Is anybody there?

I rented this movie because I really admired Michael Caine's work. Even though his performance was not disappointing, the overall movie was. The plot has been very exploited and this movie added nothing more to it except Caine's good acting. It was a predictable and forgettable movie.

Easy Virtue

This movie is entertaining enough, but not really memorable. I think the Jessica Biel carried out most of the movie. The other characters were all to bland to care about them. I also think the ending felt too weak, there was no sense of real closure.

The mother

I definitely see this movie bothering a lot of people. It is disturbing when we think about our parents sexual life, so imagine thinking about our grandparents having sex with someone half their age. I think that this movie is well developed and accomplishes it purpose. I can see it challenging a lot of people's morals, but I think its main point is to show that relationships are not perfect, and that even if we would like to think that old people do not have desires and passions that is not true. I think that more disturbing than watching Daniel Craig having sex with a granny, what really bothered me was the fact that a mother could compete with her own daughter for a man. And such a screwed up man, whit no taste, personality or any attractive appeal but the fact that he would have sex with anything that moves.

Trainspotting

Of course this is a shocking movie. It is about heroin addicts, so it has really strong and tough scenes. Apart from that, the characters are really pathetic but the acting makes them lovable. I also enjoyed the unexpected and cruel humor. Laughing at something so sad as drug addiction might be very unforgivable for some, but the truth is that real life would even make jokes out of the toughest situations. This the second movie I really enjoyed from Director Danny Boyle and Actor Ewan MacGregor.

The Professional

This movie is terrific in the depiction of the most lovable hit man ever. I just cant help but remember this movie with a lot of affection for Leon. I also liked the way this two characters got to depend on each other, because they had absolutely no one else in the world to rely on. They were the strangest couple ever, and even though some criticized this movie because it was too violent to include a 12 year old in it, I have to say again that I am sure there are a lot of kids who actually are surrounded by a violent environment. So, out with the moralistic view of those who think that the world is a perfect bubble where bad things don't happen to good and innocent people just because they have not happened to them. This is a movie about those who are completely lonely and find comfort in the strangest places. I also think that Gary Oldman's performance as the buy guy is just great. You get to hate him so much as the representative of the law and order side as you get to love Reno as a member of the criminal side. Great movie for me.
