Épp az imént láttam Michael Moore "Sicko" c. filmjét. Eléggé megdöbbentő és megvilágosító élmény volt. Egy dolog látni pl. a "Vészhelyzet" egyes epizódjaiban biztosítás nélküli embereket, de persze az ilyen Hollywood-sorozatokban a főhősök legtöbbször valahogyan megoldják a szerencsétlen emberek problémáit. De az igazság az, hogy az amerikai egészségügy még sz*rabb, mint a hazai. És ennek örömére mit terveznek a politikusaink: természetesen lemásolni az amerikai "jó példát".

This movie is simply the most magnificent comic adaptation I've ever seen. I didn't expect such a move from the creators of The Matrix. I find it strange that it was not nominated for any Oscars ... while The Matrix was nominated (and won all) in four categories. Never mind. I've never really agreed with the nominations and winners of these awards anyway. "V" has a very fine set of actors lined up and is a lot more "intellectual", than any other comic movie out there. It makes you think and not just play the "consumer" of an audio-visual experience. I suggest you go and rent (or buy) the DVD the next time you walk past a shop. Probably you'll like it.

In the 12th episode of the 3rd season of "House M.D." ("One Day, One Room") there's a guest star named Katheryn Winnick. I looked her up in IMDb because I've found her quite pretty (besides she played well too), I've never heard of her so I figured what other films she might have played in. Then it turned out she's not a conventional Hollywood babe at all: "holds a third-degree Black Belt in tae kwan do, a second-degree Black Belt in karate and is a licensed bodyguard". I doubt they just made this up and if that's true, she's one of the biggest "anomalies" in the movie industry. What could be the reason for a girl with such a look to develop martial arts skills to that level ... and even sign up for a body guard training course? This is far from normal to say the least.

This is an amazing documentary on the efforts of a visionary engineer who attempts to bring a human mission to Mars to life. It explains all the details in an easy to understand manner and tries to win the viewer for the cause. I really liked it, worth watching.

This is gonna be huge fun.

Here's another short trailer on YouTube.

This is something that makes me always wonder: two movies, both from the Hollywood "dream machine", both telling the same story, made only a couple of years apart. Is there really so little creativity in movie makers' minds? Why do they struggle? Why not just making the same movie again and again? People would not have to bother what they're going to watch ... it'd be all the same, just with different actors, different sets. One could shoot a thriller, a love story or a drama based on the same characters ... who'd care. We're just the stupid mob, aren't we? Or at least I feel like being seen as one. Aside from that, this one was quite the same in quality as its predecessor. It's again typical that one of them got an IMDb rating of 5.7, the other one got 7.4. It's maybe just me, but I'd bet that these ratings are just as much manipulated as eg. Google's pagerank.

Azt hiszem ez kb. az év filmje. Semmi kivetnivaló nincs benne, teljesen elvarázsolt. Ha ez nem ríkat meg, akkor semmi sem. Ráadásul minden korhatár nélküli, gyerekek is megnézhetik. Mostanában nem voltam oda a Walt Disney produkciókért, de ez nagyon jól sikerült. Ráadásul magyar rendezte ...

Végre egy film, melynél egyezik az ízlésem az IMDb értékelésével: 8.4 pont a 10-ből. Kiváló paródiája a különféle "dirr-durr", rendőrös akciófilmeknek. Némi angol humorral van fűszerezve, így nem mindenkinek ajánlott, de annyit elárulhatok, hogy én betegre nevettem magam.

If you think you've already seen some good home made lightsaber duel, then think again. This is the one we've been waiting for. For geeks with enough bandwidth (and/or time) there's a high-res version (1280x720, 430 MB) over at divx.com. You'll need their so called "DivX webplayer" plugin to watch that though.

This is gonna be fun. I liked its predecessor (Bruce Almighty) too and Steve prooved to be a not so bad actor after all.
