Queen of Katwe (2016) Review


Hello guys and welcome back to Movie Reviews! Today is sports drama based on true events. So, everybody knows that Disney knows how to do animation but they also know how to do sports movies based on true events and people. Another example of this kind of movie is "A Million Dollar Arm" from 2014 with John Hamm. This one is based on a real life story of a teenage girl by the name of Phiona Mutesi, played brilliantly by newcomer Madinga Nalwanga. Although it has the cliches of any sports drama, with the underdog story, the movie is elevated by extraordinary performances from Lupita Nyong'o and David Oyelowo, very good storytelling by director Mira Nair, brilliant execution and writing. Last year I saw another good movie about chess that was based on a true story and that was "Pawn Sacrifice" with Tobey Maguire. But that movie had a darker tone when this one has a lighter tone and it is a feel good movie. The way the director presents the harsh living conditions in Uganda and how this girl managed to rise up and look towards the future with a happy face is amazing. Just how I said that "Premium Rush" is the ultimate cycling movie this one is the ultimate chess movie. Perfect for chess enthusiasts. 9.2/10

 All right guys, that is all for today. Tune in tomorrow because I'm posting reviews for "Imperium" and "A Monster Calls". Have a nice day!

In The Mood For Love Movie Review

In the Mood for Love(O iubire imposibilă-2000)-Regia:Kar Wai Wong Comentariu:Filmul “In the Mood for Love” regizat de către Kar Wai Wong este un film frumos şi mai ales poetic. Ȋn ceea ce priveşte acţiunea nu este foarte ofertant, dar compensează în domeniul stărilor şi emoţiilor pe care acest film vrea să le suprindă. Filmul prezintă o anumită lentoare şi repetitivitate a scenelor, de la mişcările personajelor la curgerea timpului. Este o dramă neaşteptată, plină de-o emoţie şi-o culoare deosebită, iar puterea filmului vine din tensiunea acumulată pe parcurs stingându-se în scorbura unui copac, unde bărbatul îşi lasă toate amintirile. Cele două personaje nu au măsura timpului iar iubirea lor îi menţine într-o stare atemporală, vraja neputând fi ruptă decât prin prefacere sau negare, aceste lucruri ducând la o despărţire totală. Ȋn concluzie filmul merită văzut dar e nevoie de-o răbdare şi-o sensibilitate enormă pentru a te adapta acelui ritm şi a trece dincolo de coaja lucrur

Remembering Carrie Fisher (1956 - 2016)

Carrie Fisher Tribute Man, this year, 2016, continues to deliver us untimely deaths of celebrities and,  tuesday, we find out that Carrie Fisher has passed away. A very sad moment, especially for those who grow up with her and the Star Wars movies. Of course, her most memorable role was Princess Leia in the Star Wars saga but she was also a true activist, humanitarian and writer. This is just the worst and I can't believe she has left this world. It is a shocking news and I still can't believed it. R.I.P. Carrie Fisher, you will be missed.

Wind River (2017) Movie Review

Wind River (2017) Review Hello guys and welcome back to Movie Talks with Tudor! For today, I have prepared three new reviews for three movies, one was good and the other two not so much. So let's start with the good one and I mean this one, of course. If you have seen "Sicario" and "Hell or High Water" and you enjoy watching those movies you will certainly enjoy this one as well. And it is based on real events so it has that reality based element, which is going to make you appreciate this movie even more. It's smartly written, beautifully executed, with the environment playing a big part in inducing the viewer into the chilling atmosphere of the story. It's dramatic, filled with emotions, suspense and thrills and it will keep you invested from beginning to end. It has a fast pace and, although it has it slower moments, it does not get boring. On the contrary, it becomes more interesting. Love the cast, great cast and, of course, great performances
