Movie Review: The Constant Gardener

Long time no see! Yup, I am back or rather - I'll try and keep posting regularly as much as time will let me. Things have been a mess lately and it has been hard keeping up with life's pace itself, let alone finding time to write. But, now I have something juicy to write about, too. Since I'm completely done with all those cheesy romantic comedies, I've decided to do write a review on this one. I've decided to watch this movie simply because of two reasons: 1.) Ralph Fiennes (needless to say why, though I shall explain it to you with great enthusiasm: he is one of my favorite and one of the best actors there ever lived in my humble opinion) 2.) It's not a cheesy romantic comedy (like I've said before, I am finished with those). And I loved the movie for multiple reasons which you will get to know with in the next couple of paragraphs. I think I've always loved that kind of movies, but I end up watching the boring ones with hopeless romantic teenagers i...

K Is For Keith

This was one of the most intense, emotional and dramatic movies I've ever watched. And trust me - I watched A LOT of movies. The first thing that I have to especially emphasize here is what a great story line this movie has. It may seem like a cliche or a subject that really has nothing to do with life, but the matter of fact it does have a lot to do with life and what we experience in it. In the beginning, the story is focused on this young girl Natalie that is successful as in the school field as the tennis court. She is like one of those perfect girls that you're so jealous and envious of because they seem to have they life so organized. But the best thing in this movie is that it shows how you never know what someone has to go through, what battle they are fighting. The only thing we see is the surface and what people let us see. And the secret is that people don't let us in or close enough to let us see what's really behind all those successful stories, because fai...

The Last July Movie Review: Juno

This one's a bit special, innit? Well, it sure is one of those movies they make you think about life a bit. It's not necessarily bad, of course, but just has different point of view. And I like movies with different points of view, gripping plot and a good moral lesson. Not all movies possess that anymore. It is yet another teen movie (or at least about teens) and showing a lot how things go in high-school for Juno and all that, but I gotta say it surprised me in a very good way. I surely didn't expect such plot twist, good acting and unravelling of events. One of the many good qualities that this movie possess is definitely how things turn out in the end. It takes you by surprise on every step. It has a fun beginning and surely an ending that will bring tears in your eyes. Juno MacGuff is a seemingly extraordinary teen with a slightly inconvenient problem ahead of her. The movie begins with Juno taking the third pregnancy test so far and like they say, third time is the...

J Stands For: Julie & Julia

Based on two miraculous true stories about two women who had much more in common than just passion for cooking, the movie was a great representation of how no matter what you go through life, you should go after what truly makes you happy, even though if you might come across more than just one failure on the road. Like Julia Child herself said: "Find something you're passionate about and keep it tremendously interested in." What better advice can a person give? Coming from a person who has (sort of) already found her "thing", I can say that the key to success is keep doing the thing you are doing. I've got another great quote in store, this time from infamous Winston Churchill: "Success is not final, failure is not fatal. It's the courage to continue that counts." What great words, wouldn't you agree? Now, this whole movie was, clearly, about persuading yourself into doing the impossible, setting yourself a challenge. It's important t...

Second July Review: Jane Eyre

What an amazing, emotional movie. I didn't read the book though, which was written by Emily Bronte's sister, Charlotte Bronte, but the movie itself was already spoken in very difficult, old English language which can be hard for a non-natural speaker. Anyway, this movie doesn't even need words for a viewer to understand how much pain there is present and how complicated the whole situation was. The horrors that haunted poor Jane for whole her youth. The injustice and cruelty that were caused to her. Life was very difficult for a poor young girl back then and Jane had more than just a taste of it. Despite always being misunderstood, judged and seemingly guilty of every single thing, she kept her dignity, humility, respect and the one true fire within her. Not an easy job to be done, that's for sure. The past was Jane's greatest enemy. It never left her side. Even though she might seemed strong and somehow fearless on the outside, she had a sensitive and weak side, ...
