Here's my newest idea for the blog: movies that I've watched recently in the theaters that are either worth seeing or worth asking for your money back at the end of the screening. I won't go into details, specially because I'm not a big spoiler fan, and this is not a proper review (something that I'll leave for Thrusdays) but I'll be leaving tips for anyone who passes by and wonders what's hot and what's not at the show right now (more specifically in Brazil, but I'll try to be as "worldly" as I can!).
What's HOT: 2 Days in Paris (2007) - ***
What's HOT: 2 Days in Paris (2007) - ***
Julie Delpy wrote and directed this sincere spontaneous movie starring herself and Adam Goldberg as a couple that on their travel through Europe come to stay for two days in Paris, where the girl's family is from. I don't even have to say that by the look of the movie you'll think immediately of Before Sunset, and you won't be all wrong, because this is the style that Delpy seems to have mastered: the neurotic french woman. All in all is a good movie, with some enlightening monologues and diologues, that will make you laugh, cry and think through. At least for me that's what happened!
What's NOT: Jumper (2008) - *
As a friend of mine described it: "It is Samuel L. Jackson running after Anakin, with perfomances by Billy Elliot and Sumer, from The O.C." But I tend to disagree, a little! First, I have to admit that I'm a Star Wars fan. Second: Billy Elliot is an Amazing movie, with an incredible perfomance by a young Jamie Bell, who by the way proved to be a good actor in the movie Hallam Foe (David Mackenzie). Third: err, let's leave it at that!
The first 15 minutes are okay. I'll admit I never thought this could be something more than a fun entertaining movie with some good action sequences. But far from it! It's Barbie and Ken on screen proclaiming their love through one dull diologue from one of the worst scripts of the year! If I gave this movie one star is because there are some good special effects, and that's about it. If I could I would have asked for my money back. This is one movie that I'll gladly erase from my momorie as soon as I finish this post.
And I guess this is it for today! I'll be back with my reviews and some more of "What's hot, and What's not"!
That's a wrap, my friends!

Sobre o "Deux jours à Paris" eu ainda não vi, mas tou a fim...e assim que li sua "tip", pensei sim em "Before Sunset". rs. Já sobre o "Jumper", até me surpreendi de você ter gasto dinheiro assistindo...rs. Não me animei. E o Hayden Christensen...vai ter falta de carisma assim lááá...rs. Não que seja importante em um filme ser bom ou não, mas é 90% do que conta em um longa hollywoodiano :p
