1.
Inception (Christopher Nolan brings his unique vision to the screen with the help
of a star-studded cast, including the likes of Leonardo DiCaprio (The
Departed), Joseph Gordon-Levitt (500 Days Of Summer), Ellen Page
(Juno), Marion Cotillard (Public Enemies), Cillian Murphy (Batman
Begins), and Michael Caine (The Dark Knight), as well some amazing
photography by long time collaborator Wally Pfister. The thrilling
music in the film is provided by none other than Hans Zimmer, who was
also set the mood for Nolan's previous film, The Dark Knight.
While it may seem simple at its outset, Inception is an extremely
complex film, delving deep into the subconscious of the human mind.
Technical brilliance and visual splendor have rarely blended together
as beautifully. The emotional depth and explosive action complement
each other perfectly, delivering a film that is at the same time both
heart- wrenching and heart-pounding.)
2.
Ice Age (Basically this should be the last Ice Age, but it won't. The characters
have been reduced to stereotypes of their previous personalities,
nothing feels at stake in this movie, the best moments are in the
trailer, and plot has been sacrificed to showcase the vaunted 3D
animation. Jaws 3 did the same thing, except I cared enough to see the
next person get eaten. This didn't make me care in the slightest.)
3.
Midnight in Paris (Welcome to the world of Woody Allen as he has always loved it:
nostalgic, romantic, imperfect, and full of hope.I have been a fan of Woody Allen for long time and seen all his movies,
those that he made, and those in which he starred or only wrote the
screenplay for. I look forward to each of his films and I am ready to
love them before I even see them. I knew I would like Midnight in
Paris, but I had no idea how good it was. From the first frame,
following the Darius Khondji's camera on such familiar but uniquely
beautiful streets, alleys, boulevards and quays of the City of Light,
it was hard not to fall in love with Paris and with the film of Allen,
his love letter to the most famous city in the world, capital of love
and Mecca for writers, artists, musicians and artists to whom Paris
gave inspiration during all times and epochs - Belle Époque 1890s, the
Golden days of the 1920s, and today, right now...)
4. Milk (I highly recommend that you watch Milk, this film was extremely moving
and really makes you think before you say something stupid because
someone else is different from you, not just sexually, but in general.
It really breaks your heart to see how hard it must be for people who
are different to express themselves and to be rejected by society. Sean
plays Harvey with the love and compassion that the real Harvey would
respect. We also have some terrific supporting actors: James Franco,
Josh Brolin, Emile Hirsch, Diego Luna and Victor Garber. Milk was one
of the best films of 2008, watch it, learn from it, and remember: do
onto others as you would do onto yourself.)
