Blackadder Goes Forth (1989)
Laughing loud to all heroes, victims, dead, invalids and raped women
I admit, that I was young boy, age 15 when I watched BLACKADDER GOES FORTH. At that age, I found it very funny and great. But, I didn't know at that age what really was WWI. Shame on me.But the fresh start of this trend to spit on ourselves began in 1982 with Allo Allo TV Series (when we all Laughing loud to all heroes, victims, dead, invalids and raped women of WW2).Anyone who lost someone in WW1 or WW2 should not laugh on suffering and pain of all who participate in this wars. First, any war, especially WW1 and WW2 are everything but NOT comic and funny. I am afraid that people already forgot how frightful and disaster were those two world wars, how many people died... And for what they died. To be laugh? To made comedy about heroism and sacrifice? Did any soldier gave his or her life for nothing? Just ti be disaster today?? When I see today how rated are this 2 (noncence TV series) 8,9 and 8,4 I think they all died for nothing, for OBLIVION. I will put now by side WHY this 2 TV series did not made Germans or Austrians or Hungarians. I respect them because they got dignity and the respect their casualties of war, their victims, their soldiers. GER, AUT, HUN, JAP maybe lost the war BUT they did not lost the brain. Let me ask You, all of you, my dear friends from IMDb one simple question: What ordinary people will realize when they watched this Blackadder Goes Four (1989) shall we say 100,200, 300 years from now? This is opposite of my feelings and respect which I have to Allied Armies (UK, AUS, FRA, USA, SRB, GRE,... and all others). Ordinary man in 2115 or 2215 or 2315 (for example) WILL SEE British SOLDIER in 1914-1918 as: stupid, brainwash, sheep for slaughterhouse, moron who follows every order and die for nothing, naive soldier who don't understand why is he at the front, for what purpose. British officers will be seen 100, 200, 300 years after today like: cowards, chair warmers, madmen who loves to sent their British soldier to guaranteed death. The truth is very simple: many officers died side by side with their soldiers. They attacked together, they died together. The fought for our better future, for liberty, for free Europe, for EU today we got. I am proud that British, French, Serbian and Greek soldiers fought together at Thessaloniki border line in Nort Greece. And They break through front line in 14. Sep 1918. On 30.September Bulgaria drop weapons and capitulate. On 26.October Turkey capitulate. This front is also known as Macedonian or Salonica front line. Center Power were GER and BUL army versus UNITED KINGDOM or GREAT Britain army, France, Greek and Serbian forces with also some ITA and RUS forces. 50.000 Alied soldiers gave their lives, 60.000 Central power soldiers were killed or captured! Did they fight and died to be laugh by us in 1989 or 1999 or 2015 or anytime??? WAR is not COMEDY. War is blood, death, poor, sorrow, sadness, lost, broken lives and destroyed families. War is definitely what we saw in Blackadder 4 or Allo Allo. If you ever come to Tessaloniki PLESE visit (Allied Military Cemetery) Zeitenlik. 7.565 Serbian, 8.000 French, 3.000 Italians, 2.000 British soldiers and 400 Russian soldiers died in Macedonian Front. Is anybody laughing now? Any funny? Are you enjoy in comedy?
Edge of Tomorrow (2014)
Movie is 10, but End of Movie is -5 so 5 Stars
Movie is really GREAT, act is OK, effects OK but ENDING is not logical. Tom is dead and infected with alien blood, everything is RESET but he wake up, aliens are defeated but all buddies and Emily are ALIVE. If we ignore that OK but when he will be dead he WILL WAKE UP on that WINNING DAY -Day of Victory again, and again and again... TOM and EMILY should BE DEAD and WAR is OVER. They should be heroes. MOVIE at all is 10 stars but END is ... not good, so 5 stars will be fair at the end. At the end I recommended this movie for watching. At least Emily was really beautiful but cold as Britania island. :) I wish more than one single kiss with Tom because it is the war and love is all they need to survive. :)
Comet (2014)
Best movie made in 2014 - Must watch this movie
P.S.I will try to avoid any spoiler in the text below, but just in case I put the warning about spoilers.
This is one of the greatest movies made ever. I highly recommended everyone to watch this magnificent movie. Why? These are the reasons why you should watch this movie: 1.Sam Esmail is writer of this story and also director of this movie (this is not fast made commercial movie) and this is one masterpiece in literature and film art. This is not usually superficial story. This is deep, very emotional, layered, instructive story about love, errors and human feelings. If you for example rewind your life, than you will at most remember the things you could but you didn't (from some reason) did it. The message is: please choose very carefully your steps in your life and you will not regret for anything. 2.the best couple of actors are chosen for this movie: one of the most beautiful, charming and talented actress today EMMY ROSSUM. You will see several types of Emmy in this movie. She is like Sun, she shines in every scene. This is the best her role ever! Thank you Emmy for your existence and your talent and your internal beauty. JUSTIN LONG - all the same I can tell for him, the best role ever for him too. He is brilliant, funny, serious, sharp,... Great job Justin.I really enjoy in many Justin's and Emmy's movies but believe me - this is the top of their acting until now. The main reason - brilliant story = brilliant movie. 3.I really enjoyed first time after a long time watching this movie. It's just like Woody Alen best movies type. Dialogues are really great, funny, unpredictable,... you just start laughing suddenly because you don't expect some things. This is movie is just like old shoe: warm, comfortable and reliable. At the end - I hope you will spend 91 minutes watching this unique movie like I did. But please watch very carefully every scene. It's like mosaic story. And the first and the last in this movie is very, very important. Ps.from 2000 so far only 2 movies (in this category) were pure gold with 10 stars - SEVEN POUNDS (2008) and this one - COMET (2014). Greetings for all from sunny Greece! :)
The Truth About Emanuel (2013)
Waste of time, energy and money
At first I thought that this is one sick mental illness movie. Mother "got" the child and no one see that? Come on people... In USA I assume that babysitting is one old and cultural aspect of living. OK. I came to the house but all I get is talkie-walkie ??? Plese, how you can buy this crap? First, introducing with a baby or a child, than keeping that baby or child. OK, mother is in trauma but they still giving fresh milk to the doll. The title should be "Mad Mum Story". Second, Emanuel is living in the past with very bad and dangerous thought that she killed her own mother. Jesus, please don't me make be a father like Emanuel's father - distant and phlegmatic man who open and reopen soul wounds in his daughter.Kaya Scodelario was great in acting but script was totally bad. What is the message here? If you got mental sick woman/mother in neighborhood please ignore all symptoms and act or pretend that the doll is a living child. And you will solved all problems. This problem should be treated by some expert for mental illness not a young girl who works i pharmacy store. I really sympathize with this great pain - when mother loose her child (because my mother went throw all that with my twin brother/ I survive but he died after one month after the birth). Plese, do not play with mother feelings in this way. 5 stars because actors did they job but script is disaster unfortunately. :( If you like to lose oneself in the most beautiful eyes ever (of Kaya Scodelario eyes) - this is your movie and please don't missed it. :)
Love at the Christmas Table (2012)
Average movie - the story how to waste your life chances in Love
Love is chemistry. You love or not some person. If ordinary people act like this the humanity would be lost for good. You love someone and year after year you missed your chances to say 3 words - I love you??? Please, in real world, you got one maybe two chances to say that to person you love and to find out what she or he thinks about it. 3 chances if you are very very lucky. In real world, when you miss your chance, you get punished. Your Love is in relationship (or marriage) with someone else, with 1,2,3,4 kids around. Your Love is lost forever. But in some movies like this, miracles are possible. Damica was great and charismatic like always. Great job Danica. The other crew were quite OK. This movie is not master piece but is worth for looking in pair by romantic odor candles and romantic ambient around. I wish that I saw how young and handsome man is fighting for his one and only true love. Maybe I missed something here. Salut for everyone! :)
The Maze Runner (2014)
Great expectations - Big disappointment
Franchise movie, part one of a hundred until last cent in the pocket. This movie is pointless, bad story, without end, funny weapons, bad script,... The movie for public under 10 year old. Jesus, all is wrong in this movie: the maze is under the same Sun but like in the other Universe, all guys are clean and haircut, story is stupid and pointless, there is no end at the end. This story could last at least next five to ten years. My main motive for watching this movie was young, beautiful and talented Kaya Scodelario. I expect her as the main girl role but - she got only few sentences in the role and lot of running cadres. I really don't know why super talented actors like her wasted their time, talent and energy in bad and forward lost projects like this. Plese Kaya, next time just read storyline and please say NO to movie like this. What is better: to have 10-50 magnificent, brilliant roles in your life or 1000 pointless and worthless roles in movie disaster like this one. :( I always wonder who choose that: actor or his/her manager. For me - this movie only one (1) star deserves. Please avoid this movie in a long circle. :)
Syrup (2013)
Great movie - Must watch movie
This is one really refreshing movie with very good actors, very good/real story in the sea of bad movies in last few years. Of course, I couldn't forgive some things like Shiloh's character but all men are not the same. It is the fact that people can be manipulated in many ways - in this case is shopping, marketing and ads. Amber Heard did a great job, one of her best roles until now. She is beautiful in many ways and show us how girl or woman can be different at home, at office, ... Scenes were great, color full and dynamic. Shiloh Fernandez and Amber Heard are one and only choice for 2 main roles. And 10 stars is because - at the and you aspect sweet Hollywood end but you don't get what you expect. My recommendation for all my dear IMDb fans, visitors, writers and readers - this movie is MUST WATCH movie. Greeting for everyone and HAPPY NEW 2015 YEAR to ALL. :)
The Physician (2013)
Good idea, superficial story, bad realization
First, why 4 stars: for set design, for acting and for idea. Tom Payne was brilliant and he done absolutely everything that this movie looks better. He is very charming young actor (10 years younger version of Jude Law). Emma Rigby did a great job too (also 10 younger version of Rachael Leigh Cook in this movie). Idea was good but what was wrong: spoken language, superficially knowing of religion and cultural aspects. Put yourself at the position of main actor. What you would do to achieve your goal??? But, I must give fourth (4) star for old idea - science against extremely religions in the world and theirs unilaterally point of the view. Man is man and religions were fighting for new clients. Man is good or bad, no matter is he Christian, Muslim or Jew. This movie is one more step in a good direction. People must stand together for the same cause: respect the differences, make good, quality and healthy life for everyone in the World. At least this movie is worth to watch. It is one of the good movies in 2014. Enjoy!
