Film review - The Room

The Room is a movie which I cannot name the genre it is. It is exceptionally bad in every way a director can want a movie to be good. The director, the screenplay and the main character is Tommy Wiseau. The main plot is about the life of Johnny (Tommy Wiseau) and his beautiful fiancee Lisa (Juliette Danielle). Johnny has a good job, a wonderful house and a wife, but somehow he isn't happy. It's due to the manipulation of Lisa, which she masks with her innocent acts. Her mother, Claudette, suspects that Johnny hit her, which results in the movie best known scene on top of the apartament roof.

In my opinion this movie is god-awfully bad, but funny due to the terrible acting, image quality, etc. It has attracted a small group of "cultists" that revere the movie. I absolutely love this movie, but I would only recommend it to movie fans.

Film review - TANGLED

Tangled is an animated, comedy film directed by Nathan Greno and Byron Howard. It's produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures in 2010. It's inspired and based on the Brothers Grimm's fairy "Rapunzel". In original, english version, Mandy Moore is voice-acting the Rapunzel, Zachary Levi - Flynn Rider and Donna Murphy - Mother Gothel.

Tangled is about a young girl named Rapunzel, who's got very long and magical golden hair. She lives alone in a tower with small chameleon. Rapunzel's "mother" - Gothel is hiding her up in tower to "keep her safe and protect her", but she just wants to use girl's magical hair to be young and pretty. The problem is that when Rapunzel was a baby, Gothel take her from her real, royal family. Rapunzel doesn't know she's a princess and thinks that Gothel is her mother. Every year, in the evening Rapunzel sees from the tower thousands lanterns on the sky. That's because her real parents launch them every year, on Rapunzel's birthday, hoping that someone will find their daughter. Of course Rapunzel doesn't know it. Soon Flynn Rider - a thief, comes to the tower to hide from guardians. She makes a deal with him to help her get out of this tower and discover the secret of lanterns. They have crazy adventures together and during them they fall in love in each other. At the end of the film Flynn cuts Rapunzel's hair to save her from Gothel. By this, Gothel gets older in really fast time and dies by falling from tower. Then Rapunzel finds her real family and decides to marry Flynn.

Tangled is funny and beautifully animated film. Animation is amazing, marvellous and smooth. Rapunzel's hair looks just beautifull and it is really good simulated to react with enviroment. Voice actors are fitting to all characters. I think that this film has really interesting plot, and every Disney fan should see it.

Film review - LETTERS TO JULIET

Letters to Juliet is a romantic comedy film. It’s directed by Gary Winich.

After Sophie comes to Verona for holiday, she finds Juliet's house and she observes that women from all over the world hang their letters to Juliet on the wall of her house.

Sophie unexpectedly meets secretaries of Juliet who answer the letters. One day she discovers hidden in a hole of the wall, a letter from an English girl Claire Wyman which she wrote to Juliet 50 years ago. The letter is about Claire’s young Italian boyfriend who she left and regreted it very much.

Sophie joins the secretaries of Juliet and answers Clarie’s letter.

When Claire gets the answer, she goes to Italy with her grandson, Charlie. She hopes to find her love Lorenzo. Owing to her grandson she meets Sophie, who helps them.

But is the past worth looking for? Is it possible to find love when you’re old? Or is it any easier, when you’re young?

In the film you can expect a classic happy end and "yes" for all the questions.

Young actress Amanda Seyfried was very convincing and charming and because of wonderful pictures it is a movie for Italy-lovers I give the film four of five stars.

Film review "INCEPTION"

 Inception is a science fiction film made in 2010. It was directed by Christopher Nolan, who aslo wrote the script.

Leonardo DiCaprio as a Dom Cobb breaks into Robert Fischer's minds and, accompanied by Arthur (Joseph Gordon - Levitt) and Ariadne (Ellen Page), is trying to affect his toughts. Fischer is going to take over a big family company after his father, who is dying. Cobb blames himself for his wife's death. She appears in Robert's mind. It does not make the mission, which is already very difficult, easier. This is a huge problem for him but he still fights with it and wins.

Everyone, who stars in this movie does a very good job - the acting is marvellous. It is beautifully filmed. This is one of my favourite flims, but I think the plot is quite complicated which makes it difficult to understand.

Film review

Movie: Expendables 2 - Back for war

Main actors: Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Randy Couture, Terry Crews, Liam Hemsworth, Yu Nan, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Chuck Norris.

Age limit: Sixteen

Genre: Action and adventure

Violence, blood and revenge for a murdered friend.

If you want to see one of the best action films ever made you should definitely choose this one. In Expendables 2 you will see the best actors and an amazing storyline. The movie will take you into a wonderful journey through battles, trials and turmoil.

In the beginning Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone) gets an offer that he can't refuse. This offer comes from Churh (Bruce Willis). This job should be a piece of cake for Barney and his group - and it is nice and neat until everything goes wrong and one of their own men dies suddenly and very violently. 

Before nobody even notices the group is in the middle of huge problems. When the group signed up for the mission they weren't ready for that. The story is interesting and rather complicated; it keeps you awake every minute it takes. I could compare Expendables to Titanic. I mean that to me Expendables is as impressive as Titanic is to many others. 

This movie is definitely one of my favorites because the actors really know how to do their jobs and the movie effects are amazing!

I started to watch Expendables because I knew that Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis and Jason Statham would be in this movie. If I may suggest: watch the part one also! It's as amazing as the second one.

FAT THURSDAY

Fat Thursday"

Fat Thursday is a name of a traditional, old-Polish custom. It's the last Thursday of carnival - the Thursday before Ash Wednesday. On that day majority of Polish people like to eat fried cakes. Donuts and crispcakes are the most favourite.

Nowadays people rather rarely prepare self-made donuts at home. We can see everywhere long queue in front of cake shops, bakeries or groceries on that day. Everybody wants to buy many delicious donuts or crispcakes.

In Poland on Fat Thursday the more donuts you eat the better. Even there are a special competitions about eating donuts. For exemple "How many donuts are you able to eat in one minute?".

Everybody likes to celebrate that day together. People treat others to donuts everywhere, for exemple at school, at home, at work. It is the most appetizing tradition in whole year.
