Bangkok Dangerous (2008)
Enjoyable with flaws
Bangkok Dangerous is enjoyable with flaws.
I liked the Bangkok scenes, although they depict Bangkok a little too dark than in reality. I think its a very sweet city, of course dense and polluted, but still cosy.
Flaws... well, in the beginning, why does the 'dispensable boy' say good bye in Russian since he is Czech?
Also cage thanks in Thai by using the female way.. kophun khaa, instead of kophun krup or however it should be spelled... no idea why American movies always do such obvious flaws.
Anyway, the story was alright, predictable of course, but still fun to watch... I guess I just like Cage as an actor overall....
Obchod na korze (1965)
so real
This movie is deeply emotional and moving. Depicting a moral fight of Tono, an average citizen. Tono finds himself in an internal struggle between the moral right and evil. The last hour of the movie is full of pain, hatred, terror and psychological suffering of the Slovak citizen during the times of Jewish deportation. It's so real that it makes you live through the struggle Tono faces. Should he save the old Jewish lady or not? It's surely one of the best, if not the best, Slovak movies ever made. P.S. To all those thinking this is a Czech movie, it's not. It's more Slovak than you'd think. Of course at the time it was CzechoSlovak cinematography. But actors in this movie are Slovak and the language is Slovak. :)
The Perfect Score (2004)
Sux A** Test indeed
I went to see this movie not expecting much. I was however nicely surprised. Although it was very predictable, most comedies are. Nevertheless this movie pointed to the fact I fully agree with. Standardized Tests are in no way any representation of one's knowledge or potential. They are just means to create a unreal ranking amongst kids. SATs are furthermore stressful and very de-motivating for students. One who succeeds on a SAT often gets far too carried away and then just does average. The Perfect Score nicely pointed it out, and with its teenage humor it amused me well. It's not about who you are, the SAT is about who you'll be. That's an unfortunate reality :))
Devcátko (2002)
Makes you think
I enjoyed the movie. In fact I enjoy movies that make you think. Devcatko was one of these movies indeed. You had to go deep into thought to figure out what it is really about. On the cover it seemed like a very dull and boring movie, however its purpose was to enlighten you with thought. It nicely portrayed the difficulty of finding happiness for mane central Europeans which is often caused by single parent family roots where a mother lives miserable life which affects the daughter who realising this, tries to help out her mother, however, unfortunately eventually ending up just the same. The filming was great quality, camera work was excellent, and the soundtracks were just great. I give it 7 / 10.
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003)
Breathtaking...
What a better way to conclude this amazing trilogy with a breathtaking finale. I have never felt such an real experience of fantasy as in the case of the LOTR trilogy. After having watched this finale it took a few days to realize that it was just a fantasy. The Frodo-Sam relationship was just so well played that I felt their friction and love. The battles were unbelievably exciting that at times I felt that my own life was at sake. Althoug the story was over a few days, to me it felt real-time. The film cast simply brought a master piece of art onto screens and did it with elaborate precision. After reading the books everyone had their own images of how it all looks, but I was so surprised to see in general how the movie was similar to how I thought it all out in my mind. This trilogy and especially this finale is certainly a multiple-watch movie, better said, a master piece!
