Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk (2016) Review


Hello guys and welcome back to Movie Reviews! So I'm gonna say a few words about this movie that wants a type of wartime drama but unfortunately it fails. Let's be honest, the movie is not that bad and definitely it's not the worst that Ang Lee has done ("Hulk" movie anyone?). But, judging by his last movie, which was "Life of Pi", a visually and emotionally stunning movie, this one falls a bit short. Yes, it's goals are noble but the execution of the story is what lowers the quality of the movie. The movie is split in three pieces, the army tour, the coming home part and the television tour, which at times can be a bit to much and confusing. I would have liked to see more scenes from the army tour, which were funny and intense. It is based on a novel with the same name written by Ben Fountain. It has some strong performances, it's always nice to see Chris Tucker again. He is like an endangered specie. You see him so rarely these days. Another note about the acting, Garrett Hedlund man, he is a way better actor that he is giving credit for. All of the actors were excellent including Joe Alwyn. The movie has some stunning imagery but often those effects distract you from the story. With a better script, this movie would have much better than it is. Like I said, the movie is not that bad but the execution is flawed. 7/10

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)

Imagine
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
