only an ace is to convert cars into real fortresses, he can also cook a great Kung Fu and excellent coffee. When the two thwart an attack, Britt decided that they could now act as a superhero - but not to be perceived by the public as a hero (that would be boring and the bad guys would let you know immediately that they the good guys are). Britt and Kato's activities, however, remain the big crime boss Chudnofsky (Christoph Waltz) is not hidden - they liked it not at all.
Seth Rogen appears only once as an inappropriate choice for a superhero. As Britt's just a normal guy with no special talents, however, Rogen again but somehow fits very well - in addition, Kato's so nice to them to build a car that could make even Batman jealous. Kato is basically the star of the film - he is the one who makes the bad guys flat, taking care of the technology, it is good in that. Especially nice is it when the Eifersüchtelein between Britt and Kato escalate more and more (also because both Britt's new secretary - played by Cameron Diaz - want to win for themselves).
Christoph Waltz is terrific as a gangster Chudnofsky that no one finds so really scary to think what it is, of course. Waltz also plays this villain, probably a Russian-born Austrian or so, with a certain portion of charm, which leads straight into a wild chase near the end to one of the best laughs of the film. And nice to know
confirms me afterwards: So this was actually James Franco in a Cameoauftritt! Very cool!
Optical makes The Green Hornet some ago, fast, entertaining fight scenes, nice effects, well employed 3D (only in the post-added and not overly spectacular, but - it does so after all), a tiny pinch of trash - and a very colorful and somewhat cool guy (the one must mention now just).
Very positive surprise - this superhero show I also like a sequel.
