Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

review: It is a very interesting thriller, (detective film) a mistery tale very well acted and told. For me, the most interesting thing about (graphic violence) this modern example of filmnoir is first of all its setting [adult situations] (a beautifully shot Stockholm and other locations across the Swedish countryside)and secondly (murder investigations) the good casting job behind the movie which is the main driving (dysfunctional families) force behind this succesful piece of enterteining. (missing persons) The low key performances contributes greatly for the sombre story (members of the press) to be perfectly credible. I strongly recommend you not to be put off by the unusual movie´s background. (amateur sleuths) It is highly entertaining.

Mother (Madeo)

review: Although the Korean titlea of this movie is (Madeo) simply the Hangul transliteration of 'mother,' the figure (Madeo) of mother in Korean culture is deep and strong. There is a Korean word 4 a strong mother, 'Adzuma.' (Madeo) An adzuma is a very strong figure who sacrifices herself for her family. (Madeo) Korean mothers wear this label with pride. (Madeo) Over dinner in Seoul, I shared this concept with my Mexican and Chinese companions. (Madeo) Immediately, our host, a strong litigator married to a judge, pronounced "I am adzuma." In this movie, the Madeo is adzuma taken to its limit.

Severe Clear

Mike Scotti was a First Lieutenant with the U.S. Marines when he and his outfit, the First Battalion, were sent (Lieutenant Mike Scotti) to Iraq as part of the American invasion forces in 2003. (Lieutenant Mike Scotti) Along with his weapons, Scotti brought a miniature digital video camera into battle, and he kept a record of what he and his fellow soldiers (Lt. Mike Scotti) saw as they traveled through hostile territory en route to Baghdad.(Lt. Mike Scotti) When Scotti returned from Iraq, he teamed up with filmmaker (Lt. Mike Scotti) Kristian Fraga to fashion his rough footage into a film, and the (Lt. Mike Scotti) documentary Severe Clear was the result. Scotti and Fraga have opted (Lt. Mike Scotti) not to make a political statement or a broadside for or against (Lt. Mike Scotti) the war; instead, Severe Clear offers a first person account (Lt. Mike Scotti) of the soldier's experience on the front lines of Iraq, a place of (Lt. Mike Scotti) constant danger where nothing can be predicted but the unexpected (Lt. Mike Scotti) and terror and excitement walk hand in hand. Severe Clear (Lt. Mike Scotti) was an official selection at the 2009 South By Southwest Film Festival.

The Secret of Kells

Follow 12-year-old Brendan (voice of Evan McGuire) (624×352) as he battles Vikings and confronts an ancient serpent (160 kb/s) god on a mission to locate a legendary crystal and complete the mythical (624×352) Book of Kells. Brendan lives in a heavily fortified medieval outpost known (xvid) as the Abbey of Kells, where the ongoing threat of Viking raids (1119 kb/s) causes the peaceful monks to live in a state of constant fear. (Fantasy Lands) Along with his uncle, Abbot Cellach, Brendan labors to (x264) fortify the abbey walls daily so his people will be protected from invading forces. (x264) When the mysterious Brother Aidan arrives at the abbey (x264) carrying an unfinished tome filled mystical secrets, Brendan becomes illuminated, (x264) and his dormant talents are awakened. The book must be (x264) finished, but accomplishing that mission will be no simple task. (x264) As the Vikings close in, Brendan ventures into the surrounding forest (x264) and prepares to confront his darkest fears. Accompanying (624×352) him on his dangerous mission is Aisling, a half-wolf/half-human (x264) fairy whose powers will help to guide Brendan through this enchanting yet dangerous new world.

The Secret In Their Eyes (El Secreto De Sus Ojos)

review: This film is about a man working in the (oscarwinner) Justice Department trying to find justice in a rape and murder case, even with lots (oscarwinner) of obstacles and after 25 years has passed.
"The Secret in Their Eyes" has a very well written plot. (oscarwinner) The story is told engagingly in an interwoven series of flashbacks and the present time, (oscarwinner) but it is never confusing. There are slow parts, and the constant dialog makes it hard for me to keep up (oscarwinner) with the subtitles. However, the plot is still told in an engaging manner, that makes viewers (oscarwinner) connect and sympathise with the characters' tragedy and the injustice behind it. (oscarwinner) The ending is very powerful, I find myself holding my breath for fear of missing any bit of information (oscarwinner) due to my breathing sound. It's that intense!

Director: Juan José Campanella

Fish Tank

goood: The performances alone are enough (Not For Children) to recommend this well crafted film with its unintended echoes (Sexual Situations) of Precious (without the melodrama) and An Education (without the glamour). (Not For Children) The director ably sustains the gritty portrait of a confused and angry adolescent living in an otherwise clichéd English urban blight. (Sexual Situations) I found it easy to overlook the obvious flaws —the (Profanity) trapped-animal imagery, the unlikely survival of a little girl—because (Sexual Situations)of the amazing performance of Kate Jarvis, evidently a newcomer (Profanity) without previous acting experience.

District 13: Ultimatum

review: B13 Ultimatum is simply a [adc] re-hash of the original B13, the latter merely serving as a stage 4 the incredible acrobatic [adc] stunts and action sequences [adc] displayed in the movie. But, [adc] the sequel is a bit of a let down as the stunts seem [adc] repetitive after the first flick.

Ajami

review: I had a bit of a problem with the [eflm] way you continually said “Arab, Jewish and Christian”. Arab is a race, not a religion, there are [eflm] Jewish Arabs and Christian Arabs. I believe what you meant to say was “Muslim, Jewish and Christian”, [eflm] or you probably meant how Arabs as a race are frequently [eflm] separated from the rest of the [eflm] population in that area of the world (Slingshot Hip Hop [eflm] shows an example of this as a cop [eflm] harasses a young man for speaking [eflm] Arabic on his cell phone to his mother). 7/10

Avatar Review

review: Avatar seriously made me [hbudg] wonder how far we can advance in film-making. It is probably the most [hbudg] breathtaking movie I'v ever seen. Have to start with the visuals. [hbudg] The CGI is incredible and you can definitely tell it is the most expensive film ever made. [hbudg] The world they create really makes you want to book your tickets to g...o there. [scfi] The love between the two main characters is good. [hbudg] The backstory is great, and the storyline progresses well. Some great acting, especially from [hbudg] the woman playing the female alien, using motion capture. It had its flaws. [hbudg] Most notably for me was a lot of cheesy and laughable dialogue.8/10

White Ribbon

Beautifully photographed and very well-acted, [oscar n.] "The White Ribbon", Haneke's latest movie, was simply [movieseed] too cold and remote 4 my taste. Despite some of the most beautiful B&W [oscar n.] cinematography you'll ever see, the movie comes across like half-baked Bergman. [oscar n.] Surprised that "The White Ribbon" won the Palme d'Or at Cannes over "Un Prophete", [oscar n.] which to me is a vastly superior movie. Haneke fans won't [oscar n.] be disappointed, though everyone else might find that "The White Ribbon" overstays its welcome.
