Seven Psychopaths Review 2012


Seven Psychopaths Review 2012
A very innovative movie, Seven Psychopaths features some great actors and takes you on a refreshing, baffling and rewarding ride to a complete movie experience.

"Seven Psychopaths" (2012) - Movie Review


Every one who aspired to be a screenwriter after seeing Tarantino splash the screen with odd discussions and cranky mishaps. There is so much obsession in writing for these sociopathic characters. The control and the powerful sarcasm to be a stand up comedian but with fear is like a drug. I know I penned my incomplete screenplay which was few pages with nothing but tough guys screaming, yelling and cursing in the most inventive way possible. Only now when I read it back, it sounds terrible. Martin McDonagh’s screenplay is not. Not in a million years.


One of the most underrated actors out there today is Sam Rockwell. He spends a lot of time on screen alongside Colin Farrell , Woody Harrellson, and Christopher Walken, yet manages to garner most of the laughs and the bulk of the interest.  His character is the richest, to be fair.

But the movie is refreshing because you get a  movie about the writing of a movie. There seems to grow, as the films moves on, a correlation between what the dialogue suggests could or would  happen, as well as what the characters might be like, and what actually happens!

What often makes a good movie a great movie is that the director conditions you very early on not to try and guess what is going to happen. “SP” is unpredictable and while the title implies violence, you realize that the screenplay author has his own reservations about violence–and this actually works to change the way the violence is interpreted.

It’s a gem and a pleasant surprise. I only had to see that Rockwell was in it to want to see it–he is going to break out even more as he is increasingly recognized as a talent. Walken fans won’t be disappointed either.  Woody H. is right on target with his psychopath. Farrell delivered his character on the mark.

Sinister the movie . Horror movie, thoughts


This is review from the new movie Sinister.Sinister the movie . Horror movie, thoughts
I must admit, I have extreme envy towards the easily scared — at least in relation to horror films like “Sinister.”
When it comes to recent entries in this genre — “Sinister” included — I often find myself fighting boredom, confusion or just plain disconnection from the events on screen and desiring, wholeheartedly, to just be scared during one of these blasted things.
Perhaps it comes from seeing too many of these films. Horror and romantic comedies remain two of my favorite formulaic genres, but the problem is that this formula and the conventions of such become so exhaustively familiar that it is hard to find much freshness in the same tired shtick.
Also I may be biased, and admittedly so, as I viewed David Lynch’s terrifyingly surreal horror masterpiece “Eraserhead” for the first time just a couple days before viewing “Sinister.”

It’s no challenge — the latter is like watching cat videos on YouTube in comparison.
This isn’t saying “Sinister” is a bad film, as it is actually one of the better horror movies of recent years, but it pales in contrast to greats such as “Eraserhead” or Kubrick’s “The Shining” because it never quite nails the genius of establishing an ominous atmosphere throughout the entirety of the film.
If you can keep your audience locked in fear, you’ve got something brilliant. If you occasionally suspend them in anxiety and shock them with jump-scares, you’ve got something redundant.
But redundancy is quite entertaining in “Sinister,” a frequently effective fright-machine that makes the most of the familiar footing it treads. It follows a true-crime novelist named Ellison Oswalt (Ethan Hawke) who relocates his family into the house where a family was hanged just outside the back door.
As he begins to investigate the deaths through a mysterious box of “home movies”—grisly Super 8 film stock portraying brutal, connected murders — he uncovers a mystery of ghostly forces that begin to threaten not only his sanity, but his entire family as well.
The movie has got the mood down, and uses it wisely to promote a chilling vibe of supernatural scare tactics and intriguing mystery, but something unfortunately gets lost in the mix. The balance of humor, while refreshing, feels jarring at times — as well as laughs that seem to arise from unintentionally humorous moments (as in, why can’t Ethan Hawke learn how to flick a light switch?).
For the easily scared, the movie will be a surefire hit. For those with thicker skin, “Sinister” is still very likely to entertain. All in all, it’s just another standard-issue horror film where the scares aren’t half as amusing as the woman shrieking from the front row and yelling expletives every time they happen.
With this being an actual reality during my viewing of the film, I wasn’t at all angry towards this woman’s audible reactions. If anything, I desperately wished to join her

Argo 2012 Moview Review

Now i will tell you the new movie.Argo 2012 Moview Review.the movie was Based on true events, Argo chronicles the life-or-death covert operation to rescue six Americans, which unfolded behind the scenes of the Iran hostage crisis-the truth of which was unknown by the public for decades. On November 4, 1979, as the Iranian revolution reaches its boiling point, militants storm the U.S. embassy in Tehran, taking 52 Americans hostage. 
But, in the midst of the chaos, six Americans manage to slip away and find refuge in the home of the Canadian ambassador. Knowing it is only a matter of time before the six are found out and likely killed, a CIA "exfiltration" specialist named Tony Mendez (Ben Affleck) comes up with a risky plan to get them safely out of the country. A plan so incredible, it could only happen in the movies. -- (C) Warner Bros.“Argo” is an astonishing, extraordinary story -- as Affleck said in an interview with Vanity Fair, you wouldn’t believe it if it weren’t true. Equally incredible is how long it took for Hollywood to make this film: The CIA files were declassified by President Clinton in 1997 as part of the agency’s 50th anniversary celebration, and Mendez has since spoken and written at length about the dramatic, high-risk rescue.

On Nov. 4, 1979, Iranian revolutionaries stormed the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, protesting the Carter administration’s decision to grant asylum to Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the recently overthrown and terminally ill Shah of Iran, so that he could receive cancer treatment in the States. The embassy takeover was the culmination of years of Iran’s distrust of the United States -- Iranian citizens resented the U.S. government’s support (driven by oil interests) of the Shah, who reigned for 38 years in what many characterized as a dictatorship.
