American Hustle

What can I say......

Well..... Lets just say that I was not at the edge of my seat and happy I didn't pay a 

cinema ticket to see it.

Where do I begin? Lets start with the styling and capturing of the 70's.

 This was actually one of the film's srong points with good costumes and setting.

Another great part was the transformation of Christian Baile which was excellent as well as the styling of Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence. Really looked as they where in the 70's. 

As far as Amy Adams goes.......

I heard she is nominated for an oscar-well let me just say anyone wearing those tops without having their boobs pop out does deserve an oscar-it is damn hard-although this might have their way to drive attention away from the slooooow story with no surprises.

Even if the had been better it would have been difficult to notice the talent and story 

with the tops Adams was wearing-more provoking than if she hadn't been wearing anything on top.

Im pretty sure actually that women in the 70's didnt go out in the middle of the day with their boobs ready to play pick a boo!

I actually got bored after a point the film felt it was going slow, no surprises, no action no particular humour, it seemed mediocre. What made a difference was Lawrence's performance, she stood out and should have had a bigger part in my opinion, bigger than Adams's. I found the scenes Lawrence was in the most interesting.

Blue Jasmine

Blue Jasmine for me was a funny film but not the kind that makes you giggle or go laughing hysterically.
From what I have heard from people they either love or hate Woody Allen films usually there is not in between feeling.

Im not a big fan or follower of his films but this was a pleasant film to watch, there are points which you can sense what you are watching is a Woody Allen film mostly when the conversations take place.

What was of most interest in this film was Cate Blanchett's performance.
Outstanding performance but with moderation, no overacting. Trully makes you believe she is the character she is playing.

The other cast which is carefully chosen feels to fit in just perfectly as well.

As far as the story goes, this is a film which does cleverly touch sensitive issues between a married coupple, relationships between two sisters and ethical issues.
Serious issues are the set of this film but have been presented in a non- depresive way.

For me it is a pleasant film to watch but if you are strongly averted by Woody Allens work then maybe you will not enjoy it as much. Deffinitely worth watching because of Blanchett's performance.

The call

Now this film somehow managed to get not that good of reviews and
rating on imbd is only 6.7 at the moment for me though it is a great film to watch.
To be honest it is the type of film I like anyway - psychological thriller but even so, it
wasn't just the type that made me like this film.

I must say Halle Berry does not offer any special kind of performance.
She dfeffinitely isn't the one responsible for keeping you interested with her performance.
Even so, the scenes keep you focused and you don't get bored at any part.

I must say it has been a while since I saw a film which made me unable to look anywhere else but the screen!
Of course this is subjective - but it does keep you onm the edge
thinking that any momment now it is will end-this takes you right to the end of the film.

There are a couple of part which may be considered as predictable but nothing so bad it will ruin the film and make you lose interest.

Now even though Halle Berry's performance isn't anything special, the other case for me is great. Very convincing and promising acting tyo watch out for the future.

I would deffinitelly recomment it, a short film, not even  1 hour and 30 mins but nice for a night in!
