Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014) Review


Hello guys and welcome back to Movie Reviews! Today it's ape time again with the second entry in the rebooted franchise, which I liked a bit more than the first one because it amps the emotional and quality of this series. Matt Reeves takes the reigns from Rupert Wyatt and does an amazing job. The character of Caesar that was introduced in the first movie gets more exposition and more screen time. The main theme of the movie is family and we see a correlation between Caesar and Malcolm because both of them want to protect their family, so that link between them and the goodness that resides into Malcolm's soul and his family reignites that trust for humans that Caesar lost in the first movie. And there is another correlation between Caesar and Koba, who are complete opposites. Caesar saw that humans can be good but Koba saw only the worst part of what humans are and that is why he turns on Caesar. And to see that dynamic unfold between these three characters is amazing. The character development that was already excellent in the first movie is elevated in this one. And that is why I like this one a bit more. Another great beginning, which, and this in only my opinion, is in contrast with the beginning of the first movie, when the apes where the hunted. Here is reversed. And that plays out throughout the movie, apes being the hunters and humans being the hunted. So smart and so subtle the script is, the story is expertly connected and told, the action is amazing and the performances are, once again, top notch. The apes are the main focus in this movie, humans being side lined but still important to the story. One thing that bothered me was that we did not find out what happened to Will. A small hint and I would have been satisfied. A wonderful movie, with amazing characters and an emotional story about family, sacrifice and protecting your own. 9/10

OK guys, that is my review for today. Tomorrow will be "War for the Planet of the Apes" and maybe the Tim Burton movie, as a bonus. Until then, take care and keep on reviewing!

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
