Nanjing Heroes is a lame title. The Flowers Of War is far better. The movie is decent...Great music, acting, visuals,etc but it's really long with not much going on which = boring AND it's far too melodramatic. 6.5/10
I STILL think Zach Snyder is a good director DESPITE this extremely messy film. This movies premise has so much promise in it and could have been made into something amazing...unfortunately, Snyder is a horrible writer. The movie is all over the place and the actors who are for the most part really cringe-worthy make it even worse. The visuals and action sequences are no doubt amazing but due to underdeveloped characters and plot, everything feels so...dull. I mean halfway in the movie you could see that there was some sort of promise in the movie as the movie TRIES to tackle certain dark themes but fails. I loved Snyders "Watchmen" and thought he did an awesome job handling the dark themes about humanity and all but none of that is evident in this movie. I did personally think that the last quarter of the movie was quite decent but that still doesn't help make this any good. I hope Nolan did the right thing in choosing Snyder to make the next superman movie...as Snyder has proved that he knows how to make a good movie if you give him a good story with Watchmen.
Just watched Our Idiot Brother. This is easily one of my favourite films of this year. It's exactly what I've been needing, A light hearted comedy that speaks the truth about life. I LOVE Paul Rudd and he's as good as he always is in this movie. There are parts where you will kinda feel bad for his character, who isn't the smartest guy on the block yet this is one of those movies that you just cannot stop smiling because it's so damn charming. Sure the ending was slightly cheesy and it does tend to feel uneven in certain scenes but still It's a really good movie that I reccomend to all of you.
Watched Green Lantern(2011). What the fuck was this...I mean it wasn't a HORRIBLE film but it wasn't a good one either...it wasn't even alright. I don't really know what I thought of this. I mean it had a pretty cool last battle and SOME of the CGI looked kinda cool but most of the movie was just..meh. Character development? I could not find much of it. The movie had a lot of parts where the CGI looked pretty bad..like worse then the ones in Xmen Origins:wolverine. I mean I for some strange reason was actually able to watch the whole movie with out being annoyed for most of the part but it was like, just me watching my TV as some colorful stuff go on it. The tone was weird as fuck. I don't even want to talk about this movie anymore. You know what...this is officially the first BAD film that I have seen this whole year. Yep.
Watched American Pie 2. It was WAY better then the first. Yes it had plenty of disgusting jokes but it also had plenty of HILARIOUS moments. It was actually pretty heartfelt for a movie about a bunch of guys who want to have a good summer full of alcohol and sex. By the way, Jason Biggs seriously looks like adam sandler lol. But yeah, it's a good fun movie :)
Finally watched Captain America: The First Avenger. I liked it. It's got a nice retro vibe and old fashioned direction with wonderful visuals. I mean DAMN, Chris Evans body transformation before and after was flawless..but yeah. It's got a set of nice performances mainly Chris Evans. Action scenes are awesome .Direction flows nicely and embraces a certain cheesy side that somehow is not cringe worthy. Flaws are many. I disliked Hugo Weaving as the Red Skull..He was just very...cliched and boring. The film lacked proper characterization which is something I felt Thor was much better at. I mean the film went by VERY fast. It was entertaining but I felt certain things such as Steve Rogers and the struggles of his life before actually getting the powers could have had more depth,etc. The ending is a bit anti-climatic. I mostly blame it on the poor characterization...BUT I enjoyed it.
Watched Apocalypto. I was REALLY surprised at how much I actually enjoyed this movie. It is easily one of Mel Gibsons best films ever. You could say this is Pocahontas Origins:the Natives. I thought I would dislike this film due to the first couple stupid scenes the movie has but as it goes a long you understand what Mel is trying to reveal to the audience. It is one epic,sad,realistic and bloody examination of an entire civilization. I loved the fact that the whole movie features the actors all speaking in Mayan language with english subtitles as it really makes this film realistic.Yes it is a very gory film with the first half being an examination of the civilization and the second half is the civilization being destroyed and all you witness is literally nothing BUT just watching tons and tons of people dying and the one man who survives to make a change. I would most definitely call that the flaw of the movie BUT everything else is flawless..in my opinion at least. I could go on and on about this movie but yeah..watch it! It is a really good movie.
I appreciated Murugadoss for his originality and honesty in a society where originality fails to exist(kollywood). The film is REALLY long,not that great editing,questionable logic,unneeded songs,etc BUT the movies cast,action scenes,mash up of history,science,religion,etc all make this film a good movie by a brave director. I really appreciated his messages that were evident all throughout. 7/10
