Emmauksen tiellä (2001)
Fun musical and comedy
This movie is unbelievable!!! Excellent and so weird but that only makes it funny. Foreigners might only see the weird parts but I saw the funny ones also and this became one of my favorite movies.. This movie is partly about making a movie, actors might comment on their lines like: "Now it's my turn, oh now I remember what I'm supposed to say here." and then they go back to acting.. Some characters have the script with them and they read it now and then... That might sound lame but the actors are funny and talented so they make you laugh..
Puntti Valtonen plays arrogant and annoying businessman. He goes back to the place he grew up. He is trying to sort his life but people there don't like him much... Story involves singing, cursing and "drama"...
Lotta Lehtikari and Peter Franzén are quite hilarious... Lotta Lehtikaris character wants to became a celebrity.. She also tells, that she's planning on going to the TV and show her breasts.... Franzéns character is mad about Lehtikaris character and sings in a silly way... And speaks also in a silly way.. Character is silly.... You could say he's a bit crazy... And as the Finns might express it, he's a "kylähullu"...
Story has many clichés in it but it is the purpose of the movie. I recommend this...
Uuno Turhapuro armeijan leivissä (1984)
Uuno- again
I'm pretty sure, that Uuno- movies are not made to be very intelligent and that's OK (Pertti Pasanen wasn't so modern person, so modern people might not like this at all). This film is just pretty frustrating once in a while... Uuno's wife (Raita) goes to army because her husband is too lazy to do so... And there you go, you have a movie. Of course Uuno is trying to impress all the ladies that he meets but that's pretty disgusting and boring. It's funny and I used to love this movie as a child, but that's all.
Although this movie isn't very good, it can be pretty entertaining. Maybe foreigners don't understand the quality of the humor of Uuno, but... This is quite old movie, so I think it isn't made for abroad. This is Finland for Finns..
The Basketball Diaries (1995)
Drugs, sex, and darkness
I watched this movie when I was something like 13 years old(too young obviously..) I was shocked but impressed. My sister was a Leo- fan, so she bought this on VHS. She also had Leo's movies like Titanic, Romeo+Julie etc. and I thought DiCaprio was nothing but a pretty face. But now it seemed he really could act.
I think this movie is in a way like Trainspotting. You almost vomit during the film and are kind of sad after wards. I know I cried an felt sick watching this..
If you have seen this film, you probably will not became an addict... This film is very true and shocking. Although Jim Carrol(Leo's character) survives, this movie makes you want to kill the person who invented drugs..
This movie contains sexual abusing, drugs and sex, but youngsters should see this, so they could see that drugs really aren't nice thing or something cool.
Beyond Borders (2003)
Jolie or not, this isn't good
This movie really made me angry. I like Angelina Jolie(a LOT), but this just freaked me out. Although the movie was trying to be critical and objective it was just boring. Oh the drama! Helping poor and sick people is so noble... This movie wasn't about being an eye-opener, it was something else.
Maybe this film was about making Jolie look a good person. That was my first thought after watching this movie. That underestimates viewers' intelligence. I didn't like this at all, Jolie seemed such a drama queen in this... Clive Owen was ridiculous and make me laugh. His character Nick Callahan was trying to be a rebel and a helper but instead he was a clown, couldn't help myself, I laughed.
Dark Harbor (1998)
Different....
I think this movie is different apart from most films I've seen. It was exciting in a way, and no matter what others say, I say, I was surprised about the final solution. Certainly didn't see it coming!! Although it's sad, it's worth watching.. I can't think of any movie that would be like this! Actors knew what they were doing. If you say this movie sucks, you say probably what most people would say. But, if someone says that this movie is ordinary, I absolutely don't agree. And Norman Reedus should be more noticed.
Maybe I'm freak but I liked this very much. It was kind of mess, but who cares? I'm tired of boring and ordinary movies.
