A selection of very different styles: from artsy dram-ody to raw muscle.
Beginners
Acting: 5/5
Story: 2/5
Perception: 3.5/5
Rating: 3.5/5
A sentimental movie crammed with soft moments. There are some subtle humorous fragments, but what got to me more were the 'lessons' to be taken out from the story; it is such a pity that the plot is so loose.
Cowboys & Aliens
Acting: 4/5
Story: 2.5/5
Perception: 3/5
Rating: 3/5
There is some wasted acting abilities and character potential in this movie. They had it all: the cast, the premises, the means...but somehow they didn't manage to create something more than just a quite predictable story with some choppy twists.
Our Idiot Brother
Acting: 3.5/5
Story: 3/5
Perception: 3/5
Rating: 3/5
a light positivist story revolving around a hyperbolic representation of naivety which involves one very out of the ordinary family. There are some funny moments, but less than I expected, and in the end it felt for me that it was more about the message than the humor.
Sur la Piste du Marsupilami
Acting: 4/5
Story: 4/5
Perception: 4.5/5
Rating: 4/5
Genuine Comedy, where logic has no place to be. Just bursts of pure laughter...
Margin Call
Acting: 4.5/5
Story: 3.5/5
Perception: 3/5
Rating: 3.5/5
The movie sketches an idea on how the 2008 crisis took off but the jargon is at times completely gibberish and the vulgarization too plain, so the actual fact felt unclear for me. Which was not the case for the very good performance delivered by the high-end cast.
La Source des Femmes
Acting: 5/5
Story: 4/5
Perception: 4/5
Rating: 4/5
a highly emotional and involving life-story, showing a perfect balance between the ups and downs of our daily existences. The universality of the message and the outstanding performances erase all cultural and language gaps.
Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol
Acting: 3.5/5
Story: 4/5
Perception: 3.5/5
Rating: 3.5/5
a good popcorn flick with enough twists to make you think it would never come to an end (which got a bit annoying in the last 15 minutes). The stunts and the effects are awesome, even though physics would veto some of them, not to mention the gadgets which are quite cool (which is a general spy movie feature) What I appreciated in particular is that there was no parallel cheesy romance story.
The Expendables
Acting: 2.5/5
Story: 3/5
Perception: 3.5/5
Rating: 3/5
a movie pumping with testosterone...the brain would not have anything to do for the entire length of it. In my opinion, props to the hand-to-hand combat scenes, and to Statham as the only source of charismatic wits.
The Avengers
Acting: 4/5
Story: 4.5/5
Perception: 5/5
Rating: 4.5/5
Pure awesomeness on a plate! It is the new icon for SFX-based superhero movies (Nolan's Batman falls under a different category). There is everything: a well structured plot, with various twists and a logical evolution, cool fights, a huge final showdown, no cheesiness and wits. One of my fears was that Stark is going to steal the show, and even though he may be the main source of entertainment, the others don't fall that much behind. A big screen must-see, 3D optional!
