Captain Fantastic

While I’m writing this text the music from the movie plays at a background. A music that was played at the end of the story, Guns N’ Roses — Sweet Child O’ Mine, and by listening to it you start to feel yourself peacefully. How would I describe “Captain Fantastic” in one word?! Without a doubt the word is – kindness.
Charismatic characters, wonderful kids, great music and a good story stands at the head of the plot. This film wonderfully represents the family values and a curious view to the upbringing of children.

I have a personal list of “Kind movies” that I usually recommend to my close friends to cheer up, and “Captain Fantastic” is now there for sure, in my top five list of kind and good movies)

Arrival

Denis Villeneuve — the kind of Directors, which is so unexpected that already scary. He started his career back in the 90s, but him name became known only in 2013: masterpiece “Prisoners” (2013), brain-endurance “Enemy” (2013), mind-crushing “Sicario” (2015), and “Arrival” (2016). The measured exquisite narrative of the film is very professional, that by the middle of the film you will wander side by side with the main characters. Villeneuve is very scrupulous to details, and by that details he creates an atmosphere that makes you worry and feel the things that are happening on the screen.

And the sound of the movie is a separate topic. The alien speech and soundtrack of Jóhann Jóhannsson is a mixture of evil, lethality and horror. Design of aliens is delight. There is so much that I want to say, but I am afraid to ruin your viewing. In short, trust me – you have to watch the movie!

A Quiet Place

Main success of any horror movie is in its characters. And in my humble opinion, I just want to note that this is a completely perfect movie. I haven’t mentioned any second of sagging, there is no extra needless scene, no illogical solution or idiocy. This is a verified, carefully thought out right to the last detail thriller, in which the SOUNDS play a major role.

According to the plot, around the earth people are getting killed by monsters, swift and invulnerable. Their hearing is very sharp and they attack anything that makes a little noise. An American family are hiding from monsters in a country house. Its forbidden to talk and make any loud sounds here. But in family where there are three young children its difficult to keep quiet, ant make no noise. And from here everything starts. You will be afraid to make any noise yourself, because the film’s atmosphere makes you will so.

Wonder Woman (2017)

I gotta say – worse than “Man of Steel”, but better than all the rest DC movies. A great balance between “very bad” and “good super heroics.” The story with cast is pretty much the same as Heath Ledger’s. When he was declared as a Joker, the Internet was negatively configured. But see what we got now. And pretty much the same thing happened to Gal Gadot. She was branded for lack of forms. But again, we all know the result. Ledger – best Joker, Gal – PERFECT Wonder Woman.

To conclude, there is only two options. Or you hate the movie or you just enjoying the Gadot as a Wonder Woman, the humor, action scenes and soundtrack. As one of DC’s movie WW is a total WIN. But in comparison with Marvel is still not enough. But I really hope, that in the nearest time DC will uncover the success formula of Marvel universe.

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse

The best thing that ever happened to Spider-Man on big screens. Absolutely amazing surprise! Yeah, film has a classic “Becoming a Hero” thing, however the usual pattern is broken. If the “uncle Ben” always has to die at the end of the first act, that gives two thirds half of the movie to enjoy the action, in “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” the crucial point and acceptance of the hero about new himself, occurs nearly at the end of the movie.

From the dramaturgy point of view, this is the more effective way to capture the viewer. That is why seemingly a trivial story about becoming a hero and accepting your responsibilities breathes with fresh breath. And it helps this tricky reception that in addition to miles Morales, we still have Peter Parker.

Spectacular picture, perfect humor with picturesque characters, which will make you love them even in a small amount of screen time you have time. The quality of creativity and the amount of details, the exact components which makes all the sincerity of any film that is created. Music generally lives its own life — as a separate character.

The Nice Guys


Shane Black
is a great man. Film fans around the world were waiting for him to take over directing. What is there left to say? Film’s the atmosphere reveals us back to the luxurious period of 70-80th. But with the only difference, details. Details in this movie are much more resourceful, than the things that could be afforded 30 years ago. That’s what makes Shane Black so great. He’s not just writing a fascinating story with cool dialogues, he also works through hundreds of details, until he realizes that he full filled every scene of the script with life. The Elevator scene is brilliant. Falling into the pool is GOLD. Broken glass is hysterical.

There are bunch of jokes and moments that I want to discuss about, but I can’t. Its impossible, and the text won’t be enough. But damn, Shane Black came back and showed who’s the king of the witty dialogue and charismatic characters in the Hollywood.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

The review of the “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2”. Its the shouts of delight and magnificent scenes, from which the whole hall of audiences burst into applause. There are so many great jokes that would make every person on this planet laugh. The action is SOOOO good, so the film has no competition in the part of diversity of the action.


Film has a good antagonist and the plot itself. The director could manage to create a tension and strain that is soo needed to Marvel Cinematic Universe. There is even a meme about it – we all understand that Disney won’t allow to kill the main heroes, but you still sit and worry about them, about the heroes. And thats what I call a great script and great Director’s work. Thank you, James Gunn!

Mission: Impossible — Fallout

About good movies want to write a lot. I have heard some negative reviews about the film from my friends, and all I can — is that I feel grief for those individuals who couldn’t see the excellent spy thriller — the genre that is not dead yet, but not so popular nowadays.

“Mission: Impossible— Fallout” is not only full of computer graphics, no. It also is a true old-fashioned film attraction, that focuses on a good story, surprising plot twists, a funny ironic scenes, a great cast and a freaking good Director.

It is not a movie that will turn your soul inside out or leave a deep mark inside you, but it in the way it should be.

And in the case If you didn’t like the movie, ask yourself a question — aren’t you forgotten how to have fun from the movies, in which the concept of “fun” is not determined by jokes every ten minutes, but it set by the scope and action, shot by people, who are not aiming just to get a high revenues from the movie, but also by whose, who loves their jobs.

Mummy (1999)

In 1999, there was a boom of cult movies, like: The Matrix, Star Wars: Episode I, and the Mummy — films that changed the film industry forever. That was the first time when world saw the scale and power of computer graphics.
Hamunaptra! Anksunamun! Imhotep! How many memories in these… “Mummy” is forever in my heart. “Mummy” might seen very naive, but we love it for details, scenes, dialogues and CHARACTERS.

I don’t have enough words to list everything that makes me fell happy when I review this movie.
“Mummy” is John Goldsmith’s music, which stays forever in the memory.

“Mummy” — the most favorite and lively characters.

“Mummy” is funny and spectacular!

“The mummy” is my childhood forever!

“The mummy” — love!

Rick and Morty (2 season)

Recently revised downward the second season of this remarkable, incredible series “Rick and Morthy”. Traditionally, I won’t forget to mention, that the animation series is given to me very hard and not every animated series can keep my attention. However, this series is an exception. Warning those ones who haven’t seen it, anything I can tell you is that, you should. The humor and creativity is very powerful and unique thing here. Moviegoers will be delighted, as there are a lot of movie references and parodies to pop culture. Second season had raised the part of the genius even higher.

Especially I liked that the creators evaded to the general plot, so we had a very strong ending to the song “Hurt” by Trent Reznor.
