Source Code - 7.4
Source Code is a great sci-fi movie which explores travels on time and parallels realities through a very simple premise, but never ceasing to be puzzling and intriguing. The scriptwriter, Ben Ripley, doesn't make many ceremonies to quickly explore the pretext of the repetition of the narrative, discovering the mechanisms of the pump or by placing the characters off the train. Some parallel actions, such as the gun, end up having less potential, but they don't undermine the progress of the narrative. Too bad the ending is sugar water, that need to deliver a happy ending to leave the viewer satisfied at the end, which is not always necessary. It is still an above well average film, engaging, dynamic and efficient.
Hanna - 7.2/10
Joe Wright directs with great skill, like everything he does, but loses some of its dramatic essence, except in some scenes. Saoirse Ronan delivers a perfect performance, expected no less. The supporting cast bring the film very well, but the film is of Saoirse. The script wasn't good, but the film has an interesting story but lacked depth, which is the stronger of Joe. The film could have been better if there had been more footage, a further deepening in the character Hanna. When finishing the movie, I had the impression of watching a movie well directed, with a great soundtrack, brilliant performance (Saoirse), photo with some beautiful moments, but in the whole work becomes just watchable, doesn't let passion. I think the big mistake of the film is Joe having been away from what he does best: drama. It's not that dramas are better, but drama is the strength of Joe, and go to another field doesn't set the tone I needed. Movie valid, but so far away from the epics and forever loved "Pride and Prejudice" and "Atonement" that disappoints.
Scream 4 - 6.3/10
Pleasant surprise coming by from this. Scream 4 is the continuation of the franchise that best know how to relate to the original film through a script that manages to be creative, intelligent and fun most of the time. The opening sequence can now rival the great original film by making a joke of metalanguage in creative ways, something that the applicant in the franchise. Here the screenwriter Kevin Williamson can (de)construct a remake with new characters while giving prominence to the old characters, can play with the cliches of the genre, but can be stressful enough to function as suspense. In the collective ideas, those who work are more numerous than those who don't work so well (the character of the young man does not take off, after the sequence set in movie marathon, the film loses a bit of pace, an offer of passage in the hospital parking lot). But it's always interesting to see how the script can do can invent and reinvent themselves by recycling old ideas. Some dialogues are exquisite. The cast is good general, but the more experienced are more reliable choices. Relying once again with Wes Craven who knows very well what it does, Scream 4 works as both an homage, a parody and a reinvention of its proposal.
The Notebook - 7.3/10
Well, I am one of those romantic ... and I much prefer a romance to a romantic comedy (anytime!) then, so was predisposed to like the movie. Of course I heard much about it because it is the typical movie that when people talk about romance, someone mentions the conversation: "You like it? Have you seen The Notebook?" The story is too beautiful and the romantic cliches are all there (thankfully) because the novel is to be romantic, it is to have remarkable dialogues, is to have beautiful scenes, etc.. Not to mention how I cried during the 2-hour movie, it seems that nothing else matters but the happiness of two characters on television. It's over, and and I was still crying ten minutes more, nor could he comment on the scenes without thrill me again ... ahahah (I'm hopeless, I know). Those who like novels, have to see The Notebook (it took me to see, because I'm stupid). I have a list of novels to watch (or read), but I better take a break, because life without these cinematographic, would be depressing!
@Sunderland 4ever @jone631 I'm glad you both enjoy reading my reviews. Imma need to keep improving my critical skills so that I can be a chronicler/critic one day.
Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole - 7.0/10
The film honoured its role to dazzle. Its look is something without comparisons, a glimpse that summarizes the sublime in spectacular images that are governed by an almost uninterrupted soundtrack, a full concert in mid-film. Still wins points for not indulging in cuteness. The owls own movements which are extremely close to the real, only running it because of the inevitable movement of pacifiers (to speak). In fact, the motions "neck" of owls is what gives grace to the comic relief of the story, Digger, a little owl that is paired with an addiction to music with any issue that arises (Twilight). The movement of the camera is another goal that the team brand, making several slow shots and performing stunts that go and see with owls or switching focus or piggyback with them or focusing on the most impressive details such as drops of rain that clash against the realistic and expressive eyes or languages that can be seen when the owls are talking about the profile.
I ****ing LOVE Over The Hedge!!!!! Definitely in my top 10 favorite movies.
Also.. I'm seeing Bad Teacher this weekend. It looks too funny. It has decent reviews too and usually comedies get low reviews but this didn't get as much.
Neds - 6.6/10
Non-Educated Delinquents showed from the beginning till the end a fantastic dark film, the kind that does not offer any kind of hope time, its subject matter is extremely delicate and somewhat longer portrayed by countless other movies in a somewhat less delicate. Brings a dry course of a story with great significance in almost every frame. Chilling scenes with the protagonist's father and the insane notion of aggression and power of the teenager, teenage people in fact, that doesn't come nothing from life that follows. In long, all the time even when something bad happened I could not tell to the protagonist did not, but I was distressed by. With the progress of the film was showing through, which was totally unconventional, that it was no longer an option, was nature, was the time trial and most of the problems, like after wanting things to be as before.
I just saw Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (I'm watching all the movies for the first time. 4 down. 3 to go. )
I'd give it a 9/10. I really enjoyed it. So far my favorite has been Prisoner of Askaban, though.
Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules - 5.7
The eternal fight between brothers is something that may never have the solution. After all, the older one teases with the youngest or the youngest suffering in the hands of the older one? What really matters is that one day they will see the importance of real brothers. The second adaptation of the books/comics of Jeff Kinney, follows the same pace as the first, only takes a different focus. Instead of seeing how the friendship of children, now we see the relationship that Greg (Zachary Gordon) has with his brother Rodrick (Devon Bostick), by the way is very turbulent. The screenplay light and relaxed, serves for anyone to watch and have fun, even as a child movie content, but hindered by Greg at school or even at home are very identifiable, I mean, everyone has gone through something similar. The film depicts this relationship and family and friendship between older brothers and younger and all its ups and downs, as in the film is perhaps a little better to see. The script is simple even though some holes, and some things that leave the air ... Perhaps expectations for the next film, leaving more unanswered questions is always a danger, even more attentive to the eyes.

From 2003. Absolutely mind-blowing movie. Made in France and stars Marion Cotillard and her husband Guillaume Canet. Reminds me somehow of a campy romantic fairytale at first, but with a more serious tone that develops towards the end of the movie. Marion is stunning as always in it and delivers an astonishing performance. Guillaume Canet gives a solid performance and you can already see the tension between those two, even if they were not together at the time the movie was released. I really recommend it, but it's definitely not an easy movie to watch.
